.@uklabour 1/17 JVL member spotlight: getting to know Steve Tiller, Hackney South CLP, non-Jewish JVL member.
Tiller directed a play for fellow JVL member Jackie Walker, which cast her as the victim following her antisemitic comments

2/17 Tiller signed a petition to defend antisemite David Watson. He also commented too, using a term intended to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the proceedings.
3/17 Who was he defending? More about David Watson...
- compares jews to Nazis
- defends other antisemites
- posts antisemitic theories about Israel running Isis
- posts articles from well known racist far right websites and other antisemitic websites hurryupharry.org/2016/04/27/mee…

- connected paedophilia with Judaism
Watson was also defended by many other JVL leaders and members on that same petition

5/17 Steve Tiller was in ‘Palestine Live’, the antisemitic private Facebook group run by non-Jewish JVL member Elleanne Green. A reminder about Green:
- shouted ‘free palestine’ at a Jewish author leaving a theatre
- made 100s of antisemitic posts
- shouted ‘free palestine’ at a Jewish author leaving a theatre
- made 100s of antisemitic posts

- minimised the Holocaust, saying ‘never ever forget there was not only one holocaust.’
- protested outside the Holocaust museum

7/17 Back to Tiller:
His posts in Palestine Live are responding to and dotted around other antisemitic comments by antisemites such as Elleanne Green and Holocaust deniers like Paul Eisen and Sandra Watfa. It’s no exaggeration to say Palestine Live was a cesspit of antisemitism

8/17 When a story was posted about JEWISH families leaving Britain because of safety fears due to antisemitism, the reaction was mockery and joy that the country would be free of ‘zionists’. Note self-professed Holocaust denier Paul Eisen also joining in
9/17 Also note the comment ‘join the human race or suffer the deadly consequences’
Steve Tiller’s contribution? To use the situation to mock the Jewish family for not moving to Israel. He then invokes the Holocaust to claim most Jews feel no connection to Israel.

10/17 Here is Tiller invoking the Holocaust again, regarding an alleged human rights violation by Israel. He then has a nice chat with Holocaust denier Sandra Watfa, and insists Israel should apologise to Germany for acting just like Nazis.
11/17 Steve Tiller talks about a ‘Holocaust industry denier’. In his mind it’s a fact that the Holocaust is exploited for financial and political gain. He adds the word ‘denial’ to give it equivalent billing with Holocaust denial. The ‘Holocaust industry’ is a reference to...
12/17 a book by disgraced academic Norman Finkelstein, who has never written an academic paper, instead preferring to write books popular with neo-Nazis and white supremacists
Don’t forget to go back and look at the comment underneath Tiller’s. This is Palestine Live after all

13/17 Still on the same thread as earlier, someone posts an article from a notorious antisemitic conspiracy theory website which turns a suicide into a conspiracy. Steve Tiller is more direct, blaming a plot by Israel. Again, look at the comment below his: ‘Holocaust story’.
14/17 Another user in Palestine Live begins to panic about being prosecuted when the BBC talk about racist social media users being banned like sex offenders. He is reassured by Steve Tiller that there’s no way they can prosecute all the ‘anti-zionists’.
15/17 Steve Tiller invokes the Holocaust to demonise Jews, and substitutes ‘Jews’ for ‘zionists’ in a transparent attempt to cover his tracks. He happily interacts with hardcore antisemites and Holocaust deniers, and has no problem with their hate speech.
16/17 The screenshots shown are absolutely normal discourse for Palestine Live. This is what the group was about. This is why it was a private group. @jeremycorbyn was an active member, reading and commenting. He is friends with members, such as the racist admin, Elleanne Green
17/17 As well as JVL members, almost all JVL leaders were involved in Palestine Live (and still are). @jeremycorbyn calls them ‘good people’ because he swims in the same cesspit. People like Steve Tiller are the ‘Jewish voice’ that the Labour leadership want to amplify.
