Copyright and re-use policy See http://shura.shu.ac.uk/information.html Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive http://shura.shu.ac.uk CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Holocaust Inversion in British Politics: The Case of David Ward Lesley Klaff INTRODUCTION Antisemitism in Britain is no longer the preserve of the political far right as it was throughout much of the 20th century. It is more commonly found on the left of the political spectrum where it masks itself as anti-Zionism and uses the language of human rights in the “fight for Palestine.”1 The 2006 All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism found that Holocaust inversion— the provocative comparison between the brutal and genocidal Nazi treatment of the Jews with the policies and practices of the Israeli state towards the Palestinians and the associated idea that “the Jews” should have learnt a moral lesson from the Holocaust—is commonplace among the British left and Palestine solidarity groups, particularly during periods of conflict in the Middle East.2 Indeed, the portrayal of Israelis/Zionists/Jews as Nazis was a prominent feature of protests against the Iraq War, Operation Cast Lead, Operation Pillar of Defence, and most recently, Operation Protective Edge.

  • Election 2015- Hume Brophy Daily Update 14 20 April 2015
    Election 2015- Hume Brophy Daily Update 14 20 April 2015 With only 2 weekends to go until the General Election, on the Political shows yesterday, the Prime Minister David Cameron said the idea of the SNP influencing a Labour government was "a frightening prospect". Mr Cameron added that a possible deal between the two would ensure that people from the rest of the UK “wouldn't get a look in.” Whilst, Nicola Sturgeon hinted that the SNP could back a Labour Queen's Speech after the general election. Scotland’s First Minister said if there were more anti- Tory MPs than Conservative MPs in the Commons, the SNP and Labour could work together to “lock David Cameron out of Downing Street”. Ed Balls said the Labour party was not looking to do any deals with the SNP, either formal coalition or confidence and supply deals. He said: “We're not going to start getting involved in coalitions or with a party that wants to break up the United Kingdom." Mr Balls also said David Cameron was getting “desperate” due to the Tory failure to press ahead in the polls. As mentioned previously, all main party manifestos have been published.

The petition was refused; the judges ruled that it had not been proven beyond reasonable doubt that Alistair Carmichael had committed an illegal practice under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Four constituents had brought the petition which alleged that Mr Carmichael, who was Secretary of State for Scotland in the Coalition Government, had misled voters over a memo which was leaked to the Daily Telegraph at the beginning of the election campaign. This Briefing Paper also gives details of the election court which heard the petition concerning the election of Phil Woolas in Oldham East and Saddleworth in 2010.
