1/ We’ve been following fake news site, The Canary & its editor, Kerry-Anne Mendoza since the start of our campaign. In the last few days she has come out with some of the most frightening language we’ve ever seen from her. #SFFN
2/ In the above tweet she denies members of the new government their identities & their humanity. This is exactly what the far-right do: they say you can’t be British & Muslim, Mendoza says you can’t be a Tory & “person of colour”. #SFFN
3/ This is the sort of language that leads to political violence. By reducing someone to their colour they are denied their right to independent beliefs & their humanity, allowing fanatics to justify violence against them. #SFFN
4/ Here Mendoza denies Jewish people their identity, describing them instead as “wealthy white centrists”, quoting a thread which describes a Jewish woman as a “wealthy white person with blonde hair”. #SFFN
5/ The thread Mendoza promotes accuses Jewish people complaining about antisemitism of being “white people trying to become the stars of racism”, and asks “how is anyone going to take antisemitism seriously?” It’s an attempt to divide victims of racism. #SFFN
6/ We target fake news sites on both sides of the political divide, so we see every day that the far-right aren’t only concerned with one particular ethnic or political group. They don’t discriminate between George Soros, Sajid Javid and David Lammy. #SFFN
7/ Yesterday Mendoza repeated a trope she has employed several times in the past. To compare Israel to the Nazis is a specific example of antisemitism included in its international definition. She did the same thing in an article for The Canary in 2016. #SFFN
8/ Hi @MissSixtyStyle, you won’t have known but your adverts are appearing on The Canary today, inadvertently helping to fund this racial divisiveness. Please blacklist The Canary & other fake news sites from your advertising Here’s how: stopfundingfakenews.com/advertiser Thanks! #SFFN
