My thread on last night's #Panorama -- a deeply dishonest programme, repeating the same old lies about the manufactured Labour antisemitism "crisis".

Lies about Ken Livingstone, lies about Jackie Walker, lies about Raed Salah. Lies about practically everything.
#Panorama's hatchet job featured a veritable who's who of the right-wing, anti-Corbyn, anti-Palestinian cadres that've driven this fake crisis all along.

Yet *none* of these affiliations were disclosed in the programme. Some of these "brave whistle blowers" were not even named!
Examples:

* Ella Rose, former Israeli embassy officer and current JLM exec. Unnamed by #Panorama while appearing as "whistleblower". electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
* Alex Richardson, employee of Labour Friends of Israel's Joan Ryan. He and his boss fabricated antisemitism at Labour conference, privately admitting "nothing antisemitic was said": electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
* #Panorama's "expert" Alan Johnson in fact works for BICOM, the UK's main Israel lobby group. BICOM was unmentioned even while he set "acceptable" limits for criticizing Israel. Farcical. electronicintifada.net/tags/bicom

There were more, but I think you get the picture. #Panorama
The real reason for this constructed "crisis" was openly stated by embittered Blairite Mike Creighton on #Panorama: Corbyn had not given a speech "particularly saying Israel had a right to exist".
The manufactured "antisemitism crisis" is not primarily about Israel. It is about the entire British establishment attempting to undermine a threat to its interests -- which is what Corbyn represents. #Panorama
As a racist settler-colonial state, the British establishment has a sort of natural affinity with Israel. Israel is a useful tool -- it is *the* number one wedge issue that had been used to attack Corbyn and his popular movement. #Panorama
Israel and its lobby has *always* used *false* and *malicious* allegations of antisemitism to attack Palestine solidarity. So of course it is being utilized against Corbyn too. That is what #Panorama was all about.
I've written this up in this article today, have a read: electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
