Publisher's Synopsis
During the summer of 2018 a long-simmering row over antisemitism between several Jewish organisations and the Labour Party came to a head and was featured daily in a parade of newspaper headlines and media interviews. But behind the headlines was a different story - of a definition of antisemitism that was not fit for purpose. This book provides the stories that were missing from the news headlines. It presents accounts of people who have been unjustifiably subjected to accusations of antisemitism, including the author, Karl Sabbagh, and provides detailed material from a number of sources which analyse some of the events and practices that have led to the current situation and which have been underreported or missing from the media coverage.
