Open forum on the question of anti-semitism
When - Tuesday 7. August at 7:30 pm .
Where - Brighthelm Centre (find it on a map) .
Organised by - Sussex Action for Peace.
Last summer during Israel's attack on Lebanon, the police accused peace activists of deliberately provoking Hove's Jewish community, by staging the start of a ceasefire demonstration in Palmeira Square. The police also claim that an anti-semitic incident took place on a previous demonstration. SAfP vigorously refutes these allegations.
More recently, British trade unions have been attacked and labelled anti-semitic in the media by supporters of Israel, for adopting boycotts of Israeli goods and institutions in solidarity with the Palestinians.
And only last week, Channel 4 broadcast a programme in which the right wing columnist Richard Littlejohn attempted to show that a wave of anti-semitism was sweeping Britain. His targets? Muslims and the antiwar Left.
What's going on? Is this a concerted campaign to undermine the opponents of Israel and its backers Bush & Blair (now Brown)? We aim to answer the question in our discussion at this open forum of Sussex Action for Peace, which will be introduced by Tony Greenstein.
All welcome
