Prevent re-admittance of prominent offenders Walker, Wadsworth, Livingstone, Williamson etc. (i.e. socialists) Provide no platform for those who have been suspended or expelled for antisemitism Most are not expelled for antisemitism but for 'conduct grossly prejudicial'. That's why demand 5 says 'in the wake of antisemitic incidents'. Merely associating with those witch-hunted will result in further witch-hunting. The full adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism “with all its examples and clauses and without any caveats” To deliver anti-racism education programmes that have been approved by the Jewish Labour Movement, which would lead training People will be forced to accept that antizionism is the same as antisemitism. To engage with the Jewish community via its “main representative groups and not through fringe organisations” such as Jewish Voice for Labour Engagement with the 'wrong kind of Jews' is not to be permitted. To replace “bland, generic statements” on anti-Jewish racism with “condemnation of specific harmful behaviours” For the Labour leader to take personal responsibility for ending the “antisemitism crisis” The BoD can use 'antisemitism' to attack the leader of the party at any time and for any reason (e'g., blaming the IDF rather than Hamas for Gazan children shot in the back)
