Workers’ Liberty (2005).

The article, published by the Marxist Alliance for Workers’ Liberty attempts to reflect the group’s position on what constitutes left antisemitism and where it is manifested. It differentiates between criticism of Israel and attempts to condemn Israel outright and deny its right to exist. It highlights a distinct attitude of left-wing antisemites to Jewish nationhood in contrast to their treatment of other nationalisms, and its concomitant hostility to most Jews outside of Israel. It is suggested that left antisemitism is predicated on a misrepresentation and falsification of the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and frequently alludes to antisemitic conspiracy theories.

This in depth analysis challenges the thesis that Islamist and Arab antisemitism is solely related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, cynically exploited for propaganda reasons by Arab rulers and intellectual elites. The history of Muslim-Jewish relations is explored, and evidence of past and present allusions to traditional antisemitic themes and conspiracy theories and to Holocaust denial are highlighted as well as the more familiar anti-Zionist positions more widely acknowledged.
