Talk:Campaign Against Antisemitism/Archive 1

There is an article about the Campaign Against Antisemitism on Powerbase [http://powerbase.info/index.php/Campaign_Against_Antisemitism_UK here]. Powerbase also has an article on the Campaign's chairman, Gideon Falter, and spokesman, Jonathan Sacerdoti, [http://powerbase.info/index.php/Gideon_Falter here] and [http://powerbase.info/index.php/Jonathan_Sacerdoti here]. Falter was at the centre of the prosecution of Foreign Office diplomat Rowan Laxton (the "Ranting Diplomat") for comments Falter and one other alleged he had made in a gym while watching a news report about the killing of a farmer in Gaza. Later, at a Crown Court appeal, a judge and two magistrates decided that Laxton had not made the comment on which the prosectution relied.[http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/29826/foreign-office-man-wins-appeal-against-race-abuse-claim][http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=2803][https://denryblog.com/2009/10/18/4/] According to [https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/hilary-aked/bbc-finally-admits-bias-over-pro-israel-commentator this] Electronic Intifada article, the BBC Trust determined that the way Sacerdoti had been used in the reporting of Operation Pillar of Cloud in 2012 had breached BBC impartiality guidelines (other articles by the same author are [http://www.newleftproject.org/index.php/site/article_comments/who_is_jonathan_sacerdoti_the_bbcs_go_to_man_on_gaza here] and [http://www.newleftproject.org/index.php/site/article_comments/former_zionist_federation_official_on_the_run here]). The breach related to the failure to make clear Sacerdoti's activism on behalf of Israel ("... the interviewee was introduced without sufficient context. The BBC had not made clear to the audience that the interviewee was associated with a particular viewpoint and this had resulted in a breach of Impartiality guideline 4.4.14."[http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/assets/files/pdf/appeals/esc_bulletins/2013/dec.pdf]).

JzG has repeatedly removed the abovee text. I think the grounds stated on my talkpage for doing so are spurious, including the claim that the text breaches WP:NOTFORUM. I also think that the text continues to be useful, at least to me and hopefully for other editors.     ←   ZScarpia   12:25, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
