Jeremy Corbyn should sue Nigel Farage over this outrageous falsehood

Stranglehold: The signer was actually interpreting a comment in a previous Nigel Farage TV appearance, but it works equally well to describe feelings across the nation at this right-wing mouthpiece’s misrepresentation of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

The reason other politicians keep smearing Jeremy Corbyn with false accusations of anti-Semitism is that he keeps letting them get away with it.

Mr Corbyn’s attitude is that, if it isn’t hurting people other than himself, he’s big enough not to worry about it.

The problem with that is that it harms his supporters, who are also smeared with the same allegation; they may be said to be supporting an anti-Semite.

Nigel Farage has appeared on GB News, saying the following:

This Writer knows of no occasion when Mr Corbyn has ever suggested that “the Jews run the world”, and I think Farage should be dragged into a courtroom to explain exactly why he said such a thing.

Sadly, I doubt Mr Corbyn will be bothered – and in this failure he is letting us all down.

Starmer finally gives up on Rochdale candidate – but is the damage already done?

Azhar Ali and Keir Starmer: the political damage to Labour’s leader of one of his supporters being accused of anti-Semitism, coupled with his own reluctance to suspend that person’s party membership, could be worse than any result in the Rochdale by-election.

Labour has finally suspended the party membership of Rochdale by-election candidate Azhar Ali, after the Daily Mail contacted the party with more allegations about him.

Mr Ali was already in trouble for claiming (correctly) that Egypt had said it had warned Israel of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack well in advance, and (without evidence) that Israel had allowed it to happen in order to have an excuse for its current genocide in Gaza.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

Mail story published on Monday (February 12) added that

Ali said “people in the media from certain Jewish quarters” were “giving crap” about Andy McDonald, who was suspended by Labour after he used the controversial phrase “between the river and the sea” in a speech during a rally.

The paper also said the now-former Labour candidate claimed that Israel planned to “get rid of [Palestinians] from Gaza” and “grab” some of the land. It is thought he made the comments at the same meeting as the original story.

There was nothing wrong with Mr McDonald’s use of the words “between the river and the sea”, as has been discussed on This Site previously, and the idea that Israel wants to clear Gaza of Palestinians and grab the land is now widely-held, in the light of the genocide there.

It’s probably that the offending words were “certain Jewish quarters” which, coupled with his other remarks, may give some people cause to believe his comments were anti-Semitic.

The controversy has turned the Rochdale by-election into yet another discussion of anti-Semitism in UK politics – much to the disgust of some commentators:

This Writer can only conclude that the use of the hashtag at the end of the post above is sarcastic – a comment on the issue of possible anti-Semitism by one candidate taking precedence over any discussion of the real needs of Rochdale and/or the UK as a whole.

We can check this against the words of those who have been asked to comment on it. Does Lord Mann discuss the political issues facing Rochdale and the UK?

No.

Louise Ellman? No. And look – someone has followed her interview clip with one of Keir Starmer protesting that he would have a “zero tolerance” approach to anti-Semitism, with a laugh track added to his words. You may ask yourself why…

It’s because Azhar Ali is a Starmerite – a member of the current Labour leader’s loyalists within the party. Considering the allegations against him, this would be enough to make anybody in Starmer’s position a laughing-stock, from certain viewpoints.

Here’s one of them: Ash Sarkar, on LBC, telling Nick Ferrari that the process Starmer was describing (to laughter, above) is not fit for purpose because he used it for petty factional vendettas rather than fair investigations of facts, and claiming that it took him considerably longer to be forced to give Mr Ali up, simply because he was a member of Starmer’s faction within Labour.

But the buck won’t stop with Mr Ali – or it shouldn’t:

Good question!

Even Ed Balls can’t help but admit that Ali is a Starmerite – although he does still manage to get a dig in at Jeremy Corbyn in this short clip:

Factual background information now: the following quotes the New York Times which claimed Israel had been given a whole year’s foreknowledge of the October 7 attack:

So: commenting on this claim can’t be anti-Semitic in itself as there is evidence to support it.

Apparently it is the criticism of the Israeli government that failed to act that is anti-Semitic. But there’s a problem with that, which is that commentators have been eager to conflate it with wider attacks:

Why would the pundits on Newsnight claim any criticism of the Israeli government is anti-Semitic? This Writer can only conclude that it is to whitewash the genocide that Benjamin Netanyahu is carrying out in Gaza; if any criticism of the Israeli government is anti-Semitic, then it is anti-Semitic to condemn the genocide.

I don’t think that will wash.

Others have been desperate to whitewash Starmer. Robert Peston’s ‘X’ post defies belief – and I urge you to click on it in order to read it in full before moving on to the response:

Add it all up and it is clear that Starmer and his own regime will have serious questions to answer and the repercussions may continue, right up until the general election.

So the question below – whether Labour is distancing itself from a probable defeat – is probably academic. The real issue is where Labour voters will go. Is Ken Burch (below) correct?

Certainly The Guardian has said

a local Labour insider said that some activists would seriously consider throwing their support behind Simon Danczuk, the disgraced former Labour MP for Rochdale who was suspended from the party after sending inappropriate messages to a teenager.

But supporting someone with such a record would create a stink of its own – and the paper also admits that

[George] Galloway, who is concentrating on Rochdale’s sizeable Pakistani and Kashmiri Muslim community for votes, is expected to benefit from the row, with some local activists saying that Ali’s suspension makes him favourite to win on 29 February.

If Galloway is the front-runner now, then the wisest thing he can do is concentrate on policy issues.

He could win thousands of votes by talking about what he thinks Rochdale needs, while his competitors are still wittering about anti-Semitism.

False anti-Semitism claims are being used to silence debate, says Peston at last

Robert Peston: at long last he has realised that some people making claims of anti-Semitism may not be entirely sincere.

Robert Peston has seen the light, it seems:

The TV politics reporter’s epiphany has prompted a few sharp comments from other commentators, who believe it took him too long to realise something that has been happening for years:

In fairness, This Writer is not entirely convinced that Peston ever bought into the anti-Semitism scam entirely, for this reason:

But there it is. When the claims were about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, they had to be completely beyond the pale to trigger suspicion in Peston’s mind.

Now, with the claims being based on the Israel/Gaza conflict, he seems more willing to accept that they don’t carry any weight.

Will he consider it worth revisiting those Labour-based claims? Comment below if you think he should.

Stephen Fry’s ‘alternative Christmas message’ sparks controversy

Selling his soul? Stephen Fry, that much loved institution of British comedy, seems to have swallowed a propaganda line that anti-Semitism in the UK has risen massively in response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Has it? And while any such behaviour is clearly racist and therefore wrong, why did he fail to take the opportunity to denounce the Gaza genocide?

Much-loved institution of British comedy Stephen Fry may have given himself a shot in the foot after he fronted a so-called ‘alternative’ Christmas message that was little more than a bare-faced attempt to make Israel’s genocide in Gaza look respectable.

The usual apologists and propagandists were quick to promote the much-loved etc etc’s little film – only to be debunked by the usual critics – but the broadcast itself is included in the ‘X’ post below so you can experience it yourself:

In fact there are certain elements of much loved etc etc’s speech with which This Writer would certainly agree: for example, that all forms of race hatred are wrong, and that Jewish people in the UK shouldn’t be attacked over what Israelis who happen to share their ethnic origin have been doing.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

But there are a few inaccuracies that crept into the speech and slanted it in an unacceptable direction. Here’s David Rosenberg, who is as Jewish as Stephen Fry:

You can’t immediately see all of Jackie Walker’s ‘X’ post below, to which Sue Jones responds, so I’ll quote it here: “Anti Jewish racism should be combatted at all levels, but the recent fashion for Jewish comedians to use their extensive platforms to suggest antisemitism is not given due attention, while at the same time not mentioning the extraordinary level of state and media support for the fight against Jew hate, as compared to any other racism, is a fraud. But to then use this argument to undermine those fighting against a genocidal state is just unforgivable.”

Ms Jones responds:

Strong words. Are they supported by the evidence of the much loved etc etc’s broadcast?

Well…

The following is anecdotal, but I wonder how many other British Jews have had the same experience:

Others have been harsher in their criticisms of the broadcast and of Fry himself:

It seems posts like the above sparked an interest in investigating Fry’s own activities and attitudes.

It seems that, in 2008, he signed a letter refusing to celebrate Israel’s 60th anniversary, calling it “a state founded on terrorism, massacres and the dispossession of another people from their land” – all of which, by failing to denounce what Israel is doing in Gaza now, he currently appears to support:

Why did he change his opinion? The following suggestion is extreme but I, for one, would like to know what reason Fry himself provides.

I pass the following on without comment; you may wish to research it for yourself:

And it seems the short film was produced by Zionists who are linked to the Israel Defence Force that is responsible for the genocide in Gaza:

The full post by MintPress News states: “The producers of Stephen Fry’s controversial Christmas message were members of a Zionist youth group that funnels members into the Israeli military. Fulwell73 was founded by Leo Pearlman, Benjamin Turner, Gabe Turner, and Ben Winston. All of whom were members of the Zionist youth group B’nei Akiva, which runs pre-military programmes to enrol members in the Israeli occupation forces. They have also spoken at events for the Israel lobby group, the Jewish Leadership Council.”

Again, I pass this on without comment.

Others have simply pointed to the alternative “alternative Christmas message”, that was provided by Fry’s fellow Jewish comedian, much loved institution of British comedy Alexei Sayle.

This was not broadcast on television, but was instead made available on the social media. You may draw your own conclusions about why one got wider distribution to the public while the other did not.

Here it is:

Which message do you prefer?

Or do they both have merit?

Today’s Labour Party lie about Jeremy Corbyn

Facepalm: and no wonder, as a current Labour shadow cabinet member repeats, yet again, a hoary old falsehood about Jeremy Corbyn and anti-Semitism.

Your host for today is Kay Burley and your liar is Bridget Phillipson, Labour MP for Houghton and Sunderland South and Shadow Education Secretary:

You’d think that, being the Shadow Secretary of State for Education, she’d be a little more knowledgeable about her subject.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

We can only conclude that she is deliberately lying.

People of Houghton and Sunderland South: if she’ll lie about this, she’ll lie to you about other subjects, too. Best to get rid of her at the next election.

US passes law saying anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. It isn’t

Our American cousins – oh dear.

They seem a little confused:

Here’s the issue:

Yes indeed: you don’t have to be Jewish to be a Zionist, meaning that opposition to Zionism simply cannot be anti-Semitism. To be anti-Semitism, it would have to be hatred of a Jewish person because they are a Jewish person. Keir Starmer isn’t Jewish. Rishi Sunak certainly isn’t.

Buy Cruel Britannia in print here. Buy the Cruel Britannia ebook here. Or just click on the image!

So, what is all this really about?

Could it be about making sure the United States has an excuse to keep selling its bombs to Israel, even though it seems clear that the onslaught against Gaza is part of the Zionist project to steal all the land in the original country with that name?

Here in the UK, people have a much more “grass roots” attitude; if the government won’t end support for Israel, we’ll jam up the mechanisms creating the weaponry:

We have a natural sense of justice that tells us it is wrong for a country with overwhelming military might to use it to slaughter children in a neighbouring country:

Back in the States, the population is spoonfed falsehoods:

We have seen Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of Gaza; we have heard how Israel warned Gazans to move from one part of the Gaza Strip to another, claiming they will be safe there – and then bombed the part they moved into.

We have concluded that Israel deliberately murders civilians, including women and children.

We may conclude that this is in the service of Israel’s Zionist project.

We may reasonably deduce that Gazans are anti-Zionist because of this.

Yet the United States has legislated that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.

Isn’t that victim-blaming to justify genocide?

Duffield dropped(?) from Labour’s candidate list for ‘anti-Semitism’. Cue controversy

Rosie Duffield: she attacked Jeremy Corbyn over the false anti-Semitism claims against him and now an anti-Semitism claim has led to her deselection as a Labour election candidate, it seems.

A Labour MP who (it says below) was instrumental in attacking Jeremy Corbyn over alleged anti-Semitism in the party has been accused of anti-Semitism – and it seems to have been enough to have Rosie Duffield deselected as a Labour candidate.

Supporters of Ms Duffield have called “foul”, claiming that the accusation is false and was only made in order to have her removed.

Other observers have called them out over it – pointing out that the accusations against Jeremy Corbyn were also false and only made in order to have him removed. Sauce for the goose… hoist by her own petard… the metaphors are endless.

Here’s the offending tweet that Ms Duffield is said to have liked, plus some commentary:

Do you think a decision to drop her for that would be justified? Or should she have been removed for falsely attacking Mr Corbyn, back in the day?

Stupidity: Israel lobbyists attack University Challenge over ‘anti-Semitic octopus’

Not anti-Semitic: sometimes a blue octopus is just a stuffed toy, and sometimes coloured clothes are just coloured clothes.

They have rightly been roasted for this.

After contestants from Christchurch College, Oxford, appeared on the BBC’s University Challenge quiz show with a stuffed toy octopus as their mascot, pro-Israel activists took to ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) to denounce them and the show, claiming it was an anti-Semitic trope.

Some also claimed that one of the contestants, Melika Gorgianeh, appeared to be wearing the colours of the Palestinian flag – until they had it pointed out to them that her clothes were not in the correct colours and any similarity was nothing more than a coincidence.

We all learned last month that the octopus (now they’re saying it has to be blue, but who cares?) is an obscure anti-Semitic canard, after Greta Thunberg was forced to remove a photo from her ‘X’ timeline.

Calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, she was pictured with a blue octopus that happened to be a common tool used by neurodivergent people to express their feelings. In the image, it was showing sadness.

The backlash against the hysterical “anti-Semitism” screamers has been encouraging. Let’s have a look.

City AM webmaster Jack Mendel had the right idea:

And look what he got in response to his well-reasoned thoughts:

Some responses were less tolerant but more incisive:

Considering the fact that Israel has been committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza strip, with a response to – yes – a terrorist atrocity that has been hugely disproportionate to the hurt that country received, it is not only astronomically stupid for its supporters to claim anti-Semitic tropes are turning up in places like this; it is also astonishingly offensive.

To those of you committing these offenses, This Writer can only say: clam up. You are not helping your cause. You are making yourselves, and Israel, look stupid, small-minded, bigoted and bloodthirsty.

To everybody who is being exposed to these offenses on a daily basis, my suggestion is: block these people. Remove them from your lives. De-legitimise and de-platform them. And when they squeal (because they will), remind them that it is the consequence of their own stupidity.

Third massive pro-Palestinian demonstration in London is huge success

Groundswell: a through-the-window view of Westminster Bridge during the pro-Palestine demonstration.

A third – massive – demonstration of solidarity with the people of Gaza has taken place in London, attracting up to 100,000 people, according to the Metropolitan Police.

It was heralded by dire warnings of anti-Semitic sentiment and violence from the usual suspects. Here’s Tory Brexit failure David Frost:

Here’s UK Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, with a lying claim that the demonstrations were shows of open support for “the Hamas terrorists”:

His call for a more balanced, accurate and fair assessment of what is happening, by the media, is one that This Site would support, though; it is long past time the innocent Palestinians in Gaza had fair representation on our national news media.

There is no impartially-gathered evidence to show that anti-Semitism has increased in the UK.

And what happened?

Well, this should give an impression of the scale of the event:

There were very few incidents involving the police:

It is sad that any incidents should have occurred that may be treated as hate crimes – but among a crowd of 100,000, this figure is vanishingly small.

Perhaps Rabbi Mirvis and Mr Frost were overstating their case, do you think?

Kyle spouts common lie about Jeremy Corbyn – and is forced to correct

Jeremy Corbyn: he has a long history of supporting Jewish people. Anybody claiming he is anti-Semitic is either mistaken or outright lying.

This is good work from James Schneider on Jeremy Kyle’s Talk TV show.

Kyle spouted the common lie that Jeremy Corbyn was removed from the Labour Party because he was anti-Semitic and Mr Schneider corrected him. Kyle then had to issue a full clarification – as Mr Schneider had predicted:

It is when broadcasters fail to correct falsehoods – as happens too often on the BBC’s Politics Live, for example – that they stick in the minds of the viewers and affect the way people choose to vote.

The media have a responsibility to be fair and accurate at all times, but in politics this is all-too-often ignored to fuel the personal biases of corporate bosses.

It’s good to be able to highlight a moment of (albeit ill-humoured) responsibility.
