My guess is that Andy knows it's wrong but just can't bring himself to say so because of his links to Galloway and Respect. He's sacrificing his own anti-racist beliefs. This example needs to be brought up whenever Viva Palestina is mentioned on SU. Nobody except one person on SU even tried to defend the comment (before comments started to disappear). Says a lot.

Bearing in mind Newman’s rather strange comments on war, morality and Hamas’s tactics, I suppose that if he can rationalize such views in his mind then the racism coming out of some Viva Palestina trustees won’t cause him to bat an eyelid.

Fabian,

As for Soviet “anti-Zionism”, you are more likely to see pigs flying than a critical article on SU blog concerning the topic of Soviet “anti-Zionism, it is too close to home for them.

If you are opposed to antisemitism then why are you avoiding answering this specific example ? I can only presume that because it is Viva Palestina that you are ignoring it. SU publishes regularly on Viva Palestina so i think it's correct that you should look at this example and respond , and take action. Or are you only against antisemitism when it doesn't concern Respect and organisations that you support or are involved in ? Andy , you know it's a disgusting case of antisemitism and it's a shame that you remain silent. Andy. If you are opposed to antisemitism then why are you avoiding answering this specific example ?
