@HenMazzig@SarahKSilverman I’m a British rabbi with former members of the UK Labour Party in my congregation.
Corbyn was a disaster. A Shanda. Union cash set up a front group to support him with Jews from the fringe left. Jewish MPs wrre bullied out of the party. Interference in party disciplinaries on AS
@HenMazzig@SarahKSilverman Serious destruction at the polls - and the uk is way more left wing than the USA. Simply coujd not stomach his AS.
My leftie members are still recovering from Corbyn’s regime.
It’s great to support Palestine, but you don’t do it by supporting antisemitic murals or sneering
He advocated for people who tried to blow up Jewish communal offices.
He tried to rename Holocaust Memorial Day to remove holocaust from it, lying that other genocides were not mentioned - in fact they always are.
@HenMazzig@SarahKSilverman He wrote a foreword for a book written by a left wing antisemite, Hobson. He criticized the author’s attitude to black peoples snd South Asians, ignoring his obvious antisemitism.
He was approached by our communal abd represebtative bodies. He would not engage.

@HenMazzig@SarahKSilverman He boasted in 1984 that he would push the Labour Party’s Jewish affiliate out of the Party.

Here is the wonderful “That’s Life” section with Esther Rantzen, where Nicholas Winton is reunited with many of those whom he rescued, and their children. The whole audience were either themselves the children of 1939, or descendants of those children. 3/4
@MPeakeOfficial uses a modern version of blood libel to slander Israel, as being responsible for the death of George Floyd for training police in counter terrorism.
Ironically @amnestyintl put out a press release contradicting her.
Thread 👇🏼 a history of Blood Libel and associated lies:
It dates back at least to 250BCE, when the Greeks, puzzled by the Jews' lack of a tangible corporeal God, started making daft allegations about our modes of worship, alleging that we kidnap and consume Greeks or gentiles. 2/
Damocritus is first cited using the smear. Roman Jewish turncoat historian Josephus defended Jews against the libel w "In Apion", who alleged that Jews fatten Greek captive annually for sacrifice and consumption. The lie was current; others used it. 3/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Against_A…
