'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 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*
What the careful research reported in this book reveals is a
successful disinformation campaign in which the BBC as well as the
Guardian have been complicit. Anyone who cares for facts needs to
read it.
*Colin Leys, honorary professor at Goldsmiths University of London;
author of 'Market-Driven Politics: Neoliberal Democracy and the
Public Interest', and, with Stewart Player, 'The Plot Against the
NHS'*
'This compelling, thoughtful text is essential reading for everyone
wanting to confront antisemitism on the Left. It provides a
benchmark for future research and strategy when tackling this
explosive issue of our time'
*Lynne Segal, author of 'Radical Happiness: Moments of Collective
Joy'*
