1/15 @UKLabour A thread about another peculiar JVL antisemite, Cyril Chilson

Why would Chilson, who converted away from Judaism, then join JVL who purport to represent Jews? Answers below...

2/15 Chilson sees an antisemitic conspiracy theory everywhere. In Chilson's mind Israel is under the bed, malevolently controlling events

JVL acts as cover for antisemites, so they're the perfect fit for Cyril Chilson

3/15 -Instead of seeing people reporting antisemitism he sees an antisemitic conspiracy.

He says Labour against Antisemitism could be 'recruits of the embassy of Israel' and accuses them of having 'Israeli masters'

4/15 - The editor of the Jewish Chronicle is accused of turning it into an 'information leaflet of Israel'.

More bizarrely, Chilson also claims he's involved in Israeli satanism "participation of the satanic liturgy of the sect led by the (cigar) smoking High Priest Netanyahu"

5/15 - Chilson's worldview is dominated by Israeli control. He can't help raising it at inappropriate moments, such as when someone makes a lighthearted joke about an entirely unrelated subject

Chilson also likes to deny antisemitism, again invoking Israeli control:

6/15 - He claims antisemitism is 'bogus' and used by Israel to control British politics

- He claims antisemites are the victims of a 'mccarthyist Israeli lobby to silence @UKLabour members'

7/15 Chilson describes the dropping of council candidate Billy J Wells for antisemitism as a 'witch hunt' 'kangaroo courts' and 'lynchings'.

8/15 Wells is guilty of the same type of antisemitism that Chilson is so fond of. Wells wrote a series of posts about Israel and "zionists" running politics, the media and the world.

So it's no surprise Chilson defended him so vigorously

9/15 Chilson also describes the highlighting of labour council candidate Nazreen Khan's antisemitism as 'false allegations' by the 'pro Israeli lobby'.

Amongst other comments she accused teachers of brainwashing children to think Hitler was a 'bad guy' thejc.com/news/uk-news/l…

10/15 But to find actual false accusations of religious discrimination, Chilson needs to look closer to home.

His own wife had her unfounded claim of religious discrimination dismissed by a judge thejc.com/news/uk-news/l…

11/15 The only 'bogus' claims and 'false allegations' come from his own family. And yet he sees it everywhere else. It's typical of the hypocrisy and double speak of antisemites

12/15 Chilson has lots in common with other antisemites so it's no surprise he chats away with people like virulent racist and holocaust denier Gilad Atzmon.

Here they discuss 'Jew funding' and Chilson suggests he checks 'who is bankrolling the Tories'. google.co.uk/amp/s/www.haar…

13/15 There is a precedent for Chilson's behaviour.

Chilson is reminiscent of Nicholas Donin, a figure from the 13th century who also converted from Judaism to Christianity. He was a famous self loather and like Chilson became an antisemite.

14/15 They both tried to prove themselves to the Church. Donin to the Pope, and Chilson to his colleagues who are almost all Dominican Friars at Blackfriars, a religious hall at Oxford university

15/15 Like other JVL members, Chilson's 'Jewish voice' only exists to promote his antisemitism and denials of racism towards Jews
