Jewish Labour Movement’s anti-semitism training is pro-Israel propaganda, say left Labour groups
A NUMBER of left Labour groups have urged members to boycott an upcoming training session on anti-semitism offered by the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM), which they say is a “propaganda organ” for the Israeli state.
The call was made by campaign groups Labour Against the Witchhunt, the Labour Campaign for Free Speech, the Labour Left Alliance and the Labour in Exile Network.
They said that members should instead hold education sessions to discuss the difference between anti-zionism and anti-semitism, as well as on recognising and combating all forms of racism.
