• anthony henshall
• andy white “mccarthysim”
• patrick dawes
• naomi wimborne-idrissi, co-founder and secretary of j-big (jews for boycotting israeli goods) “it’s not the same as antisemitism, which is a visceral hatred of jews”
• shirley mowbrath
• graham
• judy “but those people who criticise israel because they actually want to destroy her, they are anti-semitic … unfortunately, there are some jews who are anti-semitic on that basis”
