A detailed explanation followed.
On April 8, Haaretz headlined "British Jewry in turmoil after tribunal blasts pro-Israeli activist for bringing harassment case."
Ruling on Fraser's case "was meant to be culmination of 11 years of pro-Israel activism, but ruling that 'attachment to Israel".is not intrinsically a part of Jewishness' has caused shock waves in the Jewish community."
Fraser's suit had considerable financial backing. Organizations involved have links to "the central British Jewry leadership forums, the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council.
Fraser's case included 10 complaints. At issue was alleged "institutional anti-Semitism."
UCU is identified with anti-Israeli activism. It supports boycotts, divestment and sanctions. Anti-Semitism charges don't wash. UCU justifiably denied them. Its Jewish members aren't harassed.
Fraser's allegations were ill-conceived. They're illogical and unfounded.
He falsely believes Jews universally identify with Israel. When an organization they belong to levies charges they consider unfair, it constitutes a direct attack on them.
Not so. Zionism and anti-Semitism are distinctive. Conflating them doesn't wash. It's a canard. It's a scheme to divide Jews into good and bad categories.
