.@uklabour A thread about JVL’s holocaust denial in a talk to students
1/8 Falsifying history to say Jews were partly responsible for their own genocide is known as ‘Holocaust revisionism.’ Historians classify it as Holocaust Denial as it distorts facts for a preordained outcome

2/8 JVL leader Jonathan Rosenhead accused Jews of being responsible for hundreds of thousands of Jews being murdered in the holocaust. This is holocaust revisionism. The lie of Jews ‘collaborating with Nazis’ and being complicit in their own genocide is absolutely despicable
3/8 It also puts the victims on a par with the perpetrators, thereby stripping them of victimhood and sympathy.
Even worse, it was a public talk at a university given to impressionable young students.

4/8 It was held at @UoLondonSC which is a charity owned by the University of London. This has violated their duty of care, their diversity policy and equality duty. The @chtycommission should be extremely concerned
5/8 It’s no surprise that Alan Bull, Labour’s Holocaust denying Council candidate, proudly wears the JVL badge. JVL leader Rosenhead is in the same club. Rosenhead’s is the most heinous antisemitic conspiracy theory - blaming Jews for the Holocaust
6/8 Rosenhead’s comments are described by historians as “baseless” and “a fantasy”. He relies on the racist myth of Jewish power and cruelty.
7/8 Proving the point he then defended pro-Corbyn antisemitism by using an antisemitic conspiracy theory: that it was a ‘false flag’ run by Israel. thejc.com/news/uk-news/j…
8/8 Rosenhead and JVL are dangerous racists who provide cover for antisemitism. JVL are still proudly promoting the video, which remains on their own website. jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/campaigns/corb…
