  • Antisemitism in the Radical Left and the British Labour Party, by Dave Rich
    Kantor Center Position Papers Editor: Mikael Shainkman January 2018 ANTISEMITISM IN THE RADICAL LEFT AND THE BRITISH LABOUR PARTY Dave Rich* Executive Summary Antisemitism has become a national political issue and a headline story in Britain for the first time in decades because of ongoing problems in the Labour Party. Labour used to enjoy widespread Jewish support but increasing left wing hostility towards Israel and Zionism, and a failure to understand and properly oppose contemporary antisemitism, has placed increasing distance between the party and the UK Jewish community. This has emerged under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, a product of the radical 1960s New Left that sees Israel as an apartheid state created by colonialism, but it has been building on the fringes of the left for decades. Since Corbyn became party leader, numerous examples of antisemitic remarks made by Labour members, activists and elected officials have come to light. These remarks range from opposition to Israel’s existence or claims that Zionism collaborated with Nazism, to conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds or ISIS. The party has tried to tackle the problem of antisemitism through procedural means and generic declarations opposing antisemitism, but it appears incapable of addressing the political culture that produces this antisemitism: possibly because this radical political culture, borne of anti-war protests and allied to Islamist movements, is precisely where Jeremy Corbyn and his closest associates find their political home. A Crisis of Antisemitism Since early 2016, antisemitism has become a national political issue in Britain for the first time in decades. This hasn’t come about because of a surge in support for the far right, or jihadist terrorism against Jews.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

    LABOUR PARTY DEMOCRACY REVIEW OPEN LABOUR SUBMISSION - PART 1 WWW.OPENLABOUR.ORG Introduction Open Labour is a national grassroots membership organisation representing the open left, a tradition within Labour’s broad left. Our politics are about economic and democratic transformation in the UK, but we are also realists. We start from the assumption that whilst most people share values which are socialist ones, most people do not see themselves as identifying with or being a part of the left and its movements. This means that we advocate a left politics which is based on pluralism, because different parts of our movement have different roles, and on listening and alliance building, because socialists have no majority without bringing new people on board with us. Open Labour has a number of aligned MPs and is historically rooted in a tradition best exemplified by the likes of Robin Cook, spanning from the centre of the party to its left and including sections of the trade union movement. Our tradition within the party has acted as part of a broader left, fighting alongside some aligned organisations such as CLPD as part of the Centre-Left Grassroots Alliance in the 1990s and 2000s. The object of this was to push against New Labour’s centralism, for greater transparency, membership power and democracy – values which we still believe in. Our membership has also pushed for much greater involvement of affiliates both as collective voices and as individuals, with most in opposition to the Collins review despite the general support of the open left for Ed Miliband during his period as leader.
