We Must Defeat IHRA A.S. definition

Donation protected
Support the fighting fund to prevent the Labour Party, trade unions and local authorities from using the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism as an excuse to expel, suspend or sack members who decry Israel as a racist endeavour and criticise its cynical use of the Holocaust to get what it wants.

We aim to prevent Labour or any trade union using the IHRA  as a basis to discipline members. In its wholesale application to Labour's what 300,000 strong membership, many would go so far as to say the IHRA is leading the Labour Party to assist Binyamin Netanyahu in his mission to destroy any who speak out against Israel's apartheid. It has also led to the silencing of free speech for many of the UK's 6.5 million trade unionists. At least two Council workers have suffered too, one by suspension, the other by dismissal.

Winning this battle will help benefit all in the Middle East, caught up in conflict. Why? Because freedom of speech on Israel allows Party and union members - and public employees - to declare that defeating apartheid requires the next Labour Government to impose sanctions, as was called for at the 2021 Labour Conference.

If other countries then follow suit in sanctioning  Israel, we might yet see it forced to abandon its 60+ race laws  to give Palestinians (including those in Gaza and West Bank) the right to vote in Knesset elections in a single-state solution. An Israel that gives the 'right to return' to those made homeless in the 1948 Nakba and which makes reparations in accordance with UN resolution 194, reaffirmed every year since 1949. An Israel that gives true equality to all who live there.

We may then bring peace for Palestine and Israel, in our lifetime.


Your contribution will help in securing free speech on Israel, both in the Labour Party and in those many institutions that have adopted the full IHRA in the UK- the unions, the councils, the schools and colleges, the police, the government itself. We must be free to decry racism wherever it shows its face - including in Israel, where the apartheid system discriminates against any who are not Jews.
