Arshad Ali is the organiser of this Friday’s Israel hatred rally in Bradford, featuring Jeremy Corbyn, Richard Burgon and Labour councillor Jennifer Lynn.
He is an excellent man for the “Stop the War Coalition” job. So excellent that it is difficult to count the ways. 1/11
Here he is promoting a crazed tirade against America and Israel by Leo Muhammad of the Nation of Islam. Hatred takes Muhammad so far that he salutes the tyrant Saddam Hussein, a “strong man for his people”, and backs Iraqis cutting Western forces “into tiny little pieces”. 2/11
Speaking of the indefatigable Saddam, Ali is a big fan of George Galloway. He chaired the Bradford “Respect” party and was a leading organiser for Viva Palestina, Galloway’s Hamas support operation. 3/11
Here he is behind Galloway at a Viva Palestina meeting in Syria, where the tyrannical regime aided the convoy. The man at the microphone is the Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook. On the wings are Hamas UK operatives Mohammed Sawalha (left end of table) and Zaher Birawi (right). 4/11
Onwards! How about top rank crank Norman Finkelstein abusing a young woman who is already visibly upset by Nazi comparisons? Brought to you by a Russian propaganda platform? “Shut up!” says Finkelstein. "No more crocodile tears!" Yay! 5/11
More horrid abuse, this time of Michael Oren, a former Israeli ambassador to the United States. It was orchestrated by Muslim students at the University of California at Irvine. Hurrah! They were suspended, the brave souls. 6/11
And more Nazis. TruNews is a far-right American conspiracy and hatred outfit. Here is its founder, Rick Wiles, saying Israelis act like Nazis. Brilliant!
Wiles has been permanently banned from YouTube. 7/11
And more! Erdogan is of course a hero to arch haters. 8/11
Ah, inspiration! Moroccans calling on Arabs to fight “the greedy Jews”! 9/11
Ali certainly does like posting pretty pictures on social media. 10/11
Labour treated us to a great big song and dance about how awful George Galloway is during the Batley campaign. I couldn't agree more.
But the truth is that some of its people are perfectly willing to work with one of his biggest fanboys, all for the cause of Israel hatred. 11/11

Ah. No. The charity was obviously aligned with jihadis at the time. This was not hard to figure out. And the times were very fraught indeed, as British jihadists flocked to Syria to join its most extreme terrorist groups.
The elation is special, though, when you can taunt Jews with Nazi slurs. Look at the joy on this woman's face at the Israel hatred rally in London last Saturday.
The well of poison is deep. This protest alone will show you. 1/6
Nazi salutes? Sure! Or should I say "naturlich!".
They are common now at "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" hatred rallies.
Here are two known ones from last Saturday, both aimed at counter-protesting Jews and Iranian exiles. 2/6
"End the Holocaust"
Oh, more abuse of the Warsaw Ghetto memory.
No, a Jewish fig leaf (a stain, actually) doesn’t make it OK.
Nazi coffin creep was there too last Saturday. He's a regular, always welcome. 3/6
Defending police actions at this ugly rally, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has said:
"If you had a pro-Israel protest going on and a couple of Palestinian supporters walked into the middle of it and waved flags, we’d hoick them out of it as well.”
Last October at the JW3 Centre in London. This wasn't even a rally. Just a conference about Israeli politics, attracting a number of liberal types.
Some of London's worst - and already known - extremists descended on it to abuse Jews to their faces.
There were no arrests. 2/6
Then there's the Swiss Cottage story. For many months, the Met "facilitated" protests in the London neighbourhood. The sole aim was to abuse and intimidate the numerous Jews who live there on the eve of the sabbath.
"Cutting down ribbons for the hostages, are we? That's OK." 3/6
What to do with Jews who were at risk of being lynched?
Detain them and threaten them with arrest for breaching the peace. Welcome to London, that "bastion against hate", in 2025.
This happened at yesterday's hatred rally for racist vandals. 1/4
Here's the "Zionist scum!" baying mob.
The capital has been handed over to ghouls like this. They set the rules on who can go where and what they are allowed to do. The Met helps them do that.
Cries for Israel's annihilation ring out.
So, has the Met apologised? No, of... 2/4
...course not. In fact, the Commissioner has berated the victims.
This is where we are. Mob rule by racists. Creeps shouting for terror, just about every day. Nazi-grade antisemitism.
