According to Asa Winstanley:
- A second staffer recruited under Formby specifically to work on anti-Semitism was Patrick Smith. Smith is a former organizer with the Alliance for Workers Liberty – a small Trotskyist sect particularly controversial on the British left due to its support for Zionism and Israel. Smith quit the group in 2013, but still toed their line, describing Palestine Solidarity Campaign activists as “essentially mad.”
The report spins this history, claiming instead that Smith was “hired specifically because of his knowledge of anti-Semitism and the forms it takes on the left.” Smith had been a member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, but he left the organization in 2008,” over alleged anti-Semitism, the report asserts.[1]
