As Labour & Tory Become Indistinguishable The New Party of Corbyn & Sultana Could See the Rebirth of the Left

 There Must Be No Repeat of Labour Under Corbyn 2015-19 The Appeasement of the Zionists & the Influence of Advisors like James Schneider Needs to be Curbed

Why Labour Lost | Interview With James Schneider

When Zarah Sultana announced her resignation from Labour and her joint leadership with Corbyn of a new party, Corbyn was forced to put an end to months of dithering and delay. However he was reported to be ‘so unhappy’ that ‘he only responded publicly two days later - his team described the timing of the announcement as "unfortunate".’

The Party has no name apart from Your Party. The Left Party, if only as an interim name is far more suitable! Either way it can't have no name.

Even though Starmer has retracted this rich, racist white 'feminist' has doubled down

The ‘Labour’ Government under Starmer has been worse than was feared. Attacks on claimants, repressive legislation and a speech by Starmer reminiscent of Enoch Powell’s 1968 Rivers of Blood speech with its reference to an ‘island of strangers’. Although Starmer ‘regretted’ it subsequently Yvette Cooper defended it.

Let us not forget the lies the Zionists and the genocidaires told last time around - they will do the same and more next time

There is a burning need for a mass party of the left. Having Corbyn and Sultana as joint leaders is sensible. However there can be no repeat of what happened from 2015-19 when Corbyn appeased and did the bidding of the Jewish Labour Movement despite the fact that the JLM was refounded with the intention of being rid of him. Its claim to be concerned with anti-Semitism was a lie and should have been called out by Corbyn who had much personal experience of being called anti-Semitic over the years.

Instead the JLM were allowed to pick their targets for expulsion. As we now know from their support for the genocide in Gaza, its sole concern is with defending Zionism and the Israeli State.

This extract from p.306 from the Labour Leaked Report shows how Corbyn and his office (LOTO -  Leader Of The Opposition) tried hard to appease the racists and the Zionists who had targeted their enemies carefully

Although it can be argued that Corbyn was ambushed by the Zionists when he was Labour leader by the false ‘anti-Semitism’ smears, he handled it appallingly. Corbyn threw his allies to the wolves in a vain attempt to appease his accusers.

Much of this was due to the advice of his closest advisors such as Seamus Milne and James Schneider. Their main strategy seemed to be to apologise and move on instead of stand and fight. Milne has disappeared to a well deserved obscurity but Schneider is very much alive and kicking. He cannot be allowed to wreak havoc a second time. As his interview above with Novara Media showed, six months after Starmer became leader, on why Labour lost the election he didn’t have a clue as to the nature of the attack on Corbyn.

Schneider didn’t once mention the false anti-Semitism smears that dominated Corbyn’s time in office. The concerted attacks of the Zionist press and the media in general that led to the EHRC case, which then led to Corbyn losing the Whip, went unmentioned. Nor did he mention it in July 2025 in an interview for New Left Review. Indeed the genocide in Gaza was only mentioned in passing. Anti-Zionism is not Schneider's strong point.

Schneider’s advice to Corbyn and the leadership of the new party needs to be treated with a hefty dose of salt given his record from 2015-2019. He needs to play a minor role rather than being seen as an oracle of wisdom. He still does not understand why Zionism is important to Britain’s imperial establishment. Schneider also complained about Zarah Sultana’s announcement of the new party with her resignation:

 Unfortunately, the party has already been launched even though it does not exist. We have been deprived of a carefully planned launch, but we can live with that.

Corbyn’s advisers cannot be allowed to dominate the new party because they will repeat their old errors. Nearly a year ago a letter  was sent (see below) to Corbyn asking him to reassess his period as leader in respect of the false anti-Semitism narrative that had been weaponised by the Labour Right and the bourgeois press, not least the Guardian.

The letter was signed by Chris Williamson, the MP that Corbyn threw overboard, Jackie Walker, the Black Jewish Vice Chair of Momentum before she was stabbed in the back by Jon Lansman and expelled; Asa Winstanley from Electronic Intifada who was suspended and then forced out of Labour and Anne Mitchell, former Chair of Brighton and Hove PSC, who was also expelled for ‘anti-Semitism’ along with myself as the first Jewish person to be expelled. 

We were all anti-Zionists not anti-Semites but Corbyn and his office threw red meat to the Zionists not realising that in the words of Rudyard Kipling, 'if once you have paid him the Dane-geld, You never get rid of the Dane.'  Substitute 'Zionist' for 'Dane' and you get the message. When you pay a blackmailer, the demands only increase, as they did from 2015-2019.


Corbyn did not to reply to our letter. There has been no reassessment of what happened either by him or his advisors, Schneider included. The consequence of the failure by Corbyn and his advisors to confront the false anti-Semitism smears was the accession of  Starmer to the leadership on a promise of rooting out ‘anti-Semitism’.

Today you cannot put a piece of paper between Starmer and Badenoch. That is why voters are turning to Reform. Our task is to take on the racist scapegoating of the right which Starmer has enabled with his attacks on the working class and poor and offer an alternative. 

James Schneider - Corbyn's closest advisor - but has he learnt anything from last time around?

Neo-liberalism has for the past 30 years seen a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. Capital has reigned supreme. It was the poor who paid for the banking crisis of 2008-9. It is not migrants who closed the mines, docks and shipyards but the free market. This is the message that we have to get across and point to things like Farage's support for an insurance system for the NHS that is modelled on what happens in the US.

Starmer, who described himself as a ‘Zionist without qualification’, has lived up to our worst fears. He has openly supported a genocide and the use of food as a weapon of war. Even now, despite his protestations he is arming the killers of children. However none of this should have been a surprise. A little due diligence would have outed this snake. When I was expelled the first person to welcome that was Starmer with a one word response 'good'. 

In February 2020, two months before the leadership election in April, I wrote, that ‘Keir Starmer is the candidate that the Deep State & the British Establishment want you to vote for’. It was patently obvious that Starmer was not going to stick to his 10 Pledges. I love the 4th Pledge about introducing a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and putting human rights at the centre of Britain's foreign policy! Yet many of Schneider's mates in Momentum actually supported Starmer.

No one lies quite like Starmer but the thing is, he is an unconvincing liar. He comes across as synthetic which is why people, even in his own constituency, have never warmed to him. Yet Corbyn, Schneider and the rest of his advisers tolerated this cuckoo in the nest.  Five minutes googling would have turned up his police state record as Director of Public Prosecutions.

Not just over Brexit but in his support of the false anti-Semitism smears and his vendetta against Julian Assange. Yet he was not removed and there is no reason to believe that any of Corbyn’s advisers gave serious thought to it. Schneider in particular has a lot to answer for.

My purpose in raising these issues is not to pour over the entrails of what went wrong last time but to learn from our mistakes. Having Karie Murphy and James Schneider as the key advisors to the leader of the new party is a recipe for disaster. Neither are anti-Zionists. Corbyn himself shows very few signs of learning anything from the genocide in Gaza. He is still a two statist whereas it is obvious that Israel is a genocidal state that has got to go the way of the South African Apartheid state.

The left in Britain has a history of failure.  We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past. The new party should welcome debate and different currents and factions. However it cannot have parties like the SWP operating within it with the sole purpose of recruiting to their own party. You cannot serve two masters.

The SWP and similar groups on the far-left have been failed projects. There are reasons for this, not least their failure to accept that the working class in Britain, atomised as it is after the Thatcher counter-revolution, is not an agent for revolution in Britain today. There is no organised proletariat. The Unions are far weaker today than they ever were.

Likewise with the Workers’ Party. Their recent showing in the Runcorn by-election of 0.5%, where they campaigned on ‘Stop the Boats’ and ‘Tough on Immigration’ means that although individual members are welcome in a new party George Galloway can’t be whilst he continues to think he can present a ‘left’ populist version of Farage’s Reform Party.  George is not someone to take advice and despite his many talents, not least as an orator, he is not a strategic thinker. His support for Brexit was another disastrous mistake.

One of our key tasks will be to break the trade unions from the Labour Party and Labourism. We have to convince their members that the link with Labour serves only the interests of the trade union bureaucracy. It is not in the interests of their members.

But we also have to be honest. If it wasn’t possible in the early part of the last century to form a revolutionary working class party or indeed in the 70s and 80s it’s certainly not possible now. That does not mean that the new party becomes simply a parliamentary party.

It has to be a party of the oppressed, the working class and those who are at the sharp end of capitalism and imperialism. It has to be a party of protest and direct action as well as operating in parliament. It also has to understand that the capitalist state is an entrenched and repressive political and social formation that is inherently undemocratic. But to pose revolutionary slogans and programs at this stage will simply confine the left to the margins.

The new party will have to face the issue of the Green Party, which is not a left-wing, still less a socialist party. The Green Party want to green capitalism not replace it. It is not a grassroots activist party and its main strategy is taking over the existing state without any serious plan to change it. It supports NATO and it supports Zionism whilst decrying what it is doing. It has adopted the IHRA like the rest of the political parties. In Germany Die Grunen was, along with the neo-Nazi AfD, the most pro-Zionist of all parties. Its former Foreign Secretary, Annalena Baerbock is a war criminal.

Yanis Varoufakis: Block Baerbock from the UN General Assembly

Many people are under illusions about the Green Party. In Brighton where they controlled the Council twice they were a disaster and not at all progressive. They not only gave no support to the Palestinians but they even voted alongside the Tories and Labour to support the IHRA fake definition of anti-Semitism, as they do nationally.

Owen Jones has suggested an electoral pact not to compete against each other. Tactically this may be worth thinking about with a First Past the Post electoral system, but it comes with the danger of sowing illusions in the Green Party. Regardless PR is a priority to prevent a repeat of a situation where someone like Starmer can obtain 63% of the seats with 34% of the vote. The lowest ever by a winning party.

The new party will not be a revolutionary party but a mixture of social democrats, activists, Marxists and those in between. A left reformist party intent on rolling back the authoritarian state that Starmer and Yvette Cooper are intent on bringing about with their proscription of Palestine Action and their introduction of a new Crime & Policing Bill banning  protests outside places of worship.

The old distinction between revolutionary socialists and reformists is to a large extent irrelevant in a situation which is not revolutionary and unlikely to be so. Our task is to reverse the drift to the right not establish the dictatorship of the proletariat. The pendulum has swung to the right in society and we have to swing it back again. There are a number of measures that can be taken.

The savage attacks on benefit claimants, the disabled in particular coupled with the massive increase in ‘Defence’ i.e. War expenditure and the continued privatisation of the NHS marks Starmer Labour as no different from the previous Tory government.

Reform is campaigning on putting all the blame on migrants and boat people. It is essential to point the finger at those responsible. The billionaire class, the banks and multinationals and a system whereby the rich are made richer, all of which is symbolised by a parasitic Royal Family. Reform are vulnerable on economic questions and a new party is in an ideal position to challenge them.

There must be a program of democratising the state. The Police, with their attacks on Palestine demonstrations have proved that whatever powers they are given they will abuse. They are accountable to no one and believe themselves qualified to decide what is and is not anti-Semitism. Their adoption of the fake IHRA definition of anti-Semitism demonstrates that they are happy to use British Jews as a pretext for preventing the right to protest.

The Police implement certain laws and not others. The International Criminal Court Act 2001 remains a dead letter. The Fox Hunting Act 2004 has never been enforced yet an obscure clause, Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 has seen dozens of activists arrested. Today’s Police are Orwell’s Thought Police.

The capitalist state is not neutral and never has been which is why Labour’s love affair with the Police was so disgusting. Their job should be preventing crime not policing dissent. Rape for example has been all but decriminalised. That means bringing the police under democratic control whilst resisting funding their desire for more repressive equipment.

A new party has to have a minimum programme. Nationalisation with little if any compensation of rail and the utilities. A state bank. An end to private involvement in the NHS and public control of the NHS.  A massive cut in so-called defence spending. An end to Trident and the British military role in foreign wars. A repeal of all the Tory and now Labour anti-protest and anti-trade union legislation. The BBC should be freed from the Zionist lobby and the warmongers.

We should also follow most of Europe and the United States in decriminalising possession of cannabis and growing for one’s own use. There should be massive investment in public transport alongside an end to the use of fossil fuels.

Internationally we should call for the decolonisation and de-Zionisation of Israel. An end to trade with Apartheid Israel. Two states is a neo-colonial solution whose time has gone and Corbyn needs to wake up to the fact that a Jewish state is a racist state which should go the way of South Africa.  

This should be coupled with a withdrawal from NATO which is an alliance of warmongers. NATO has been responsible for the war in Ukraine. Without NATO expansion up to Russian borders there would have been no war. Without American and European funding and involvement in the 2014 coup against a democratically elected President of Ukraine the war would not have started against the Russian speaking eastern region of the Donbas led by Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov regiment which in turn led to the Russian invasion.

The democratisation of the British state needs to be high on the list. The House of Lords should be abolished with its replacement by a second chamber elected in the regions by PR. A referendum should be held on getting rid of the monarchy and Britain becoming a republic and joining modernity. The abolition of the feudal ‘royal family’ with their absurd honours system, palaces and massive land holdings is long overdue.

The new party is polling up to 15%, level with Starmer Labour. Amongst the young, 18-29 it is 33%, ahead of both Labour and Reform. This is a brilliant place to start but it will only increase if the party begins organising as soon as possible from the bottom up. Meetings should be held in every constituency to form an organisation. The Party should be rooted in the localities.

There is a need for transparency which isn’t evident at the moment. I’ve had two mailings from ‘Your party’ whoever that is.  We need to know who is actually running the show. It is not good enough to wait until November. Who is calling the shots now. Putting in place a democratic regional structure should be a priority. Calling a conference to be called at the end of year which without local participation means it is likely to be more of a rally.

If the new Left Party is disciplined and doesn’t fall into the habit of fighting each other then it could do what the French left under Melechon did  in France which was to outpoll and prevent the fascist Front Nationale winning the parliamentary elections.

But we must also draw lessons from the French experience where Socialist Party elected representatives then abandoned ship. Anyone elected or standing for the Left Party must be held accountable and recallable. We should get away from the idea of professional politicians who see politics as a career.

But above all we should be prepared for the counter attack. When the party is established and seen to be credible that is the time when the BBC, Daily Mail, Express and Guardian will revive the ‘anti-Semitism’ smears, terrorism scares, patriotism and much else. In addition to accusing us of bankrupting the country by proposing that the billionaires should pay some tax for a change.

There must be no repeat of 2015-2019 where Corbyn’s first reaction was to apologise and then appease his critics. The way to defang our enemies is to go on the attack not concede to their arguments.

Last Saturday and Last Night Hundreds of People Marched Against Starvation in Gaza and Left Pots & Pans Outside the Offices of Starmer Clone & MP for Hove, Peter Kyle

Last Sunday 50 Jews & Christians 4 Genocide Danced & Celebrated the Genocide Meeting With a Hostile Reception by Local People

Brighton PSC March Against Starvation in Gaza 27 July 25

Last Saturday hundreds of people took to the streets of Brighton and Hove banging pots and pans, as a reminder of Israel’s starvation of the people of Gaza. We marched from the main shopping centre, Churchill Square to Hove Town Hall. We stopped off at the office of Starmer stooge Peter Kyle where we left our empty pots and pans.

Unlike the Zionist march of 50, half of whom came from London,  the Brighton Palestine Solidarity march was massive stretching all the way down Western Road

Kyle was Vice Chair of Labour Friends of Genocide Israel. People sitting in restaurants applauded us along the way. A contrast with the reception a Zionist march the next day received when people catcalled these vile fascists. People like Heidi Bachram lurked in the shadows and Little Miss Hitler aka Victoria Bhogal led the dancing and singing.

Christians & Jews4Genocide Stage a March in Brighton in Support of Starving Palestinian Children

People were revulsed at these creatures, literally dancing on the graves of Gaza’s children and seeming to take pleasure in the fact that children in Gaza were slowly dying of starvation. It is a famine that Israel is 100% responsible for having maintained a hermetically sealed blockade of Gaza for 3 months.

Brighton's iconic  clocktower where marches often end up

These Zionists are totally amoral rancid creatures. They talk about anti-Semitism but in reality they resemble the Nazis they purport to oppose. Which is probably why leading neo-Nazis like Tommy Robinson and Richard Spencer to say nothing of the Chump himself, as so in love with the ‘Jewish’ State.

James a Christian Fascist Holocaust Denier gets nicked Trying to Disrupt a Sit-in @ Brighton Station

I am copying a long article below by Professor Daniel Blatman, a holocaust historian and researcher at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. It is one of the best I have read on Zionist holocaust denial. He rightly compares it to the Turkish State’s denial of the Armenian holocaust and of course the denial of the Nazi holocaust.

We left a few pots and pans outside Kyle's office to remind him about the starvation of children that he and Sturmer have supported

Netanyahu has openly spoken about letting in the least aid that Israel can get away with. Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s Finance Minister and the man responsible more than any for the survival of Israel’s coalition government as well as a ‘proud homophobe’ and self-declared fascist has openly spoken about how ‘moral’ it would be to starve 2 million people.

On Tuesday 17 June, after sending a letter to Starmer and copying in Peter Kyle ‘Kerry’ was arrested after former Councillor and Kyle aide Chris Henry contacted the Police. It was alleged she was anti-Semitic because she was anti-Israel. As if anyone with an ounce of humanity could be anything but hostile to the genocidal Israeli state. It seems that the criticism is getting Kyle down. As for the Police, they seem to think they are messenger boys for Starmer and the Israeli Embassy.

Churchill Sq Demo & March to Peter Killer Kyle MP's Office & Hove Town Hall 26 July 25

What many people find difficult to understand is how those who lay claim to the holocaust as the justification for the very existence of the State of Israel can at one and the same time speak so openly about annihilating and exterminating the Palestinian people. No less than 47% of Israeli Jews, a plurality which becomes a majority if those who believe that the myth of Amalek is relevant today are included, want to see the extermination of the people of Gaza.

Zionists are the modern day Nazis - under Hitler disabled patients were starved to death - Israel has such good role models it's no wonder they collaborated with him at the time

There is also the attempt by the Zionists to counter the pictures of starving Palestinian children by alleging that they were all fake and that the children had ‘underlying health problems’.  Presumably it is fine if a child is ill anyway to deprive them of food too. This was precisely the Nazi attitude to the mentally and physically handicapped.

AUGUST 1 Hundreds Demonstrate Outside Peter 'Killer' Kyle MP Offices in Hove - NO STARVATION IN GAZA

Little Miss Hitler (Victoria Bhogal) Led the Child Killer March of the Zionists

The March of the Zionist Baby Killers 27 July 25

Hitler called them ‘useless eaters’. It is remarkable how the Zionists are following in the footsteps of those who carried out the holocaust of Jews. It is almost as if the Zionists cannot help themselves when they imitate the arguments of those who they purport to oppose.

Prime amongst these genocide denial propagandists is Israeli ‘researcher' David Collier who poses as an independent investigator but is a far-right Zionist. I have footage of him in a debate with David Hirsh and other far-right Zionists in which he refers to Palestinians as ‘it’ and denies there’s any such thing as Palestinian refugees.

In the wake of the Zionists' March for Genocide the local Argus was filled with letters of disgust from those who don't appreciate Jewish holocaust deniers

The Zionists Run Into Public Hostility - They Can't Imagine Why People Don't Like Starving Children

Zionists can only mirror Nazi ideology because they have depoliticised the Nazis and the Holocaust. Instead of economic, political, social and psychological explanations, the Nazis are treated as demonic by the Zionists. They hated Jews because they were Jews. That’s it, no other reasons. They were beyond history.

The Empty Pots and Pans Symbolise the Empty Stomachs in  Gaza - Protest August 1st


The Nazis’ anti-communism, belief that women’s place was in the home, hatred of gays and sexual minorities as well as their contempt for indigenous people, including Arabs, is eliminated. Zionist holocaust historians strip the Nazis of any explanation based on eugenics and the need for racial breeding or improvement.  The best representative of this was Yehuda Bauer of the Hebrew University. For him the only victims of the holocaust were Jews.

This is why all the familiar Nazi phrases about lebensraum (living space) or racial cleansing keep cropping up in Zionist debate and argument. Israeli government ministers have repeatedly talked about ‘cleansing’ Gaza. Racial cleansing was integral to Nazi eugenics and it is equally applicable to Zionist ethnic cleansing.


Zionists Face Public Hostility As They March in Support of Starving Children It Must Be Antisemitism

In her book Eichmann in Jerusalem – The Banality of Evil Hannah Arendt noted the hypocrisy with which the prosecution attacked the Nazi’s Nuremberg Laws of 1935 which stripped German Jews of  German nationality and citizenship. ‘There was certainly something breathtaking’ Arendt wrote

in the naivete with which the prosecution denounced the infamous Nuremberg Laws of 1935 which had prohibited intermarriage and sexual intercourse between Germans and Jews. The better informed among the correspondents were well aware of the irony but they did not mention it in their reports.’

The irony Arendt was referring to was the fact that ‘Israeli  citizens – religious and nonreligious – seemed agreed upon the desirability of having a law which prohibits intermarriage.’ (p.8)

Daniel Blatman in The Victim Identity Israel Built Over Generations Now Fuels Its Denial of Genocide in Gaza, notes as I did in my previous blog, the role of Yad Vashem, Israel’s holocaust museum, in refusing to speak out about the current genocide or indeed say anything about the plethora of genocidal statements that Israeli politicians have made.

Yad Vashem’s only role is to safeguard the memory of the Holocaust as the exclusive property of Jews as its former Chairman, Avner Shalev, admits. No one else died because of their biological inheritance. Only the Jews suffered a genocide. The Roma, the Disabled, the Poles and Russians, are simply invisible in Zionist historiography. Only Jewish blood counts.


This is the victim centred discourse that is at the centre of Zionist justifications for the barbarities in Gaza today. The holocaust of the Jews justifies the holocaust of the Palestinians. And the Holocaust Industry nods its head.


In Britain Karen Pollock of the Holocaust Educational Trust is one of the principal exponents of the idea that the Holocaust or Shoah as Israel calls it, should be reserved solely for Jewish victims of the Nazis. If, God forbid, anyone should include the Palestinians, then that is anti-Semitic in itself.



In an article Holocaust Memorial Day should only be about the Shoah Pollock writes in the Jewish Chronicle (where else?) of ‘our duty to remember the Holocaust’ and warns against

‘attempts to dilute this crucial mission, to make the day less “exclusive”, broadening its scope in a way that risks eroding the uniquely Jewish experience of the Holocaust and to erase antisemitism from the narrative of the day.

In Pollock’s eyes including any other victims of genocide or holocausts is to ‘dilute’ the meaning of holocaust memorial and Holocaust Memorial Day. Why? Because the unique victimhood of Jews in her eyes is a precondition of the victimhood that Israel claims for itself even whilst it  murders and burns alive children in Gaza. The Holocaust has become Israel’s prime justification even whilst Israeli society becomes genocidal en masse.

It is another of life’s ironies that anti-Semitism in Germany was never respectable. Hitler played down his anti-Semitism in the three years leading up his accession to power. The Nazis worked hard to try and convince Germans of the merits of anti-Semitism and never succeeded in fully accomplishing the task of ideological indoctrination.

That is one reason why the Holocaust was kept a close state secret and when Nazi leaders spoke of the extermination of the Jews they used euphemisms such as ‘special measures’ or indeed Final Solution, even amongst themselves. They were never able to justify the annihilation of the Jews and Roma, still less the handicapped openly.

Contrast that with Israelis who openly boast of the delight they take in raping, torturing and murdering Palestinians. Israel has become a genocidal nation, an anti-nation. It is a nation bound only by its hatred of the other. That is why I reject the argument of some Israeli Marxists and Trotskyists that there is a separate Israeli nation alongside the Palestinians.

The Independent reported that Pollock had

made it clear she is particularly angry about the language and symbols on protests against Israel and the war in Gaza following Hamas’s attack on the state on 7 October last year.... Ms Pollock warned that the distortion of language about the Holocaust as a means to attack Israel is putting democratic values at risk.’


Demonstration Outside the Offices of Peter 'Killer' Kyle MP on August 1st

Karen Pollock, like most Zionists, is not endowed with intelligence or rational thinking. When arguments of kith and kin take over your thinking then this encourages sloppy and lazy reasoning. Pointing out that Israelis calling for the extermination of the Palestinians are similar to Nazis who did the same to Jews is putting democracy at risk!! The ability to twist and distort concepts such as democracy to fit in with Jewish Supremacy is the only thing that Zionists like Pollock are skilled at.

Yet if Pollock and Zionism’s propagandists are scribes who repeat cliche’s that they have learnt by rote from an Israeli Embassy crib sheet, words without meaning, then Professor Yehuda Elkana, the former Rector of the Central University in Budapest, (before Netanyahu’s anti-Semitic friend Viktor Orban shut it down) was the opposite. Elkana was a deeply thoughtful man.

Elkana was also a child survivor of Auschwitz. On 2nd March 1988 he wrote a famous article on The Need to Forget the holocaust. Elkana argued that the memorialisation of the holocaust in the way it is done in Israel was endangering not enhancing democracy. He wrote:

Demonstration Outside the Offices of Peter 'Killer' Kyle MP on August 1st

The very existence of democracy is endangered when the memory of the dead participates actively in the democratic process. Fascist regimes understood this very well and acted on it. We understand it today, and it is no accident that many studies of Nazi Germany deal with the political mythology of the Third Reich. Relying on the lessons of the past in order to build the future, exploiting past suffering as a political argument - these mean involving the dead in the political life of the living.

Thomas Jefferson once wrote that democracy and worship of the past are incompatible. Democracy fosters the present and the future. Too much of "Zechor!" (Remember) and an addiction. to the past undermine the foundations of democracy.

The Zionists are now trying to pretend that there's no starvation in Gaza - that all the children dying had 'underlying health conditions' - like the Nazis they are they don't believe those who might already be ill        should be fed - strange that their bones are all showing

Elkana warned against the permanent victim status that fuels the holocaust in Gaza speaking of

a profound existential Angst fed by a particular interpretation of the lessons of the holocaust … that we are the eternal victim. In this ancient belief… I see the tragic and paradoxical victory of Hitler. Two nations, metaphorically speaking, emerged from the ashes of Auschwitz: a minority who assert, this must never happen again, and a frightened and haunted majority who assert, this must never happen to us again.

Demonstration Outside the Offices of Peter 'Killer' Kyle MP on August 1st

There are a number of things we can do practically. One is to rid institutions of the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism which is a device to brand the struggle of the indigenous Palestinians as anti-Semitic. It defames anti-colonial struggles. It says any comparisons between Zionism, Israel and Nazism is automatically anti-Semitic as is any description of the Israeli settler colonial process or the establishment of a ‘Jewish’ state.

Demonstration Outside the Offices of Peter 'Killer' Kyle MP on August 1st

It is no wonder that the British Establishment have taken it to their heart. The Police have adopted it as a means of prosecuting Palestine solidarity activists. What is baffling is how the academic prostitutes who run universities, the Vice-Chancellors who betray the very notion of academic freedom, have adopted this illiterate jumble of words which have no coherent theme apart from an automatic defence of Israel.

The Empty Pots and Pans Symbolise the Empty Stomachs in  Gaza - Protest August 1st

As Stephen Sedley, the Jewish former Court of Appeal Judge wrote in Defining Anti-Semitism, the IHRA being indefinite isn’t even a definition. Professor Geoffrey Alderman, one of the few honest Zionists (which is why he was banned from its pages, after being a Jewish Chronicle columnist for 14 years) described it as ‘flawed and faulty’  and that its 11 examples of anti-Semitism embed(ed) numerous internal contradictions’.

We should also campaign for states to break their ties with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance as Brazil has done. That is a concrete step which is of some use unlike the utterly pathetic ‘recognition’ of a Palestinian state that doesn’t exist.

As Hussein Agha and Robert Malley argue, recognition of a Palestinian state that doesn’t exist is a distraction from the main task of ending the genocide in Gaza.
