*Thread* If you are a true Israel hater, you will look on the distressing events in America and your thoughts will turn to, um, Israel. The most tangential and circumstantial of connections will do.
Step forward Newport Labour councillor Miqdad al-Nuaimi. 1/8
Rebecca Long-Bailey spread this poison too. There was a party price to pay, as there should be.
This is no one-off. Al-Nuaimi rails against Israel in tweet after tweet after tweet. Newport, by contrast, gets relatively little attention. Bins? Parks? Roads? Nah. Israel!! 2/8
Did you know, for example, that Israel is committing "genocide"? This is one for the far fringe, as ridiculous as it is offensive. Yet al-Nuami is fond of it. Very fond. He even resorts to "Final Solution" abuse. 3/8
Al-Nuaimi also routinely promotes some of the worst voices out there. Kerry-Anne Mendoza of The Canary, a notorious hate site. Electronic Intifada, home to Asa Winstanley, who quit Labour before he was pushed. Jewish Voice for Labour, the champion of the party's antisemites. 4/8
And the Holocaust denier Sarah Wilkinson, heaping high praise on the putrid antisemite Roger Waters. 5/8
There’s more. Al-Nuaimi was suspended from Labour in 2016 for comparing the Israeli government to the Nazis and writing "ISIS leader Al-Baghdadi dies in Israeli hospital…If confirmed, the #Israeli connection is very interesting." 6/8 bbc.co.uk/news/election-…
Incredibly, Labour let him off. Since then he has fantasised about the Prime Minster’s head on a plate, pushed a lie that Mossad did Corbyn in, scorned a “witch hunt” and “smears” as Labour antisemites were brought to book, and attacked anti-racists. 7/8
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."
“Oh, the oppression!”, they wail, as the “Quds Day” march is banned. No. The regime’s servants have abused London for decades now. This is long overdue.
This photograph was taken in 1994! Walk back up the hatred trail to see how awful it has been. 1/8
These images are also from 1994. Starting out as they meant to carry on. Nothing was hidden.
"Death"? Oh yes. Their Hamas heroes were already suicide bombing Israeli civilians at the time. 2/8
“We are all Hezbollah!” “Blood and guns” for Lebanon. Massoud Shadjareh, founder of the “Quds Day” organisers, the self-styled “Islamic Human Rights Commission”, is draped in a Hezbollah flag. Tel Aviv is threatened. This was 2006.
