Marget Hodge's chosen law firm to fight Labour's investigation of her allegedly abusive attack on Corbyn has long standing links to the state of Israel. Check our reporting on the Israeli cases Mishcon de Reya has taken on in the UK: electronicintifada.net/tags/mishcon-d…
Margaret Hodge's law firm Mishcon de Reya has in the past:

* Wanted to get an injuction to shut down Palestine solidarity protests against Ahava, Israeli cosmetics store that once peddled stolen Palestinian natural resources.
Margaret Hodge's law firm Mishcon de Reya has in the past:

* Acted for the Israeli embassy and notorious war criminal Ariel Sharon in a PCC complaint against an unflattering Independent cartoon
Margaret Hodge's law firm Mishcon de Reya has in the past:

* Acted for Israeli colonel Moty Cristal, who tried (and failed) to sue the NHS and Unison to compel them to let him run a "training" seminar.
Finally, and most importantly, Margaret Hodge's law firm Mishcon de Reya was the firm of choice for the Jewish Leadership Council and other anti-Palestinian groups that attacked the @ucu in its utterly failed attempt to sue it for "institutional anti-Semitism"
The good news is that every single one of these anti-Palestinian "lawfare" attacks failed. They either lost in court, or failed to materialise entirely.

The judge in the UCU case ruled it "an impermissable attempt to acheive a political end by litigious means."

For Israel to exist it was necessary for the Zionist militias to expel more than 750,000 Palestinians for the crime of not being Jewish. If that's not a "racist endeavour," then the term means nothing.
The Zionist movement, led by the so-called "labor Zionists," understood this very well and had planned the ethnic cleansing for decades before it took place in 1947-49. They euphenistically called it "transfer".
You can read all about this in Palestinian scholar Nur Masalha's seminal book "Expulsion of the Palestinians: The Concept of 'Transfer' in Zionist Political Thought, 1882-1948". The Nakba was no accident of history.

Anti-Zionist and Jewish Holocaust survivor Hajo Meyer in his last ever in 2014: "If we want to stay really human beings, we must get up and call the Zionists what they are: Nazi criminals" electronicintifada.net/blogs/adri-nie…
It's not language I would personally use. But you can't reasonably claim it's anti-Semitic for a Jewish survivor of the Nazi death camps at Auschwitz to find parrallels between Palestinian oppression and his oppression.
Hajo Meyer was a moral giant with more integrety in his little finger than a million lilly-livered "pro-Corbyn" blue ticks throwing yet another left-wing Labour member under the bus while they appear on Newsnight.

A warning to Labour activists on what to expect to happen next in the Labour “anti-Semitism crisis” witch hunt. Plus how this sabotage can be defeated.

A thread 👇🏻
Something the right & pro-Israel groups are going to try at some point -probably as a final resort - is to manufacture what they’ll claim is an “exodus of Jewish members” from Labour.
Expect a group of high profile right-wing and/or pro-Israel MPs, councillors or members to resign from Labour in protest. Don’t fall for this.

Today, #Israel eliminated a number of #Hezbollah attack tunnels in Op. #NorthernShield. The tunnels were devised for one purpose & one purpose only - to infiltrate Israel to commit acts of terror.

Here is a brief refresher about this #Iran-backed terror group ⤵️
1. Founded in 1985, make no mistake about it, #Hezbollah is a genocidal jihadist terrorist organisation, created, funded and instructed at the behest of the Iranian regime. #NorthernShield
2. #Hezbollah’s primary goal is not only the elimination of the State of Israel, but Jews worldwide.

Just read Hezbollah’s ‘Manifesto’, which clearly states: “Our struggle will end only when this entity [Israel] is obliterated.”

1. Today Jews have been slaughtered just for being of the Jewish faith. When u slander Jews endlessly. When you smear Jews and lie about the Jewish State of #israel ad nauseam please reflect on this. Many on @Twitter are guilty of just that. @twitter seems often to ignore
2. I don’t know why @Twitter seem to often let people on here abuse Jews and the Jewish State, allowing such vile vicious racist behaviour. I don’t understand their violations policy but it certainly seems skewed.
3. Some may think words have no consequences. I tell you now. THEY DO. @Twitter. The jewhate racism that you allow on your platform has consequences. Think about that.

In the stories over the weekend about Corbyn's interview on Press TV there has been much focus on both his "hand of Israel" conspiracy comments & his fawning over a convicted Hamas terrorist responsible for multiple murders.
But what about his host - Lauren Booth?
Some of us are familiar with her, but some are perhaps not.
What is clear is that she is a committed and longstanding antisemite.
Corbyn has long standing links to her: an open antisemite.

So i thought i'd post a few examples of her beliefs.

1/21 From the very beginning #Israel planned to usurp #Palestine
#OsloPeace didn't manage to dismantle a single Settlement,to the contrary, #Israel started taking more #Palestinian Land
During the 7 yrs following #Oslo,the Settler Population within the #WestBank increased by 90%
2/21 Following Intl pressure to stop Settlements #Israel began new tactics,under the pretext of natural growth,they expanded & fattened,the existing settlements & connected them to each other & to Israel
Slicing the land blocking any possibility of a contiguous #Palestinian State
3/21 #Israeli Settlements along with their Road Network & Security Zones, occupy about 42% of Palestinian Land.
Roads btw Settlements can only be traveled by Settlers,the basic Human Right of Freedom of Movement within ones Home Country has been taken away from the #Palestinians
