Rightwingers trying to 'bully' Labour into adopting flawed anti-semitism definition

LABOUR rightwingers are trying to “bully” the party into adopting a flawed definition of anti-semitism, the Jewish Socialists’ Group charged today.
MPs and lobbying groups such as Labour Against Anti-Semitism have attacked the party’s national executive committee (NEC) for adopting guidelines on anti-semitism which do not include controversial examples attached to the International Holocaust Remembrance Association definition.
Labour Against Anti-Semitism spokesman Euan Philipps said the NEC’s view showed that “the Labour movement has lost its moral compass [and] appears to have an institutional anti-semitism issue.”
