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.

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?

Dis-influencers: how are Jewish people in the UK being forced to leave their homes?

Protest: apparently marches like this, calling for an end to Israel’s genocide of Palestine, are terrifying Jewish people. Here are some of the Jewish people who took part in one of the marches. Do they look terrified to you – afraid to admit their identities?

We learned yesterday that the Israeli regime has an army of dis-influencers – people who try to influence others with disinformation – information that they know is false but deliberately present to others as factual in order to mislead. Here’s a great example:

The article states:

Speaking to MPs on the Home Affairs Select Committee on Wednesday, [Gideon] Falter [of the Campaign Against Antisemitism] said the marches had prompted Jews to “vacate their homes” and “remove their Star of David necklaces and hide their kippahs”.

Dave Rich, director of policy at the Community Security Trust, also addressed the panel and said:

“It was statements like: ‘I feel very unsafe living in my country, I’ve been afraid to go into London every Saturday, I’ve avoided making plans and I feel afraid on the tube’.”

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

“Many also changed the time of hospital appointments, central London synagogues changed their service times and many parents wouldn’t allow their children to use the tube on the weekends.”

But there is a flaw in these statements, as outlined below:

To be forced into doing something, there has to be an element of coercion against someone; another person has to have told them to leave – with threats. They need to have been told to hide the emblems of their Jewishness under fear of violence.

Were they?

Where’s the evidence for that?

Without it, this is just more disinformation from the Tel Aviv lie factory. Isn’t it?

We already know that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is concerned about the harm to his government’s international reputation caused by week after week of pro-Palestine protests in western capitals:

“We need to apply counter-pressure,” he said.

And up leapt Messrs Falter and Rich to spread fear among the UK’s Jewish community – of a threat that doesn’t exist.

That is dis-influencing.

Labour faces legal action over alleged mistreatment of Jews

Keir Starmer: too much support for Israel and not enough for Jews?

A group of Jewish Labour Party members is calling on Keir Starmer to make amends for what they describe as “discriminatory treatment”.

Here‘s Jewish Voice for Labour:

Labour leader Keir Starmer is facing calls to acknowledge and make amends for discriminatory treatment of Jewish party members.

legal letter to the party from Bindmans LLP on behalf of Jewish Voice for Labour sets out compelling evidence that Jews who disagree with the current leadership about Israel, Palestine, Zionism and antisemitism suffer disproportionately from the Party’s harsh disciplinary regime. Jewish members are 6 times more likely to be investigated and 9.5 times more likely to be expelled from the Labour Party for antisemitism than non-Jewish members (see Annex B).

The letter, copied to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, says the Party has failed to understand the diversity of opinion among British Jews and misconstrued criticism of Israel as antisemitism, illegitimately restricting the free expression of Jewish views on Israel and on Zionism. Associated restrictions on the rights of ­all party members are contrary to Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and to the Party’s own rules.

Such practices undermine the Party’s commitment to eliminating antisemitism and are in conflict with Labour’s history as the party that pioneered laws against racial discrimination such as the Race Relations Acts of 1965, 1968 and 1976 and the Equality Acts of 2006 and 2010.

The letter notes the exclusion of non-Zionist Jews from consultation on and implementation of Labour’s complaints and disciplinary procedures, as referenced by Martin Forde KC in his report (pp. 110-12) on these matters.

The letter invites the Party to acknowledge that it: “is in breach of the Equality Act 2010 by discriminating unlawfully against its Jewish members and unlawfully harassing them in (a) the manner in which it investigates complaints made against them and (b) its failure to investigate complaints made by them.”

Details are summarised in a new update to the ongoing Crowd Justice appeal set up by Labour Activists 4 Justice.

Would Lee Anderson have told Jewish refugees to ‘f*** off’ back to Germany in WW2?

Floating concentration camp: Bibby Stockholm (pictured) is a floating mirror of the camps built by Nazis for groups they considered undesirable. How many Jewish asylum-seekers and refugees have been forced to board it?

Here’s a sad reminder of the lengths by which the Conservatives have regressed UK society:

Professor Roberts is only slightly inaccurate; while the Bibby Stockholm and any other converted prison barges are reminiscent of those ships from centuries ago, they are more accurately described as concentration camps – a label most commonly associated with the Nazi extermination of Jews, Romanies, homosexuals and other proscribed groups in the 1930s and 40s.

One cannot help but feel that this was an intended aim of Tory immigration policy; they did not have to let the issue of refugees migrating across the English Channel happen at all – it used to be well under control but successive legislative changes by the Tories changed that.

Is it a sinister message to the people of the UK? “Do as you’re told or you will be next?”

The Conservatives themselves have been strident in their support of a policy that imprisons people who have done nothing wrong, with a view to deporting them to a foreign country with a highly-questionable human rights record.

But they have (deliberately?) got the tone all wrong. Their party’s deputy chairman, “30p Lee” Anderson, actually used obscene language when referring to asylum-seekers – which implies that he considers them to be a form of life that is below him (this is impossible; as a Tory, Lee Anderson is already lower than vermin).

The associations with other far-right political organisations were quickly identified, but Anderson has been defended by other high-ranking Tories:

And public opinion has judged them all:

In fairness, the attitude is being challenged – and you can judge the pitiful response from Justice Secretary Alex Chalk for yourself:

There isn’t a queue to jump, of course. The UK government picks and chooses who it allows in and, if you are from a wide array of countries that includes territory the UK has bombed within the last 13 years, there is no legal route for asylum open to you.

People who believe they must seek sanctuary in the UK – and remember, France takes three times as many refugees as this country has; German takes 10 times as many – have no choice but to do as they have.

Here’s Chalk again, showing that he shares Anderson’s fascist views about foreigners:

His claim that people should stop at the first “safe” country has long-since been debunked; international law does not demand that and never has.

Fortunately the rest of us aren’t putting up with any of this Tory/Fascist/racist nonsense:

Now brace yourself for a bombshell:

If asylum-seekers and/or refugees refuse to take places on the Bibby Stockholm floating concentration camp, they won’t be sent back to France but they will lose financial support from the UK government, which will not provide accommodation for them.

So let’s be clear on this: they’ll still be in the UK, but out on the streets, unmonitored? Isn’t that what they want?

So the Tory plan to deal with these asylum-seekers and refugees is either to make them put up with conditions similar to those faced by concentration camp victims in Nazi Germany or to flood the UK’s streets with them – something politicians like Lee Anderson and Alex Chalk have been strenuously opposing for a long time.

Where’s the sense in that?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the House of Commons, we see no opposition at all:

So Keir Starmer agrees with the Tories yet again. No surprises there.

Indeed, the rhetoric of Starmer’s STP (Substitute Tory Party – formerly Labour) is identical to that of the Conservatives on this matter:

£6 million a day adds up to £2,190,000,000 a year for hotel accommodation. The barges cost – well, see for yourself:

So: £800 million per year. But that’s not instead of the cost of hotels – it is in addition to that cost.

And what are we – and asylum seekers/refugees – getting for that cost? Edwin Hayward has researched it:

He had a highly-pertinent response to a correspondent who thought this didn’t seem too bad:

The best word on this whole sorry affair has come – as it usually does – from the most unfairly-vilified politician in Westminster: Jeremy Corbyn. He reminds us that the UK used to have a human immigration and asylum system, before the fascists and racists who currently call themselves Conservatives (and their counterpart cuckoos in Keir Starmer’s party) came along.

And look at the comment on his words, below:

We have come full circle.

UK policy on refugees and asylum-seekers is not only vile and inhumane; it reflects that of the Nazis to the minorities they persecuted.

Lee Anderson, Alex Chalk, Keir Starmer and Stephen Kinnock (it seems clear) would have put Jewish refugees from the Nazis in concentration camps, if they had been alive and in Parliament at that time. And how many of those currently aboard Bibby Stockholm are Jewish, anyway?

Diane Abbott loses Labour whip for making a fair point the wrong way

Diane Abbott: she has suffered more racist abuse than anybody you can name, due to the colour of her skin – and has now lost the Labour Parliamentary whip for attacking a newspaper article that apparently tried to minimise racism against people of colour.

First they came for Jeremy Corbyn…

Then they came for his grassroots supporters…

Then they came for left-wing Jews…

Now they are coming for members of the Socialist Campaign Group – and Diane Abbott is the first to be targeted.

She is an easy target because she has an unfortunate turn of phrase and often fails to think carefully before going public with her words.

This time, it has cost her the Labour whip, after the Observer published the following letter:

For those who can’t read images, here‘s the letter in full:

Racism is black and white

Tomiwa Owolade claims that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people all suffer from “racism” (“Racism in Britain is not a black and white issue. It’s far more complicated”, Comment). They undoubtedly experience prejudice. This is similar to racism and the two words are often used as if they are interchangeable.

It is true that many types of white people with points of difference, such as redheads, can experience this prejudice. But they are not all their lives subject to racism. In pre-civil rights America, Irish people, Jewish people and Travellers were not required to sit at the back of the bus. In apartheid South Africa, these groups were allowed to vote. And at the height of slavery, there were no white-seeming people manacled on the slave ships.
Diane Abbott
House of Commons, London SW1

Anybody can see what she was trying to do: she was pointing out that people of colour suffer racism far more often in their daily lives than those who might be defined as “white/European”, because the difference is visually obvious.

(It is also misleading. I have a friend who is white and Welsh, but whose face might seem to have a Middle-Eastern look about it to those who live by stereotypes. He tans very easily, and tells me that, when he has been on holiday abroad (lucky fellow!) he is habitually picked out for a “random” bomb check on the way back into the UK, by security officials who think he looks like an Islamic terrorist.)

Nobody who knows her history could deny that she has a very strong point; if I recall correctly, Ms Abbott receives more racist hate mail than all other MPs put together.

She tried to make a distinction by saying people of colour suffer racism while Irish people, Jews and Travellers (the GRT community), suffer prejudice instead – and that’s where she went wrong.

It’s all racism. Jewish people (for example) were originally Semitic (hence the word for hate against them: anti-Semitism), and the fact that their culture, like Christianity, has been successful in absorbing people from other races does not stop hatred being directed at them because they are different.

I was going to suggest that she could have used the word “xenophobia” to describe the hatred of people of colour in this context – the so-called “dislike of the unlike”. But that does not only refer to race/skin colour but also to culture, so it might be a better umbrella title for the prejudice faced by all the groups she mentions.

The problem here is simply finding the right word for the distinction she intended, which is that the other groups can avoid abuse on occasions because their skin colour means they can blend in with what, for want of a better word, I’ll describe as the majority.

But it was enough for the usual suspects to spring to the attack – presumably secure in the knowledge that nobody is about to ask them to compare the amount of abuse those of them who present as white/European receive against Ms Abbott’s.

(Indeed, judging from the abuse that Ms Abbott has received over this letter, it seems some of them may even have perpetrated some of it.)

At the end of the day, it was a valid point made in a very clumsy way.

Ms Abbott has apologised for it, claiming that the letter published in The Observer was a draft that should not have gone out. That’s still her mistake, though – and one she should not have made. Here’s what she said:

Again, for people who can’t read images:

I am writing regarding my letter that was recently published in the Observer.

I wish to wholly and unreservedly withdraw my remarks and disassociate myself from them.

The errors arose in an initial draft being sent. But there is no excuse, and I wish to apologise for any anguish caused.

Racism takes many forms, and it is completely undeniable that Jewish people have suffered its monstrous effects, as have Irish people, Travellers and many others.

So she accepts that she was at fault and has apologised.

If she was a member of Keir Starmer’s gang, that would be the end of it. But she isn’t, so she has lost the whip and there will undoubtedly be attempts to push her out of the party (or at least out of ever again being able to stand for election to the Hackney Parliamentary seat).

But some good has come of the row, because alongside the screaming, some people are discussing her points in a reasonable way. And they have good points to make:

It’s possible to foresee difficulties for Keir Starmer, though, as the suspension can be seen to carry a meaning that is harmful to him:

How about this from a Jewish Twitter user?

And this is an important point about the online wolves who are currently baying for her blood:

At the end of the day:

Diane Abbott overreacted to a newspaper article and published hasty words and, while that reflects badly on her, she has apologised, and that goes in her favour. The Labour Party that has suspended her – and the critics and abusers who have lined up to pour hate on her – will need to justify any action taken against her in that context – and I don’t think they’ll be able to.

It is they who will come out of this smelling like bull manure – not Ms Abbott.

Jewish Chronicle attack piece on Jeremy Corbyn leads to police hate complaint

Jeremy Corbyn: he doesn’t talk about his own religious beliefs, describing them as “personal”, but he does say there is a Jewish element in his ancestry – probably from Germany. So why is a Jewish Chronicle writer apparently using him to incite hatred by Jews against Christians?

An article in the Jewish Chronicle attacking Jeremy Corbyn has been reported to the police as a religious hate crime.

Here’s the offending passage, re-presented for us by Aaron Bastani of Novara Media:

It was reported to the police by Simon Maginn, whose It Was A Scam hashtag about the anti-Semitism hysteria whipped up against Mr Corbyn generated considerable hatred towards him personally.

He tweeted:

Then he had a short dialogue with the article’s author…

… that had this result:

Personally, I think any claim that Jews are enemies of Christians, that is based on words in the Bible, would need to be justified in a modern context.

Of course, if Ms Gold is stating that Jewish people – as a group – actively consider themselves to be enemies of Christians, and is able to justify that statement in the way I have described, then the Jewish people she mentions are definitely in breach of the Equalities Act 2010 and should be punished under UK law.

If the matter goes to law, my instinct tells me only Ms Gold will be found to have infringed the law – but her words, published in a newspaper, may be considered incitement.

Put it all together and I can see the JC picking up yet another judgment against it.

Immigration/Nazis: read history more carefully, says Cleverly – and so he should

James Cleverly: has he ever read a history book – or, indeed, any book at all?

Look at the state of this:

He’s right and wrong at the same time.

People should indeed read their history books more carefully – he’s right on that! – but if they do, they’ll find that the UK is not – historically – a welcoming country.

See for yourself:

So half a million Jewish people were denied entry into the United Kingdom in the 1930s, despite the obvious cruelty of the Nazi regime in Germany – including Oskar Goldberg’s family who died at Auschwitz as part of the Nazi Holocaust.

And – how convenient! – nobody knows how many of the others, who were turned down or turned away, also died in the Nazi Holocaust.

And now Suella Braverman – with the support of the rest of the Tory government including Cleverly – wants to turn away similar numbers of refugees, behind a smokescreen that she is foiling “criminal gangs”.

How many of them will suffer and die on foreign soil, after being denied safety here? How can anyone with a conscience look at the UK’s own history and support this inhumane and internationally illegal policy?

This clip of a Jew in Keir Starmer’s constituency says everything about him and antisemitism

Keir Starmer: he may have opened the door for people who don’t like his persecution policies to leave, but some of them aren’t going. They want him to show the world how prejudiced he is by making him force them out.

“The door is open and you can leave,” said Keir Starmer about changes he has made to Labour Party procedures that make it easier for him to expel left-wing Jews.

It is an anti-Semitic policy because it attacks Jews more than non-Jews. It’s also anti-socialist, and therefore an attack on the Labour Party’s wider voter base. Starmer is relying on them voting for his party because he thinks they simply don’t have anywhere else to go.

And it has drawn the following response from a left-wing Jew who lives in his constituency, who has challenged Starmer, and who he has ignored.

Why has he ignored her? Would it put him in an awkward position?

Have a listen to her words and see what you think:

As @xpressanny tweeted: “Yet another Jewish lady being harassed and abused by Labour and Keir Starmer. This lady is IN Starmer’s constituency and he won’t even speak to her. What kind of leadership is this supposed to be? It’s an utter sham of a party. Tory in all but name.”

Meanwhile, it’s being reported that Starmer is saying the “vast majority” of Labour members back him, despite complaints that he has ditched all of the “10 pledges” he made to the party when he was pretending to be a socialist in order to be elected party leader.

I was one of those who commented on his betrayal of his leadership promises recently, and I can only agree with the following:

If there’s a majority, there must also be a minority. Presumably that consists of people like the lady in the video clip, hanging on to their party memberships as a challenge to Starmer to expel them.

What a ridiculous position for a party leader to create for himself. Starmer looks like a fool.

Keir Starmer’s (and Ruth Smeeth’s) message to Labour: ‘Some Jews DON’T count’

The content of this video is self-explanatory. I think it should be shown to anybody deluded enough to think that Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is now a safe space for Jews.

It’s only safe for very right-wing Jews whose allegiances belong to the fringe groups that have received the Labour leadership’s stamp of approval.

Anybody else can go hang, apparently. Isn’t that the very definition of anti-Semitism?

Have a look at the video; it’s packed with facts – I’ve already commented on the Smeeth/Anderson/whatever-she’s-calling-herself clip myself:

Shocking stuff.

More shocking because it comes with the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s seal of approval, despite having received complaints about anti-Semitism in Starmer’s Labour for years.

Which of course suggests that the EHRC is a racist organisation too.

Also in the news: Starmer’s racist Labour accuses Jews of anti-Semitism

“Keith”: this is just one comment on the way Starmer treats members of his own party who support the values on which Labour was formed, rather than the twisted parody that he leads.

Labour has become a farce under Keir Starmer; its false-flag attack on party members is once again accusing Jews of anti-Semitism – some of them for a second time.

A quick glance down the list of those accused (see this Skwawkbox article) provides familiar names: Leah Levane, Jenny Manson, Graham Bash, Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi, Mike Cushman, Glyn Secker, Jonathan Rosenhead, Stephen Marks, Diana Neslen, Marion Roberts, Tony Booth.

Some of these have been targets of the Labour witch-hunt for years. In supporting this latest offence (and believe me, despite his claim to be stepping back from disciplinary matters in accordance with EHRC demands, he’s in this up to his armpits), Keir Starmer is disgracing himself, the disciplinary farce over which he presides, and every single member of the Labour Party who is allowing it to continue.

Also in the news recently:

Petition launched for Boris Johnson to fix the social care crisis – because he still hasn’t

Yes, Johnson has increased our National Insurance contributions by more than 10 per cent on the pretext that he will use the extra cash to fix social care – but he hasn’t offered any details of what he was going to do.

So the Guideposts Trust, a charity working in local communities with people who have dementia, learning disabilities, autism, and long-term mental health issues, and carers, has launched a petition.

It calls for “a real plan to solve the social care crisis that our community has been living with for years”.

And it makes suggestions:

Give social care staff the pay and respect they need.

Level up social care to the same level as the NHS.

Improve benefits and support for people trying to live independently.

You can sign the petition here.

Gas prices skyrocket but Johnson isn’t bothered

We should not be surprised that Boris Johnson isn’t concerned about rocketing gas bills; he doesn’t pay his own, after all (that’s if Downing Street even has gas).

Global gas prices have spiked, just as millions of people across the UK are facing the loss of £1,040 per year with the removal of the £20-per-week Universal Credit “uplift”.

And Johnson had the nerve to say: “I don’t believe people will be short of food – and wages are actually rising.”

He said gas prices surging was a “short-term” effect of the global economy re-starting. Is that right?

That’ll be a “no”, then.

The obvious solution is to re-nationalise gas – but neither Boris Johnson nor Keir Starmer would dream of doing that; they represent the people who are profiting hugely from the increases.

(What, did you honestly think they give a fig about your best interests?)

As a result of this – and all the other erosions of our rights and earning power – the UK is facing a Winter of Despair. See for yourself:

Patel taken to court over ‘concentration camps’ for asylum seekers

From The Mirror:

“Home Secretary Priti Patel is being taken to court over plans to keep asylum seekers in grim barracks for another four years.

“285 migrants are sleeping 14 to a dorm in Napier Barracks in Folkestone, Kent, where Covid outbreaks are rife.

“The High Court ruled in June that the Home Office had acted unlawfully by placing refugees in the barbed wire ringed facility – where fires broke out amid unrest in January.

“Ms Patel had used emergency planning laws to take over the MoD base for 12 months.

“Full planning permission was needed to continue using it beyond September 21. But she has secured it for four more years with a Special Development Order, avoiding local authority scrutiny and public consultation.

“Now one volunteer who supports residents is challenging the decision in the High Court as a breach of planning control – and has crowdfunded £35,000 to fight the case.”

Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.
