BOOK LAUNCH - ASA WINSTANLEY, "WEAPONISING ANTI-SEMITISM: HOW THE ISRAEL
LOBBY BROUGHT DOWN JEREMY CORBYN"
Asa Winstanley has been writing about Palestine and the Israel lobby
since 2005. He has been an associate editor and reporter with the
award-winning website The Electronic Intifada for more than a decade. He
spent two years living under Israeli occupation in the West Bank.
In an electrifying account, as meticulously researched as it is
fast-paced, Winstanley shows how Labour's anti-Semitism crisis was
manufactured by those who feared Jeremy Corbyn's support for the
Palestinian cause and a broad progressive agenda.
Drawing on new interviews with many of those victimised in purges the
Labour leadership claimed were necessary to tackle anti-Semitism,
Winstanley exposes a highly effective operation that saw the Israeli
embassy, the right-wing of the Labour Party, and the mainstream media
acting in concert to prevent a socialist from entering Downing Street.
Scottish PSC has been a target of the Israel lobby long before Corbyn
stood for Labour leadership and is at the fore in fighting back against
Police Scotland and Crown Office attempts to smother our rights to
campaign in support of Palestinian rights. Asa's work is invaluable in
providing a wider context for Israels efforts to defend its apartheid
regime.
Please note, this event is free, but Scottish PSC welcomes donations to
cover event costs (such as venue hire and speaker travel) - suggested
donation £5, payable at checkout.
SIGNED COPIES OF ASA'S BOOK WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE EVENT
