JVL's Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi warned the NEC at conference in 2017 that the party was moving towards thought crime because of the antisemitism "crisis".

Unfortunately she was proven correct.
Here's Faiza Shaheen's Tweet accusing Pete Willsman of thought crime.
She also misrepresented what Pete Willsman actually said in the tape -- few Labour MPs now seem to care about facts when it comes to the "Labour antisemitism" hysteria.

Showing of "Witch Hunt" due Monday cancelled after complaints "from people who have not seen it," organizers tell me. Neve Gordon: "This is outrageous"

Filmmaker @jonmarkpullman: People should “see the film, and then make their own mind up." witchhuntfilm.org
Thread of quotes from filmmakers (who've who've actually seen it) on Witch Hunt:

"This impeccably-executed film exposes with chilling accuracy the terrifying threat that now confronts democracy" Mike Leigh (Peterloo, Secrets and Lies, et al)
"Packs a powerful punch, telling a story we just aren’t hearing at the moment." Peter Kosminsky (Wolf Hall, The Promise)

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.

Lets go on a UK tour of @UKLabour's #antisemitism:

We start in Torbay, in the Beautiful South-West, where *3* Labour *candidates* have just been suspended over antisemitism - some of their foul posts even included claims Jews wanted to kill all non-Jews
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Move along the south coast to Brighton, where another council candidate, Alex Braithwaite has just been suspended for sharing 'abhorrent' posts like promoting Rothschild conspiracy or saying the BBC is controlled by Israel. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…
In Kent, Jackie Walker was finally expelled - after three years of incompetence, delays and back-tracking. Three years to rid itself of someone not just suspended over antisemitism, but openly touring the UK - ridiculing the whole thing as a 'witchhunt'. thejc.com/news/uk-news/a…

.@uklabour (thread). Despite Jewish support for Jeremy Corbyn being at an all-time low, a loyal few wrote a letter of support to give the opposite impression. @jeremycorbyn used them to insist he has Jewish support.
But we recognised many names as being JVL members and their committed supporters. Here’s some more info about a few of their key members who signed.... theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
JVL leader and treasurer, Mike Cushman, who was profiled by @CST_UK, said:

- Zionists control British politics
- zionists collaborated with Hitler
- Jews are responsible for antisemitic attacks

In my Guardian article yesterday I claimed that Corbyn and his team want to rewrite @TheIHRA definition on #antisemitism to neuter @UKLabour's own rule against antisemitism. This is key to understanding what they are trying to do and I'll explain it a bit more here /1
If a party member is disciplined for antisemitism it is always under the rule against conduct that is "prejudicial, or... grossly detrimental to the party." This used to be at the discretion of the NEC /2
This changed last September when party conference made the expression of antisemitism and other prejudice an automatic offence. The old rule is on the left, new rule on the right /3

1. A few comments on Jonathan Freedland's (@Freedland) often misleading piece on the antisemitism controversy and the Labour Party theguardian.com/commentisfree/… … #Antisemitism @medialens @MichaelRosenYes @tonylerman @CPMacL2008 @AaronBastani @michaeljswalker
2. Freedland says only people who say “Jews are Nazis” would contravene the IHRA definition. In fact, the IHRA definition is much broader, referring to “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” holocaustremembrance.com/working-defini…
3. Freedland says IHRA definition “explicitly says that if you criticise Israel the way you criticise other countries” it is not antisemitism. This ignores the testimony of Kenneth Stern, who drafted the definition that has morphed into the IHRA definition judiciary.house.gov/wp-content/upl…

THREAD: This past Sunday, Louis Farrakhan held his big event of the year, Saviours’ Day, where he routinely spouts outrageous #antiSemitism and #hate. Don’t believe us? Here’s what he said: adl.org/blog/farrakhan…
Farrakhan was not shy in making it known, Jews are his enemy.
Here, he makes anti-Semitic and trans-phobic claims that Jews controlling Hollywood cause people to be transgender.

There follows a thread - as i sort of promised yesterday - on @JVoiceLabour , @FreeSpeechOnIsr and Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi.

The first thing to note is that @jeremycorbyn in his role as Leader of @UKLabour has endorsed JVL. Hold on to that thought.
JVL and FSOI are owned/managed by the same group of people: Naomi WI, Jonathan Rosenhead, Glyn Secker & Mike Cushman. See Companies House listings and JVL officers page below.

They are clearly just 2 "brands" for the same organisation.
Last week i appeared on @bbcbigquestions along with Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi of FSOI and JVL. The debate was on Left wing antisemitism.

I opened by reading out some examples of antisemitic social media posts, including from members of NWI's own group - Free Speech on Israel.
