Atzmon and the SWP

Bob from Brockley provides a useful chronology of the relationship between Gilad Atzmon and the Socialist Workers Party.

The bottom line: the SWP continued its association with Atzmon for years after it became obvious even to some of its own members and supporters that Atzmon is a raging antisemite.

It’s worth reading this official SWP defense of Atzmon (recovered from the SWP’s dustbin through the magic of archive.org) to understand how willfully blind the party’s leadership was to the most vicious sort of Jew-hatred.
