UK NUS is under fire for for antisemitism.
mercredi 20 avril 2022 à 02:05The UK National Union of Students is under fire for for antisemitism.
Distinguishing between antisemitism and criticism of Israel's policy requires care. I take care because I condemn antisemitism and I oppose the occupation of Palestine.
The article presents an old example from an NUS leader which is real
antisemitism. However, the NUS has adopted the IHRC's
classificatory scheme for antisemitism
as a criterion for judgment. That draws the line at the wrong
place, and thus systematically opens the door to repressing criticism
of the occupation of Palestine. Past examples suggest that some
organizations, perhaps including the British government, will try to
make the NUS expel all those who criticize it.
