CAA to submit complaint to Charity Commission over IHRC’s “Zionist financiers” letter
The controversial Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) charity has written a letter to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper blaming “Zionist financiers” for the far-right riots in the UK.
The letter opened by saying: “The horrifically shocking racist violence of the last few days in which Muslim communities and asylum seekers have seen their persons, homes, vehicles, businesses, places of residence and mosques attacked has left them feeling unsafe and vulnerable.
“Enabled by their Zionist financiers abroad, far right elements have weaponised the tragic murder of three young girls in Southport to incite the country into pogroms against Muslims and people of colour.”
The reference echoes ancient tropes relating to the Jews about secretive power and puppet-wielding.
The IHRC is best known for its pro-Hizballah “Al-Quds Day” parades under IHRC-badged placards that read “We are all Hizballah”. Hizballah is an antisemitic genocidal terror organisation.
The IHRC is a registered charity, and its rhetoric brings the charitable sector into disrepute.
Campaign Against Antisemitism will be submitting a complaint to the Charity Commission.
