Is denying the Jewish people a homeland tantamount to antisemitism or a legitimate political position in an ultimately political issue?

Welcome to London's new and exclusive debate society where the style is formal but the passion unbridled, as we delve into the current and philosophical issues of our age.

The motion for the next meeting is: This House Believes Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism

Dress code: smart attire

Anti-Zionism and antisemitism sit in a tense, emotionally charged space – now more than ever. Many people argue that anti-Zionism often crosses a line: that denying the Jewish right to self-determination, uniquely among the world’s peoples, echoes older patterns of exclusion and hostility. Others counter that anti-Zionism is a critique of nationalism, state formation, or specific government actions, and does not constitute prejudice against the Jewish people.

This event invites you debate this issue in a civilised manner and in good faith, taking the long historical perspective.
During the Q&A you will be able to question the speakers or make a statement.

Tickets include a free drink at The Tea House Theatre – hot, cold, soft, or alcoholic.
