1/ A familiar story: someone appears in my timeline determined to downplay antisemitism in the Labour Party.

He knows lots of left wing people, hardly any of them are racists. It's more a right wing phenomena and here's some cherry-picked stats to prove it.
2/ Futilely, I argue the case, I should know better. Someone with obviously less time to waste than me (H/T @AntiNazisUnited) searches his tweet history.
3/ Rupert Murdoch is a Jew.

Holocaust denial.

Full house. 3/
4/ Another search.

Labour member.

Joined to support Jeremy Corbyn.

@CLPD_Labour fan.

Seen this hundreds times on Twitter and FB in the last three years.
5/ And that's why I'm a "so called centrist" I guess. I don't need any other reasons. Racism is enough. Antisemitism is enough.
6/ PS: If anyone knows who that guy is, please report him to compliance, thanks. The account looks genuine, it's very very unlikely (but not impossible) to be fake.

Final thought on Bastani: clearly bits of original thread are flimsy, one tweet in particular, but if the guy hadn't engaged in activities including, but not limited to, whitewashing a dossier of antisemitic hate-crimes by blaming the media - it wouldn't have mattered.
To put that in perspective: the dossier revealed a Jewish Lab MP had credible threats made against her from a member which had been sat on.

Skwawkbox, whose whitewash Aaron supported - was in the middle of conducting a vile campaign against the SAME Jewish MP on the basis --->
...that she didn't need police protection at Lab conference and no threats made from people associated with Labour.

How sick and depraved is that? When Skwawkbox carried on the campaign against her AFTER they'd read the dossier. Even inferring she deserved deselection.

All the guff thrown at JK Rowling for her ode justifies every syllable. A snake eating its own tail.

Non-Jewish people offended (I'm SO offended) by her so-called "philosemitism" only validates her position

Of course they know better than those isolated, othered Jews, abandoned by the anti-racist movement, doomed to be punished for the Left's irrational hatreds.
If Jews appreciate Rowling's solidarity well... they're being duped, silly Jews. "Why can't you see through her and anyway don't you know there's antisemitism everywhere? Not just on the left. This only serves to undermine the real fight against antisemitism."

Every single pro-Corbyn media outlet that I've come across supports Chris Williamson MP despite the protestations of virtually the entire British Jewish community.

Novara, The Canary, Skwawkbox, Evolve, all of them.

Think about the message that sends out to Jewish people. 1/
Think about how over the past 18 months Jewish people have been screaming about Williamson's ritual goading of British Jews on the issue of antisemitism, in a manner in which no MP, of any party in my living memory, has ever gone to so much effort to do.
Then think about how Jews have been ignored and sometimes derided on this by virtually the entire pro-Corbyn commentariat and then think about how none of them will today acknowledge it.

Some people do really well at fighting antisemitism in a very safe way that challenges few and achieves even less. Let's face it, it's a frightening thing to do not least because of the enormity of the hate directed at Jews.

2/7 The real task though lies in being brave enough to take risks and challenge people who might not thank you for it; friends, colleagues, political associates - even family.
3/7 This doesn't mean risking personal safety, but enabling people to stay inside their comfort zones by only challenging the ideas you know they disagree with isn't an option if we really want to get anywhere.

The @UKLabour / @jeremycorbyn #antisemitism issue shows no signs of abating. Unfortunately, there is even a difference of opinion on why this is, which is why I've been incredibly reluctant to write anything about it. Regardless, here's my perspective: /1
My entire life, I have been opposed to racism and prejudice in any form. This was instilled by my upbringing, personal experiences and natural inclination to defend others facing prejudice. As a teen, I was the one in school who stood up to bullying whenever I saw it happen. /2
I fought my own fights and the fights of people too scared or small to take action. It was a natural instinct. It got me into some trouble, but generally, what I did was appreciated by the victims of the abuse, the parents of the victims, teachers, bouncers and even the police /3

If you're fucking sick of hearing so much about left-wing antisemitism, think how fucking tired its victims are of being on the receiving fucking end of it.
And if you think complaints about left-wing antisemitism are part of some kind of conspiracy to cover up complaints of other kinds of racism or forms of bigotry, guess what, you sound pretty indistinguishable from an antisemite, however "woke" you are.
Absolutely true that antisemitism isn't the only form of bigotry or hypocrisy on the left - various people &/or publications decry some kinds of antisemitism but not others, or are actively transphobic or racist in other ways. That's not an excuse to be same.

I was wondering how far the #antisemitism issue in the Labour Party had moved on in the last few years, so I had a look through the @Gerasite archive
The suggestion that Corbyn himself has always simply been an honest broker, trying to find peace in (a small section of) the Middle East was dismantled by @DavidDPaxton thegerasites.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/the…
Do you remember the original line that nobody had ever encountered any antisemitism in the Labour Party? Owen Jones' tried that one, and a few other things, and @NudderingNudnik pointed him in the right direction thegerasites.wordpress.com/2016/03/16/owe…

#thread on @UKLabour NEC Code Conduct on #Antisemitism showing how opposition to it is wrong. Links from Dr Brian Klug, Moran Mandelbaum, David Feldman, Josh Nathan Kazis on Kenneth Stern, Rhea Wolfson, Jennie Formby and Jo Lansman
Firstly this is the NEC code here. Please read. It covers conspiracy theory antisemitism, the 'socialism of fools' and antisemitism masquerading as criticism of Israel. These are the issues that have crept into Labour from the conspiracy theory fringes. thejc.com/comment/analys…
Jon Lansman @jonlansman states the new code is "Labour’s antisemitism code is the gold standard for political parties .. The new code makes clear that discrimination against Jewish people is unacceptable while allowing for legitimate criticism of Israel " theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

1) Today Whistle-blower #ChristopherWylie appeared in front of #British #MPs.

Did he inadvertently connect the dots on the very strange and developing relationship between the #democrat party and #MuslimBrotherhood?

#QanonPosts #Q #QAnon @POTUS #TheStorm #MAGA #DrainTheSwamp
2) Wylie was testifying about his work for #CambridgeAnalytica and while testifying, he revealed his predecessor was found dead in a hotel room... in #Kenya. Why does that matter?

#Africa #QAnon @POTUS #DrainTheDeepState #CORRUPTION #MurdochMysteries

3) Recall recent #Q post regarding #Kenya.

His predecessor Dan Mursean died mysteriously in Kenyan hotel room in 2012 working for President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election campaign.

Look at #QanonPosts below.

MB = #MuslimBrotherhood.

Something's swirling.
