David Clark, former Labour governmental advisor has the following to say in the wake of the Ken Livingston affair.
Real anti-semitism is a serious and growing problem, and there is a need for political consensus about how to tackle it. But debate is poisoned and consensus becomes difficult when allegations of anti-semitism are bandied about for reasons that have nothing to do with fighting racism. An inquiry that wants to confront anti-semitism should also confront those who cheapen the term through reckless misuse.I doubt the likes of Charles Johnson and Pamela Gellar Oshry would even begin to understand what he's saying.
