Should criticism of the State of Israel and the political ideology of Zionism be labeled anti-Semitic?
This question has been debated in company board rooms, university administrations, government legislatures and, now, the headquarters of Facebook.
Last summer, Facebook received a request from a coalition of pro-Israel groups to adopt the “working definition” of anti-Semitism drafted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
A leaked company email that followed sparked concern as the global communications platform considers a change to its hate speech policy.
The IHRA working definition has been used to shape laws and policies in 30 US states, numerous universities, governments and other organizations around the world. The US State Department adopted the definition and a department official recently affirmed the Biden administration’s support.

The Rank and File (1971) and
The Price of Coal (1977) are indicative. He also raised the issue of mental health provision and methods in his television play

As I have posted in the past, Asa Winstanley of the Electronic Intifada is – like his boss Ali “Abumination” Abunimah – a vile Jew hater.
One of his favorite past-times is to engage in gaslighting by accusing pro-Israel people of being antisemitic. And he’s done it yet again, this time targeting Israel’s new ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely.
Israel’s new ambassador to the UK stereotyped a Jewish human rights group in anti-Semitic terms, The Electronc Intifada has learned.
In a Hebrew YouTube video last year, Tzipi Hotovely mocked Breaking the Silence as being motivated by money.
