“This has the effect, paradoxically, and despite all the noise around the issue, of making Jews – the real individuals caught in the cross-fire, that is – feel that they count even less than they did at the start. As, for example, a progressive Jew who might support the attempt to rid the Labour Party of antisemitic elements, it makes you feel like your reality doesn’t figure in this fight at all. It makes you feel, in fact, like the people that are being fought about aren’t you at all.”
