BREAKING: The “BDS bill” just had its first reading in UK Parliament. The bill would ban public bodies from making ethical investment decisions, and explicitly excludes Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories from any possible exemptions. 🧵 https://t.co/c90JyihRmR
U.K. government to present their anti-BDS bill, which stops public bodies from engaging in boycott against Israel, in the next hour to the House of Commons. My report for @haaretzcom

As part of our responsibility to work towards multi-racial solidarity and collective liberation, progressives and the left must approach all racisms and prejudices with a commitment to ongoing education, solidarity and resistance.
While it is true that Ken Loach has made remarks and undertaken actions that are very distressing to Jewish people, Jamie Driscoll’s decision to share a panel with him in 2021 does not render him antisemitic, nor should it be cause for barring him from standing for election.
Yet the notion of ‘guilt by association’ as justification for barring from standing in elections is unhelpful, in particular because it’s not applied consistently. It has the hallmarks of ‘instrumentalising’ antisemitism for political ends which is divisive & counterproductive.
