Speaking on an Islamic TV channel this month, the Labour front bench MP Sam Tarry offers a masterclass in grubby communal politics in pursuit of his interests.
Faith first. What is happening in Israel is simply "disgraceful" in Ramadan, he declares. 1/10

He finds it "one of the most unjust conflicts in the entire planet".
In the dark world of Syria, Yemen, Xinjiang, Taliban advances, Russian depredations from Ukraine to our shores, Iran's malicious ventures abroad, Myanmar, no, it's Israel.
Of course it is. To the streets! 2/10

He bangs on about al-Aqsa as if the violence came out of the blue, with no cause. Stone throwers don't merit a mention. Leave the poor dears out of this.
You really don't have to be a fan of Israeli policing to wonder here. 3/10

He also brandishes his own seven visits to Palestine. That priceless far-left talisman.
He even says he joined an "occupy" demonstration in Israel. I don't think he would much appreciate a Knesset member doing something like that here, somehow. 4/10

"If you keep people caged like animals, then how can you expect them to behave", he sneers.
Casting out time. "Any people with good conscience can see that this is absolutely wrong."
Israel will be a "pariah state", you see.
"They always use a sledgehammer to crush a nut" 5/10

...he says of a state that warns where it will strike ahead of time to protect civilians.
In sum, he demands that Israel face "consequences" for its "inhumane" and "barbaric" behaviour.
And Hamas? The terrorists who do target civilians, Arab and Jew alike? Nothing at all. 6/10

He doesn't even mention the terror group in a 12 minute clip. All Israel, all the time - that's Labour 2021.
And antisemitism? Nothing.
In fact, he urges people to join the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign", a lead organiser of the racist rallies we have seen across Britain. 7/10

Be local too. The Ilford massive will free Palestine, oh yes. Here they are, trooping to London on 22 May to a rally that saw horrific speeches for Hamas. 8/10
And here is Tarry's own speech to the rally on 22 May. Completely one-sided, not a bit crazed.
Note too Ismail Patel of "Friends of al-Aqsa", a friend of antisemites, up to and including David Miller, a supporter of Hamas, and on stage. 9/10

Tarry does all this because he thinks it shores up his local position.
What Labour needs to ponder is what other people elsewhere will make of these ugly politics as a huge wave of vicious antisemitism disgraces the nation. 10/10
