Seeing as I’m back here, I’m going to share with you something that has made it easier to deal with a difficult couple of months.
It unites my love of music & of all things Jewish.
I’m late to the party,being out of the loop musically these days, but I discovered @A_WAOfficial
A family trio of epically creative, passionate and funky Yemenite Israeli women who have made one of the most interesting, uplifting & addictive albums I’ve come across in a good while.
We’re smitten here.
It’s been years since I last made a record but I’m inspired. I just might.
Watch & listen to this and then wonder how you managed without A-WA in your life.

If @A_WAOfficial weren’t Israeli and Jewish you’d be reading and hearing about them everywhere.
But they are, so you’re not. I wonder why🤔

But now you know.
And we win, because they are a glorious new gem in our cultural history.

A long thread on how an obsessive & violent antisemite & Holocaust denier has been embraced by the international “community of the good.”

Sarah Wilkinson has a history of Holocaust denial & anti-Jewish hatred dating back (in documented examples) to around 2015. Image
She is a self-proclaimed British activist for “Palestinian rights” but is more accurately a far Left neo-Nazi. Her son shares the same characteristics of violence, racism & Holocaust denial.
I first documented Sarah Wilkinson’s Holocaust denial back in July 2016. I believe I was the 1st person to do so.

Since then she has produced a long trail of written hate and abuse. See here for a good summary.

See this chap on the left?
He looks a nice old chap, doesn’t he really? Could be your uncle or your dad or your brother or a mate.
His name is David. Say hello to David.

David has spent his life in the Labour movement. He’s worked hard. He’s always been a union man.
In fact, David was active in the NUM and the TGWU.
David is a Labour man. A Len McCluskey man. A Corbyn man.
A socialist.
Hard times and hard graft.
Honest.
The best of British.

Only, David has a dirty secret that isn’t actually a secret and he doesn’t think it’s dirty.
What’s David’s secret-that-isn’t-a-secret?

David is a Jew hater.
A racist.
A racist conspiracy theorist.

David thinks Jews control the Labour Party.

This morning i posted yet another thread on a Labour member (this time a Cllrr & leader of a Lab group on a district council).
I've been doing this for 6 years now.
@Keir_Starmer has promised to remove antisemitism from the party he leads.
So i've got a basic question for him
"How?"
That's my question to @Keir_Starmer

Because so far the model looks suspiciously like the old one but with better rhetoric around it & some visible action.

The model is "We'll sub-contract this problem out to a handful of Jews & their allies. We won't help them"
Put simply - if me and a small group of others including @GnasherJew @LabourAgainstAS etc didn't do what we do (find Labour Jew haters & try & get them noticed by the party) then what would happen to said Jew-hating/baiting Labour members?

I can answer that: nothing.

Thread on the racist leader of a District Council Labour Group:

Cllr Charmaine Morgan is the Labour Group Leader on South Keveston District Council. SKDC is responsible for providing services to a population of around 160,000.
Cllr Morgan is active on Twitter and has a history of interacting with anti-Jewish racists who have been expelled from Labour, most notably Maureen Fitzsimmons who was apparently expelled in February 2020 (years after having been reported to the party).
When Maureen Fitzsimmons was expelled, she tweeted how Labour Friends of Israel members were “paid agents of Israel” and had committed acts of treason.

Very short thread on Owen Jones:

1. Owen is getting praised by some who should know better today because he called out an antisemitic tweet by an ex-mate/fellow former LOTO Outrider

2. In March 2018 a Corbynista CLP exec member in Sheffield used the same language in a tweet
3. This tweet by Marianne Tellier was called out by Jews and our allies and a number of Labour MPs - including Magaret Hodge - called on the party to take immediate action.
This story was all over Twitter and the national press - including BBC News
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan….
4. The offensive tweet was posted on 23rd March 2018 and on 29th March Labour suspended Tellier.
5. During this period Owen Jones was tweeting furiously (as usual) and posted often about antisemitism and his glorious role in combating it.

@stephenkb Stephen. I'm glad you are joining the campaign but i must argue with your points.
Literally none of us leading/facilitating this campaign are saying Twitter deals well with other forms of racism. Our next hope is that this builds into a wider front to take on the SM companies.
@stephenkb Why should the hashtag make you uncomfortable? Do you suggest we add an "all lives matter" caveat?
Specific experiences can be universalised, of course. But where is the rule that says they MUST be universalised AT ALL TIMES?
Does the specificity of an experience devalue it?
@stephenkb If I had made an argument around the BLM matter campaign (of course, i didn't and wouldn't) that BLM as a slogan makes me "uncomfortable" because it doesn't recognise non-black Jewish experience, what would you have said?
I think i can guess. And i'd be with you.
