Starmer Forces Holocaust Survivor Stephen Kapos Out of the Labour Party as Part of the Fight Against ‘Anti-Semitism’

The London Labour Bureaucrat Who Threatened Stephen With Expulsion Didn’t Even Have the Courage to Give His Name


Stephen Kapos speaking at the Socialist Labour Network Holocaust Memorial Day meeting on 27 January 2023

On Friday January 27 the Socialist Labour Network organised a meeting for Holocaust Memorial Day under the title Reclaiming the Memory of All Those Who Died In The Nazi Holocaust.

Unlike the official HMD commemorations, we remembered not just the Jews who died but the Disabled and the Roma Gypsies. We reject the Zionist exploitation of the holocaust to justify the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.

When the Starmeroids got to hear of it, probably from the Skwawkbox article, an anonymous pen pusher from London Labour wrote threatening Stephen with expulsion.

The cowardice of this party hack, who wasn’t even brave enough to put their name to the letter, thought nothing of threatening a holocaust survivor with expulsion. This is what Starmer’s pledge to ‘tear out the poison’ of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party has amounted to.

Starmer, the self-declared ‘Zionist without qualification’, who has said not a word about the Judeo-Nazis who are part of Israel’s government, has ended up threatening to expel a holocaust survivor from Labour. This shows what an utter hypocrite the man is.

Walter Wolfgang reenters the Labour Conference in 2005 having been expelled the day before

At least when the Blairites had holocaust survivor, Walter Wolfgang, removed from the Labour Party conference in 2005 they had the good grace to apologise and readmit him to the Labour Party conference.

Socialist Labour Network Holocaust Memorial Day Meeting – Stephen Kapos is the third speaker

Starmer, Evans and the fake victims of Labour ‘anti-Semitism’ – the Lady Smeeths, Hodges and Ellmans – have all the manners of a skunk on heat without the charm.

Not only is Starmer a liar, who made 10 Pledges to get elected leader which he immediately junked, but he is a corrupt liar who hid the sources of his campaign funding, from rich Zionists, hedge fund owners and other parasites until the result was in.

Starmer and Evans are McCarthyites who have outlawed free speech in the Labour Party. Even Blair didn’t proscribe organisations he disagreed with but Starmer, a personality free zone, has nothing to offer except lies, more lies and Tory lite policies.  

Stephen made the obvious point that has eluded these witchhunters, that speaking on the platform of another organisation, in this case the SLN, does not mean you are a member or supporter of that organisation. This technique of guilt-by-association was first patented by Joe McCarthy.

Starmer’s Labour Party is politically (and financially) bankrupt. Our task is to create a new socialist and working class party.

Below is the letter from a London Labour Party hack and below that is Stephen’s reply.

Dear Stephen, 

It has been brought to the attention of the Labour Party that you have been advertised as a speaker for an event entitled ‘Zionism During the Holocaust - Reclaiming the Memory of All Those Who Died’,  hosted by Socialist Labour Network on Friday 27th January 2023. 

In line with Labour Party rules, Socialist Labour Network is a group which the NEC of the party has determined is incompatible with Labour Party values. Any support for the organisation would likely be deemed in breach of Party rules and may lead to expulsion. 

Yours sincerely,

London Labour

Dear London General, 

Thank you for your emailed letter of the 24th of January giving me advance warning that I am likely to be expelled from the Party if I were to speak from the panel as a Holocaust survivor at the SLN (Socialist Labour Network) Webinar on the 27th January — on Holocaust Memorial Day.

The Holocaust is the most important single example of genocide, which at its worst descended into an industrial process of mass murder of millions.

As a child survivor and one of the fewer and fewer still living direct witnesses to the Holocaust I feel a compelling duty to bear witness and speak out about it at any platform that would invite me and to any audience ready to listen.

I am an activist for Palestinian human rights and an active member of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in its Camden Branch. The defence of Palestinians living under a brutal occupation is very important to me, particularly as a Holocaust survivor. Palestinians live under a system of apartheid as recognised by Amnesty International and other major human-rights organisations. Those are my political beliefs which I claim are protected characteristics under the Equalities Act 2010.

I am not a member of SLN nor have I been following its activities, but via the book to be discussed on the 27th I have a general understanding of SLN’s views on present-day Zionism (as a political movement ) and on some of the actions of the Zionist movement during the Holocaust and WWII.  I am in sympathy with some of those views on the grounds of my political beliefs mentioned above. I have personal experience of the Kastner project in Hungary which was driven by Zionist ideology.

Rudolf Kasztner - leader of Hungarian Zionism and Nazi Collaborator

My father was a victim of Kastner’s scheme and ended up stranded in the Belsen and Theresienstadt concentration camps. I was myself briefly interned in a Kastner-run detention camp in Budapest.

You make mention of Labour Party values.

I learnt about Labour values during my party activism in the period when Frank Dobson was our MP and I worked in a warm and friendly atmosphere prominently on various election campaigns.

Those values were very different to that of the present leadership whose values permit intimidation, banning of discussion of some of the most vital political topics, disregard for the Party’s own rules, and for natural justice, the drastic reduction of inner party democracy, extreme factionalism, lack of support for striking workers.

I do not share these values.

Please accept my immediate resignation from the Labour Party effective from tomorrow, i.e. from the 27th of January 2023. Your attempt to effectively bar me from speaking about the Holocaust on Holocaust Memorial Day was the last straw for me.

In the short term the Tories are self-destructing which may well bring the Labour Party into government soon.

In the long term this period of the Party’s history will be remembered with shame: this was when MacCarthyism was revived and imported into the Labour Party — and into the political life of the UK itself.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Kapos

  1. Another sad day for a Labour Party that is clearly in the process of self destroying any claim to be either democratic or socialist.

  2. Starmer, the ultimate Zionist 'Yes' man.
    Is it antisemitic to abuse a Holocaust survivor? Not according to the new blue Labour Party.

  3. Every word written above strikes a chord with me. It is not just a matter of values, conscience and historical accuracy, it is also to do with logic. This sounds cold, but it can bring a detachment that affords opportunities to view people and events in a way devoid of emotion. However, when reading stories like Stephen's, it is easy to imagine the anguish and fear that he and his family felt during that dreadful time.
    To focus only on the Jewish experiences of Nazi atrocities, limits our knowledge, understanding and prevents us from learning how to ensure that such things do not happen again. This can only help Jews as well as everyone else. It serves to help Zionists blame Palestinians and uttery demonise them. This leads to the West being more easily able to dismiss their suffering and the atrocities perpetrated on them every day of their lives. Gideon sums this up; "Gaza is permitted because of Auschwitz".

    1. No the SLN didn't include a talk on the Mufti of Jerusalem whom the Zionist High Commissioner Sir Herbert Samuel appointed in 1921 d espite having come 4th in the elections for the post.

      Actually we didn't include anything about the Zionist terror Stern Gang which TWICE offered a military pact to Hitler in 1940/1.

      The only Nazis in Israel are the Jewish ones represented by Ben Gvir and Smotrich, who doesn't want Jewish and Arab women to share the same maternity ward.

      Nice try Mr Zio, better luck next time

    2. So you dont deny the Nazi roots of Palestinian nationalism then. Is that the same Ben Gvir and Smotrich that thousands of Israelis are protesting ?

      Delete
    3. It goes without saying that I deny that Palestinian nationalism has any Nazi roots. Palestinian nationalism arose from the Zionist dispossession of 3/4 million Palestinians in 1948 and the steady colonisation and dispossession from 1904 onwards silly boy.

      You should try reading Jabotinsky's Iron Wall where he said:
      http://en.jabotinsky.org/media/9747/the-iron-wall.pdf

      There can be no voluntary agreement between ourselves and the Palestine
      Arabs. Not now, nor in the prospective future. I say this with such conviction, not because I want to hurt the moderate Zionists. I do not believe that they will be hurt. Except for those who were born blind, they realised long ago that it is utterly impossible to obtain the voluntary consent of the Palestine Arabs for converting "Palestine" from an Arab country into a country with a Jewish majority.
      My readers have a general idea of the history of colonisation in other countries. I suggest that they consider all the precedents with which they are acquainted, and see whether there is one solitary instance of any colonisation being carried on with the consent of the native population. There is no such precedent.

      Like all 'left' Zionists you are a racist liar.

      Yes thousands of Israelis are protesting. Not against the Occupation, not against the racists but because their Supreme Court may no longer be a figleaf for racist Zionism. Marchers have attacked those with Palestinian flags and End the Occupation signs. As you well know.

      They have no objection to Smotrich and Gvir's racism, just the fact that they may start losing some of their freedoms.

      You have nothing worthwhile to say but if you don't give your real name I won't give you a right of reply to this.

  7. Can Starmer's Labour Party get any more depraved than it aready is? Stephen Kapos is a far better man than Starmer will ever be.

  8. An utter disgrace. Shame on them. I was very saddened but not surprised to read this. Stephen’s eloquent and intelligent letter sums up the Labour party of today and what it represents and stands for, perfectly. I cannot vote for their ideologies even though I am a life long Labour voter. I find them utterly sickening actually. The only problem is, it’s the political ‘home’ of the working class and it’s there where the majority will go in the next election. They’ve hijacked the party and made it their own. Of course, it’s Blair who first did this , much to the appraisal of Thatcher. But I think their corrupt mindset and contempt for the working class has reached new levels. New heights of depravity. They are traitors through and through. How dare they throw out Mr Kapos…
    We have an opposition made up (largely), of mediocre nobodies who feel it’s correct to expel a holocaust survivor for speaking about his experience. The shame is entirely on them!

  9. The idea that Sturmer might win a GE on the back of Tory incompetence sends shivers down my spine!
