The Jewish Chronicle *again* lied about Muslims

The paper falsely accused Nada al-Sanjari of
- Inviting an antisemitic activist
- Turned a blind eye to antisemitic statements
- Launched a vicious protest against Luciana

All lies. They've been forced to apologise & pay libel

This can be found here: thejc.com/news/uk/nada-a…

It was thanks to Carter Ruck, with Nada represented by Adam Tudor & Helena Shipman.

They note that Stephen Pollard & Lee Harpin apologised to Nada - although I can't see the above link on @lmharpin's Twitter feed.

It is unfortunately the latest in a long line of appalling articles by the Jewish Chronicle related to Muslims

Here is an example of Lee Harpin lying about @MuslimCouncil, which was then corrected

Here is when the Jewish Chronicle lied about the Muslim charity Interpal, falsely linking it to terrorism, necessitating an apology and paying libel damage

The paper also slurred Ibrahim Hewitt, the Chairman of Interpal, which they have now clarified

Here is when The Jewish Chronicle corrected & apologised for its attempt to slur Professor Salman Sayyid with extremist links, as part of its ongoing campaign to undermine the definition of Islamophobia

Lee Harpin was the author of the original article

The reality is the Jewish Chronicle is unfortunately often a platform for hate against Muslims & to undermine Muslims in the public space

E.g. when many Muslims were reeling after the massacre in Christchurch, they published this vile piece by Phillips

And this awful piece by Melanie Philips, falls into this category: "Don’t fall for bogus claims of ‘Islamophobia’"

Obviously no care that she was literally cited by Breivik or she literally authored "Londonistan" - a term embedded amongst the far-right

The Jewish Chronicle platforms Robin Simcox, whose own organisation hosts renowned Islamophobes Brigette Gabriel & Frank Gaffney.

Yet he is given a platform at the JC to state unchallenged that the government should not engage with "extremists"

And when a Muslim raises a concern about her fears about the views of a senior politician on Muslims, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle chooses to try and slur her.

The Jewish Chronicle even praised Colonel Richard Kemp & claimed "no comments made by Colonel Kemp could reasonably be interpreted as “Islamophobic”".

Propagating propaganda for Kemp

The paper acts as a mouthpiece for those who are fighting against the very definition of Islamophobia

One does not have to wonder what this paper has said about those who fought against the definition of anti-semitism

This latest apology is not a one-off but part of a pattern of behaviour - an editorial line on Muslim-related issues as the thread shows, and as is confirmed by @cfmmuk analysis of its pieces

Shameful does not begin to cover how awful this is.

It appears Lee Harpin - who had to apologise (see 2nd tweet in thread) - who had unblocked me earlier this week*, has blocked me again

*he blocked me last week because he had shared a lie about me on his Twitter thread, then deleted it without apology & I called him out on it
