  • fairly sure that the Campaign Against Antisemitism doesn't speak for all Jewish people

    fairly sure they don't. they speak against anti-semitism. which is what this cockend has been called on. the hints in the name.

    i don't understand why you're arguing the toss about this.

  • I'm not arguing! I'm just pointing out that an organisation whose sole purpose is to combat antisemitism (a worthy cause for sure) can't really be relied on to give an unbiased, objective take on whether something constitutes antisemitism.

    An analogy - I'm sure the Campaign for Rural England do good work but if I wanted a balanced view on whether we should build more motorways they'd be pretty much the last people I'd call. You must get that?

  • Although by that analogy, you should seek their opinion. They have done extensive research into the negative impact of motorways on rural communities so their views have an element of validity, if you accept in advance the bias.

    They shouldn't be quoted or cited as an independent view though which is I think what you were trying to get at.
