The largest BDS organization in Europe, the "Solidarity Campaign with the Palestinians" (PSC) operating in the UK, has been engaged in a public fight in the "Century Deal" as part of its new plan to promote its activities to negate the existence of the State of Israel. A decision was made at the organization's annual conference, held last week in London under heavy secrecy.

The PSC conference was held in the shadow of the historic defeat of the Labor party in the last UK general election. Jeremy Corbyn, who still heads the party, is one of the patrons of the "Solidarity Campaign with the Palestinians." Due to the severe defeat of Labor and Corbin's status and supporters in the party ranks, the anti-Israeli organization was required to recalculate. The annual conference program and its speakers were kept in complete secrecy.

Despite these efforts, information leaked out of the organization's action strategy for the coming year and internal tensions in the organization's ranks in light of the political hardship it is facing. "We all know how difficult this past year has been," the chairman of the organization, Kamal Hawash, said at the conference. "We don't live in a parallel universe."

Century Plan: "The Issue of Sovereignty Will Settle with the Government"

"Johnson's Government Will Be Most Israeli Pro"

Hawash, known for his ties to Hamas, stressed that the PSC is committed to restructuring at the strategic level. His remarks also followed a series of discriminations suffered by the organization in Britain over the past year, including the new Johnson government's commitment to fight BDS, court losses and revealing its ties to the Hamas terrorist organization and its anti-Semitic character in reports of "terrorists in suits" and "behind the mask," published by the ministry. Strategic in the Israeli government.

"Like you, I am also learning to come to terms with the consequences of the election results," PSC CEO Ben Jamal wrote to supporters of the organization before the annual conference call after the election results in the UK became known. "Boris Johnson's government promises to be highly pro-Israeli To pass primary legislation that would prohibit public entities from supporting the boycott, attracting investment and imposing sanctions on Israel. Join us for the next step in our fight. "

From the copy of the event plan, the core issues of the "next step in the struggle" rise in line with policy developments and discourse on the link between anti-Semitism and Israel's hatred: President Trump's "century deal", rejection of two-state solution, opposition to IHRA's international anti-Semitism definition, which recognizes anti-Semitic aspects Zionism as anti-Semitic, and the claim that "Zionism is racism". The issue of anti-Semitism on the left is of concern to the PSC, especially given the growing recognition of IHRA by countries around the world and Europe in particular.

The House of Lords in anti-Semitic posts

Last September, the Ministry of Strategic Issues published its Behind the Mask report, which presents dozens of evidence of anti-Semitic statements and publications by the legitimacy organizations and the PSC starred in the report. For example, a branch of the organization tweeted an anti-Semitic cartoon of a demon-wearing, domed Jew scattering pomegranates instead of seeds, and the caption reads "Sowing the Promised Land."

An excellent report also included Baroness Jenny Tong, a British Lordship member who was formerly a PSC senior. In April 2019, she shared an article claiming that IDF troops injured 27 Palestinians, adding: "All this to celebrate Passover ? ". Recently, Tong even blamed "the pro-Israeli lobby" for Labor's loss in the last UK election. The statement has created a public outcry in Britain and has been criticized and criticized for anti-Semitism.
