The Jewdas activist invited to give antisemitism training to Labour Party members attempted to draw a comparison between the Holocaust and Prime Minister Theresa May's so-called 'hostile environment' policy towards migrants.
Speaking to the Dulwich and West Norwood Labour branch last Thursday, Annie Cohen said: "Nothing frustrates me more, hearing people like Theresa May and Eric Pickles standing on Holocaust Memorial Day... while literally creating a hostile environment for migrants in this country now."
She also said support for the state of Israel could create a blindspot for the root causes of Jew-hate, saying: "Part of this relation of antisemitism to the state of Israel is that, as long as you support the state of Israel, you are not antisemitic. You are doing the right thing.
"You don't have to address those historic issues, the underlying antisemitism that still exists, but also the attitudes that led to the Holocaust and ultimately affect migrants in this country."
