Anger at UK media for framing cancellation of school visit by pro-Israel MP as antisemitic
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/anger-uk-media-framing-after-school-cancels-visit-pro-israel-mp-damien-egan(www.middleeasteye.net)A school in the UK is at the center of a media controversy after canceling a visit by MP Damien Egan. The cancellation was prompted by pro-Palestine activists and a teacher's union who objected to Egan's support for Israel, including his role as vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel. The article highlights how several major news outlets framed the incident as antisemitic by focusing on the MP's Jewish identity. This framing is criticized as it ignores the political and policy-based reasons for the opposition, which were centered on his stance regarding the conflict in Gaza.
