Their argument is spot on. It’s appalling how other submissions ignore and talk over the impact this has on the Jewish community.
Not only do they not care about us. They are fighting for the right to intimidate and abuse us.

In May 2021, Rebecca Morrish, pictured below, then a human rights master's student at the London School of Economics, signed a letter demanding an academic and cultural boycott of Israel and urging LSE to drop the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
She has now been appointed a political adviser to Labour Party Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, whose brief includes arts, media and sport.
Campaign Against @antisemitism in London and @LabourAgainstAS want her removed, raising concerns about the treatment of Israeli and Jewish artists.
