Campaign Against Antisemitism

A small town in eastern Germany has banned the installation of new 'Stolpersteine' — the brass memorial plaques laid in pavements to mark the last homes or workplaces of Jews and other victims of the Holocaust. The decision has drawn widespread criticism and accusations of antisemitism and historical amnesia, with campaigners and commentators condemning the town for turning its back on a memorial tradition now found across Europe.

A claim circulating online says the Campaign Against Antisemitism, an organisation described as funded by Israel, routinely labels opposition to Israel's actions in Gaza, including accusations of genocide and apartheid, as antisemitic. The claim, linked to reporting involving the Green Party, is drawing attention among UK political observers debating where criticism of Israel ends and antisemitism begins.
