Another @UKLabour MP 'innocently' pushes out #antisemitism and no surprise he is a member of Labour Friends for Palestine.

I have shown time and time again the clear correlation between those that jump on the Palestinian cause and the slippery slope to Jew hatred.

Here's why -

The pillars upon which anti-Israel activism is based are at best major distortions and at worse complete fiction.

Because it is based on lies the pro-Palestinian argument cannot help but demonise the Jewish state.

For example - anti Israel activists say the Arabs welcomed the Jews in the 1920s, but the Jews turned on them. .

In truth the antisemitic Arab violence was so bad, dividing the populations (partition) became the only clear path to save the Jews from attacks.

Or what they call the Nakba - they pretend a peaceful Arab population was set upon by Jewish militias in 1948.

In truth during a bloody civil war, Arab irregulars in their 1000s had entered the area to destroy the Jewish towns and kill those living there.

And even plan Dalet - which they claim was a blueprint for ethnic cleansing was just a Jewish response to the loss of the roads in a bloody civil war. They were saving Jewish convoys feeding Jewish towns.

It was only after months of heavy losses and with the threat of the impending invasion of Arab armies that, Jewish forces went from defense to attack.

Most Arabs, had simply run from the fighting. Many in the hope they'd come back when the Jews had been expelled or killed.

And the two state solution, which the Arabs, have turned down every time - is used as a stick to beat Israel with. If the Arabs wanted a state, then why didn't they create one when they had the chance.

They use whatever is the latest issue - settlements, Gaza, even Coronavirus as an excuse for Arab violence against Jews - but the truth is that before any of these were ever a problem - the violence still existed.

They're just spreading more lies.

So at every turn, they replace the truth with propaganda and lies which demonise Israel.

So when Jews, stick up for Israel - it is seen as irrational and extreme. Smears - lies - like genocide and Apartheid are thrown at them.

Believing these lies leads to antisemitism.

So when you buy into the Palestinian cause you swallow so many falsehoods - you are almost inevitably standing on the edge of an antisemitic cliff.

Of course it is okay to criticise Israel, no democratic state is perfect and all governments should have opposition.

But it is VITAL not to fall into the trap - just because A might be wrong on something, doesn't make B right.

Their cause is led by extremists and antisemites.

The Palestinians may deserve support - but if you find yourself reading the toxic extremist material put out by PSC or BDS or Electronic Intifada, you've fallen into a Web of lies that will blind you completely to the truth.

Your on a slope that leads to Jew hate.

Back away.
