Number Of Parliamentary Early Day Motions Signed to Commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day & to Condemn Anti-Semitism:

Jeremy Cornyn: 38
Sajid Javid: 0

Don't be misled by Javid.
And yes, I'm a silly cubt who accidentally used an 'n' instead of a 'b'.
And for anyone saying "Sajid Javid is a minister, ministers don't generally sign EDMs" - He was a backbencher for 2yrs 4mths, during which time over 3000 EDMs were produced and he signed...none of them"

[Thread] Based on recent discussions with @SamuelSokol, @TarikCyrilAmar, and @AuschwitzMuseum over the continued debates regarding the "naming" of concentration camps in Poland, I've decided it's time for a thread, b/c this is not about history but the present in Poland.
What has many Poles (and state-run museums) up in arms, is ANY connection of the word "Poland" with Holocaust sites (and more broadly behavior- hence the "correction" above.) They particularly rail against the term "Polish" death or concentration camps. edition.cnn.com/2018/02/01/eur…
The argument is that Poles did not establish or run these camps...which is absolutely correct. But the problem is, no one really thinks Poles built Auschwitz, etc. Sure, there are ignorant people out there or some students, but I defy you to find a scholar making this argument.

So in January of this year @UKLabour's Shadow Secretary of State for Education @AngelaRayner decided to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day by re-posting an article she wrote in 2015 in which she references Norman Finkelstein's "seminal book The Holocaust Industry".....
That's right, a member of @UKLabour's front bench commemorated the Holocaust by referencing a book titled "The Holocaust Industry". The original article can be accessed here: unisonnw.org/inside-the-fac…. Below will outline a bit about the book, the author and its reception in 2000...
The driving thought behind the book essentially argues that American-Jewish groups have exploited collective guilt in order to gain political advantage, deflect criticism of Israel, and to make money out of the genocide.

1/ In the wake of the horrific anti-Jewish terror attack in Pittsburgh & the insistence by many of us that the "anti-globalist" rhetoric of the Trumpist right wing might be stoking this anti-Semitism, some have asked 'why the left doesn't condemn Louis Farrakhan?' as strongly...
2/ It's a predictable pivot and one the right has deployed consistently for over 30 years, ever since Farrakhan became their all purpose bogeyman. It's also marinated in false equivalence, historically contextual ignorance, and supreme bad faith…
3/ Not to mention how truly absurd it is to expect "the left" to call out Farrakhan as if his philosophy were some prototypical example of leftism. As if he were "one of ours," the way Trump is one of theirs, or Alex Jones, etc. Seriously?…

Seems to me that Jeremy Corbyn is probably an unconscious anti-Semite. I'd wager he genuinely doesn't consider himself an anti-Semite, doesn't recognize anti-Semitism when he sees it, and deals in anti-Semitic tropes whose only aspects he comprehends are the anti-capitalist bits.
Cries of "anti-Semitism!" over that video of him are a reach. But what prompts such wariness?

The fact that Corbyn is steeped in a conspiratorial anti-Semitic milieu (Google his brother Piers), defends anti-Semites, & rehabilitates anti-Semites under the guise of "anti-Zionism."
The late Moishe Postone, a brilliant Marxist academic at U. Chicago, wrote much about left anti-Semitism and reactionary anti-imperialism. He noticed the revival of anti-Semitism on the left as a "pseudo-emancipatory anti-capitalism," which is, after all, a very old story.

Cú Chulainn is believed to be an incarnation of the god #Lugh, who is also his father! His mother is the mortal Deichtine, sister of Conchobar mac Nessa, the King of #Ulster who ruled from #NavanFort near #Armagh. #CúChulainn #Irishmyths #Irishlegends #FolkloreThursday
Born Sétanta, Cú Chulainn gained his name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence & offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared! Used a standing stone or by driving a sliotar down its throat with his hurley! #FolkloreThursday
Cathbad the druid announced one day that anyone who drew arms would have everlasting fame! So Cú Chulainn only 7 years old, asked for arms! But Cathbad grieved because he had not finished his prophecy-the warrior who took arms that day would have a short life! #FolkloreThursday

On heels of Trayon White and “fake Jew” controversies, @BrianneKNadeau says she and the mayor are coordinating a May 16 event to learn about Jewish and African American histories. “This will be an opportunity for us to move forward,” she says.
And @ChmnMendelson says a large guided tour of the Holocaust Museum is planned for July. This comes after @TrayonWhite left a guided tour of the Holocaust Museum early, later blaming the presence of a reporter
Now Council is debating whether to proceed with a resolution condemning hate generally, which is opposed by @tweetelissa (the lawmaker who was called a fake Jew).
