The Fraud serialisation, Part Six: the role of Labour Against Antisemitism

“One of Margolyes’ allegedly antisemitic acts, according to ‘Gordstein’, was to use her Facebook profile to share an impassioned article written in 2019 by the highly regarded Jewish social anthropologist and London School of Economics professor David Graeber. Graeber challenged aspects of the mainstream narrative alleging a ‘crisis’ of antisemitism in the Labour Party. He argued that the way the Labour Party ‘antisemitism crisis’ had been covered was itself antisemitic, because it generated unjustified “rancour, panic and resentment” that “creates terror in the Jewish community”. Ironically, Graeber had written in despair about how many of the “protagonists” of the antisemitism crisis “were not Jewish”.”
