Jews Against Labour

Dual-loyalties? Mad-Dog Mann and foulmouthed Hodge assail
gentlemen Ken and Jeremy.

BULLIES AND COWARDS
We live in a world,
which is sometimes difficult to understand.
Our collective unconscious is paranoid because truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction. We believe absurd
conspiracy theories because matters of fact sometimes do not make any sense.
Look at this daft
dispute between Jews and the Labour Party (LP).
Jewish members of the party are supposed to be furious about the party’s
interpretation of some words and phrases defining Zionism and
anti-Semitism. The Jews have pointed out
some subtle distinctions or variations from standard interpretations. They have staged publicity stunts to
demonstrate their anger and to humiliate prominent
members of the LP. Their actions could
possibly ruin the party’s chances of winning the next election.
What is going on?
We must remember that the
LP is not a genuine political party. It
is a sort of mock-up, so the whole performance could be just a “put-up
job”. The LP’s role is to enable the
Conservative Party. When voters get sick
of harsh Tory policies, the LP steps in to pacify them and to raise their hopes. After a cooling-off period, which involves
much playacting, they hand the reins-of-government back to the Conservatives. Then the whole rotten cycle starts again.
Is all this conspicuous
wrangling for the benefit of the public?
The commoners might think: “What a carry-on! It’s them Jews against them left-wingers. They’re not fit to rule. They’re making a right show of themselves.”
The row would give the
LP a good excuse for not delivering anything, if they did get elected. They would say: “We couldn’t do anything. Our hands were tied.” Another ten years would have been wasted.
Let us play along with
this pageant. The reason for bothering
is that the Green Party is heading in the same direction. The GP is like last year’s LP. It is likely to make the same mistakes and to
leave itself vulnerable to the same kinds of blackmail and sabotage from the
same self-interest groups.
Here we go.
The Jewish attacks on
the LP are not just disingenuous, they are wilfully dishonest and downright
treacherous. Thuggish MP John Mann’s
ambush of Ken Livingstone in 2016, and Haggish MP Dame Margaret Hodge’s slander
of Jeremy Corbyn were obviously well-rehearsed.
Both assaults achieved maximum publicity. The belligerent Jews accused their mild-mannered
victims of being “Nazi apologists” and “anti-Semites”. Their treachery embarrassed their victims and
the LP.
Mann with a pack of
news-hounds ambushed Livingstone on the street outside a TV studio. Livingstone tried to escape into the
building, but they pursued him inside.
Mann confronted Livingstone and he jabbed his finger in Livingstone’s
face. Livingstone remained calm and professional.
Hodge cowed Jeremy
Corbyn in a Commons corridor in full sight and earshot of everybody. She allegedly told him: “You’re a fucking
anti-Semite and a racist.”
Well, you can take the
woman out of the ghetto ...
Let us take a look at Britain ’s historical involvement in the Middle East , the Haavara
Agreement of 1933, and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
In 1875, Britain became interested in the Middle East region when it bought shares in the Suez
Canal Company. In 1882, British armed forces
defeated an Egyptian nationalist uprising and then occupied Cairo .
In 1914, Britain declared war on the Ottoman Empire,
which controlled much of the Arab lands east of Suez and north or Sinai. Britain
proclaimed a protectorate over Egypt
because it wanted
to defend the Suez Canal .
The Arabs wanted
independence from the Ottomans. The
British promised them their own state, which would stretch from Damascus to the Arabian
peninsular. The British provided supplies, money and
military advisers for the Arab forces.
In 1916, the British made a secret agreement with their French and Russian allies to divide the entire Middle East between them, but the British also wanted
support from prominent Jewish financiers in Europe . Their Balfour Declaration of 1917 supported
the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine .
By 1918, the alliance had defeated the Turks. The Ottoman
Empire conceded the Palestine territories and Transjordan . The British and the French fulfilled their wartime promises to the Arabs by
recognizing the sovereignty of Egypt , Jordan ,
Lebanon , Syria , and Iraq .
In 1923, the League of
Nations gave Britain the
Mandate for administering Palestine . The Balfour Declaration’s “national home for
Jewish people” was to be established as well as an Arab Emirate called Transjordan .
The British split the Palestine mandate into two distinct areas, using the Jordan River as a natural boundary. Jewish immigration would be confined to the
West of the river. The East of the river,
which represented three quarters of the whole mandate area was to be reserved
for the Arabs alone.
Arab and Jewish
terrorist groups started to fight bitterly over Palestine .
The Jewish terrorist groups turned on the British military
establishment. The British could not
control the violence, and in 1947 the United Nations voted to split the land
into two countries.
The British Mandate ended
in 1948, when British forces withdrew. The
Jews declared independence and the surrounding
Arab countries responded immediately by invading the new Israel . The Israelis repulsed the Arab attacks and in
1949 an armistice was drawn up.
In 1956, Egypt
nationalized the Suez Canal,
which was still largely owned by French and British concerns. France ,
Britain and Israel planned a joint campaign against Egypt Israel
would invade Egypt and then France and Britain
The plan went well. The
Israeli army occupied most of the peninsula east of the Suez
Canal and captured thousands of prisoners. The Anglo-French then issued an ultimatum to Cairo ; they proceeded to bomb Egyptian bases and they
landed troops at Port Said
The USA refused
to support the Anglo-French action and the USSR
threatened to support Egypt
The humiliating Suez Crisis marked the end of independent British activity
in the Middle-East.
MANN, LIVINGSTONE, AND THE HAAVARA AGREEMENT OF 1933
Ken Livingstone was
being interviewed on BBC television when he said: “Let's remember when Hitler
won his election in 1932 his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel . He was supporting Zionism – this before he went mad and
ended up killing six million Jews.”
Livingstone was referring to the Haavara Agreement
of 1933, which was a formal contract
signed between the Reich Ministry of Economics, the Zionist Federation of
Germany and the Anglo-Palestine Bank. It helped German Jews to relocate to Palestine
Under
the agreement, Jewish emigrants had to hand over their possessions before they
left Germany Palestine
Livingstone tried to
explain his previous statement: "Don't confuse anti-Semitism with
criticism of the Israeli government policy and treatment of the
Palestinians."
For some reason, Labour
MP John Mann decided to over-react about Livingstone’s comments. He called on his supporters to “fight back
relentlessly against the Jew-haters”.
He then turned on the LP:
“Livingstone and his politics have nothing in common with me or the Labour
Party. I am ashamed of my party and I
apologise to my parents, my grandparents and my great grandparents for what our
party has become.”
He went on: “It was
clear Labour had a problem with anti-Semitism.”
For some reason, Livingstone
was suspended from the LP, but Mann was not satisfied. Mann snarled: “The decision not to expel him
from the party spits in the face of Labour-supporting Jews.”
Livingstone eventually resigned
from the party.
Thousands of people
signed an online petition calling for the party to discipline Mann for his
blatant, gross misconduct, but no action was taken against him. A party spokesman said: "The Chief Whip has made it
absolutely clear to John Mann that it's completely inappropriate for Labour
members of Parliament to be involved in very public rows on the television.”
HODGE, CORBYN, AND THE IHRA DEFINITION
The International
Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) was initiated in 1998 by former
Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson. Its
membership consists of thirty-one member countries, which share a moral
commitment to combat Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism.
Their 2000 Stockholm Declaration states: “With humanity still scarred by …anti-Semitism and xenophobia the international community shares a solemn responsibility to fight those evils”.
The IHRA definition of anti-Semitism states: “Anti-Semitism
is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward
Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations
of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or
their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
The IHRA has published this list of contemporary examples of anti-Semitism
which might occur in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the
religious sphere:
- Calling for,
aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a
radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
- Making
mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about
Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but
not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews
controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
- Accusing Jews
as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed
by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by
non-Jews.
- Denying the
fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide
of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its
supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
- Accusing the
Jews as a people, or
- Accusing Jewish
citizens of being more loyal to
- Denying the
Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that
the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
- Applying double
standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any
other democratic nation.
- Using the
symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism (e.g., claims of
Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize
- Drawing
comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
- Holding Jews collectively responsible
for actions of the state of
Hodge’s slandering
of Corbyn was supposed to have been provoked by the LP’s ruling National Executive
Committee (NEC), which chose its own code of conduct on anti-Semitism. It did not incorporate four of the IHRA’s
working examples; the NEC claimed that those could stifle criticism of Israel .
Those four are:
1) comparing Israeli policies to those of
the Nazis
2) suggesting the creation of the Jewish
state was a racist endeavour
3) accusing Jewish people of being more
loyal to Israel
4) holding Israel
Labour’s new code states that criticism of the state of Israel
Hodge slandered Corbyn
behind the speaker’s chair in the house of commons. She defended her decision to call him a
“racist and anti-Semite”. She said: “You
can carry on saying you are not anti-Semitic but it’s by his actions that he has
to be judged.”
Corbyn replied: “I’m
sorry you feel like that.”
The leader’s office said
that Hodge’s comments and behaviour towards Corbyn were “unacceptable” under
Labour party parliamentary rules for behaviour between colleagues, and
action would be taken over it.
She instructed her lawyers
to challenge the decision and the disciplinary action against her was dropped.
POT AND KETTLE
Ken Livingstone and
Jeremy Corbyn are not anti-Semites. What
Livingstone said about the Nazis and the Jews was more or less true. The Nazis certainly did seem to be supporting
Zionism in 1933. Corbyn cannot be held
solely responsible for his party’s policies.
Both John Mann and Margaret Hodge ought to have been expelled from the
LP. In any other organization, they
would have faced summary dismissal for gross misconduct. Their publicity stunts were
counter-productive. They proved that
Jews do in fact receive preferential treatment.
This is what happens
when a political party tries to please every self-interest group. It opens itself up to all kinds of unjust
criticism and it ends up not pleasing anybody. The Green Party must learn from the LP’s
mistakes. It needs to ditch
multiculturalism, disband all the so-called minority self-interest groups, and offer
equality and fairness to all.
The problem arises
because Britain
has signed-up to all kinds of biased laws involving race, religion, equality, human-rights
etc. Those laws are divisive and elitist
and do not benefit the average ordinary person.
The GP ought to promise to abolish them all.
The Jew/Zionist argument
is hackneyed. Anybody who can be
bothered to summon up the interest will easily understand the difference
between the Palestine
issue and anti-Semitism.
The Haavara Agreement
does not mean that the Nazis were pro-Zionists, but it also does not mean that
they were anti-Zionists.
A dictionary definition of Zionism describes it as: “an international
movement originally for the establishment of a Jewish national or religious
community in Palestine and later for the support
of modern Israel .”
Mann needs to realise
that British people still enjoy some freedom of speech. That is the crux of the matter. Jews like Mann are trying to curtail other
people’s freedom of speech while granting Jews the right to say and do what
they like.
If Mann is ashamed of
his party, he ought to leave it and join the Conservative Party. Why did the police not arrest him for
breaching the peace?
Have all other British
political parties adopted the IHRA definition?
If not, will Hodge be abusing the
leaders of those parties as well?
The IHRA definitions and
examples are flawed. The LP ought to
reject all of it. The LP is right to
choose its own definitions of anti-Semitism, but it ought to be part of a
general statement on racism. All
self-interest groups could sign-up to that.
Hodge wanted sympathy
because she lost relatives in the Holocaust.
Millions of people lost relatives during the Second World War. The Nazis exterminated large numbers of
disabled people, Gypsies and Slavs. Does
the IHRA have anything to say about them?
Hodge abused her
position as an MP. She is well past
retirement age but she continues to cling on to her well-paid job. She ought to clear-off and make room for the
younger generation who are not as gullible as she thinks they are.
Jews who live in Britain clearly
have dual loyalties. Jewish MPs ought to
forget about Israel . They need to concentrate on British politics,
otherwise they will always be accused of having divided loyalties and conflicts
of interest.
The LP leadership needs
to stop behaving so cowardly. It needs
to stand up to the Jews. Mann and Hodge must
not be appeased. They must be kicked out
of the party. The LP ought to send out an
open message to all other Jews: “You are welcome to join the LP, but do not
expect any preferential treatment, extra privileges or special benefits.”
The LP needs to
dissociate itself from the Jewish Labour Movement. Private Members clubs have no place in modern
politics no matter what race, creed or colour they are.
Do Jews have the right to call British
people and their representatives racists?
Any Jew anywhere in the world can become an Israeli citizen. That right is not extended to Gentiles. That means that the creation of the Jewish
state was a racist endeavour.
Jews believe that they
are superior above all other races. They
are the only race of people who have invented their own religion. It asserts that they are God’s chosen people;
they go to heaven and everybody else goes to hell.
The Jews seem to be hypocrites
and the original and biggest racists of all.
WINDUP - ELECTION FEVER 1
Is the Green Party serious about getting elected? It's easy. Just promise to reduce Council Tax bills across the board. The Green Party would win every single seat. Council Tax bills could be reduced by preventing wastage and corruption. More on this in future posts.
