Is Antisemitism Antisemitic?
JVL Introduction
In this article from ‘NEVER AGAIN’, Poland’s leading anti-racist organisation, we get some insight into the murderous right-wing antisemitism which is such a growing threat today.
Here ‘NEVER AGAIN’ finds itself being sued for having intervened successfully to prevent the sale of overtly antisemitic materials on a popular e-commerce platform in Poland.
The mere titles of the books objected to and the minimal indication of their content shows that the antisemitism we need to fear and oppose is on the rise again.
The court case against ‘NEVER AGAIN’ is adjourned until later this year. In a Poland that is veering rapidly to the right, we will follow it with great concern.

It beggars belief that ANYONE could NOW publish such dreadful material. It’s like raw sewage invading one’s home. It makes one feel physically sick just to see those words in print. I can’t even imagine what the minds must be like which could produce it or work on it.
Linda’s post above speaks for me also. Meanwhile, whilst real and serious anti Semitism continues to gain currency, we have Zionist groups accusing innocent people of anti Semitism, for criticising the the murderous Israeli State. It is almost as though these people welcome real anti Semitism in order to drive Jewish people in the diaspora from their homes and countries into the welcoming arms of Zionist Israel
Cannot disagree with Linda! It was the Polish banner that really attracted me to read this piece. It so happens that in my research to write a follow-up article for http://www.campain.org related to https://jewishvoiceforliberation.org.uk/article/textbooks-altered-line-by-line-at-uk-lawyers-for-israels-behest/
I discovered a Noru Tsalic. He was behind the UKLFI getting Hodder’s textbook equivalent withdrawn. https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/how-not-to-teach-history-a-textbook-example/ His blog is also translated into Polish and published in http://www.listyznaszegosadu.pl It appears more than coincidence that Tsalic is publishing in a country, like Hungary, which has shifted rightwards– the only logical reason for the lawsuit written about here, to even be considered by its authors winnable. Just awful.
