Reviews

'At last! Here is a book that rigorously examines the facts behind the allegations of antisemitism in the Labour Party. The reality is more shocking, and more surprising, than the headlines in the press would have you believe. Here is the evidence - read it. Then learn the lessons suggested here' -- Ken Loach


'The scourge of anti-Semitism is terrifying and rapidly increasing. The recent claim, notably in the right wing press, that it has become institutionally entrenched in the British Labour Party has become widespread, and of course deeply electorally damaging. The essays in this book provide evidence and arguments that are deeply troubling for all concerned, and demand careful attention.' -- Peter Golding, Emeritus Professor, Northumbria University 'At last! Here is a book that rigorously examines the facts behind the allegations of antisemitism in the Labour Party. The reality is more shocking, and more surprising, than the headlines in the press would have you believe. Here is the evidence - read it. Then learn the lessons suggested here' -- Ken Loach
