.@uklabour 1/9 JVL member spotlight: getting to know JVL member Justin Schlosberg. He’s a senior lecturer of journalism and media at Birkbeck University.
And he has things in common with Chris Williamson...
And he has things in common with Chris Williamson...
2/9 Schlosberg fully supports and promotes JVL’s position of defending Labour MP Chris Williamson, who was recently boycotted by some Labour organisations because of his notoriously antisemitic activities. (More on Williamson here jewknowblog.wordpress.com/2018/12/03/cor…)
3/9 Schlosberg blames Labour’s antisemitism crisis on the ‘right wing jewish lobby.’ He accuses Jews of maliciously fabricating antisemitism claims for a political conspiracy. H/t @AdamWagner1
4/9 Justin Schlosberg also defended the publicly documented Holocaust revision of JVL leader Jonathan Rosenhead, calling it ‘legitimate opinion’
5/9 Schlosberg wrote a report to support his conspiratorial worldview. It denied Labour antisemitism and claimed it was a political conspiracy involving the MSM.
6/9 Schlosberg claimed the report was academic, even though it wasn’t peer-reviewed, possibly because it would have been a laughing stock. The report was Birkbeck University branded, but they quickly distanced themselves when they discovered their name on this toxic report
7/9 Given Schlosberg’s and JVL’s warped conspiracies about Labour antisemitism, the report he created was always going to be farcical. It’s just propaganda using pre-conceived conclusions. Which is why it’s no coincidence the conclusions match his own views
8/9 The report was then fawned over by Corbyn’s cheerleaders such as Skwawkbox, the antisemitic outlet IPSO labelled fake news. The report was created to legitimise the denial of antisemitism while using racist stereotypes for Corbyn’s core audience
9/9 Like Chris Williamson, Schlosberg and JVL are specialists in denying antisemitism while simultaneously whipping up animosity against Jewish people. These are @jeremycorbyn’s ‘good people’.
