*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

Ah. No. The charity was obviously aligned with jihadis at the time. This was not hard to figure out. And the times were very fraught indeed, as British jihadists flocked to Syria to join its most extreme terrorist groups.
The elation is special, though, when you can taunt Jews with Nazi slurs. Look at the joy on this woman's face at the Israel hatred rally in London last Saturday.
The well of poison is deep. This protest alone will show you. 1/6
Nazi salutes? Sure! Or should I say "naturlich!".
They are common now at "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" hatred rallies.
Here are two known ones from last Saturday, both aimed at counter-protesting Jews and Iranian exiles. 2/6
"End the Holocaust"
Oh, more abuse of the Warsaw Ghetto memory.
No, a Jewish fig leaf (a stain, actually) doesn’t make it OK.
Nazi coffin creep was there too last Saturday. He's a regular, always welcome. 3/6
Defending police actions at this ugly rally, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has said:
"If you had a pro-Israel protest going on and a couple of Palestinian supporters walked into the middle of it and waved flags, we’d hoick them out of it as well.”
Last October at the JW3 Centre in London. This wasn't even a rally. Just a conference about Israeli politics, attracting a number of liberal types.
Some of London's worst - and already known - extremists descended on it to abuse Jews to their faces.
There were no arrests. 2/6
Then there's the Swiss Cottage story. For many months, the Met "facilitated" protests in the London neighbourhood. The sole aim was to abuse and intimidate the numerous Jews who live there on the eve of the sabbath.
"Cutting down ribbons for the hostages, are we? That's OK." 3/6
What to do with Jews who were at risk of being lynched?
Detain them and threaten them with arrest for breaching the peace. Welcome to London, that "bastion against hate", in 2025.
This happened at yesterday's hatred rally for racist vandals. 1/4
Here's the "Zionist scum!" baying mob.
The capital has been handed over to ghouls like this. They set the rules on who can go where and what they are allowed to do. The Met helps them do that.
Cries for Israel's annihilation ring out.
So, has the Met apologised? No, of... 2/4
...course not. In fact, the Commissioner has berated the victims.
This is where we are. Mob rule by racists. Creeps shouting for terror, just about every day. Nazi-grade antisemitism.
