Labour’s treatment of left wing Jews – an update
JVL Introduction
Yet again the Labour Party has responded derisively to evidence from Jewish members that they have been treated unlawfully in ways that actually undermine the Party’s supposed commitment to the elimination of real antisemitism. JVL’s lawyers have written to the party, sending a copy to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), explaining in no uncertain terms “that they (Labour) have ignored, misinterpreted or misunderstood our evidence of unlawful discrimination and harassment.”
Here we publish the latest Crowd Justice update about the cases we have taken up.
We will continue to challenge the Labour Party on their mistreatment of our members. An update on Stephen Marks’ case will follow later this month.
If you have not seen it already, we recommend viewing Stephen’s interview, alongside JVL co-chair Jenny Manson, with Mark Seddon on Palestine Deep Dive.
Another significant development is the victory in David Miller’s employment law case showing anti-Zionism to be a protected belief under the Equalities Act 2010.

Response to Labour Party on Jewish cases
Our lawyers have written again to the Labour Party to follow up on our preliminary concerns about various breaches of the Equality Act 2010 which we raised back in August 2023 and for which we only heard back from the Party in December 2023! We have sent a copy of this redacted letter to the EHRC pointing out the lack of transparency within the Labour Party’s processes.

You should really know by now that the problem isnt really antisemitism although it manifests itself in that manner. The problem is islamophobia. And this zionist labour cannot possibly have left wings jews supporting us muslims and undermining their zionism.
I wonder if this case from The Green Party reported by the BBC is relevant?
‘The Green Party discriminated against former deputy leader Dr Shahrar Ali during a row over his gender critical beliefs, a court has ruled.’
A different issue of course, but the same principal?
It ain’t complicated – Zionism uses Judaism as a human shield.
P.S.
More state-affiliated media propaganda from the usual suspects about to drop:
[9th Feb. 2024]
‘Planned BBC smear on UK Palestinians will rely on Israeli spy source’ – Citing Israeli “terror” allegations, the BBC plans to broadcast an attack on prominent British Palestinians in a television program presented by pro-Israel reporter John Ware.
The Electronic Intifada has learned that the episode of Panorama is likely to be based partly on “confidential evidence” which has almost certainly been provided by Israeli spies…’

It appears to me that there is more truth in Israeli newspapers than there is
in the UK media.
See for example the allegation in the “Times of Israel” on 8th October 2023:
“For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces”
– his motive being to undermine the Palestinian Authority
with a brief history of the relationship in “Haaretz” on 20th October 2023.
(A further account can be seen in “The Washington Post” from 20th November 2023.)
