WE are very concerned about the joint statement of the three Jewish newspapers in the UK that asserts false definitions of anti-semitism for political ends and falsely claims that a British government led by Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party would somehow represent an “existential threat to Jewish life.”
Labour recognises that criticism of Israel is not the same as anti-semitism — and the claim that therefore the party would “be seen by all decent people as an institutionally racist, anti-semitic party” is simply wrong.
We are “decent people” and we are American Jews. And as Jews, and as the board of one of the leading Jewish organisations in the US, we stand with those many Jews across Britain, the US and the rest of the world, and with our Palestinian allies, who all know that criticism of Israel is not the same as anti-semitism.
