Crikey. What a lot of shouting.

I'd like to hear Iain's & Keith's views on how wrong the Labour document is compared with the IHRA document.
Kenny B listed the points ages ago,

the post seems to have been mostly ignored.

1 Accusing Jewish people of being more loyal to Israel than their home country
par. 14  of the NEC Code
“it is also wrong to accuse Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.”

2 Claiming that Israel's existence as a state is a racist endeavour
The party is clear that the Jewish people have the same right to self-determination as any other people.
To deny that right is to treat the Jewish people unequally and is therefore a form of anti-Semitism.

3 Requiring higher standards of behaviour from Israel than other nations
Israel's conduct should be assessed "against the requirements of international law or the standards of behaviour expected of democratic states" and that double standards should not be applied.

4 Comparing contemporary Israeli policies to those of the Nazis
... using Nazi comparisons in Israel-Palestine debates " carries a strong risk of being regarded as prejudicial or grossly detrimental to the party", triggering a disciplinary investigation.
par. 15 says: “it is not permissible to use ‘Zionist’ (and still less any pejorative abbreviation such as ‘zio’ which the Chakrabarti report said should have no place in Labour party discourse) as a code word for ‘Jew’.”
