A Haringey councillor has asked Tottenham Constituency Labour Party to drop a clause stating that the group should adopt "a zero-tolerance position" on antisemitism.
Noah Tucker's amendment to a motion on Jew-hate also proposed that the CLP should remove the claim that when antisemitism claims are not handled properly, it “leads to a perception of complacency and collusion with antisemitism that is not without foundation”.
Last year, Cllr Tucker said former "Jew-baiter" MP Chris Williamson had been punished by the party “for the crime of speaking of the truth” after the former MP said Labour had been “too apologetic” over antisemitism.
The amendment also said that the party’s disciplinary process should not be outsourced to an independent body – one of the Board of Deputies’ ten pledges for Labour leadership candidates.
