Britain can’t fight antisemitism without confronting its main driver: hatred of Israel
From false claims about ‘genocide’ to conspiracies about ‘Zionist control’, an old prejudice is being repackaged in the language of activism and human rights to legitimise hostility towards Jews
Assessment
The piece argues that British efforts against antisemitism are incomplete if they ignore anti-Israel hostility as a primary source. It points to how modern activism and human rights language can disguise old prejudices, making them seem legitimate. The claim that hatred of Israel is the main driver of antisemitism is a contested position, and this framing will likely intensify debate over where to draw the line between political criticism and bigotry.
