The Euston Manifesto is a declaration published in 2006 by a group of British intellectuals who regarded themselves as "out of tune with the dominant anti-war discourse" in the wake of the Iraq War.[1] The manifesto called for a "reconfiguration of progressive opinion" that would draw a line "between the forces of the Left that remain true to its authentic values, and currents that have lately shown themselves rather too flexible about these values." The latter group included those "for whom the entire progressive-democratic agenda has been subordinated to a blanket and simplistic "anti-imperialism" and/or hostility to the current US administration." The manifesto was also notable for its equation of anti-Zionism with a concealed form of anti-semitism.[2]
