1/10 @UKLabour Glyn Secker is a JVL leader.

He is Secretary of JVL and also Secretary of their more openly anti-Zionist sister organisation, Free Speech On Israel
2/10 He spoke at the recent anti Israel rally about Jerusalem, where people chanted for the murder of Jews and for their blood to be eaten while swastikas were waved
3/10 He was also part of a group that attacked the Jewish chronicle for pointing out Jeremy Corbyn's links to antisemites thejc.com/news/uk-news/a…
4/10 Secker heckled JLM (Jewish Labour Movement) vice chair Mike Katz when he talked about cracking down on Labour antisemitism.

Secker described it as 'thought police' and said anti-Semitism is being used as a “weapon” to attack Jeremy Corbyn m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/anti-sem…
5/10 Secker is a repeat antisemitism denier. He openly supported antisemitic JVL member Jackie Walker, who has made a career out of baiting the Jewish community freespeechonisrael.org.uk/jewish-labour-…
6/10 So it's no surprise Secker wrote an article for JVL opposing the definition of antisemitism adopted by Labour (and most other organisations) jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/jvl/glyn-secke…
7/10 And it's no surprise that Secker wrote a gushing review of the deeply antisemitic book by Suarez 'State of Terror’

8/10 Secker was Captain of a 'Jewish' Boat to Gaza that tried to enter Israeli waters illegally. Like any state protecting their waters it was intercepted. With almost no restrictions on goods to Gaza at the time, Secker's boat carried 'symbolic aid'
richardmillett.wordpress.com/tag/glyn-secke…
9/10 JVL leaders deploy their Jewishness destructively. In true JVL style, the boat was given a Jewish identity to deflect from its true agenda. It carried no aid because it was purely cynical propaganda

In Secker's world antisemitism is invented but non-existent aid is real
10/10 The JVL mission is for their topsy turvy worldview to dominate, where the 1% fringe speaks for the the 99% of Jews, where antisemitism becomes anti racism and where antisemites become activists

.@uklabour 1/3 Anna Elliot peddles far right antisemitic conspiracy theories reminiscent of David Icke and Neo-Nazis. You’ll never guess who she ❤️
2/3 She is a huge fan of JVL. That’s because they exist to provide cover for Labour antisemites just like her. People like Anna are members of JVL.
3/3 This is why some of the most notorious antisemitic accounts also support ‘JVL jews.’ JVL are also supported by @jeremycorbyn, who calls them ‘good people.’

.@uklabour 1/3 *EXCLUSIVE* JVL member Jackie Walker comes out in support of David Icke. It makes a mockery of JVL’s encouragement of Momentum’s protest against him. Walker scolds people calling Icke antisemitic.

Will JVL act knowing their members support David Icke?
2/3 Walker also reveals JVL don’t ‘organisationally’ object to Icke as it’s ‘not politically important enough.’ She highlights the stark truth - JVL don’t really object to antisemitism. Quite the opposite...
3/3 JVL help antisemites like Walker. Not only a JVL member, Walker was vice-chair of Momentum, recently setup Grassroots Momentum and now runs JVL’s affiliated group, ‘Labour Against the Witch Hunt.’ She is one of @jeremycorbyn’s ‘Jewish voices’

.@uklabour 1/9 JVL member spotlight: getting to know JVL member Justin Schlosberg. He’s a senior lecturer of journalism and media at Birkbeck University.

And he has things in common with Chris Williamson...
2/9 Schlosberg fully supports and promotes JVL’s position of defending Labour MP Chris Williamson, who was recently boycotted by some Labour organisations because of his notoriously antisemitic activities. (More on Williamson here jewknowblog.wordpress.com/2018/12/03/cor…)
3/9 Schlosberg blames Labour’s antisemitism crisis on the ‘right wing jewish lobby.’ He accuses Jews of maliciously fabricating antisemitism claims for a political conspiracy. H/t @AdamWagner1

A column from me in The @NYPost: in Britain we saw the consequences of Labour's "pas d’ennemis à gauche" (no enemies on the Left) stance; if the Democrats don't start isolating their radicals there's no reason it can't go the same way. nyp.st/2LOdKi7
Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader "despite a massive smear campaign by Britain’s Zio-establishment", said David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. "It’s a really good ... when people are beginning to recognise Zionist power". thetimes.co.uk/article/former…
Not convinced this from Corbyn in The @Guardian will assuage the doubts. He doubles down on the changes Labour made to the IHRA definition of antisemitism; all about ensuring free speech (to criticise #Israel), you see. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

These are the organisations that contributed towards the Chakrabarti report. This is the first time I looked over the groups, I presume that someone did at the time. There are of course interested parties like the Board of Deputies, but also a number of unusual & unsavoury groups
For example who are 'Brighton and Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign'?
Here's where they link to Tony Greenstein's hate-filled blog. Tony lives in Brighton does he have any other links to them? What input did they have into the report?

Just to state the obvious: This is largest confrontation between #Israel and #Syria since 1973; the first time #Iran and the IRGC themselves launched missiles at #Israel. Expect even more.
With all the targeting in Damascus #Syria, expect #Israel to go after the main IRGC headquarters near the Damascus Airport. Around 1,000 IRGC tend to be stationed there, along with senior leadership.
Suggestion: If you thought what the US did in response to the April CW attack in #Syria was strong, fasten your seat belts.

A recent Pew poll indicates a staggering divergence in views on #Israel vs the Arabs of Palestine between Republicans and Democrats in America. Increasingly, Israel is becoming a one-party, Republican, issue. How and why did this happen? THREAD city-journal.org/html/israel-pa…
The largely Democratic American Jewish political establishment argues the Trump admin through its #Jerusalem capital recognition/embassy move decisions and beyond are cynically acting as staunchly pro-#Israel, "politicizing" the issue. Pew says otherwise city-journal.org/html/israel-pa…
According to the Pew poll on American views on #Israel vs. Arabs of Palestine, not just conservatives, but every group of American voters surveyed supports Israel over the Palestinians by a wide margin—with the single exception of “liberal Democrats.” city-journal.org/html/israel-pa…

There follows a thread - as i sort of promised yesterday - on @JVoiceLabour , @FreeSpeechOnIsr and Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi.

The first thing to note is that @jeremycorbyn in his role as Leader of @UKLabour has endorsed JVL. Hold on to that thought.
JVL and FSOI are owned/managed by the same group of people: Naomi WI, Jonathan Rosenhead, Glyn Secker & Mike Cushman. See Companies House listings and JVL officers page below.

They are clearly just 2 "brands" for the same organisation.
Last week i appeared on @bbcbigquestions along with Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi of FSOI and JVL. The debate was on Left wing antisemitism.

I opened by reading out some examples of antisemitic social media posts, including from members of NWI's own group - Free Speech on Israel.

A thread from me on the stupidity of Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi from the poisonous "Jewish Voice for Labour" group now endorsed by the @UKLabour leadership.
Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi of “Jewish Voice for Labour” has posted an account of the debate on Left wing antisemitism that we each took part in last Sunday on BBC1’s The Big Questions. jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/antisemitism/b…
It's a less than devastating attack. But worth pointing out the stupidity of her comments.

Firstly, she says that i cited anonymous tweets - i did no such thing.
