[thread đ§ľ] Iâm pretty sure the deployment of antisemitism allegations against the British left in the period from 2015 onwards will be discussed by historians in the future. And unless history also goes down the sewer, itâll be discussed more objectively than the present. (1/14)
Apart from wading through the distortions & the political game-playing to establish the facts, something else they will surely have to consider is what itâs done to our political culture. I want to explain what I mean by that, because itâs important for the left too. (2/14)
Everything I say is entirely separate from the battle against antisemitism in real life - which is serious & must be combated through political opposition & most importantly, anti-racist education. The tragedy about its weaponisation is how that work has been relegated. (3/14)

Martin Forde, commissioned by Labour to investigate factionalism and racism in the party speaks publicly for the first time about what he calls the party's hierarchy of racism:
"Anti-black racism, islamophobia, isn't taken as seriously as antisemitism"
Martin Forde, commissioned by Labour to investigate factionalism and racism in the party speaks publicly for the first time about what he calls the party's hierarchy of racism:
"Anti-black racism, islamophobia, isn't taken as seriously as antisemitism"
"In his report published in July 2022 Forde made 165 recommendations; he was surprised to have heard almost nothing from the party since"
"The issue of AS - and the belief that Labour under Jeremy Corbyn harboured anti-Jewish racists - dominated the British media for the 4 yrs of Corbyn's leadership. It contributed to his defeat in the 2019 GE but the British media has shown almost no interest in the Forde Report"
@GeorgeMonbiot Seeing as you are now showing some interest but continue to refuse to join the dots many of us did at the time, maybe we can walk you through & help you in your investigation. đ§ľ
For instance, this individual is featured in the documentary. Do you know who she is?

Starmer's self congratulations on the handling of antisemitism within the Labour Party is built on one of the most comprehensive cover ups in modern British politics, and a litany of lies that makes Boris Johnson look like an oracle of truth telling...
the principle lie is that the previous leadership 'interfered' in order to undermine the proper handling of antisemitism complaints. As anyone with the slightest relationship to facts will know, that is not just a lie, it is an Orwellian inversion of the truth...
here's just one of countless examples where the Corbyn leadership was trying to get a hostile, right wing party bureaucracy to act on antisemitism complaints, disclosed long before the EHRC report or even Panorama's widely discredited episode on the topic..
You have sat and watched me suffer all this @ExpertWitness_ aka @DrHorsford for 8 fuckin solid years.

the wrong locations, wrong description of clothing , the wrong Fox pub, all different times of the night, leaving out the vital information leading up to during and after my son went @missingpeople, did not response for 56 hours after all the calls myself and others had made over

The #LabourFiles reveal the depth of internal warfare and dirty tricks that were used by the party instead of being good politicians who are representing the needs of people.
A smear campaign from within Labour removed Corbyn as leader.

Even the mildest forms of dissent are not allowed under Starmer, an incident in London in 2021 shows how he deals with dissent.

The #LabourFiles show how left-wing Labour members were stalked, watched and threated.
Particularly targeted were minority members of the party, the media fed this poisonousness atmosphere which meant #Corbyn had little time for them - something they also used against him.

Corbyn devoted his life to anti-racism but when he becomes leader the media combined to claim he is a racist. It disabled him as a potential PM but these claims were based on lies and distortions.
Starmer, Corbyn's successor, benefited from these allegation.

John Ware claims he declined to sue me because I have a "young family". I'd love to believe such an act of benevolence. But I wonder why, in that case, he has steadfastly refused to answer the sort of questions I've been putting to him for 2 years:
jewishnews.co.uk/opinion-deniedâŚ
jewishnews.co.uk/opinion-deniedâŚ
In the above article Ware laments that his rebuttals have been 'ignored'. I have a similar frustration, beginning more or less when he refused to address my pre-publication questions for this article in 2020:
novaramedia.com/2020/07/22/bbcâŚ
novaramedia.com/2020/07/22/bbcâŚ
In particular, the article revealed that in spite of the BBC's repeated claims that it offered a 'full right of reply' to Labour, aspects of that reply - which spoke directly to key sequences in the programme - were ignored...

Antisemitism went down in Labour under Corbyn and was lower than in the general public, according to all evidence. The three investigations, Chakrabarti, Parliamentary, and EHRC did not contradict that.

Labourâs leaked EHRC Report, the Forde Report, and Al Jazeeraâs recent four part documentary series all confirm that the issue was weaponised against the left. The evidence of factional weaponisation of the issue is now overwhelming.

That means any âcrisisâ was one of perception, not reality. Until that is recognised by our media, who fuelled the âcrisisâ, I would not take that media seriously, nor anyone who still considers themselves âinformedâ by it.

Obviously, as adults, we understand that journalists work for businesses which have editorial agendas, and are not free to just say anything they please.
Journalists have careers, mortgages, commitments. Theyâre not going to jeopardise all that.
Journalists have careers, mortgages, commitments. Theyâre not going to jeopardise all that.
But theyâre now in an unenviable position, the honest ones I mean (if such exotica exist at all). In being required to peddle a narrative that has been wholly discredited, theyâre being required to sacrifice their integrity: their self-respect.
Only the most hardened and cynical will be able to do this without some internal disquiet. The rest must, surely, be horribly aware of what theyâre doing: denying the evidence, not just of their own eyes and ears, but of the eyes and ears of those who read and hear what they say.
A segment in the Al Jazeera Investigations @AJIunit #LabourFiles 'documentary' maliciously and falsely attempts to link a well-known Jew to violent threat on Facebook to disgraced barrister Damian McCarthy.
We set the record straight đ§ľ

Contrary to McCarthy's claim, official records show that since 29 July 2019 he was the owner of Nationwide Employment Lawyers (NEL), not his "stepdad".
We obtained a copy of the dossier that was sent in April 2020 to Howell John, founder and, at that time, a director at NEL.

2 broadcasts have had a huge impact on me over the last year: @AJIunitâs #LabourFiles & the #TrojanHorseAffair. Not because they are perfect in every way or that their content canât be debated, but because they rock the foundations of a corrupt political system & expose silences.
Neither have had any serious mainstream exposure & establishment political commentators (left, centre & right) have found a million reasons to disregard the key issues raised in these programmes by completely ignoring or focusing on minutiae. But actually, they are fundamental.
With the #TrojanHorseAffair, itâs Prevent & the stigmatising of a whole Muslim community. With #LabourFiles, itâs the systematic destruction of a socialist project by the harassment & vilification of grassroots activists. The end result is the same, in that it destroys hope.
Ware has now 'responded' to myself, @OborneTweets and others in the wake of @AJIunit's #LabourFiles

He repeats that an interview with @schneiderhome forms the basis of the âcentral allegationâ made against him. Yet, somewhat incredulously, again avoids any mention of the main thrust of that interview..
which is quite clearly concerned with the way in which his programme appeared to carefully select 2 phrases/10 words from an email by Seumas Milne that was querying Jewish Labour members being âmore than occasionallyâ the subject of disciplinary action over antisemitism...

Antony Lerman is the former founding director of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and has written widely on antisemitism.
He wrote this in response to John Ware's Panorama documentary, which was shown by the BBC shortly before the 2019 election.

Then a few weeks ago Al Jazeera showed a documentary that said the same at Antony but gave more details.
The #LabourFiles documentary was produced by an award winning British mainstream journalist.
Yet it's being ridiculed as 'crankery' by people trying to hide the truth.

It proves that the documentary was factual and that the MSM had been complicit in a one side narrative.

The piece summarises some of the film's findings, especially on the "current of anti-Black racism and Islamophobia in the party under Starmer," and demands:
"Those responsible for wrongdoing must be held to account, and anyone who participated in racist WhatsApp chats must face consequences. Next, the Forde Reportâs recommendations must be implemented in full..."

The programme claims Keir Starmer leads a "lawless" party. From our experience, this is absolutely the case.
Marcia Hutchinson was subjected to abject racism within the Labour Party, more in five years inside the party, than "the rest of my life combined."
