Labour councillor and former leader of Blaenau Gwent Council, Hedley McCarthy, believes that Keir Starmer is a "puppet" of the Board of Deputies who raises concerns about #antisemitism as a "sponsored question from his financiers", to please the "people with the money strings". ImageImageImageImage
Cllr Hedley McCarthy shares antisemitic posts by Jackie Walker (she was lying - most of the people listed did in fact condemn the far-right actions mentioned). He recommends antisemitism denialist organisation Labour Against the Witchhunt's submission to the Forde Enquiry. ImageImage
Cllr Hedley McCarthy is concerned that @UKLabour has become the "Netanyahu Labour Party of the UK" and that the party's representatives are "kissing his butt" (Bibi's). ImageImage
Cllr Hedley McCarthy runs a Facebook group called 'The Daily Fib', which is supposedly dedicated to "exposing political whoppers" but dominated by antisemitic conspiracists who attribute nearly every problem to 'Zionists'. ImageImage
But, hey, Hedley McCarthy is only a serving Labour councillor and the former leader of Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council! I reported him to Labour HQ some months ago but see no sign that any action has been taken. He still appears to take the Labour whip at council. ImageImageImage

Jeremy David Parker is a Green Party candidate hoping to represent Newton & Valley ward on Sandwell Council on 7 May. Parker's X timeline is a study in modern antisemitic tropes. Here are some of the clearest, by category. 🧵 1/14 Image
Image
The recurring theme of Jez Parker's account is the conspiracy theory that Zionists secretly control Western politicians. Trump, Starmer, Jenrick, Farage, Lowe — for Parker, all "puppets", "owned", "paid", or "controlled" by Israel. Lord Balfour too, retrospectively. 2/14 Image
Image
Parker extends this conspiracy to the media. Journalists are "paid" by Israel; critics are "paid trolls of the Israeli government"; the "paymasters of the British media" dictate the line. The classic "Jewish press" conspiracy theory, with "Zionist" swapped in for "Jew". 3/14 Image

Newcastle Green Party election candidate Tina Ion’s racist anti-Jewish and anti-Afghan posts are shocking enough, but she is also behind a spoof Anne Frank account on Meta’s Threads platform that takes her antisemitic bile to another level altogether. 🧵 1/4Image
Image
Image
Using the handle “thereal.anne.frank”, Tina Ion has posted a series of Nazi-grade rants demanding “Israel must be eradicated. Even if it means killing every single Zionist.” She declares: “They are vermin. And vermin needs eliminated [sic] so it can’t harm children.” 2/4 Image

Image
The Greens’ candidate for Newcastle City Council’s Blakelaw & Cowgate ward mocks Israeli Jews, claiming that “Even when death’s a good chance they won’t skip a bargain”, and shares explicit fantasies about how she would like to see them die. 3/4 Image

George Galloway has threatened to sue @HopeNotHate over a flyer distributed in #Rochdale. Leaving aside the claim about supporting dictators, is it true that “His Workers Party is full of antisemites, racists and conspiracy theorists”? Let’s look at its election candidates. 1/20Image
WPB's #Chesterfield candidate Julie Lowe claims Jews engage in child sacrifice & plot with Freemasons, Satanists & paedophiles to take power & establish a New World Order. She disputes that 6m Jews were murdered in the Holocaust & reckons the Rothschilds bombed the Titanic. 2/20Image
Image
Image
Contesting #DundeeCentral, in Galloway's home city, for the Workers Party is Raymond Mennie. His career as a Labour councillor ended when he was jailed for corruption in public office. Now he's a 9/11 Truther who promotes almost every antisemitic conspiracy theory going. 3/20Image

THREAD: George Galloway really has excelled himself this time. His @WorkersPartyGB have selected a Nazi-grade antisemite to fight #GE2024 in #PoplarAndLimehouse. Introducing Kamran Khan ... 1/6Workers Party post promoting Kamran Khan's election campaign
Image
Image
Kamran Khan's X account was created only a year ago, since when his timeline has been a torrent of hate, promoting explicit Jew-hatred and Holocaust minimisation, amplifying neo-Nazi influencers and mocking victims of the October 7 attacks. 2/6


Kamran shares a post with a Google logo modified to say "Jewgle" and the comment "I'll saw [sic] the quiet part out loud".
Kamran Khan shares a meme captioned "Can you make it illegal for jews to suck baby penis? Best I can do is make it a felony for you to tell people".
Kamran Khan shares a meme depicting a caricatured Jewish man (with the Star of David his head to make sure we know he's a Jew) saying to a Christian: "I hate you with every fiber of my being". The Christian replies: "I know, I read the Talmud."
Kamran Khan shares a meme that depicts a man saying "Aww, those poor Jews were so persecuted" and then, five hours later, having researched the topic on the internet, the same man is shown wearing a Nazi uniform, implying that what he learned about Jewish people has convinced him of the National Socialists' ideology.
If you don't recognise the antisemitism in the posts below - shared by Kamran Khan and portraying Jews as responsible for "debt slavery", privileged and powerful, a danger to children and to blame for their own persecution - then you never will. 3/6

Kamran Khan shares post by neo-Nazi Jory Micah agreeing with the claim that the United States is "controlled by a Jewish mafia".

THREAD: Let no one accuse George Galloway’s @WorkersPartyGB of #antisemitism. No siree. Akil Kata, prospective parliamentary candidate for #CardiffWest, says he is a brother to Jewish people - but only the “real Jews”, “true Jews” who denounce “so-called” Israel and Zionism. /1

Image
Image
Image
He’s not so keen on Jews who feel an affinity with Israel. Zionists, as “Zoinests” as he calls them, are apparently worse than Nazis, have “funded every side of every war since the American Civil War”, control our education and own the media, banks and pharmaceutical industry. /2

Image
Image
Image
Akil Kata believes that these incredibly powerful Zionists - or is it “the Jewish lobby”? - control American and British governments and politicians as “puppets”, and that both the Conservative and Labour parties are “slaves” of Israel. /3

Thread: A few days ago, I highlighted the #antisemitism and Holocaust denial of Phil Oakland of Ilkeston. His posts suggested he might be a member of the Communist Party of Britain so I contacted them via Twitter. Soon after they DM’ed me promising to investigate urgently. 1/4
I received a statement from CPB general secretary Rob Griffiths confirming that Oakland had been a member until 2021, when his subs lapsed: “Had he still been a member when his social media posts came to [our] notice, he would have been suspended pending an investigation … 2/4 ImageImage
“… and expelled, for advocating positions fundamentally opposed to the CP’s Marxist-Leninist outlook and policy and for serious misconduct that brought the Party in disrepute.” 3/4 Image
