Jews can't even be murdered in their millions without the disgusting racists who joined the Labour Party in recent years suggesting they are somehow being afforded special privilege because of it or using it to gain advantage. #HolocaustMemorialDay #HMD2022
See, for example, the many antisemitic comments about Margaret Hodge's @LabourList article on #HolocaustMemorialDay. It seems that Nick West here, just one of many such commenters, is a full-time communications officer for my union, @unitetheunion.

Nick West's posts are vile. This cannot be allowed to go on. How can a Unite full-timer get away with this? He said these things publicly so can't complain about being called out for them. I hope that @UniteEqualities will follow up this matter. @UniteSharon @SteveT_Unite

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

Phil Oakland's Facebook timeline is so full of vile #antisemitism and Holocaust denial dressed up as support for Palestinians that public exposure really isn't enough. I've reported him to @DerbysPolice for incitement to racial hatred and breaching the Communications Act 2003. ImageImageImageImage
Of course, a racist like Phil Oakland was bound to be an admirer of David Icke and Gilad Atzmon, wasn’t he? He also appears to be a member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and a supporter of the Communist Party of Britain. Not that either organisation would endorse his views. ImageImageImageImage
I decided to give Phil Oakland some constructive feedback on his antisemitic social media posts. #antisemitism ImageImage

Solicitor Michael Walton quit the Labour Party a year ago claiming that concerns about antisemitism were a "cynical ploy" based on "ludicrous, exaggerated, and in fact fabricated, allegations". Which he proved by repeatedly addressing female Jewish Labour politicians as "bitch".
Michael Walton says how dare I accuse him of either antisemitism or misogyny.
Supposed socialist repeatedly abuses female Jewish members of his own political party as 'bitches' and 'witches' because they raised concerns about antisemitism and then accuses me of ruining his life for criticising him about it.

THREAD: Glynis Millward, who goes on Crispin Flintoff's alt-left show to give "top advice" on how to respond to being suspended by the Labour Party, repeats a common theme among antisemitism denialists by challenging me to report her to the police. /1
And when I say repeats, I really do mean that. Gaslighting Glynis says the same thing again and again to people who raise concerns about antisemitism in the Labour Party, insinuating that their experiences can't be genuine if they haven't reported them as hate crimes. /2
That's a ridiculous response to complaints about anti-Jewish racism because antisemitism is not illegal in and of itself. Nor are other forms of racism. Some expressions of antisemitic sentiment, such as incitement to racial hatred, are unlawful, but most are not. /3

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

Maginn's article should be renamed "10 strawmen". It cites oversimplified claims about antisemitism in the Labour Party and refutes them. But he chose them BECAUSE they were inaccurate. Eg, Chris Williamson wasn't suspended over Nick Robinson's tweet. The tweet came after. >>
>> A better summary of the problems with Chris Williamson's conduct is provided by Daniel Sugarman's article below and that was written before Williamson's numerous antisemitic statements since he left the Labour Party. >> thejc.com/comment/analys…
>> As the EHRC report revealed, Labour's disputes panel found that Chris Williamson had "engaged in conduct online and offline that ... was grossly detrimental to the Party" and "may reasonably be seen to involve antisemitic sentiments, stereotypes and actions". >> Image
