Why this petition matters

Started by Tony Greenstein

The so-called Campaign Against Anti-Semitism is a organisation whose aim is to smear and libel opponents of Israel's apartheid regime. 

Ever since its formation during Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014, when over 2,000 Palestinians, including 551 children were murdered by Israeli missile attacks and shelling of civilian areas, it has sought to tarnish supporters of the Palestinians and anti-Zionists with the label ‘anti-Semitism’. 

The fact that the CAA is officially a registered charity is outrageous.  It provides no Public Benefit, the test of any charity nor are its activities remotely charitable.  It is a nakedly right-wing political organisation.

Last Friday it attacked a member of Hove Labour Party and a Momentum supporter Rebecca Massey.  She has since received death threats.  Yesterday it smeared the veteran Israeli Jewish anti-Zionist Emeritus 80 year old Professor Moshe Machover as ‘anti-Semitic’.  With its attack on Machover, the CAA has reached a new low. 

A cursory search of its archives reveals almost nothing on fascist groups, who are anti-Semitic holocaust deniers.  There are however 21 entries for Jewish Labour MP Gerald Kaufman, who supports the Palestinians, 70 entries for Jeremy Corbyn and 29 for Shami Chakrabarti - all of them hostile.  There were 8 for Theresa May, but only to congratulate her!

The CAA's purpose is to limit freedom of speech by attacking as 'anti-Semitic' opponents of the Israeli state.  Please support this petition.
