Burnham’s pandering to antizionists will unleash a torrent of antisemitism
The prime minister-in-waiting has apologised for Labour’s stance on Gaza. But when you give a bigot what he wants you don’t sate his hunger; you create an even bigger appetite for bigotry
Assessment
The piece argues that Burnham's apology on Gaza will not appease antizionists but instead embolden antisemitism. It warns that conceding to ideological hostility risks amplifying hatred rather than reducing it. The reader should watch whether Burnham's political strategy triggers a measurable rise in anti-Jewish incidents.
