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

London, 18 January 2025. The "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" deliberately defies police orders not to march up Whitehall. Nasty scuffles ensue. 77 were arrested on the day.
What did senior Labour figures have to say about this abuse of the capital?
Nothing at all. 1/8
Know what they were ignoring. The usual chants for racist terrorists bent on genocide for the Jews, directed here at counter-protesters.
"Watch your back!"
Just up the road from Prime Minister Starmer's home.
Key march leaders were later charged with public order offences. 2/8
"Zionist scum!"
Abuse for the police. "Go to hell!" "Shut the f**k up!" "You're finished!" They struggled to regain control from the mob.
"We will march!", when the police had repeatedly told them it was not allowed. 3/8
Some MPs are concerned about the progress of the flotilla for Hamas. I can reassure them. They're in fine form. Buoyant, even. Here they are in Tunis, with Saint Greta present.
The "river to the sea" cry for Israel's annihilation and "Israel will never be!". Hurrah! 1/7
Followed by the treasured ethnic cleansing chants. "Free Palestine, Zionists, out, out!" Hey, just like at home in the UK. Wonderful!
Even better, here are the "death!" chants after a "defeat Zionism!" call. A proper British triumph. Remember to thank the BBC. 2/7
Let's do the ethnic cleansing chants again. We really like them.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine is Arab! Zionists, out, out!"
You're a GP in a spot of bother because you insist on wearing a Palestine pin and a keffiyeh headband at work. You also have a Palestinian flag in your office.
What do you do?
Tamara Ali has chosen to welcome "fight Zionists" support from the ultra racist David Miller. 1/6
Another supporter she promotes is George Galloway groupie Hussain Shafei. He too is a repulsive hater. 2/6
The disgusting antisemite Rehiana Ali is another backer Tamara Ali welcomes.
Rehiana is very upset about the UK being "occupied" by Jews. She's scared that there are "undeclared" Jews in Parliament. She likes Hamas and Holocaust slurs. Now there's a fine supporter. 3/6
Islam Channel, an extremist platform, has some wonderful fans. Today, it posted footage of the terrorist attack in Jerusalem.
How did they react? 1/4
With waves of the most disgusting hatred.
"Good job." "More!" "May Allah grant the great freedom fighters paradise." "Amazing." "Well done good shooting." "How many cleaned from the face of the earth?"
Some perverse "inside job" insanity.
Right down to the Nazi level. 2/4
"That's how you protect your homeland and house." "That's how you know you don't belong there."
"This was promised to them 3000 years ago." Spin that as "just anti-Zionist".
Abundant "hot", heart eyes, clapping and laughing emojis. More rats. 3/4
