It Must Have Been Something I Said! Jo Wadsworth of the Anti-Palestinian Brighton and Hove News Threatens to Report Me to the Police!
All I did was to send Jo Wadsworth of Brighton
and Hove News an email giving a link
to my blog. True I headed it ‘ENJOY RACIST SCUMBAG’ but that was no
reason to respond in the way she did:
Oh no, Tony "notorious
antisemite" Greenstein has called me a bad name. How will I ever recover?
To which I responded that this was a good question. I suggested that
the answer lay in Wadsworth ‘Probably (by) gorging on the blood of the children in
Gaza. I should think that would be good recipe for you to try’.
She had after all been perfectly
happy with a multitude of comments defending Israel’s bombardment of hospitals,
ambulances, homes and schools, its food, water and fuel blockade and the murder of over 6,000 children
and thousands of adults. In other words collective punishment, a flagrant
breach of international law.
It appears however that Ms Wadsworth is a more sensitive soul than I had
given her credit for. She didn’t seem to take my comment that she was wallowing
in the blood of thousands of children at all well.
Okay Tony I usually find your insults entertaining
in a pathetic kind of way. But that's crossed a line. I'm now asking you not to
contact me again and if you persist I will report you to the police.
It seems to have become the latest fashion amongst Zionists to report
anything I say to the police. In fact I’m thinking of saving them the trouble and
time by designing a handy form which they can email to the Police explaining
why they have problems with freedom of speech.
First there was Heidi
Bachram and now Jo Wadsworth. Who will be next?
At the same time the Metropolitan Police have decided that they have the
right to decide what literature can be openly sold on Zionism at today’s
demonstration and what posters can be displayed. According
to the Met:
Images were shared on social
media showing literature being distributed which featured a swastika inside a
Star of David. Officers later spotted the same literature at a stall in
Whitehall and arrested four people on suspicion of distributing material likely
to stir up racial hatred.
The people
they arrested were from the Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist
Leninist [@cpgbml]
I wasn’t
aware that intertwining a Swastika and a Zionist Star of David graphically was
a criminal offence. As I wrote in my book, Zionism
During the Holocaust:
In
the spring of 1933, Baron Leopold von
Mildenstein, a member of the SS, and Kurt Tuchler of the ZVfD [German Zionist]
Executive and their wives, boarded a train at Berlin to travel to Palestine.
Tuchler had tried to persuade Mildenstein to write ‘something positive’ about
Palestine in the Nazi press. Mildenstein agreed, provided that he was able to
visit Palestine first. He stayed for six months and was clearly impressed by
the “new Jew”.
On his return, Mildenstein published a
series of 12 articles in Joseph Goebbels’ paper, Der Angriff, from 26
September to 9 October 1934 under the by-line ‘von Lim’ [Jacob Boas, ‘A Nazi Travels to Palestine’]. This trip was
the subject of an article in the eminently respectable History
Today of January 1980. Mildenstein served as
head of Abteilung 112/II, the Jewish department (Judenreferat) of the Sicherheitsdienst, [SD] from the summer
of 1935 to August 1936. Indeed so pleased were the Nazis with the trip that
they struck a medal to commemorate the trip.
It is perfectly legitimate to argue
that Zionist ideology and Nazi ideology share a lot in common. The Zionists
admitted this themselves. On 21 June 1933, the German Zionist Federation wrote
a letter to Hitler in which they explained that:
Zionism has no illusion about the difficulty of the Jewish condition which consists above all in an abnormal occupational pattern and in the fault of an intellectual and moral posture not rooted in one’s own tradition… an answer to the Jewish question truly satisfying to the national state can be brought about only with the collaboration of the Jewish movement that aims at a social, cultural and moral renewal of Jewry… On the foundation of the new state, which has established the principle of race... fruitful activity for the fatherland is possible. Our acknowledgement of Jewish nationality provides for a clear and sincere relationship to the German people and its national and racial realities. Precisely because we don’t wish to falsify these fundamentals, because we too are against mixed marriages and are for maintaining the purity of the Jewish group… The realisation of Zionism could only be hurt by resentment of Jews abroad against the German development. Boycott propaganda… is in essence fundamentally unZionist, because Zionism wants not to do battle but to convince and to build.’
The full letter can be
found in Lucy Dawidowicz, A Holocaust
Reader, pp. 150-153. Who the hell
are the Metropolitan Police to decide we can and cannot read? Of course it will
give offence to Zionists to be reminded of the times when they had close fraternal
relations with the Nazi State. However this is part of the historical record
and only in Police States do thick coppers decide what people can and cannot
read and see.
As wrong headed as it is to conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism, it's also not good to always compare it with Nazism, and I can see how this could be seen as offensive, especially things like the top image, which will also make the work of anti-Zionism = antisemitism advocates easy.
ReplyDeleteThere can be fascist aspects of Zionism, like we're seeing currently, without it always being compared with Nazis.
I think the main point is that people should be free to make the comparison. But Zionism today is becoming more Nazified. That is what is so horrifying of course
DeleteMaybe, but people being free to express themselves doesn't make it less offensive to people, and the constant comparison of zionism and nazism seems a bit off - zionism has its own pitfalls, including a fascist element, without needing to be like nazism.
Deletegreat point Tony
DeleteRacists do not thank you for referring to them as racists. Every word you write will be read 10 times to see if and how it can be used against you. You will know this but it has not stopped you and nor should it. Free speech is the cornerstone of any democracy and these pocket-dictators would remove both given the chance. .
ReplyDeleteZionist Israelis act as though they are above the law but if they break the law, they must be punished accordingly. According to AP, Germany has paid more than 80 billion euros in reparations for their treatment of Jews in WW2. Now Israel must be made to pay the Palestinians for the way they have treated the Palestinians for the past 75 years.
The AP news item - BY KIRSTEN GRIESHABER
Published 1:50 PM GMT, September 15, 2022
BERLIN (AP) — The organization that handles claims on behalf of Jews who suffered under the Nazis said Thursday that Germany agreed to pay approximately $1.2 billion (euros) to Holocaust survivors living around the world in 2023, bringing its total compensation to more than 80 billion euros.
The announcement came as Germany marked the 70th anniversary of the signing of the so-called Luxembourg Agreements, a reparations pact that made it possible for Holocaust survivors to receive a measure of justice for the Nazi persecution of Jews during World War II.
Who is tat moron Heidi Bachram
ReplyDeleteHeidi Bachram? She's a reporter for the Jewish Chronicle and a member of Jews 4 Genocide
DeleteDo you think they will be holding a night time book burning Tony?

ReplyDeleteThe booklet will tell you nothing that isn't available in numerous other publications. Its chapter on Nazi-Zionist collaboration is the longest at 26 pages. It relies on very limited sources, such as Rabbi Shonfeld's Holocaust Victims Accuse which is not accurate in several respects. The chapter itself is wrong in several respects and doesn't fully understand the Kasztner Affair. It mentions Rudolf Vrba, whilst only mentioning his escape from Auschwitz in passing (whilst consistently misspelling his name) but doesn't mention the Auschwitz Protocols, which exposed the secret of Auschwitz/Birkenau as an extermination camp for the first time.
DeleteIt consists of a number of articles already printed in Harpal Brar's and the CPGBML's paper.
There is nothing in it that you won't learn from my own book Zionism During the Holocaust, which is over 500 pages, but that is not the point. There is nothing in it, including the front cover, which justifies the Police seizing it.

ReplyDeleteHistorically, the English liberalism of John Locke was a model for many societies including America, where the 1st Amendment guarantees free speech. But with cancel culture, no platforming and book confiscations, England is heading towards a creeping totalitarianism. What next? Thought police and thought criminals.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be recognised that the Star of David is a symbol of Judaism as well as of the Israeli State.
ReplyDeleteHow comes its a small party, the CPGB-ML, in the crosshairs of the establishment, but not the CPB ?
ReplyDeleteBecause the CPB, from what I hear, are basically pro-Labour Party, but the CPGB-ML aren't.
