Stephen Marks, a Labour member for more than 40 years, says accusation of antisemitism is 'repellent' and ignored his Jewishness and anti-Zionist beliefs
It’s so exhausting, but this is the real antisemitism. When you retaliate against Jews for expressing our political opinions, you’re the ones being antisemitic, not the Jews speaking our minds.
It’s a damn shame that so many people are incapable of grasping that Jews can be just as critical of the actions of a foreign government as anyone else. In fact, it is antisemitic to assert that Jews must adhere to some shared belief that doesn’t reflect our reality or values. When Israel acts like a monstrous murderer, this Jew will always call it out.
