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.

Every tweet/FB post has a screenshot of the name of the Labour Party member/activist/officer or Free Speech on Israel member.
Second, i didn't allege they were from an "associate" of hers - i very plainly said that some were from members of her own group (Free Speech on Israel)

Third, she suggests i can send her the evidence for "checking". I spent no more than 1 hour gathering evidence of antisemitism from members of her own private & moderated group. If she gave a damn she could spend 1 hour of her own time and find the same evidence.
Instead i'm going to take the time to post a thread with screenshots of the antisemitism of her own members, this weekend if i get the chance.
Fourthly, she posts a link to a piece i wrote for Harry's Place (which she erroneously describes as anti-Palestinian) as evidence that i use the terms antisemitism & antizionism interchangeably.
In fact, the piece she links to does no such thing and describes how an article using antisemitic tropes and quoting from the Holocaust denying Journal of Historical Review was published by the LSE Centre for Human Rights in 2015 hurryupharry.org/.../whispering…
Lastly, she then links to another piece i wrote about the personal experience of being on the sharp end of leftist antisemitism hurryupharry.org/2015/10/16/its… and she says i accused Corbyn of supporting "violent jihadi Palestinian movements".
The piece was not about Corbyn, but of course - he has done exactly that.
There's toxic and stupid and then there's Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi.
THIS is the voice that Jeremy Corbyn endorses and promotes.
Ends
