Labour has every reason to go after the far fringes, not least because that is where it will find enemies, not friends.

Consider last Friday’s anti-Israel in demonstration in Bradford, organised by Arshad Ali. See him rail about Bradford’s Labour-controlled council. 1/8

The council “created every obstacle they could” for the rally, he claims. “We refuse! We stand in solidarity with Mr Corbyn!”

He adds that he has been rejected by Labour (good!) and is "in exile".

Well, the council was right to be concerned, if Ali’s claims are true. 2/8

At one point, the disgraced former MP and awful antisemite David Ward was listed as a speaker at this rally. So was "Lowkey" (TBC), a raging Hamas fan and ridiculous 9/11 truther. 3/8

In the end, the crowd had to make do with the nasty Islamist activist Salma Yaqoob, among others. Corbyn chatted amiably with her at the event. 4/8

Mind you, though, Arshad Ali does try hard. In the clip, he says "we welcome Mr Galloway, sorry, Mr Corbyn to Bradford". He stumbled because he was one of Galloway's key Bradford "Respect" wreckers. And yes, he too is an antisemite. 5/8

So no wonder he is bitter. Very bitter. Happily for Arshad, that Jeremy balm does soothe. 6/8

Labour has turned a blind eye to its people speaking at countless Israel hatred events, from early May right up to this rally. Even though the movement brims with people who have nothing but contempt for today's party. 7/8

You see, the frontbencher Imran Hussain MP and Richard Burgon MP did speak at the rally.

The fringe proscription move, if overdue, is very welcome. But action is needed all the way up to the PLP level if Labour is truly to extricate itself from Corbynism's hateful swamp. 8/8

Zionism was probably something of a mystery to many people on 6 October 2023. Two and a half years of hatred have been quite an education. So the ugly messages at the “Quds Day” protest in London yesterday should come into sharp relief.

Jews as corrupters is ancient poison. 1/8

Zionists range from committed leftists to the hard right. So wherever you are on the political spectrum, you probably have Zionist fellows. And we are talking about the vast majority of Jews when it comes to Zionism in general.

Do you want them to be "destroyed"? 2/8

Nefarious Jewish control is another ancient hatred theme. Swapping in "Zionism" changes nothing. We see you. 3/8

At the "Quds Day" protest in London today, the cover of the poison well was well and truly pulled back. Stare into the abyss to know the hatred.

Here, Nazim Ali of the self-styled "Islamic Human Rights Commission" leads "death to America and Israel!" chants in Urdu after... 1/9

...a salute to the "great martyr" Khamenei.

On to Abbas Edalat. Nuremberg, circa 1933? No, London 2026. “The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumour that has to be stopped.” “A gangster like tic.” “The totality of all that is evil in humanity.” Go regime! 2/9

Ghassan Kanafani of the PFLP terrorist group - infamous for hijackings and airport slaughter - is invoked by a "poet". A racist message follows. "Peace is the white man's word. Liberation is our word."

Peace initiatives? No! 3/9

“Oh, the oppression!”, they wail, as the “Quds Day” march is banned. No. The regime’s servants have abused London for decades now. This is long overdue.

This photograph was taken in 1994! Walk back up the hatred trail to see how awful it has been. 1/8

These images are also from 1994. Starting out as they meant to carry on. Nothing was hidden.

"Death"? Oh yes. Their Hamas heroes were already suicide bombing Israeli civilians at the time. 2/8

“We are all Hezbollah!” “Blood and guns” for Lebanon. Massoud Shadjareh, founder of the “Quds Day” organisers, the self-styled “Islamic Human Rights Commission”, is draped in a Hezbollah flag. Tel Aviv is threatened. This was 2006.

See how joyful they are. They love it. 3/8

Who's up for an iftar with Hamas UK? Hate march leaders Ben Jamal, Director of the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign", and Chris Nineham of "Stop the War". The Green Party too.

Who else is at this table at the event staged by the "Palestinian Forum in Britain", a front for... 1/x

...Hamas and one of the six main UK hate march organisers, on 28 February? Second from left, Adnan Hmidan, a Hamas operative in the UK. You will often find him at the head of London hate marches, including the rally for the Iranian regime last Saturday. 2/10

Hmidan openly backed the Hamas atrocities of 7 October 2023.

On the left of the photo, you'll see Ziad El-Aloul, another Hamas operative of some importance. He is a key figure in the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, another Hamas front. 3/10

Yesterday the Green MP Hannah Spencer joined the nastiest far left contingent in Manchester - the SWP and their fraud "Stand Up To Racism" - to speak against "hatred and division". Tee hee! Look at them, shouting for the annihilation of Israel.

Filmed by It's Only Hugo. 1/4

Hurling abuse. Trans screaming. To, ahem, mark International Women's Day. This is what they are like. 2/4

It's this kind of crowd. Communist dictatorship and the PFLP terrorist Ghassan Kanafani. Hurrah! Lovely. 3/4

Another ugly episode at yesterday's anti-Israel protest in London, possibly presaging what will happen in the capital next Sunday, when the self-styled "Islamic Human Rights Commission" will stage its "Quds Day" hatred rally.

From 1:00, see Raza Kazim, an IHRC charity... 1/4

...trustee, shouting "Khamenei makes us proud!".

Of course he hails the Supreme Leader of the evil regime. And what a typical IHRC crowd. Abuse for the police. Hatred for Arab leaders. The “I back Hamas” triangle gesture. “Allahu akbar!” Cries for Israel’s annihilation. 2/4
