This has been doing the rounds - which was a more credible justification for the action

Thanks.. Trying to explain to my wife why this was more than it initially seems.. The tweet you linked to infinitely more to the point

To summarise - criticising Israel = absolutely legitimate. Probably helpful if what you’re saying is true. Probably also helpful if what you’re saying doesn’t echo millennia of antisemitic tropes & current active antisemitic conspiracy theories. 11/
I'm a bit hungover and trying to make sense of this and that thread didn't really help

I really think this highlights the Independent doing a terrible job. If the sentence in question was so obviously antisemetic, I’m really baffled as to why the journalist didn’t call this out with Peak during the interview? Or after the fact, when it came to writing the article - it still wasn’t highlighted as an antisemetic conspiracy theory, instead they linked Amnesty International’s report on Israel US police training and stated that an Israeli police force spokesperson denied the claim. I know if I read that and saw the AI link I’d think it gave credibility to the preceding statement. I’m assuming someone higher up then reads the article before it’s published?
Then only after publishing the article, the Independent removes the Amnesty International link altogether.
Apparently the Labour MP Kate Osborne also tweeted the article along with praise for Maxine Peak. Has she been reprimanded in anyway?

Are we at criticism of Israel= anti semitism again?
That renowned anti semitic organisation, Amnesty International, has been highlighting the issue of US Police being trained in Israel for years.
