*Thread* What do Jewish groups make of the Labour Representation Committee (LRC), a far-left outfit with John McDonnell as President?
The Board of Deputies of British Jews has frank words: the LRC champions some of the worst figures in the Labour party's antisemitism crisis. 1/6
The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) has said the LRC "are feeding the problem" by "condoning and nurturing this racism in our party". 2/6 jewishlabour.uk/johnmcdonnell
In another statement earlier this year, the JLM was forthright: “It is evident that the LRC should not be tolerated any longer by honest Labour Party members and yes be expelled from the party." 3/6 jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/labour-pressur…
The Campaign Against Antisemitism has spoken up as well, calling the LRC on its "long history of belittling claims of antisemitism, publishing extremely disturbing articles and holding events with Jew-baiters." 4/6
Well, indeed. The LRC is atrocious. Proudly so.
See an example for yourself if you will. "Outrage as NEC blocks Chris Williamson" - that was the LRC's reaction when the party finally decided the arch Jew baiter Williamson should not be one of its MPs. 5/6 labourrep.com/blog/2019/11/6…
So what does Jeremy Corbyn make of the LRC, alongside Laura Pidcock and Wirral councillor and NEC candidate Jo Bird? You will not be surprised. New management, same old poison. 6/6

…asked for the route of a PSC march to be changed, so people could finally go to synagogues in the area of a Saturday without coming across hordes of shouting “intifada!” extremists. Some Jews had simply stopped going because of the hate marches, which were big, frequent,.. 2/14
...and appalling in those times. For once, the Met listened. It did not ask for much either. Merely a route change, with a starting point at Russell Square rather than the BBC.
The “Palestine Solidarity Campaign” responded with a furious tantrum. No fewer than 46 MPs... 3/14
What does today's Green Party want? Hatred and violence.
Try Chandi Chopra, a candidate in Newcastle. Her opening came when Hollie Mildenhall “stepped down as a candidate” in March 2026. Mildenhall had been convicted of criminal damage at a defence plant in the city. 1/10
Chopra is no improvement. She backs Mildenhall wholeheartedly. As Mildenhall went on trial, she wrote: “we hope to see a lot more of this at EACH and EVERY arms factory across the UK making money from genocide, war or conflict. F4CK them all to hell.” 2/10
The hatred is strong and burning. In this typically agitated video, she makes it clear that Israel and Palestine - namely, “the squatter entity of Israel” - is the only issue she really cares about in Newcastle politics. She brands serving councillors “war criminals”. 3/10
You’ve heard the solemn rhetoric. You’ve seen the earnest pledges and the concerned faces in Golders Green.
Now reality in Britain in recent days. First, creeps dressed like terrorists shouting for terrorists at a defence plant near Bristol this morning. “Intifada!” 1/11
Bristol appears to be a place where “intifada” won’t get you in trouble. There is no consistency in UK policing.
They added “smash the Zionist settler state!” and "resistance is justified!", just to be sure you know they back racist terrorists bent on genocide for the Jews. 2/11
It appears gatherings worthy of the KKK are becoming a norm outside Parliament on Wednesdays. Here are some of yesterday's toxic messages.
In a discussion of the policing of protests today at the London Assembly, Zoe Garbett of the Green Party sided squarely with the hate marchers. "There has been no violence", she asserted, as she gave a nod to the far left "Netpol" outfit.
Oh really? Let's take a look. 1/8
Garbett raises the protest of 18 January 2025, when there were scores of arrests after marchers defied police orders. Here they are. Not all that "peaceful", are they. 2/8
In fact, violence is what they love. A typical scene from that 18 January protest. "Intifada!" Racist terrorists. That's their cause. 3/8
Zionism was probably something of a mystery to many people on 6 October 2023. Two and a half years of hatred have been quite an education. So the ugly messages at the “Quds Day” protest in London yesterday should come into sharp relief.
Jews as corrupters is ancient poison. 1/8
Zionists range from committed leftists to the hard right. So wherever you are on the political spectrum, you probably have Zionist fellows. And we are talking about the vast majority of Jews when it comes to Zionism in general.
Do you want them to be "destroyed"? 2/8
Nefarious Jewish control is another ancient hatred theme. Swapping in "Zionism" changes nothing. We see you. 3/8
At the "Quds Day" protest in London today, the cover of the poison well was well and truly pulled back. Stare into the abyss to know the hatred.
Here, Nazim Ali of the self-styled "Islamic Human Rights Commission" leads "death to America and Israel!" chants in Urdu after... 1/9
...a salute to the "great martyr" Khamenei.
On to Abbas Edalat. Nuremberg, circa 1933? No, London 2026. “The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumour that has to be stopped.” “A gangster like tic.” “The totality of all that is evil in humanity.” Go regime! 2/9
Ghassan Kanafani of the PFLP terrorist group - infamous for hijackings and airport slaughter - is invoked by a "poet". A racist message follows. "Peace is the white man's word. Liberation is our word."
