LAAS clarification re Lisa Forbes MP

Labour Against Antisemitism has issued the following statement:

The current official Labour Party line on Lisa Forbes appears to be that she accidentally ‘liked’ a tweet that was antisemitic – as per Barry Gardiner MPon The Andrew Marr Show and Jon Ashworth on Ridge on Sunday.

This is a clear attempt to minimise the case of alleged antisemitism against Lisa Forbes.

In reality Lisa Forbes allegedly:

• Did ‘like’ a post claiming Theresa May has a “Zionist Slave Masters agenda” (http://archive.is/ApU1U / http://archive.is/JZSRY )
• Also commented on a post claiming ISIS was created “by the CIA and Mosad” [sic] (http://archive.li/vZJi7)
• Signed a letter which not only opposed the adoption of the IHRA working definition of antisemitism, but also stated:
• • "Israel is not a democratic state"
  • "Israel is a racist endeavour"
  • Support for "right of return"
  • Support for BDS
  • That Jewish self-determination in the form of a "Jewish homeland" should be denied.
