Murder in Gaza – UN film of Israeli War Crimes that were applauded by Labour Friends of Israel and Luke Akehurst

Why has Chris Williamson been suspended whilst Luke Akehurst is a full member? Is support 4 war crimes not a disciplinary offence?

This is a film which was shown at the UN Human Rights Council, a body which Israel, not surprisingly boycotts (there are some boycotts that Israel does support). We can clearly see that young people who pose no conceivable threat to Israel’s racist fear of Arabs crossing the fence (there is no border between Israel and Gaza), who were participating in a lively but peaceful demonstration, who were orchestrated and controlled by no one, were shot down as they protested against the intolerable and inhuman conditions in Gaza where 95% of the water is unfit to drink, where unemployment is 60% and which has been subject to an 11 year long blockade by Israel for the ‘crime’ of voting for the wrong party, Hamas instead of Fatah. 

The Board of Deputies of British Jews, a wholly Zionist organisation, which has been in the forefront of the fake 'anti-Semitism' campaign here defending Israeli war crimes 

Most British Jews opposed Israeli war crimes in Gaza but not the Israeli Embassy's front group, Labour Friends of Israel

What is intolerable is that whilst Chris Williamson MP has been suspended because of the blackmail threats issued by Tom Watson MP, namely that more right-wing Labour MPs will resign (to which most of us would respond, bring it on) Luke Akehurst and members of Labour Friends of Israel, including Ruth Smeeth and Louise Ellman, SUPPORTED Israel’s murder of innocent civilians.  As did the Board of Deputies of British Jews, which has been prominent in the fake ‘anti-Semitism’ attacks on Corbyn.

Labour Friends of Israel support mass murder in Gaza

Why is it that support for war crimes is not an offence under Labour’s disciplinary code but opposition to the fake ‘anti-Semitism’ campaign of people like John Mann and Wes Streeting is an offence?

The same tabloid press that is so concerned about Labour's 'anti-Semitism' employs Katie Hopkins, a vile racist

Instead of John McDonnell, the rapidly moving rightwards Shadow Chancellor expressing his ‘despair’ at ‘anti-Semitism’ and accepting that these allegations of ‘anti-Semitism’ are genuine, he might take time out to question the bona fides of the ‘anti-Semitism’ campaign. He might ask himself why is it that the press isn’t interested in the Tories alliance with anti-Semites in the European Parliament but is interested in demonising Chris Williamson?  Or why the racist tabloid press that employed Katie Hopkins, who described migrants as ‘cockroaches’ is so concerned about ‘anti-Semitism’? Or why it is that the fake ‘anti-Semitism’ campaign only started when Jeremy Corbyn was seen as likely to win the Labour leadership?  The answers are not hard to find but McDonnell, Lansman and the other turncoats don’t seem to have figured it out.

There is no greater admirer of Israel than Katie Hopkins (& Tommy Robinson)

Being a Zionist and a Racist go hand in hand

And why has Corbyn and McDonnell, to say nothing of Momentum nationally, not called for the expulsion of the execrable Luke Akehurst and those associated with Labour Friends of Israel?  Cowardice? Or just plain stupidity? Corbyn and McDonnell should learn some lessons from the 1930’s.  When you appease your political enemies, because that is what the Labour Right is, they only increase their demands. Paying danegeld to the Dane is never a good idea!
