Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) is a United Kingdom non-governmental organisation formed in August 2014 by members of the Anglo-Jewish community during a major Israeli offensive against Gaza.[1] It was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) on 1 October 2015.[2]
The CAA is chaired by Gideon Falter, who is also a board member of the Jewish National Fund which has a long history of supporting ethnic cleansing in Palestine. The aim of the CAA is to paint Palestine solidarity campaigning and opposition to Zionism as antisemitic. Its preferred McCarthyite tactic appears to be to target left-wing political activists, Corbyn supporters and journalists who are critical of Israel by abusing and smearing them with unsubstantiated allegations.[3][4][5]
Prime Minister Theresa May has praised the CAA for its work,[6] and former Communities Secretary Sir Eric Pickles published an official statement in January 2015 welcoming the CAA's report on antisemitism.[7]

| Document:The EHRC’s report into Labour antisemitism is the real ‘political interference’ | blog post | 7 November 2020 | Jonathan Cook | It is instructive to compare the certainty with which the EHRC treats Councillor Pam Bromley’s ambiguous remarks as irrefutable proof of antisemitism in Labour with its complete disregard for unmistakably antisemitic comments from Boris Johnson, the man actually running the country. That lack of concern is shared, of course, by the establishment media and Jewish leadership organisations. |
| Document:The shortcomings of the EHRC Report | Statement | 6 November 2020 | Jewish Voice for Labour | There are just 12 mentions of Jeremy Corbyn in the EHRC report, of which only two concern actions taken by him. It is reprehensible not to distinguish between actions taken by individuals supportive of Corbyn and those taken by people hostile to him – such an omission leads to the impression that all failings were Corbyn’s responsibility. |

What it is unlikely to do in my view is derail the Corbyn McDonnell project - it's just a bump in that particular road." |
