David Hirsh Algemeiner top 100
We are delighted that on 19th September 2017 David Hirsh, the writer and presenter of the film Whitewashed, joined Ollie Anisfeld, J-TV, on the Algemeiner top 100 list.
David Hirsh, Professor, Goldsmiths College, University of London.
Among anti-BDS activists, Britain’s David Hirsh particularly stands out for giving a name to one of the most insidious forms of modern antisemitism: the “Livingstone Formulation,” named for frequent practitioner Ken Livingstone, the former mayor of London.
The phrase describes a rhetorical sleight of hand in which anti-Israel activists claim they are being attacked in bad faith as a result of their criticism of Israel, then make the antisemitic charge that the attack is “part of a common secret plan to silence such ‘criticism.’”
Founder of the anti-BDS group Engage, Hirsh most recently wrote and narrated the documentary "Whitewashed," on antisemitism in the Labour party.
Hirsh’s latest book, "Contemporary Left Antisemitism,” was published in August 2017."
