The Guardian and Steve Bell are heading for the rocks, it seems. Paradoxically it's over the Guardian banning his new cartoon strip. It shows Tom Watson as the 'antisemite-finder general'. Too close to the bone for the Guardian, which has been cheerleading the same witch-hunt 
The Guardian objects to Bell including Israeli PM Netanyahu in the strip. Corporate media now treat any mention of Israeli involvement in the antisemitism smears against Corbyn as antisemitism, despite lots of evidence proving otherwise – not least Al-Jazeera's Lobby documentary
Bell notes that the Guardian published a ‘highly partisan’ advert against Corbyn (mis)using the Labour party's logo: ‘Is it that you don’t want to offend poor Tom [Watson] but are quite happy to offend poor Jeremy?’ That's a rhetorical question. We all know the answer
And he finishes with another good question, about the Guardian pulling a letter signed by 100 prominent Jews in defence of Corbyn: ‘Were they the wrong kind of Jews?' he asks. 'Or are there some subjects that we just can’t touch?’
Notice that Bell is *entirely* on his own at the Guardian in challenging the corporate media orthodoxy. Vague leftist columnists like George Monbiot and Owen Jones keep their heads down, serving as fig-leafs as they pray the reign of terror doesn't come their way
