Antisemites all

Poor old Jeremy. No sooner does he sort out one problem within his party when another one comes along. Now one of his honchos has been castigated for supporting another who is, according to reports, a holocaust denier.

Holocaust denial is the very definition of antisemitism. To attempt to refute the enormous weight of evidence that the Nazis tried very hard to rid the world of Jewry is idiotic, noy only deeply hurtful to the Jewish community, but an affront to anyone who believes in truth. But sections of the Labour Party have seized on this as a new way to displace Corbyn from the leadership. Led by John Mann, a man so right wing and rabidly Zionist it is almost impossible to understand how is a member of the Labour Party at all, they seek to expunge all traces of antisemitism from the ranks of the Labour Party. People who suggest this is simply another way to get rid of Corbyn and his left-of-centre cadre are shouted down as antisemitic.

Well and good, until you realize that what they also want is to expunge any opposition to the ultra-right wing Zionist leadership of the land of Israel. Yesterday a protest was mounted in Gaza against the expropriation of their land by the Israeli ‘settlers’ as Palestinians refer to them. Stone throwing was met with automatic rifle fire; 17 young men were shot dead. That’s how the Israelis operate. They believe they have a literally God-given right to occupy the land, regardless of the fact that 7 million Arabs were already occupying it. Labeling them all terrorists, they feel justified in denying them the human rights they themselves enjoy, corralling them into ever smaller enclaves and shooting them dead should they be so outrageous as to protest the injustices they face every day.

Yet so all-powerful and far-reaching is the Jewish lobby that even mentioning these injustices is deemed ‘antisemitic’. And there’s your injustice, your racism, right there.
