"Why do they always pick only on Israel?" - a non-Jewish hotel security team member on 23 September 2018, outside the Hilton Liverpool where a Labour Party fringe meeting sponsored by Jewhate group Palestine Solidarity Campaign was being held.
I traveled to Liverpool as part of a small Jewish Human Rights Watch team to observe two fringe meetings that were being held as part of the 2018 Labour Party Annual Conference. That the conference was held in Liverpool, home to Derek Hatton and his group Militant that almost destroyed the Labour Party back in the 1980's wasn't enough. No, the Unite Union's current leader Len McCluskey is a Scouser himself. Yes, Mr Corbyn and his twisted acolytes must have said in unison (ironically, with due respect to Mr Corbyn that I'm being ironic, the name of another Corbyn-licking union) "Let's hold our conference in the independent Corbynland of Liverpool in memory of Degsy Hatton, the millionaire web designing socialist who wants to come back into Labour*"{*Hatton was re-admitted to the Labour party on 19th February after 34 years. He lasted 2 days before it was discovered that like many of his ilk, he is an enabler of Jewhate and in a 2012 tweet was caught encouraging blame culture against British Jews for the actions of the Israeli government.}
Meeting number one we were observing was not one to discuss the 600,000+ dead and 11milion displaced in Syria, or the 720,000 displaced Rohingya in Myanmar or the 11,000 civilian killed and half the population starving in Yemen, or the estimated one million Uighur Muslims who are being held in detention camps in the Chinese province of Xinjiang.
No. That's all chicken feed compared to this important meeting that attracted two of Labour's leading professional Antisemites, Unite's Len McCluskey, Hamas flag-waver 2018, and the childishly scruffy Tosh McDonald of rail union ASLEF - he's the loutish Rick Wakeman lookalike, described by the Sun newspaper as a union wrecker, who has his name, in a most upmarket fashion, tattooed across his knuckles and who thinks Jeremy Corbyn is the Messiah (presumably not a "naughty, naughty, boy" Life of Brian type of Messiah either).
No, meeting number one was being sponsored by the affable and delightful great unwashed professional Antisemites of Palestine Solidarity Campaign who seek peace and justice for the Israel-oppressed Palestinians in the Middle East. Please note however, that it's only the Palestinians ruled by the multi-millionaire terrorists in Gaza (nowt to do with Israel, as Israel exited Gaza in the mid 2000's in exchange for a peace that has never materialssed thanks to the terrorists Hamas gaining control in 2007); neither is it the one million Palestinians in Jordan who have never had any citizens' rights whatsoever for the past 70 years and who morons like McCluskey and McDonald don't care about because in Jordon it's strictly "No Jews" so it's "No News". No Nazi BDS reprobates there stirring it up and boycotting Jordanian goods.
Not that those in Gaza have many rights, apart from those aligned with Hamas having the right to bear arms, dig terror tunnels and fire rockets at Israel as they fulfil the Hamas murderous charter, the only one in the world that seeks to wipe another country, Israel, off the map. At least Iran's weird-beard leaders only shout it at their huffing-and-puffing hate rallies - Hamas have it written into their 'constitution' (the one ordinary Gazan Palestinians have no democratic say in). That's Palestinian Blame Culture in full modus operandi - never the fault of the multi-millionaire (three of their leaders are actually billionaires, despite declaring themselves penniless when they took over in Gaza in 2006 and never having words a day in their lives since then!) Hamas usurpers of world donations and oppressors of their own people. No, it's always Israel's fault.
Quite how the useful idiots McCluskey and McDonald attending this meeting contributes to the enrichment of their union membership that pays their over-enthusiastic salaries (as well as that £400,000 interest free loan for McCluskey's fancy London abode a few years back - well for some), or helps UKplc went slightly over the heads of our merry band of four observers.
A video of McCluskey vitriolically tongue lashing one of our observer group (see picture below) and claiming it is in fact the Tories who are Antisemitic started doing the rounds rather quickly. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6201373/Moment-Union-chief-McClusky-pulled-away-row-Jewish-activists-Labour-anti-Semitism.html. Blame culture no doubt learned from McCluskey's dealings with Mr Corbyn's intimate dear friends in Hamas (not forgetting his other friends Hezbollah, the IRA and the oppressive regime of Veneuzela), as they are forced to languish in 6-star luxury in Doha penthouses in order to keep an eye on their Qatari shopping mall investments (from very mysterious investment income bearing in mind Hamas don't actually work for a living). Yes, everything, including the weather, is the fault of those pesky Zionists.
Although in fairness, Qatar have since become wise to Hamas and slung most of them out, not wishing the Hamas playboy lifestyle, all at the expense of normal Palestinians, to be equated with the emergence of the Emirate into the civilised world .
The grand Clucky
Meeting number two was a "secret" affair. Now in the language of Rogue Traders on the BBC's Watchdog programme, those who wish to stay "secret" usually always have something to hide. And "Jewish Voice for Labour", headed by the very non-Jewish and rather repulsive Jenny "Charles" Manson (her ulterior motive is being a pretender/carpetbagger to an MP's seat in the next general election) certainly have plenty to hide, if the equivalently secret recording we were played of their meeting in the Liverpool Friends Meeting House was anything to go by.This was nothing more than a replay of 1920/30's Germany and the beginnings of National Socialism, only in down-town Liverpool. Our spy in residence at the meeting reported back all that was missing at the end of the meeting were shouts of "Sieg Heil" and a round of saluting to spinning Jenny. McDonald and his mad hair and his tattoos, was there (boy, he gets around), yet again helping his ASLEF members . . . . . NOT.
Jewish people won't understand "Jewish Voice for Labour" due to their lack - according to mr Corbyn - of their understanding of irony, but the fact their membership is almost 75% non-Jewish (not remotely near the corporate 51% required to give the group a Jewish majority) and that according to the group's website they are sponsored by BDS (the highly antisemitic and extremely hypocritical "do as I say and not as I do" Boycott Divestment and Sanctions) groups who seek the destruction of Israel, says it all. By day, these are the foxes who guard the chicken run, and by night, attend Jewhate fests, replete in their brown shirts, blame culture and worshiping of the Messiah Corbyn.
The thoroughly repulsive Tosh McDonald
What perhaps was most disturbing about both meetings (the former in the Hilton the latter in the Quakers Meeting House) was the abrogation by the respective venue management regarding the nature of the meeting and claiming not to know what the meeting subject matter was. Both establishments claimed it was just a commercial undertaking renting out their respective establishments to groups prepared to pay for space and refreshments. And the Quakers even went as far as to claim that they allowed the meeting to go ahead so as to be "inclusive" to all groups (yet at the same time claiming to not know the subject matter - that's a little strange allowing inclusivity when you don't know what a meeting being held in your premises is all about).
Indeed. Inclusive to a group that wishes to see Israel (and only Israel) wiped off the map. Not Hamas. Not the mad Mullahs of Iran. Not Hezbollah. Just Israel.
So by the establishments' management own account, would it then be possible for a local paedophile group to hold a children's underwear fashion show unhindered? Or for a Jihadist group to hold a suicide vest show? I think not.
But what was most sad were the rosy-tinted spectacles the delegates seemed to have bought in bulk. We decided not to engage with delegates, having appointed a spokesman to do the talking, but without exception, each one robotically reeled off to all of us the "Labour is NOT antisemitic" mantra. Really? "It is inclusive. It is for the many, not the few and Jeremy is strictly against racism of any sort." Really? That's not the ideal Chris Williamson of Derby follows. Or Richard Burgon. Or Graham Morris. Or George Galloway who is busting a gut to get back into Labour.
No. Not from our hard evidence they aren't. And he ain't. Oh. By the way. I fail to work out whether these people are deluded, pig-ignorant or just plain hard of thinking.
UK Labour and its band of card-waving Jeremy Corbyn Snowflakes will try to tell you there is no antisemitism within the party - judge for yourself. Here is a rather long list of Labour Antisemitism courtesy of GnasherJew and Labour Against Antisemitism. It is quite a comprehensive list, but sadly is now out of date. Out of date for all the wrong reasons. Not out of date because Labour have addressed their problems with Antisemitism, but out of date because there have been many more incidents since. And many of these Antisemites have got off Scott-free.
Do read throught thsi depressing list and make an informed judgement for yourself whether there is a problem with Antisemitism in the Labour Party. And feel free to search the internet using the term "resigned from Labour due to its Antisemitism problem". Here's the BBC's take, even more interesting given that there is a recognised bias against Jews in that publicly-funded behemoth too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45030552
1: Alan Bull, who was selected by @uklabour as a candidate, in the full knowledge he is a Holocaust denier. He was supported by @PeoplesMomentum Director Shawcroft.
