*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
It is good to see the US stepping in to sanction top Hamas UK operative Zaher Birawi, seeing as successive UK governments have done nothing about a big operation here.
So, who are his mates? Hate marchers, first and foremost. Here he is, third from left, heading up the... 1/10
...first big "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" protest in London, just a week after the Hamas atrocities. His "Palestinian Forum in Britain" outfit is one of the six main national hate march organisers.
To his right, Kamel Hawwash, the former Chair of the PSC. To his left, ... 2/10
...the fanatic Ismail Patel, leader of "Friends of al-Aqsa", another main hate march organiser.
They started out as they meant to carry on. The protest was horrific.
"The doctor will hate you now." Yet another episode, brought to you by the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign". The cause is antisemites in the NHS. The target is Wes Streeting MP, the Health Secretary.
Ranjeet Brar is a surgeon at King's College Hospital. He backs terrorists. 1/8
Note him brandishing a book with a swastika superimposed on the Star of David. He loves this abuse, which is for the lowest of the low. Know the poison. 2/8 thejc.com/news/nhs-consu…
And the worst of the worst. A roll call of some of the most disgusting figures in the NHS antisemitism crisis is hailed. They are "exemplary humans", you see. Unlike that "weasel" Wes Streeting MP. 3/8
The Muslim Council of Britain has been out in the political cold for many years now.
It seems determined to stay there. Tomorrow, its leader will join Tom Facchine, an American fundamentalist hate preacher who loves Hamas, at Imperial College.
See how low Facchine goes. 1/9
Here he is in October 2023, when Israel had not even had a chance to count its dead.
"We're with the Palestinian resistance 100%. No ifs, no ands, no buts, no equivocations, no apologies, no condemnations."
This is not really about politics, by the way. 2/9
No, for Facchine, this is the eternal cosmic conflict with the Jews.
"They” told lies about the prophet of Islam, “just as they invent lies about our brothers and sisters today to turn opinion against them.”
The “Muslim soldiers” actually “treated Israelis decently”. 3/9
Neturei Karta is a tiny, extreme, and reviled sect. A sort of Jewish answer to the Westboro Baptist Church.
They probably have more friends in Birmingham than anywhere else. See Ayoub Khan MP, for example. And here's a warm welcome at Birmingham Central Mosque.
The police...1/4
...are in this mix. Mohammad Asad is an imam at the mosque and a chaplain for West Midlands Police.
This is grave. Some of the most disreputable people in Britain reach for Neturei Karta as a sort of Jewish fig leaf. No. They are nothing but a stain.
And there's more. 2/4
This is a mosque that has welcomed Uthman ibn Farooq, one of the most disgusting hate preachers I have ever seen. He even supports sex slavery in Islam.
"Delighted and privileged!" “Excellent!” “Inspiring!” “An example for many of us!” 3/4
Daniel Kebede addressing the plight of the Batley teacher in 2021. By attacking right wing commentators and Prevent.
He is now the General Secretary of the National Education Union.
Here, on top of traducing the Batley teacher, he is telling insidious lies about Prevent. 1/5
The "Palestine badge" tale about Rahmaan Mohammadi was long a far left favourite. It was pernicious rubbish. This was explained in The Spectator. 2/5
"Palestine badge" all this on social media from Mohammadi. Backing Islamic State. "Go kill yourselves" to UK and US intelligence services. British soldiers are "terrorists". Lining up with the terrorist support group Cage. 3/5
It is good to see strong reactions to the abuse of a Jewish restaurant in London last Friday. Above all, because this matter is now very serious and urgent. The 21st Century brownshirts want more. It's Soho next.
A ringleader says: "In Australia, they smashed the windows... 1/7
...of the restaurant. I'm not recommending that, but I can understand why they did it." Cue drum roll.
Do you "understand" this? Is this the London you want?
Especially when there is previous. The London restaurant was also abused last December. 2/7
Here is one of the London scenes in December. "Go f**k your mum! Free Palestine!" The officers struggle to control the raging fascist. 3/7
