Yes, I agree with Jackie Walker about the left needing to get sharp and upping their game. Good work is done by lots of groups on the left but I always feel there is a lack of coordination sometimes. Compare that to - for example - the Campaign Against Antisemitism with their Enough is Enough campaign, you see a clear unity within its proponents, a repetition of the same (weak) message, but also an effort to fill public places with yellow ribbons and anti-Palestine stickers. The left doesn't seem to be quite so united.
I think also of Husam Zomlot, who is excellent and responding to bullshit corporate media questions. Either he has been schooled by a group of media savvy people, or he has worked out a formula for cutting through. I feel more of the left could learn from this, but I feel there is a lack of unity in messaging.
It's not that the left are all fighting each other, it's just that a tighter, more precise messaging could be more effective in reaching the public, cutting through the bullshit, and getting that message across.
I suppose what I'm saying is taking the messages of the left to the next level, via a unified campaign.
Well worth visiting that camp! People can follow it on socials: @cc4pal. They've been there day and night for 10 months, inspired by the 24/7 picket outside the South African embassy in London from 1986-90 calling for the release of Nelson Mandela.

weaponising anti-Semitism... what's that? You are kidding me!
