To all of you on the Far Left. You cannot stand up to racism and yet be proponents of the oldest form of racism at the same time. If you don’t understand you racism here a little thread. 1/n

Racism has many forms, but what they hold in common is biases & beliefs, conscious & unconscious that a race or ethnic group should be held to different values/standards and treated differently. This is what unified anti-black racism, anti-semitism, islamophobia, etc. 2/n

Jews have always been scapegoated in Western societies & to a lesser extent in Middle Eastern society. This has long, deep, pervasive roots, usually dating back to the early days of modern religions, but has morphed and transformed to new antisemtic forms as new political 3/n

movement sprang up, though retaining the same features.

Jews were the other, the scapegoat, the one to blame. An easy target. A small group, often disperse.

It use to be more open, but as society has developed a certain intolerance to ‘open’ racism, it’s morphed to 4/n

representations of Jewishness.

To the far right, Jews were Communists, Socialists, Progressives, Usurpers.Bizarrely in this Day and age, George Soros, a wealthy Jew comes to represent hatred of leftist democratic/progressives. To the far left, in terms of Capitalism, their 5/

hate figure is the Rothschilds. A family of 18th/19th Century bankers who made great wealth in banking. An areas Jews thrived in, perhaps not surprisingly since it was one of the only areas Jews were allowed to practice professionally for centuries, as the church banned 6/

Christians from borrowing from other Christians. Hence they lent to Jews, who legally could lend to Christians.

Ironically, both Soros and The Rothschild were huge philanthropists, donating vast sums to good causes.

Them there is Israel. To anti-colonialists, Israel 7/

represents the hate figure. Despite having something like 0.1% of the world’s populations and 0.0005% of the world’s land. Somehow it dominates the ire of those who oppose imperialism.

It is treated by those on the far left different to all other countries. They hold 8/

it to different standard to all other democracies and non-democratic nations. They support both those who seek to destroy it, yet campaign against it for seeking to defend itself from those who seek to destroy it.

It’s not perfect, trying to survive whilst surrounded 9/

by enemies and those sworn to wipe it from the map, makes it a fineline to tread. And yet it maintains values which make it on a par with Western counties such as France and Belgium, and other EU nations on all measures of democratic values. 10/

But the far left choose to hold it to different standards & seek to blame it for everything else they dislike in the world. Hence when a Black Man is horrendously murdered by police in a US city, they seek to somehow find a way to blame Israel. The world’s only Jewish State 11/

This is what Jew Haters do. - Blame the Jew. It’s a conspiracy theory, which follows all the conspiracy theories which always seeks to blame the jew(s). - Even when there is no evidence, none. They will dig deep and find some sort of tenuous link & inflate it. 12/

8 years ago there was a 1/2 day conference on anti-terrorism which focused on suicide bombers, for theMinnesota police, which Israeli representatives spoke at. Somehow they link this to murderous US police being taught how to crush a man’s neck with a knee. 13/

This behaviour isn’t even allowed by the Israeli police. And yet the far-left manage to start a lie which spreads itself half way round the world before breakfast.

That is the nature of Jew hate, that is what the far-left do. Their racism, like all racism, is vile, viscous 14/

And like all racists, they believe themselves justified. They believe the stories they tell themselves as facts. Like white-supremacists who hold views on Black people as factual . The far left hold this on Israel, and do so because it’s Jewish. (Different, easy to blame). 15/

So @MPeakeOfficial @RLong_Bailey @AyoCaesar @AaronBastani @LenMcCluskey + your many allies & friends. It’s time for you to look back & see your own racism staring at you. If you retweet racism, your are promoting it.
