“Campaign Against Antisemitism” called to account. Not before time
JVL Introduction
It has taken the Charity Commission a long time to call the UK-based charity Campaign Against Antisemitism to account.
But it has finally done so after pressure from John McDonnell MP and Jewish Voice for Liberation.
The Middle East Eye exclusive, reposted below, examines various failures of the CAA, including its accusation of antisemitism against Dr Ray Campbell of Goldsmiths’ University which led to a 5-month suspension while an investigation was under way – one which conclusively cleared him of the allegation.
In the most polite of language, the regulator issued a sharp rebuke to the CAA, imposing a “remedial Action Plan” requiring trustees to “improve the administration, management and governance of the CAA in light of the concerns raised and our findings set out above”.

A Middle East Eye Exclusive: UK charity regulator found 'mismanagement' by Campaign Against Antisemitism
CAA has previously been accused of conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, and has now been issued with a remedial Action Plan

It appears that the Charity Commission, was worried about being called anti Semitic. If they’ve been following the politics over the past 6 years, where AS has been abused by Israel and its supporters, it stands out a mile and the Charity Commission needs to be on the ball. Many of us haven’t forgot what Israel and its supporters did to the LP and Jeremy Corbyn!!
The CAA is a zionist black propaganda outfit, and the Charity Commission know damn well that it is. Oh, and it’s purely coincidental of course that the CAA just happened to obtain their charity status in October 2015 (October 1st to be precise), a couple of weeks or so after Jeremy was elected leader (and had been the hot favourite to win in the months prior).
Is there any other organisation with charity status that would refer to someone as the ‘former antisemitic leader’, as the CAA regularly does in relation to Jeremy Corbyn! And they in effect subverted democracy, along with the JLM and CST and BoD et al, and the MSM who gave them a platform, and their lies and falehoods and smears and demonisation of Jeremy and the left membership credibility.
very timely
there is a Times of Israel story
