PALESTINIAN civil society groups called on the Labour Party and trade unions today to reject the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-semitism because it would silence criticism of Israel’s policies.
A collection of 24 trade unions, campaign groups and refugee networks issued a statement against the adoption of the definition, saying that it “conflates anti-semitism with criticism of Israel.”
The signatories include the General Union of Palestinian Workers, General Union of Palestinian Teachers, General Union of Palestinian Peasants, Palestinian Camps Boycott Movement (Lebanon) and Women Campaign to Boycott Israeli Products.
