The Evidence
Seven public-record sources on Stand Up To Racism's stance towards pro-Israel groups, antisemitism, and its framing of the Israeli government. Each card links to the original source. Quoted passages will be added as each source is reviewed.
-
Source 1 — Scottish Action Committee against Racism
"Stand Up To Racism Scotland says pro-Israel groups not welcome"
Why this matters: An organisation calling itself Stand Up To Racism declares one national community — the world's only Jewish state and those who support it — unwelcome at its events. An anti-racism that excludes a single ethno-national group is, on the campaign's view, no anti-racism at all.
-
Source 2 — UnHerd
"Is Stand Up To Racism ignoring antisemitism?"
Why this matters: Mainstream UK journalism has put the question in print, on its own front page. The question itself is a public record that, in the campaign's view, SUTR has so far failed to answer.
-
Source 3 — Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign
"Stand Up To Racism tell Friends of Israel they are beyond the pale"
Why this matters: SPSC is itself a pro-Palestine organisation reporting approvingly. The source is cited here as an admission against interest: SUTR's allies confirm in their own words that the exclusion of Friends of Israel groups is a policy, not an accident.
-
Source 4 — The Oxford Student
"The Socialist Workers and Stand Up to Racism are no friends of the left"
oxfordstudent.com · 26 January 2019
Why this matters: A student-press critique from the left, of the political tradition (the SWP) from which SUTR is organised. Cited as evidence that concerns about SUTR's politics are not confined to opponents on the right.
-
Source 5 — UK Government
Independent Review: Political Violence and Disruption — "Protecting our democracy from coercion"
Why this matters: Cited as the policy context: a UK government review of intimidation and political violence directed at protected groups, including the Jewish community in the UK since October 2023.
-
Source 6 — Counterfire
"Stand Up To Racism national demo"
Why this matters: Cited as a record of SUTR's organising activity and political alignment, published in an allied left-wing outlet.
-
Source 7 — Stand Up To Racism (primary source)
"Hosting Tommy Robinson shows link between Israeli government and the international far right"
Why this matters — the central exhibit. Stand Up To Racism's own published headline asserts a structural link between the Israeli government and the international far right. In the campaign's view, framing the democratically elected government of the world's only Jewish state as a driver of the far right — while declining to apply equivalent framings to any other government — is exactly the double standard set out on the thesis page. This source is SUTR speaking for itself.
The sources above are public — we link straight to them so you can read them in their original form. Calling SUTR's conduct antisemitic or racist is the campaign's view, not a statement of fact.
