LAST January, when the Labour leadership had yet to be decided, it gave me no pleasure writing in the Morning Star of my fears that all candidates signing up to the Board of Deputies’ (BoD) 10 pledges would result in members being silenced over anything remotely linked to Israel, regardless of whether it was anti-semitic or not, or risk being suspended.
