Stand against Britain's Dreyfus moment
Mark Birbeck describes Monday's parliamentary debate about Israel's influence in Britain, as a watershed moment. He argues that Britain's institutions are moving from tolerating anti-Semitism to hosting it, and consequently that this is our Dreyfus Moment; it must be challenged.
📰 Our Fight Weekly | An ill-advised ban | 2026-06-04
