  • Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections
    Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections David Hirsh Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series, Charles Asher Small. Working Paper Hirsh 2007 ISSN: 1940-610X © Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second floor New York, NY 10022 United States Office Telephone: 212-230-1840 www.isgap.org ABSTRACT This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.

In the UK, the media’s persistent focus on finding anything and everything problematic with Islam or Muslims has, to some extent, entered the subconscious of many parts of British society. Sober thinking parts of the academia and intelligentsia are now getting quite perturbed about it. This makes the on-going work of the MCB even more critical and relevant in today's climate and in the latter part of this address I will say a few words about this.

  • 1 Rebels As Local Leaders?
    Rebels as local leaders? The Mayoralties of Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson Compared Ben Worthy Mark Bennister The Mayoralty of London offers a powerful electoral platform but weak powers to lead a city regarded as ‘ungovernable’ (Travers 2004). This paper adapts the criteria of Hambleton and Sweeting (2004) to look at the first two Mayors’ mandate and vision, style of leadership and policies. Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson were both party rebels, mavericks and skilled media operators. However, their differences are key. As mayor, Livingstone had a powerful vision that translated into a set of clear policy aims while Johnson had a weaker more cautious approach shaped by his desire for higher office. Livingstone built coalitions but proved divisive whereas Johnson was remarkably popular. While Livingstone bought experience and skill, Johnson delegated detail to others. Both their mayoralties courted controversy and faced charges of corruption and cronyism. Both mayors used publicity to make up for weak powers. They also found themselves pushed by their powers towards transport and planning while struggling with deeper issues such as housing. In policy terms Livingstone pushed ahead with the radical congestion charge and a series of symbolic policies. Johnson was far more modest, championing cycling and revelling in the 2012 Olympics while avoiding difficult decisions. The two mayors used their office to negotiate but also challenge central government. Livingstone’s Mayoralty was a platform for personalised change-Johnson’s one for personal ambition. Directly Elected Mayors were introduced to provide local leadership, accountability and vision to UK local government. Beginning under New Labour and continued under the Coalition and Conservatives, directly elected mayors were offered initially by referendum, and later imposed, up and down the country beginning with London 2000 and then in 16 cities and towns including Bristol and Liverpool.

    Prof. Tony Martin Dis-Invited to UK! Page 1 of 7 Dr. Tony Martin to Speak in London Just In: Report From the London Conference Prof. Tony Martin Dis- Invited to UK! Mayor's Uncle Tom Lee Jasper Does Dirty Work -- UK Blacks Protest --Ask Other Invitees Not to Attend British Blacks are outraged over the dis-invitation of the highly renowned Marcus Garvey scholar Dr. Tony Martin to a Black History Month event scheduled for October 25th in London. The event, an annual opportunity for Blacks to hear lectures from the world's top Black scholars, is arranged through the mayor's office which funds and promotes the event through its yassir-boss-negro Lee Jasper. When London Mayor Ken Livingstone was informed of Dr. Martin's uncompromising analysis of the Black/Jewish relationship (see Martin's landmark book, The Jewish Onslaught), Jasper was ordered to "dis-invite" Martin-- an order which Jasper promptly and dutifully carried out. London's Blacks, outraged by Jasper's unreserved submission, appealed to other invitees to refuse their invitations unless Martin's invitation is restored. [editor's note: Uncle Tomism has plagued the Black man for centuries. The Black Anglo-Saxon, Lee Jasper, is not the first one to buck and shimmy on behalf of Jews. Read the Open Letter to the Uncle Toms from the African United Front.] Below is an exchange of correspondence between Lee Jasper and Dr. Tony Martin, along with the international community's expressions of outrage.

  • Boris Johnson Making London’S Mayor More Accountable
    Making London’s Mayor Accountable Boris Johnson Making London’s Mayor More Accountable I believe Londoners should have a greater say on how their city is run, more information on how decisions are made and details on how City Hall money is spent. Ken Livingstone presides over a budget of more than £10billion and demands £311 per year from the average taxpaying household in London. Yet Londoners have little confidence in the Mayor spending their money with care and prudence. Mayor Livingstone’s extravagant spending on publicity, his jaunts to Cuba and Venezuela at taxpayers’ expense, and the recent reports of his close advisers using their influence to manipulate the expenditure of public money have all confirmed that Ken Livingstone’s Mayoralty is unaccountable and disdainful of scrutiny. If elected, I will aim to create a different style of government at City Hall by introducing a series of measures designed to make my Mayoralty more accountable, and spending more transparent. The first of these will be the reform of People’s Question Times, open public forums where ordinary residents are able to question the Mayor and London Assembly members. Under my plans, not only will we hold these events more frequently, but we will establish question sessions that focus on myself and perhaps my Deputy too, giving Londoners the chance to question their Mayor more directly. By exercising the Mayor’s right to chair the Metropolitan Police Authority, I will take direct responsibility for tackling crime, and will be fully accountable for police performance. Local Borough Commanders will be required to hold monthly open public meetings so that local people can regularly hold their police to account.

  • A Mayor and Assembly for London. Report
    A Mayor and Assembly for London: 10 years on Report of Conference at LSE 2 nd July 2010 Opening remarks of Chairman, Emeritus Professor George Jones, Chairman of the Greater London Group [GLG] This conference follows one of May 2007 held at City Hall, which had looked at the performance and demise of the Greater London Council [GLC]. Notable speakers at that event were the then Mayor, Ken Livingstone, and Lord (Desmond) Plummer, a former Conservative Leader of the GLC, who had since died. That earlier event was timed to mark the 40-year anniversary of the date when Plummer had become leader. Earlier this year L.J. [Jim] Sharpe died. He had been a research officer with the GLG in the early 1960s and had helped prepare evidence leading to the establishment of the GLC. He went on to write two pioneering GLG papers about the 1961 London County Council (LCC) Elections called A Metropolis Votes (1962) and about Research in Local Government (1965) . He remained a frequent visitor to the Group and writer about London government. I would like to dedicate this conference to Jim’s memory. The Group also lost a few days ago William Plowden who sat with me at GLG Monday afternoon meetings under the chairmanship of William Robson when I first joined the Group in 1966. Today’s conference is timely since the vesting day of the Greater London Authority [GLA], when it came into being, is ten years ago tomorrow. The objective of the conference is to assess the performance of the Mayor and Assembly that make up the GLA, looking at why and how it came into being, its achievements and disappointments.

The position offers a commanding electoral platform, but weak powers to lead a city regarded as ‘ungovernable’ (Travers 2004).The two mayors had some obvious points of comparison: both were party rebels, mavericks and skilled media operators. Both also used publicity to make up for weak powers, but courted controversy and faced charges of corruption and cronyism. Utilising Hambleton and Sweeting (2004), this article compares their mayoralties in terms of vision, leadership style and policies. Livingstone had a powerful vision that translated into clear policy aims while Johnson was more cautious, shaped by a desire for higher office. In terms of style, Livingstone built coalitions but proved divisive whereas Johnson retained remarkable levels of popularity. Where Livingstone bought experience and skill, Johnson delegated.

Further information is available from http://www.london.gov.uk/londonissues/environment.jsp This document is printed on Revive Silk - 100 per cent de-inked post consumer waste paper. Foreword by Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London It is almost impossible to exaggerate the danger of climate change. I have no doubt that it is the single biggest threat to the future development of human civilisation. When scientists talk of the threat of catastrophic climate change they don’t just mean the inconvenience of extra flooding or the Tube being unbearably hot in summer. If no action is taken to cut carbon emissions we face temperature rises of over five degrees towards the end of this century. It took a temperature drop of just five degrees to cause the last ice-age, so the impact of a temperature increase of the same level would be profound. The map of the world would be changed beyond recognition as sea levels rise, and hundreds of millions of people would be displaced by drought, starvation and the increased ferocity of extreme weather events. © Liane Harris Collectively, we have been complacent about global warming for far too long. It is 10 years since the Kyoto Protocol was signed and still global carbon emissions continue to rise.
