The Racism of SUTR
A grassroots campaign. We think Stand Up To Racism has a problem with antisemitism — and that an "anti-racism" that excludes Jews isn't anti-racism. Here's why.
An organisation calling itself Stand Up To Racism cannot exclude pro-Israel groups, publish material framing Israel as a driver of the international far right, and still be credible as anti-racists. That's the case this campaign exists to make.
The argument, in short
Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) is a UK anti-racism front group, closely associated with the Socialist Workers Party. In recent years it has:
- excluded pro-Israel and Friends of Israel groups from its coalitions and demonstrations;
- published material framing the Israeli government as a structural ally of the international far right;
- been the subject of repeated journalism asking whether it is willing to address antisemitism within its own movement.

Where we stand
Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is racism. The argument is on the thesis page.
