The Palestine Solidarity Campaign is the main perpetrator of anti-Zionism in this country and it's slogan "from the river to the sea" so often used by the far left and their Islamic allies. The PSC were behind the intimidating Palestinian flag waving at the Labour Party conference at the height of the row over anti-Semitism within Labour itself.
The PSC contains some of the worst the British left has to offer which isn't surprising given even they had to expel their former Chair, Dr. Francis Clark-Lowes for Holocaust Denial. From 2009 until this year their Chair was none other than Hugh "passport" Lanning former Deputy general Secretary of the PCS union who obtained the nickname as a result of his continuous jaunts abroad during his tenure.
This year the Annual General Meeting saw a challenge by the rumbustious Tony Greenstein to stand for the post of Secretary but he "sadly" lost by 67 to 103 votes. There were around 250 people in attendance.
Greenstein also moved a motion defending Jenny Tongue the former Liberal Democrat Peer whose tweet insisting the neo-Nazi murder of 11 Jews in Pittsburgh was the result of Israels actions. A pathetic and bigoted remark about a white supremacist who just wanted to kill Jews because well they are Jews. Full stop. Not that Tonge cares one jot in her outpourings which many consider beyond the pale.
One of Greenstein's "supporters" in this election was Gerry Downing of the minuscule Trotskyist groupscule laughably named Socialist Fight. Readers may recall his car crash of interview with Andrew Neil. It nearly made Diane Abbott look intelligent which is quite an achievement.
Downing and his recruit from the Communist Party of Great Britain (Weekly Worker) Ian Donovan who was expelled by them for what the alleged was anti-Semitism in his theory that there is an "International Jewish Bourgeoisie" a formulation very reminiscent of far-right conspiracy theories.
Downing's magazine Socialist Fight has been banned by Houseman's because of "complaints about anti-Semitic content" and even Bookmarks now refuses to stock their rag on the instructions of the Socialist Workers Party leadership.
Downing's support for Greenstein was "critical" due to the fact the rumbustious one had been central to Downing being kicked out of Labour Against the Witch-hunt (a front for the CPGB/WW). The comrades internecine warfare never fails to fascinate.
Both these men and their supporters attack the PSC leadership for "trying to be part of the political establishment" whatever that means. Their target is the Socialist Action group who apparently "control" the PSC which is a major achievement for a group of may around 30-40 people who used to be part of the now defunct International Marxist Group and led by cheerleader for the Chinese CCP, John Ross.
Socialist Action were previously know for their well paid jobs in County Hall when they acted as lieutenants for Ken Livingstone when he was mayor and we all remember why Red Ken is no longer in the Labour Party.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign is nothing more than a front for warring far-left sects and nefarious individuals whose agenda is questionable to say the least.
