Elder Of Ziyon says that there is 'Unbelievable antisemitism in the British Labour Party' - he's wrong, the antisemitism in the British Labour Party is entirely believable

Elder of Ziyon posted this article, which I repeat most of here as I think it deserves wide viewing.

'Unbelievable antisemitism in the British Labour Party, illustrated From The Daily Mail:

The scale of anti-semitism within Labour has prompted training sessions for 1,200 party members in a drive to stamp out the vile online abuse.

Labour's Jewish wing is holding the events that use a slide show of hate-filled messages posted on the internet by the party's own activists.

The Daily Mail has chosen to reproduce the comments despite their shocking content in order to highlight the enormity of the problem.

The abuse includes one Labour member describing Jews as a 'corrupt master race' controlling sex-trafficking, pornography and wars worldwide.

Another wrote: 'Every f****** Jew that died in the Holocaust was a blessing.'

One councillor suggested there was a worldwide Jewish conspiracy and that Israel wanted to commit atrocities across the whole world.

Last night MP John Cryer, who is chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party, said that the tweets were 'stomach-churning' and 'awful'.

'I have no idea why people who hold these views would want to be a member of the Labour Party,' he said.
'The Labour Party has been at the forefront of confronting Nazism right from the 1930s – so what possesses these people to become members I don't understand. I have seen tweets like this at our disciplinary body and what I know is these people are quickly suspended and expelled.'

The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) held a training session at September's Labour conference – itself blighted by accusations of anti-semitism – in a doomed attempt to nip the problem in the bud. Some 1,200 members have attended the official Labour Party sessions, which are carried out by the JLM, in the past 14 months.

Slides from the event obtained by the Mail – which were not leaked by the JLM – show party members have had to be told anti-semitism means 'making mendacious, dehumanising, demonising or stereotypical allegations against Jews as such or the power of Jews as a collective'.

Members were told this includes commenting on the 'myth of a world Jewish conspiracy', 'Jews controlling the media' or 'holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel'.

They were shown examples of anti-semitic abuse hurled at JLM chairman Luciana Berger on Twitter, and JLM member Rhea Wolfson.

The event said that among elected Labour representatives 'denial of anti-semitism is particularly common', as was the idea that 'Jewish people are wealthy or interested in wealth or finance'.

...

Another message from an unknown Labour councillor contained 'echoes of the blood libel', the JLM events are told.

The tweet showed an Israeli flag dripping with blood along with the words: 'The genocidal murderers of innocent women and children: Moses must be proud of you.' The message was headlined: 'Israel is evil, long live Palestine.'

A Scottish Labour member shared a Holocaust denial cartoon, showing a Jewish stereotype withdrawing cash from a Holocaust memorial.

A councillor shared a picture saying: 'The modern state of Israel was created by the Rothschilds, not God – and what they are doing to the Palestinian people now is exactly what they intend for the whole world.'

Alongside a picture of a child in a hospital bed, it said: 'Today it's a Palestinian child: soon it will be your child.'

...

And another Labour member simply tweeted: 'Every f****** Jew that died in the Holocaust was a blessing. Imagine how bad the world would be now if 6 million more of them had survived?' Accompanying notes to the slides make the point that Labour members often end up sharing comments from the far-Right because they agree with their comments on Israel.

'Labour people often end up tweeting proper Nazis either by ignorance or because they fall for their posts on Israel/Palestine. Holocaust denial and revisionism now also being seen on the Left,' it said.

The notes also said that 'denial of anti-semitism is known as the Livingstone formulation' in a reference to comments by former London mayor Ken Livingstone in which he said that anyone critical of Israel was accused of anti-semitism.'

Don't expect any coverage of this on the institutionally anti Israel BBC who act as the propaganda arm of the Labour Party rather than reporting news impartially.

I wonder what Jeremy Corbyn really thinks of these anti Semitic comments, bearing in mind that he openly appears on platforms with antisemites and calls the Islamist terrorists of Hezbollah 'friends', friends who openly want to kill all Jews?
