Momentum and antisemitism exposed Part 3:

Momentum North Devon, Rothschild conspiracies, antisemitism and denials > #MomentumAntisemitism

MomentumNDevon demanded to see evidence of Aaron Bastani's antisemitism. When presented with many clear examples, they dismissed it outright >

Rothschild conspiracy theories were used by antisemites for hundreds of years and to this very day. The Nazis used it for their propaganda. But MomentumNDevon claim it is NOT antisemitic >

Instead MomentumNDevon claim the Jewish person pointing it out is part of the racism they 'claim to oppose', suggesting they raised it in bad faith >

MomentumNDevon not only dismissed Jewish protests but also claimed THEY were being victimised. They said they were having 'nonsensical racial terms' forced upon them. In other words Jews can't be trusted to recognise antisemitism >

It turns out Momentum Devon are matey with Aaron Bastani, having cosy little chats. They even asked him to drop by on his 'tour' >

MomentumNDevon even defended Bastani retweeting a conspiracy about Jews by Holocaust revisionist LLV. They justified it by claiming LLV was "correct on the issue", adding that LLV was often correct 🤢 >

Momentum Devon also defended Bastani's colleague, Ash Sarkar, for supporting antisemitic graffiti on the Warsaw ghetto - a mass grave of Jews >

Racist comments about Jews plotting to destabilise democracy on behalf of a foreign power were applauded by Labour supporters. And MomentumNDevon justified this disgusting antisemitism >

What about the antisemitism revealed and threats to whistleblowers from the Labour Party following the Panorama exposé? Being ahead in the polls is all that matters to MomentumNDevon... Kinder gentler politics >

Then there's Chris Williamson, and the roll call of antisemites and Holocaust deniers he promoted.

MomentumNDevon's excuse was he apologised for one instance (after pressure). They "wish he'd explain/retract" about another. Not exactly anti-racism is it. >

MomentumNDevon don't afford @RachelRileyRR the same benefit of the doubt. She felt uncomfortable with Owen Jones celebrating a high profile Jew feeling unwelcome in Britain.

They accused her of weaponising antisemitism and blamed her for 'providing cover for actual A/S'. >

MomentumNDevon act chummy with Alex Tiffin. He was arrested after allegedly texting terror threats days after the London Bridge attack. Recently the Police also searched his house >

Alex Tiffin is an author for Evolve Politics. They featured in a report by @CST_UK for their role in Labour's antisemitic 'Engine of Hate'. They've even posted neo-nazi material >

This is the pattern from MomentumNDevon, which may already be familiar with:

* Person raises antisemitism
* Demand to see evidence
* Evidence is provided
* Deny the issue and blame the person raising the antisemitism

Rinse and repeat >

MomentumNDevon have left behind a lot of deleted tweets. What are they hiding?

In this case it appears they may have called outspoken antisemitism campaigner @IanAustinMP a 'toxic thug'. >

And I wonder what was said here? >

MomentumNDevon made the preposterous claim that @JewishLabour were 'pro-Netanyahu', but couldn't provide a single example when confronted. They got 'confused' >

The backtracking was an embarassment. You might want to read these from behind your fingers >

Kerry-Anne Mendoza who supports hardcore antisemites, embellishes the contents of a video to make an antisemitic claim. Guess who comes to her defence with another ridiculous argument? MomentumNDevon >

And there's the first hand account of Labour antisemitism by journalist @Freedland. MomentumNDevon dismiss the racism he witnessed as "a fairly civil disagreement" >

MomentumNDevon have shamelessly used baseless arguments, racist stereotypes and gaslighting to defend antisemitism. >

They have targeted Jews and others who spoke out, while defending anti-Jewish racism. They are little more than a Labour trolling account /ends
