Discussion and book launch on Antisemitism in central London on 28th February
Taking Back The Debate: Left Wing Approaches to Fighting Antisemitism
February 28th 7pm £3 entry (redeemable against any purchase)
Housmans Bookshop
Speakers: Aviah Day, Keziah Berelson and Annie Cohen.
Chaired by Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi
Antisemitism has been a fraught topic in recent years, with the political right accusing the left of being soft on it, and the left sometimes viewing accusations of antisemitism as attempts to derail the Corbyn project.
This discussion will attempt to bring insight and nuance to the topic, and reclaim the fight against antisemitism as a left wing, anti-racist cause. It will consider the question of anti-Zionism and antisemitism, intersections between antisemitism and other racisms and the complexities of being a majority group in one state and a minority everywhere else.
The discussion will be rooted in the new book from the US group Jewish Voice for Peace: On Antisemitism: Solidarity and the Struggle for Social Justice.
This event is organised by Jewish Voice for Labour.
