Campaign Against Antisemitism will be writing to Camden Council over an incendiary sign that was seen this week in the window of a Kentish Town residence.
The sign claims that Zionism “is an amoral political belief based on racist and supremicist [sic] (not a religion).”
It goes on to say that the “Israely [sic] State cows and corrupts our political class and media.”
According to the International Definition of Antisemitism, “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination (e.g. by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour)” and “Making mendacious, dehumanising, demonising, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions” are both examples of antisemitism.
The sign also draws upon the pseudoscientific idea of “originol Semetic [sic] peoples.”
