*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 Image
The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) has said the LRC "are feeding the problem" by "condoning and nurturing this racism in our party". 2/6

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

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 Image
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

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 Image

Speaking in Birmingham in October, the Bradford preacher Adil Shahzad makes it plain and simple. The vile Jews are enemies of Islam.

He's welcome at scores of mosques across the UK. The hatred is deep and disturbing. We are in trouble as a country.

See how nasty it can be. 1/7
It's all Britain's fault, you know.

And the ceasefire? Not good enough. Nothing less than "complete liberation" will do.

Then he adds a Holocaust slur. 2/7
How much hate can Adil Shahzad squeeze into two minutes? This is impressive.

Wild claims about casualties, far, far above the dodgy claims of the terrorists themselves. "More Hamas than Hamas" is a strong, rising, and worrying trend in UK extremism.

A weirdo suggestion... 3/7

Wonderful news for supporters of the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign"! At today's weekly racist hate march for terrorists in Leeds, a man brandished a Qur'an, climbed on top of a police van, and then set it on fire. Hero!

Has the Green Party made him an honorary member yet?
There is a long record of criminality on the Leeds hate marches. Assaults, public order offences, and lots and lots of racism. Keep in mind that plenty more is allowed to slide. Now we see this. Why are they still allowed to abuse the city, every Saturday?

Is Palestine Free yet? It must be, no?

Aww, Adnan Hussain MP feels blessed. He is so proud to serve as an MP on the sight of “Blackburn Drummers for Palestine”. "The best constituency ever." "People who care!" "An honour, a privilege!"

What were their messages? 1/4
An awful racket of “river to the sea” chants for the annihilation of Israel, the “today ceasefire, tomorrow
liberation” cry for more war, and “we are the people”. No you’re not.

Plus the ever popular abuse of “Bella ciao”, an Italian anti-Nazi partisan anthem. No, you... 2/x
...racist lowlifes, they would be fighting you in our times. How dare you.

Here, the Blackburn troupe abuses London on a racist hate march for terrorists. “Zionism no more!” No Barclays or BAE, Britain’s top defence company, either. No “system” at all, in fact. 3/4

Isn't it a bit early for dire warnings about the perils of Christmas? The last Friday sermon at Islam Bradford.

No parties. No lights. No greetings. No gifts, not even for your kids. No feasts. Mind it all, obey Allah!

Bleak. Why live here if we are so awful and corrupting? 1/6
After all, Zohaib Khan's message above echoes many earlier warnings and laments at the mosque.

Poor Alyas Karmani, for example, speaking here in May 2025. People drinking wine and enjoying music, women singing, and men wearing silk upset him deeply. Oppose them! "A red... 2/6
...wind" may come, Karmani continued. The earth may swallow them. They may even be turned into animals!

Here, the youth are admonished last year. Abu Yusuf worries about Muslims and fun. When they want to free Palestine! How did Saladin spend his summers? Working on war, not sitting in shisha bars! 3/6

Musheir El-Farra, Sheffield Chair of the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign", has harsh words for Arab governments dealing with Israel.

No! Attack ships, like the "great" Houthi death cult terrorists! He hails "the Lebanese" too, meaning Hezbollah.

"Love and respect!" 1/4
That's another marker on our road to becoming one of the most extreme countries on earth.

The Houthi slogan: "God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"

Well, El-Farra is right in line with the big heroes here. 2/4 Image
And he will please his local audience. Just a week ago, these creeps marched through Sheffield, shouting for racist terrorists. 3/4

"Zionist scum! We will honour all our martyrs! From the river to the sea!" "Allahu akbar!"

Today's "anti-racist" protest outside Tower Hamlets Town Hall, where they are daring to invoke Cable Street. That's some of the most grotesque perversion you will see in London, even...
...in a city that teems with horrors.

Here, "it's just the Islamic declaration of faith!". Yes, but the colours and styling of the flag signal allegiance to violent extremism, starting with the Taliban.

And that image on the lower right on the banner?
It is a celebration of the 7 October atrocities, shown here at another protest. It reads "Gaza is the occupier’s burial ground".

The image is being pushed by the "Palestinian Youth Movement", yet another set of awful extremists. Image
