👇THREAD on Scott Nelson. His account, @socialistvoice, is one the most influential accounts spreading Labour Party propaganda, with almost 70,000 followers >
Nelson was identified by @cst_uk as the key player in Labour’s antisemitic ‘engine of hate’. He also downplays Labour antisemitism, targets high profile antisemitism campaigners and promotes Labour antisemites >
Scott Nelson was expelled from the Labour Party following a series of tweets about “Jewish companies” with “Jewish blood” being greedy and mistreating workers >
He also tweeted an Israeli flag peeling away to reveal a swastika. He wrote "they play the Holocaust card, we show them this"

This was during one of his conversations with notorious neo-nazi account @smeggypants, run by Paul Woodlock >
They were, by his own admission, friends. What kind of person is friends with a Holocaust denier who spends his time pumping out hardcore antisemitism? >
Scott Nelson also called openly neo-nazi Hitler admirer, Ian Millard (and friend Julia Jay) "Corbynites like us". Millard was disbarred as a Lawyer for racial hate speech >
And what about Holocaust denier and extreme antisemite Charles Frith? >
Nelson retweets bizarre conspiracies by Holocaust revisionist Sally Eason aka @LabLeftVoice. She rants about antisemitism campaigners who, Nelson adds, are "far right" bullies.

@lableftvoice targets Jews, most notably posting a faked tweet she claimed was by @RachelRileyRR >
Many accounts Nelson interacts with are notorious, and Jewish accounts are well acquainted with their abuse. Strangely the subject they discuss regularly revolves around one thing >
Nelson has friends in high places within the Labour Party. Chris Williamson MP promoted and defended Nelson despite knowing about background.

According to his ex Comms Officer, Sayed Kamzi, Williamson was "reluctant" to distance himself despite being asked to >
Despite the IHRA definition of antisemitism stating that criticism of Israel is not antisemitic, Nelson claims the opposite is true.

Nelson tweets obsessively about Israel, posting questionable sources. Some have been called hate sites >
Nelson cries crocodile tears, posting an article about Joshua Zitzer being horrified by resurgent antisemitism. But Nelson conveniently overlooks the Labour antisemitism Zitzer was subjected to, which according to @CST_UK Nelson played a key role in spreading online >
The CST protect the Jewish community, from schools to places of worship. They are non-political and work closely with the Muslim community.

But Nelson calls them "right wing", posting from a questionable site. Coincidentally he calls other Jewish organisations "right wing" >
In one tweet alone about CST, Nelson used two antisemitic tropes.

He accused CST of dual loyalty - working for the secret service of a foreign power (Israel of course). Nelson also thinks they're conspiring to interfere in British politics and bring down Jeremy Corbyn >
Instead Nelson promotes a fringe group of antisemitism deniers, 'Jewish Voice for Labour', who normalise Labour antisemitism.

They are the type of 'Jewish organisation' he finds acceptable, unlike Labour's only affiliated Jewish org, who he calls "right wing" >
Nelson wears the evidence of his activities in the 'engine of Hate' report with pride, renaming it 'Engine of hope'.

As expected, Labour supporters emulate him. They feel no shame at their hatred towards the Jewish community being forensically exposed >
Nelson amplifies the voices of people like Jackie Walker. She was expelled from Labour for antisemitism over Holocaust comments. >
And Nelson amplifies Eddie Dempsey, a representative of the RMT who downplays Labour antisemitism.

Dempsey posted a white supremacist style antisemitic conspiracy theory. He accused a pro-eu left winger of having "pockets of Soros money" >
Nelson retweets Craig Murray, the Israel obsessed conspiracy theorist. He also seems quite taken with Galloway, retweeting him, tagging him into tweets and even obliging his request to get #SackTomWatson trending >
Nelson posts outlets like 'Dorset Eye', who recently spent considerable effort collating lists of Jews. He posts their attack on Labour antisemitism activists, who he calls "far right"

He also tweets 'Jewish war' Skwawkbox & fake news 'The Canary' whose editor supports LLV >
But to Nelson the real enemy is a Jewish community newspaper. He describes them as "right wing" gutter tabloid pushing "fake news" in a plot against Jeremy Corbyn.

Is it ironic that his comment was on a skwawbox piece? >
Nelson even turns a joke by a few Jews into abuse. #resignforchris surprised everyone when it trended, and some daft, glassy eyed Corbynistas believed it.

Nelson transforms this joke into a conspiracy by... the "right wing" and "apologists for Israel's apartheid" >
Attacking Jews is perfect for Corbyn's brand of populism. It gives them a scapegoat and makes them popular. It's something they can all get behind.

Scott Nelson defends Labour antisemites while attacking Jews and antisemitism campaigners who won't comply >
Scott Nelson sends out the message, and footsoldiers duly oblige. His network is immense and they are dedicated to fighting our tiny community >
They say Jews hold all the power and use it to manipulate, but the opposite is true. This is David against Goliath. They have the numbers, the money and the Party apparatus. They hold the power and they abuse it. Scott Nelson is the evidence /end
