Dear John,<\/p>\n
On 6 November, I published an open letter<\/a> to you, prompted by your performance in the “Perspectives on Israel”<\/a> debate, in which you claimed that the charge of antisemitism against elements in the anti-Israel movement was part of a disinformation campaign by Jews to silence critics of Israel.<\/p>\n To prove you wrong I turned to your right-hand man Neil Scott, the secretary of your new \u2018Palestinian Solidarity’ group, serial harasser of Jewish community members and spreader of general vileness on Twitter. Instantly recognizing the foul tropes Scott was using I visited the most infamous of all White Supremacist websites – the Daily Stormer – and compared a collection of his tweets to ideas expressed by genuine neo-Nazis.<\/p>\n They were identical.<\/p>\n
