. THREAD 1/x

David Baddiel is getting lots of coverage and feedback on his book which again focuses on so called 'left wing' antisemitism.

I will start by saying that I have seen antisemitic comments made by Labour members and some genuine cases.

However, I have huge concerns.
2/x

Let's look in detail at this article written in April 2019 in the @Guardian - and I will explain the concerns.

The areas highlighted guide you to believe this was all Labour - IT WASN'T.

It also occurred before 2015! Detail follows...

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
3/x

So as you see the writer of this rather deceitful piece starts with

"THAT CHANGED IN SEPTEMBER 2015" 🙄

This was done to point the timeframe as Corbyn's leadership. Yet the article goes on to describe things that are not even related to Labour, which occurred in 2014.
4/x

So... What in fact the @Guardian writer is discussing here is this case - where a group of Neo-Nazi's spent months inflicting abuse on Jewish MP Luciana Berger

All the detail is in the Court Notes when Bonehill-Paine was sentenced by the judge.

judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…
5/x

The Justice sentencing remarks to Neo-Nazi explain the previous cases too. See the date 2014.

Yet the Guardian writer refers to this NON LABOUR case to effectively make her article a lie.

"Star of David" - this was Garron Helm another neo-Nazi..
6/x

Again the Court Notes from Joshua Bonehill-Paine's sentencing show this detail - referencing October 27th 2014.

The horrible antisemitism of "Body of a Rat" was described by the judge.

Do people not think it was vile to use this to lie and attack Labour?
7/x

Further notes from the Judge whilst sentencing this vile antisemitic right wing neo-Nazi.

See the comment the "Operation F* J* B*"

But the Guardian writer more than implies that this was Labour members "my own party". Isn't this slander?
8/x

It wasn't just 1 Guardian article either - it was many articles all trying to embed this right wing antisemitism as part of Labour and Corbyn's 'problem' at the time that Labour were dealing with the small issue that existed.

This disgusting comment was 2014... NON LABOUR!
9/x

NOW YOU KNOW THE DETAIL

Look again and read this carefully to see what Helen Lewis does here

The flow of the message is LABOUR ISSUE, distraught Jewish councillors, Chakrabarti report, Luciana 'speaking out' then the RIGHT WING STUFF then flips back to Corbyn supporters.

@PerkyWarbeck @BeTheChange800 @WatermelonBloke @RadheSh47372605 @StephenBottrill He started out as a small time agitator, but the real investment came from the links to the 🇨🇦 (Ezra Levant) and 🇺🇸 (Daniel Pipes) neoconservative (pro Israel) right who saw him as a way to engage public opinion in their common cause

The demonisation of Muslims is associated 1/x
@PerkyWarbeck @BeTheChange800 @WatermelonBloke @RadheSh47372605 @StephenBottrill 2/x with the neocons “war on terror” and justification for regime change and wars for oil ⛽️

The exaggeration of Labour anti semitism is also closely associated with the same aim...
@PerkyWarbeck @BeTheChange800 @WatermelonBloke @RadheSh47372605 @StephenBottrill 3/x

If you can justify war by making the public distrust all “Muslims” you need to also diminish and delegitimise those that will challenge your wars

@NickCohen4 @ggreenwald To put it mildly - I DID DO the research

NOT A SMEAR YOU SAY?

Exhibit A

@helenlewis used right wing antisemitism to embellish a story about Labour.

Does that help Jewish people or did it scare them to make them believe this was a Labour's issue?

theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Image
@NickCohen4 @ggreenwald @helenlewis NOT A SMEAR YOU SAY?

Exhibit B

Tracy Oberman also used right wing antisemitism to embellish a story about Labour.

Did that help Jewish people or did it scare them to make them believe this was a Labour's issue?

It's utterly disgusting to do this!

theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Image
@NickCohen4 @ggreenwald @helenlewis NOT A SMEAR YOU SAY?

Exhibit C

Guardian (John Harris, March 2019)

A TERRIBLE dishonest article that embeds a video by Luciana Berger where she describes "6 People Prosecuted" - fails to mention NONE WERE LABOUR MEMBERS!

Nasty evil liars.

A THREAD 1/x

In 2014 Luciana Berger received truly horrible antisemitic abuse from a coordinated attack by a right wing group.

This was the abuse that later led to her requiring security, during court cases against some of these vile individuals.

REMEMBER - The Labour leader at this time was Ed Miliband. A Jew himself.

Look how it was reported. @DPJHodges did this piece in the Telegraph.

It criticises Ed Miliband but praises John Mann - and then uses it to attach Miliband on Israel.

telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…
3/x February 2015

The next year with the court cases against the vile antisemites starting we had these reports - Ed Miliband was still leader

It gives details of the messages Luciana Berger received. Truly disgusting

> Star of David

2/X So more about 'Robbie Gibb'

Robbie was Theresa May's comms director and oversaw the clearly biased period on #Newsnight

Robbie is SCARED OF TWITTER.

He doesn't appreciate 'the right of reply' that Twitter provides.

I believe Maxine Peake has just been libelled by Piers Morgan. @MPeakeOfficial clear your name!

Maxine never 'blamed it on Jews' - and to be clear Israel do undertake police training for US Police - in fact other Jewish groups in the USA have called this out.
@piersmorgan @GMB @MPeakeOfficial

This is a Jewish group in the USA.

Are they anti-Semitic when they say -

“worst practices” are shared to promote and extend discriminatory and repressive policing in both countries."

deadlyexchange.org
Dozens of US Police Departments HAVE BEEN TRAINED in "Krav Maga" exchange trips to Israel.

An element of training can for some Krav Maga courses do include a neck kneeling technique.

But perhaps Israel don't train that to US police - but Maxine wasn't totally wrong.

Boris Johnson will now push Academy Schools further.

Already 9000+ schools and 4 Million kids.

A £66 Billion asset transfer to the private sector.

Many of Boris's donors are Multi-Academy Trust CEO's.

Believe me it's coming - Cummings was the guru of Academisation in 2010.
All Academisation CEO's and all big donors to Boris

Lord Philip Harris
David Ross (who arranged Boris's Christmas get away)
Jon Moynihan (part of Institute for Economic Affairs)

search.electoralcommission.org.uk/?currentPage=1…
"Some of Britain’s richest men have deployed their wealth, power and influence to push Brexit, shrink the state and take education out of public hands."

Many donating directly to Boris Johnson. Michael Gove alongside Cummings organised this push in 2010
