Who are the "Campaign Against Antisemitism"?

Plus: Why the Board of Deputies is a front for Israel in Britain.

The badly named “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (or CAA), as well as the Board of Deputies of British Jews, have recently been trying to get the film Oh Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie censored and canceled.

So on Sunday I appeared on Not the Andrew Marr Show alongside Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi to talk about the CAA and why it is really a campaign against Palestinians.

You can watch the whole segment in the video above.

You can read the article by Tony Greenstein about the CAA which I refer to by clicking here. EI also has a whole series of articles about the group which you can read here.

Crispin played a clip of the CAA’s Joe Glasman from 2019: you can watch the full video below, as well as reading my report about it here.

You can read Naomi’s useful deconstruction of the CAA’s intimidating legal letters over at the JVL website here.

And finally, you can read the full Board of Deputies internal document admitting to a “close working relationship with the Embassy of Israel” over at the Charity Commission website here.

I’ve also attached a copy of the full document to this article (see page 5):
