"One rule for them" rightly riles so many, as we are seeing in politics today.
So Labour's moves against haters must aim high too. "Labour Against the Witchhunt" sponsor Ken Loach, for example.
This alone should do: standing up for the awful Bristol professor David Miller. 1/9
Or this. Chris Williamson has chosen the deepest pits of antisemitic hatred. Loach has his back. 2/9
Marc Wadsworth too. Loach *after* Wadsworth was expelled from the Labour party:
"Marc has an honourable record as a principled campaigner against racism and injustice. We should demand that his case be reopened." 3/9
You see, the Labour party's antisemitism crisis is naught but "terrible smears", "an atrocious lie".
Jackie Walker is "decent, honourable, principled".
"The smears are made to inhibit criticism of Israel." 4/9
While the Israeli ambassador to the Court of St James's is nothing less than "a close contender for the Joseph Goebbels award for lying propaganda". Kick the Nazi out! Victory to the Palestinians! 5/9
Loach certainly has prominent friends in Labour. John McDonnell, for example.
Jeremy Corbyn likes Loach so much that he added him to the launch video for his "project". 7/9
And who does Loach loathe in Labour? No surprise here. Vocal opponents of antisemitism in the party. Kick them out too. 8/9 bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…
Do the right thing, Labour. 9/9

Last weekend, "Light Upon Light" conferences were held in London and Birmingham. "Blight Upon Blight" would be better. Both lengthy events focused almost exclusively on Israel.
Calls for peace? No. Prayers for a "Palestinian victory". Here's Yaha Raaby. With Hamas on its... 1/8
...knees and Gaza in misery as the terrorists take to torturing and murdering their own people.
The delusion is remarkable and disturbing.
Here's another plea, this time from Ali Hammuda. 2/8
Hammuda is a fever dreamer. He really does believe that ultimate victory is assured and that "the Zionist superstructure is collapsing". Prepare for a “post-Zionism era”.
There is a problem with crime, by the way. That is Eran Cohen of the CWU trade union, the day *after* the racist vandal group "Palestine Action" was proscribed. 2/6
Gross conspiracy theories once the preserve of the racist far right are popular among "progressives" these days.
London is a "bastion against hate", London's mayor says.
Let's see what's up today at the Royal Courts of Justice. Oh. "Zionists not welcome in the UK! Out, out!" "Zionist scum off our streets!"
"Have you been shooting babies in Gaza!"
Ah, a normal day in the capital.
The obligatory frenzied shouting for the ethnic cleansing of Israeli Jews.
"Palestine is Arab, Israel is a thief, Zionists, out, out!"
As desperate Gazans chant "Hamas, out, out!"
London is a bastion OF hate.
Nageena Naz is a Leeds "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" hate marcher. She was arrested at their protest last Saturday. She likes abusing Jews in the street. She also faces charges for allegedly joining a "Palestine Action" attack on Barclays.
Who would back creeps who attack the RAF? Meet protesters in London yesterday. Let’s start with Ayoub Khan MP.
Just throw any old words out there. It's a "disgrace!". Nothing less than a "shame on British democracy!".
He goes on to sound like a... 1/9
...distinctly unimpressive SOAS student. Israel's fight with Iran? A devious “smokescreen”.
It's just so silly. No, if you want a civil nuclear programme, as energy-rich Iran claims it does, you do not need a hall of centrifuges hidden deep inside a mountain. For starters. 2/9
In a grotesque move, Saeed Taji Farouky of Palestine Action invoked Cable Street.
Only to reveal just why it is grotesque himself. The white racist far right in America popularised the "we are occupied too" line. "Zionist are in control", you see. He offered an Arabic echo. 3/9
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.
