Labour Support for Israel in Camden
Camden has a problem with Labour Zionism. Key individuals in the local Labour leadership are strong supporters of Israel, despite all we know about the state, while the membership of the Labour Party and the unions support boycotting Israel.

The Jewish Labour Movement – for the expulsion of Palestinians
The first objective of the Jewish Labour Movement, as stated in its publicity, is “To maintain and promote Labour or Socialist Zionism as the movement for self-determination of the Jewish people within the state of Israel” with complete disregard for the original inhabitants and supports the expulsion of original inhabitants, the Palestinian people, to Gaza and surrounding countries.
The Jewish Labour Movement is a important body at the heart of Camden Labour. We have seen that the Leader of Camden Council is aMember. Now we have two officers of the The Jewish Labour Movement on Camden Council.

Labour Party Conference calls for sanctions against Israel
The Labour Party at its Annual Conference in 2021 condemned the ongoing Nakba in Palestine, accused Israel of practicing the crime of apartheid and called for sanctions against Israel.
The vote was carried overwhelmingly by membership and affiliated trade unions at the conference
The media people around Starmer interrupted the live feed of this debate on BBC at the conference to prevent the country seeing the support for Palestine in the Party.
