I take your point. Thanks!! The question is how anti-semitism is defined. On many a university campus in the US where there have been many protests regarding Israel's military conduct in Gaza, the White House has deemed to describe that as anti-semitic, whereas here it would be seen as targetting Jewish people and institutions. Two different things to my mind.
The cost wouldn’t plummet, because the product would be taxed; and hopefully a significant proportion of that tax revenue would be used for education, support for families, rehabilitation programs for addicts, etc.
Hopefully not. But there’s a lot of anti Israel sentiment everywhere at the moment, and that can quickly spill over into anti-Semitism. I know they’re not the same thing, but there’s always the potential for unconscious overlap. It can’t be easy being a Jew in the U.K. right now for all sorts of reasons; it’s worth bearing that in mind, even when condemning the Israeli government for their brutality.
