"Part of me feels the hopelessness of appealing to reason, a sense of swimming against a mighty and unmindful current of opinion... rallying around the IHRA text as if it were the eternal word of God."Move forward 18 months and the headlong rush by all of Labour's candidates for leader to endorse the Board of Deputies 10 pledges for action on anti-semitism, showed the prescience of Klug's warning that appeals for reason would go unheeded.
Two gunmen on a motorcycle, armed with an assault rifle and a hunting rifle, ambushed Mojaddami, IRNA reported. Other Iranian media said the gunmen's faces were covered with masks and that four shots were fired.
The case is under investigation and a motive was not immediately clear, but Basij units had been involved in violent clashes with demonstrators in the area in November in which many protesters were injured and killed.
Mojaddami's killing is seen another blow to the Revolutionary Guard. Mojaddami was described by IRNA as an associate of Soleimani, who was the head of the Quds forces, the foreign wing of the Guard.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the assassination nor has a motive been established.
