The chairman of the Campaign Against Antisemitism has called on the chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council to “apologise or resign” after posting what he described as an “ill-advised attack” on his organisation.
Simon Johnson had used his weekly video blog to openly criticised a survey of British Jews carried out on behalf of the CAA – but the clip was taken down on Monday after complaints from Gideon Falter.
But on Wednesday, Mr Falter, the CAA chairman, hit out at Mr Johnson again after the JLC insisted it stood by its criticism of the survey despite the decision to take down the video.
In a statement to the JC, Mr Falter said: “We did all that we could to resolve the matter diplomatically and they deleted the video, which had backfired badly, on Monday.
