With the student protest against @TzipiHotovely at LSE being roundly attacked by both the Israel lobby and the British government, here's a thread reminder of the Israeli ambassador's long record of far-right extremism 🧵👇
In May @TzipiHotovely was the star speaker at a Zionist demonstration in support of the Israeli embassy in London at which participants called for Palestinian villages to be burned and chanted in support of the genocidal Rabbi Meir Kahane electronicintifada.net/content/london…
Last year @TzipiHotovely called the Nakba, the well-documented 1948 expulsion of 800,000 Palestinians "a popular Arab lie": middleeasteye.net/news/uk-israel…
Israeli ambassador @TzipiHotovely claims there's "no Palestinian people" and has a decades-long track record of support for the West Bank's most violent extremists. She calls for Palestinian homes to be demolished or emptied to make way for Jewish settlers electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
As well as Palestinians, @TzipiHotovely also hates Jews. In 2019 she made this disgustingly anti-Semitic video in which Jewish supporters of Palestinian equality are smeared as being motivated by money: “Oy vey! My German Euros!” electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
Israeli ambassador @TzipiHotovely is such a far-right extremist that she has even called for Israel to invade Jordan and Syria: "We must not settle for preserving what exists" pushing for "the state of Israel expanding” its borders: electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
Despite all this (or because of all this) both the Tory government and Labour opposition have welcomed genocidal Israeli racist @TzipiHotovely with open arms: electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
With such a violently racist ambassador being invited to speak at LSE, it's no wonder that students like @LSEforPalestine didn't want her on campus

Breaking: A leaked document shows that the lawyer @BristolUni instructed to investigate David Miller totally exonerated him of anti-Semitism or any other wrongdoing 🧵👇 electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
The lawyer found that Professor David Miller "had no case to answer". Despite this @BristolUni bowed to the dictates of Israel and its lobby and fired him anyway.
The leaked document also proves that the complaint against Miller was instigated by Israel lobby groups the @CST_UK and @UJS_UK -- not by "terrified" students on campus.

Here's a few things detailed in my latest article, about Labour conference 🧵👇

Shadow foreign minister @lisanandy was given a massive round of applause by Labour Friends of Israel for undermining the @PSCupdates motion against Israeli apartheid

electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
Addressing Labour Friends of Israel at their annual reception, @lisanandy promised the lobby group she would "always, always, always" stand with them -- and said the Corbyn era was a "nightmare" now ended

electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
Nandy applauded as veteran Israel lobbyist @LouiseEllman boasted that Labour members who oppose Labour Friends of Israel have now "been defeated".

Here's @OwenJones84, yet again, fuelling Labour's McCarthyist purge of socialists and Palestine solidarity activists.

Owen Jones is a willing lackey of the Israel lobby. Thread: 🧵👇 Image
Owen Jones -- as usual -- wants to have it both ways. He claims not to "support" expulsion of @KenLoachSixteen, yet in the same breath implies expulsion was correct -- because a play he directed in 1987 expressed Forbidden Criticism of Zionism (Israel's racist official ideology).
Owen Jones even has the chutzpah to imply @KenLoachSixteen -- who was a socialist when Jones was still in nappies -- is not really even "someone on the left"!

The legal unit of @UKLabour wrote to us demanding censorship of my (totally accurate and uncontested) reporting about their racist anti-Palestinian (and anti-Semitic) officials. We told them where to go:

You can read the original article here which, despite @UKLabour's demands, we have refused to change to suit their whims:

Jewish Voice for Labour (@JVoiceLabour) responds to @UKLabour's censorship attempts, calling "utterly undemocratic" and saying it infantilises Jewish members: jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/labour…

Breaking: @jeremycorbyn suspended from Labour for his blandly factual statement today: "the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media"
What a disgrace. But many, many of @jeremycorbyn's supporters warned him since 2016 this day was coming.

Instead he listened to siren voices on the fake left who successfully steered him onto a political suicidal course of indulging the smears.

What a pity.
What this goes to show is what we've been saying all along: it's useless and damaging to indulge these smears and pretend there is a major "anti-Semitism problem" when there isn't one.

But some people will never learn it seems.

Breaking: the EHRC has failed to find Labour "institutionally anti-Semitic" as requested by the @JewishLabour Movement in its referral last year.
Breaking: the EHRC, after a 17-month investigation into alleged institutional anti-Semitism has found only TWO cases of what it says were "unlawful acts" towards Jews.
Here's the *key* quote from the EHRC report: it shows what this deeply compromised pro-Tory body considers to be "anti-Semitic harassment of Jews".

The smear campaign against critics of Israel has always had this insane circular logic.
