*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
Would you chop off your daughter’s hand if she was a thief? The prophet of Islam said he would.
Horrifying? No! This shows the “true justice” of sharia law.
See how Umar Muqaddam vilified modern Western justice a few days ago at the Al-Rahma mosque in Leeds, a charity. 1/5
Chopping for one and all is superior, you see, to Western systems where outcomes depend on "who you are".
So, who does have a good justice system these days? The Taliban. Admire how "swift" they are. "Going back to sharia" is the way to see "justice in the land". 2/5
Here's another reason to like the Taliban. Just supporting capital punishment is not enough. The killing should be carried out in public. 3/5
Look at the last big hate march in August alone. Yes, this man is making a Nazi salute to insult counter-protesters. Nazi abuse is very common at these protests. 2/5
If you support terrorists, you are most welcome. Bring a placard! 3/5
In February, Leicester Islamists staged one of the most overtly pro-Hamas protests I have ever seen in the UK.
Here, Asim Qureshi of Cage says Israel "cannot exist" and must be "resisted".
On the right, you will see Shockat Adam, now an MP. At a terror rally! 1/6
They held nothing back. See them marching on the day, chanting for Palestinian terrorists and cheering on the Houthis of Yemen. 2/6
This is the kind of scene where you will find the Islamist pressure group Mend, which Adam has worked for.
Here, its CEO urges the crowd to pray for a Palestinian “victory”, offers warm words to the ultra racist David Miller, and insists “you should be attacking Zionism”. 3/6
On 8 October, all of us could see the hideous crimes of Hamas.
In Birmingham, some reacted to the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust with joy, expressed at a protest *against* Israel before it had even counted its dead.
“I am very happy, I am very happy!” 1/6
This man spoke for the Muslim Association of Britain, a nasty Islamist outfit that organises the hate marches.
He got an early start.
“We are gathered today in solidarity with the right to resist." "We are supporting any human being trying to resist.” 2/6
“Thanks be to God! It’s victory! We should be celebrating!”
