Reply To: Zionism and anti semitism

Here’s a transcript of what she said. At about 7.36 John Humphries asks her if she thinks it’s the case that the Labour Party is not taking antisemitism in its ranks seriously.

MacDonagh: I’m not sure that some people in the Labour Party can because it is very much part of their politics, of hard left politics, to be against capitalists and to see Jewish people as finances of capital, ergo you are anti Jewish people.

Humphries: In other words, to be anticapitalist you have to be antisemitic?

MacDonagh: Yes. [pause] Not everybody but there’s a certain stand of it.
