The Jewish Chronicle Has a New Editor, Daniel Schwammenthal, and it Seems
They’ve Realised That a Propaganda Rag Cannot Be a Newspaper
Edward Isaacs was Chair of Bristol’s
Jewish (in fact Israel) Society when the campaign began in earnest against a
sociology professor, David Miller. McCarthyism came easily to this spoilt rich
Zionist brat.
Solomon got into a debate with me
which he badly lost, resulting in him deleting his comments.Isaacs merely threatened to sue me with
Daddy’s money if I called him a liar again. So that’s what I did.I called him a liar but no libel writ arrived
so I guess it is an established fact now that Edward Isaacs, Chair of UJS from 2023-4 is a liar.
Naturally I put up a blog which
remained up until yesterday. Now there is simply a page that says that the blog does not
exist though it still appears on a Google search.
This is what Google objected to - the truth
Fortunately, some years ago, I
decided that the risks of Google taking down a blog that has existed for some
16+ years were too great and I therefore invested in a website and a domain
which is based in the United States. All my posts on Blogspot have been copied
onto it including all legacy posts, just in case.
This is all that remains of my deleted blog!! Except on my shadow blog
Although it costs me an arm and a
leg, hence my occasional appeals to readers, it is worth it not to let the
Zionists destroy what is also a history of the Palestine solidarity movement in
this country. You can however access it here.
This is Blogspot's Explanation for Deleting a 31/2 year old post
Twice in the last year Google has
taken down posts. This never used to happen and so I am thinking of leaving
blogspot altogether and simply posting to my own site.
I therefore invite people to go to
the post Edward Isaacs is a Liar on my site to see what has been
irking Isaac’s for the past 3+ years. He was clearly hoping to join LAW in
order tospy on people there but I
always check people who apply to join in case they are Zionists.
Isn’t it strange how these young
amoral Zionists, who are so ready to call people ‘anti-Semites’ become so
touchy when they are accused of not telling the truth?
Is the Jewish Chronicle Changing Under Its New Editor Daniel
Schwammenthal?
It was
inevitable after the public relations fiasco in which the Jewish Chronicle was found to have been printing as ‘Exclusives’
lying disinformation from Netanyahu’s office via a pimp who called himself a journalist,
I refer toElon Perry, that its
obnoxious, racist Editor Jake Wallis Simons had to go. Although he took nearly
6 months to get the message.
Perry had
claimed to have taken part in the Entebbe raid a mere 48 years ago, as well as
having been a professor at Tel Aviv University for 15 years. Clearly he was a
Walter Mitty character but then that fitted in well at the JC. The JC was was happy
to have him write complete fabrications because printing lies is what it
specialised in.
The fable
that did him was about how Hamas leader, Yayha Sinwar was trying to escape to
Iran with the hostages and that was why Israel needed to stay in the
Philadelphia corridor in order to prevent such occurrences. There was no truth
in this story and as we know, Sinwar died a martyr’s death throwing, with his
last gasp of breath, a stick at the drone which located him. ‘Sinwar’s stick’
has since become famous as a symbol of Palestinian bravery and resistance.
However
this time it was the Israeli end which did for editor Jake Wallis-Simons, whose
other speciality was as a soft-porn novelist. Netanyahu’s disinformationhad been part of a war against the army top
brass and his political enemies. Hence why they were quick to rubbish the
story.As the Guardian commented
Despite being provided with a series of questions,
Wallis Simons and the JC have so far declined to describe how Perry – an
individual with no discernible journalistic track record, let alone as an
investigative reporter – came to be writing for the paper or what due diligence
had been exercised over an increasingly fantastic series of claims.
I mention
all of this because Agnes Kory, a child survivor of the Nazi holocaust, sent me
a copy of a letter she had sent to the Jewish Chronicle supporting the picket
of Tzipi Hotoveli, the Israeli Ambassador, in Swiss Cottage where she lives.
I wished
her good luck but I doubted very much that they would print it. Imagine my
surprise when the Jewish Chronicle did just
that! Under Pollard or Simons the chances are that Agnes’s letter
would have ended up in the electronic equivalent of the waste paper basket.
At the same
time I was contacted by a JC reporter,
Jane Prinsley about a story they were doing about the demonstrations at Swiss
Cottage. You may not think this is unusual but for the JC it is an innovation. Jane actually contacted me before writing
the story!
It is of
course good journalistic practice to contact people you intend to write about
but it is not something that the JC have
done since Pollard became Editor in 2008.
Imagine my
surprise when I read Prinsley’s article. Even
though it didn’t include all my points, it did accurately quote from the 3 out
of 6 that they did use. I can’t imagine that Marcus Dysch or ‘Liar’ Lee even considering
contacting their victims.
As I said
in a letter to the JC (which I don’t
expect to be published!) when ‘Liar’ Lee Harpin used to write articles
involving me it was a pleasant past-time to see how many mistakes I could
identify in each article. This is perhaps why the paper experienced
so many adverse judgements of IPSOS, the so-called independent body that
investigates complaints against newspapers and why it suffered so many
libel defeats too.
As Jonathan Cook wrote ‘the
Jewish Chronicle’s libel payouts were a small price to pay for smearing
Corbyn and the left.’
The JC literally did not care if its
stories were true or not.The main
objective was to damage Corbyn and the Left, which is why an unknown consortium
was prepared to finance the paper despite knowing that it could only make
losses as readers abandoned it. The BBC’s Director Robbie Gibb
man fronted the take-over of the JC
by anonymous billionaires.
My satirical letter to the Jewish Chronicle
The scandal involving Perry resulted in the JC's four principal columnists, headed
by Jonathan Freedland and David Aaronovitch, resigning. The rats were
abandoning ship.
Despite his attempts to cling on, Jake Wallis
Simon’s days were numbered.Whether this
results in any substantive change in the JC
is to be doubted. To date the JC has
operated on the basis that 99.99% of British Jews are fully fledged Zionists. Jewish
anti-Zionism has disappeared from its pages. The reality of what is happening
to the Palestinians never even makes it into their pages thus reinforcing the
belief that Palestinians (‘Arabs’) don’t like Israel because they are born anti-Semitic
rather than that they might object to living in an apartheid state that steals
their land.

towards its Final Solution, Trump, Starmer and Germany’s Genocidal

Zionism’s Endgame: a ‘Final
Solution’ for the Palestinians, w/ Tony Greenstein
We are living in a world where our
rulers don’t even pretend to be on the side of the angels. Their amorality is a
badge of pride.
As far as Trump is concerned all that
matters in Ukraine is American access to Ukraine’s rare minerals. Likewise in
Gaza, never mind the people, what is important is the potential value of Mediterranean
real estate.The fact that 2 million
people live there is irrelevant.
Fact Check on Genocidal Song on Israel’s Kan Public
Broadcaster
You might think that after 4
genocides to their credit that the German state would be reluctant to support a
fifth genocide. Not a bit of it. German politicians have embraced Israel’s
genocide in Gaza because it makes them feel better about their own genocides. What
could be better than a ‘Jewish’ state perpetrating the genocide.
Israel's Oldest & Most Popular Podcast - 2 Nice Jewish Boys Discuss
Erasing Gaza
Zionism and its bastard state, has played
the role of helping the German State come to terms with the Nazi holocaust. Now
that a far-right party, the AfD, a
large portion of whose membership consists of neo-Nazis, has come second in the
elections, the German state is moving towards a relativisation of the Holocaust.
It is no surprise that Israel’s Diaspora Minister is a fan of Hitler saluting
Elon Musk.
The Netherland's Fascist Leader Geert Wilders and Israel's Labor President Isaac Herzog Get On Famously
After all. If Israel can perpetrate a
holocaust in Gaza why should Germany be forever burdened with a guilt complex over
its holocaust?It is difficult to argue
with such logic.
Israel’s Friendship Song of
Annihilation – as sung by Israeli school children
For those who doubt that Germany has
participated in 5 genocides then here they are: the Maji Maji
genocide in East Africa/Tanganyika, the Nama/Herero genocide,
the Turkish genocide
of Armenia (Germany was in alliance with Turkey inWW1), the Jewish/Nazi holocaust and now the
Israeli holocaust in Gaza.
I say this by way of introduction.
Netanyahu has done all he could to get back to the genocide in Gaza and has
broken the ceasefire repeatedly. Less aid has gone in than was agreed, Israeli
soldiers have repeatedly killed civilians and as I write the release of the
last batch of Palestinian hostages has been delayed on another pretext.
Tony Greenstein at the Glasgow Anti-Racist/Palestine Solidarity
Demonstration March 2024
There isn’t an agreement that Israel
has been party to that hasn’t been broken.Israel was supposed to be out of Lebanon but it is now saying that it
will maintain 5 permanent bases,
naturally in support of its ‘right to self defence’. It has also made it clear
that it is staying in Southern Syria following the fall of Assad.
I sometimes think how unlucky Nazi
Germany was with its propaganda chief. Goebbels really wasn’t up to it. If
Hitler had the benefit of the Daily Mail and
BBC then every conquest he made could
have been presented as an act of self-defence.
Israel’s goal today remains the same.
The removal of the Palestinians from Gaza. In my interview with Rania I was
sceptical of their ability to pull it off but as time goes on I am increasingly
fearful that they may get away with a large-scale ‘transfer’ given the supine
nature of the Arab leaders and the willingness of the Americans to support it.
European leaders’ opposition isn’t
worth a bucket of warm spit. We can see Netanyahu prepare the ground with his ludicrous lies that the two Bibas children were killed by Hamas.We should treat this story on a par with the allegations that Hamas had chopped off the heads of 40 babies which what
the media ran with.It was a lie then
and it is a lie now.
But who should leap out to amplify
the false stories that Netanyahu, an inveterate and well known liar
peddled?Why our own snake-like Foreign
Secretary, David Lammy and of course the viperous Sturmer
himself.
Hostage kisses Hamas
Those who repeat Israel’s lies about
child-killers are deliberately paving the way for a continued genocide and ethnic
cleansing in Gaza. Instead of directing their fire at the torture, starvation,
rapind to death and the appalling condition of the Palestinian hostages and
noting the welcome and friendly relations of many of the Israeli prisoners with
their Palestinian captors, Starmer and the BBC focus on yet more Zionist
atrocity propaganda.
All the evidence is, as Yocheved Lifshitz said, that Hamas treated
Israel's captives humanely
The vile killing of the Bibas children by Hamas terrorists is sick and abhorrent, as is the failure to return the body of their mother Shiri to the grieving family. Her body must be returned. The hostages must be released. This nightmare must end. https://t.co/dScjVpbySh
There is little doubt that Netanyahu
and his fellow war-criminals are itching to restart the genocide. It is
incumbent upon the anti-war movement in this country to step up the protests.
Starmer and Lammy have not issued on word of protest at Israel’s mistreatment
of the Palestinian prisoners, their humiliating release and abuse. The token
demonstrations wandering through London have to step up. Our first rallying
point should be the BBC and the Metropolitan Police with their ‘anti-Semitism’
scam should be told to go to hell. We will meet at the BBC because they are the
originators of the lies that facilitate genocide.
Interviews with Katie Halper and Rania Khalek
In January and February I was
interviewed on a wide range of topics by Katie Halper and Rania Khalek. These
included my arrest on October 4 for calling Israel ‘Hitler’s Bastard Offspring’.
The filth didn’t like the comparison. They even thought it was anti-Semitic
though the thick plod were unable to explain why in my interview.
As I explained to Katie, anti-Zionist
Jews are invisible so perhaps that is why. But if they weren’t so stupid they
would understand that Zionism is of Christian not Jewish origin.Jews always opposed Zionism until the
holocaust apart from a few freaks and reactionaries.
Of course today the Zionists exploit
the holocaust for all its worth with Gilad Erdan, Israel’s representative to
the UN donning a Yellow Star.
His comparison with the Jewish dead of the holocaust was sickening. If he had had
any integrity he would have worn a swastika.Zionism has always exploited the Jews who died in the holocaust whom Zionism
turned its back on.
According to
Chaim Weizmann, Israel’s first President, the Jews who died in the holocaust were:
dust on the wheels of history and they
may have to be blown away. We don’t want them pouring into Palestine. We don’t
want Tel Aviv to become another low-grade ghetto.
Erdan ‘forgot’ to mention that during
the Hitler era the Zionists were the Nazis favourite Jews. Explaining why
Zionists were the good Jews, unlike the ‘assimilationist’ Jews who kept on
insisting that they were Jewish Germans, Reinhardt Heydrich, head of the SS,
said:
The activity of the
Zionist-oriented youth organisations that are engaged in the occupational
restructuring of the Jews … lies in the interest of the National Socialist
state’s leadership. (These organizations) are not to be treated with that
strictness that it is necessary to apply to the members of the so-called
German-Jewish organizations (assimilationists).
I also explained my own conversion to
anti-Zionism having been brought up in a Zionist family. I was brought up on
the lie that the Palestinian refugees voluntarily left their homes and villages
rather than being expelled at the point of a gun.
I also explained how, when Zionism
first arose, the only people who welcomed it were anti-Semites and that this is
true today too.I specifically mentioned
the President of America’s million strong Christians
United 4 Israel, John Hagee, who gave a sermon explaining why Hitler
was god’s emissary sent to drive the Jews to Palestine.
Orthodox Jews in particular opposed
Zionism. Agudat Yisrael was founded as a specifically anti-Zionist
organisation. This gives the lie to the claims of
Britain’s racist Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis that Zionism and Judaism have been
intertwined for 3,000 years.
I also went into the content of my
book in some depth explaining that for the Zionists building a ‘Jewish’ state
was the first priority in the holocaust and that Ben-Gurion is notorious for saying that if
there was a choice to be made between rescuing and saving Jews and building
their bastard state, the latter comes first.
When Britain offered to take 10,000
Jewish children in the wake of Kristallnacht the Zionists were outraged that
they weren’t going to Palestine. In a speech to Mapai’s (Israeli Labor Party)
Central Committee Ben-Gurion said:
If I knew that it
would be possible to save all the children in Germany by bringing them over to
England, and only half of them by transporting them to Eretz Yisrael, then I
would opt for the second alternative. For we must weigh not only the life of
these children, but also the history of the People of Israel.
I also described the Kasztner Affair and the
resulting trial in Israel from 1954-8 when the leader of Hungarian Zionism, a
senior official and candidate in Mapai (the Israeli Labor Party) for the next
elections, Rudolf Kasztner, sued for libel when he was accused of being a Nazi
collaborator. He lost when it transpired that he had spent his time post-war at
Nuremberg testifying in favour of Nazi war criminals.
Kasztner had concluded a deal with
Eichmann that if the Nazis agreed to a train out of Hungary for the select few
(Zionists, bourgeois and a few rabbis) he would not inform Hungarian Jews of
the Auschwitz Protocols which two escapees from Auschwitz had written detailing
where they would go if they boarded a deportation train. Up till then no one
knew that Auschwitz was an extermination camp. Kasztner went so far as to
misinform those who were deported that they were travelling to a fictious
resettlement camp, Kenyermeze.
With Rania I gave an outline of the
development of Zionist historiography of the holocaust and how it had been
distorted to accord with Zionist myths of Jewish resistance. Zionism has rewritten
the letters and memoirs of the Zionist resistance fighters in the Warsaw ghetto
eliminating their criticisms of the Zionist movement.This was in order that their writings should accord
with the Zionist narrative that they led the resistance and were heroes rather
than sordid collaborators.
The Zionist historians had also
erased entirely the role of Jewish anti-Zionists, in particular the Jewish
anti-Zionist Bund and its leader, the last Commander of the Resistance, Marek
Edelman.
With Rania I first discussed Trump’s
ethnic cleansing plans. I was sceptical that they would succeed but I am less
so now as all the indications are that Israel is looking for an excuse to
resume the genocide.
We discussed the reaction of Israeli
Jews to the plan. 80% support it and
just 3% think its amoral. Which means that 97% of Israelis are not only amoral
bastards but genocidaires too.The other
17% either can’t make their mind up about it or think it’s not practical.
I imagine some Nazis also thought the
extermination of Jews, Poles, Gays, Roma etc. was not practical. This is the morality
of Israelis and that’s why I find it hard to explain why in a democratic,
secular stateIsraeli Jews would have
the right to national rights as Jews. It is difficult explaining why Palestinians
should be forced to live side by side with genocidal would be murderers.
There is an overwhelming case for American
Jews with 2 passports, especially the settlers on the West Bank, to be deported
back to Brooklyn.
I also explained that Hitler didn’t
start out with a plan to genocide the Jews. His plan, like the Zionists was
ethnic cleansing.It was only when that
failed that genocide became his only option if he wanted to be rid of the Jews.
The same ‘dilemma’ faces the Zionists.If it can’t be expulsion it must be holocaust.
I went into how the very history of
the holocaust had been rewritten by the Zionists to emphasise Jewish
resistance, despite it being very low apart from the Warsaw Ghetto and a few
others such as at Bialystock which went off at half cock, Lachwa and Minsk.
We discussed the situation of Arab
Jews in Israel and how Israel deliberately set out to destabilise their
position in 1948. In Iraq it is well documented
that they planted bombs in synagogues and other places Jews frequented in order
to stimulate flight. Avi Shlaim, an Emeritus Professor at Oxford University in
his book Three Worlds has
recently come up with further proof of Zionist involvement in the bombings.
When the Zionist underground threw a
grenade into the courtyard of the Masudo Shemtov synagogue in Baghdad, killing
2 people, they stimulated a mass emigration of the oldest Jewish community in
the world.Out of 135,000 Jews only
10,000 remained after 1951.
I also told how when they arrived in
Israel Iraq’s Jews were treated like animals and were sprayed with DDT. Three Worlds also explains how a rich
cultured community were turned into poor labourers in Israel, forced to sleep
in tents and how they were deArabised.
I described how Holocaust Worship today leads to the creation
of holocaust museums (but not for Black slaves or the Native Indians) such as
the United StatesHolocaust Museum where
history has been rewritten.When I went
there Pastor Niemoller’s saying ‘First
they came for ...’ was hanging above the entrance except it had been changed.
The first category was ‘First they came
for the communists’ but that wouldn’t do in cold war America so it was
omitted.
I also showed how two-thirds of the members of the Judenrate,
the Nazi Councils that the Nazis established to help implement the Final
Solution, were Zionist. It was the Judenrate and not the Nazis who rounded up
Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. Rania observed that the Palestinian Authority was
the Palestinian equivalent of the Judenrate!
I quoted Hannah Arendt who said in her book Eichmann in Jerusalem that
Wherever Jews lived, there were recognized Jewish leaders, and this
leadership, almost without exception, cooperated in one way or another, for one
reason or another, with the Nazis. The whole truth was that if the Jewish
people had really been unorganized and leaderless, there would have been chaos
and plenty of misery but the total number of victims would hardly have been
between four and a half and six million people.[1]
I told how the Warsaw ghetto resistance’s first task was to
execute Jewish collaborators. They couldn’t have organised a rebellion with the
collaborators operating. This is equally true of the Palestinian revolution. It
too has to execute its collaborators.
Katie discussed my book, Zionism During the Holocaust in some
depth in particular how the Zionist movement has weaponised Jewish suffering
and anti-Semitism whilst refusing to draw any universal lessons from the Holocaust.
I also spoke about my arrest under the Terrorism Acts and the attacks on the
Palestine solidarity movement in Britain and Europe.
I won’t even attempt to summarise the
topics we discussed but I enjoyed both interviews which were penetrating and
thoughtful. At a time when Israel is committing genocide in Gaza as a
consequence of colonial expansion and in the cause of racial purity, it is
incumbent on Jewish anti-Zionists to speak out against the horrors that are
taking place in our name.
Another point of comparison between Israel
and Nazi Germany is Israel’s policy of starvation of Gaza’s civilian population.
This is taken straight out of the Nazi playbook. 20% of the Warsaw ghetto, some
80,000 people, died from starvation. An even higher percentage died in Lodz,
the second biggest ghetto in Poland. Hans Frank, the Nazi governor of Poland,
spoke of Death By Hunger as does Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s Finance Minister,
who is of the opinion that starving 2 million people to
death would be ‘moral’ if only the West would allow him to get away with it!
The mass executions that Israel has
carried out and the mass graves, to say nothing of the torture camps, resemble
nothing so much as the Nazi policies towards the civilian population of the
countries they occupied. In some ways they are worse.
The major difference between Nazi
Germany and Israel is that anti-Semitism in Germany itself was mainly confined
to a hardcore of the Nazi party, the ‘old fighters’ whereas in Israel genocidal
racism is supported by the overwhelming majority of the Jewish population.
This is perhaps best summed up in the
hilarious story of a Zionist who went in search
of Palestinians to kill in Miami Beach, Florida and ended up shooting two
Israelis who he thought looked like Palestinians! The Israelis, assuming it was
an anti-Semitic attack by Palestinians, signed off with ‘death to the Arabs’ on Facebook.
According to the bogus IHRA
‘definition’ of anti-Semitism, it is anti-Semitic to compare Israel to Nazi
Germany (but is it anti-German to compare Nazi Germany to Israel?!). Yet
Israelis go out of their way to draw such parallels themselves. A Nazi
mentality has descended on the Jewish population of Israel.
An article in Ha’aretz
'When You Leave Israel and Enter Gaza, You Are God': described how many
soldiers in Gaza reported moral injuries: "I felt like, like, like a Nazi
... it looked exactly like we were actually the Nazis and they were the
Jews."
When the local police at SNTEK-PrimroseHill@met.police.uk decided to
try and mobilise local opinion against the weekly demonstrations about Israel’s Genocidal Ambassador, Tzipi Hotoveli, it was an open invitation to their Zionist friends to get their mates
London-wide to join in.
When the local filth tried to obtain ‘impact statements’ from residents of Swiss Cottage, it was obvious that Zionist groups would try and swamp the police Inbox with bogus replies. Sure enough the Israel
Supporters WhatsApp group has done just that, inviting all their mates
London-wide.
Impact statements are only given at court hearings from the
victims of crime, so the very use of this term betrayed the Police’s mentality
that demonstrations are a crime.
As one local resident told me, the noise of the traffic is such that anyone complaining about noise is simply lying. I suggest that Palestine supporters do the same.

The Metropolitan Police Letter Which Encouraged Residents to Complain About the Demonstrations Against Israeli Ambassador, Tzipi Hotoveli
A
Reply to Susan Caplan, a Zionist Who Wrote That the Demonstrations ‘Must Not Be Allowed to Continue’
There was a time when the Police professed to be politically neutral.
However that has gone out of the window as the Commissioner of the Metropolitan
Police, Sir Mark Rowley, openly boasted of how he
is cracking down on Palestinian demonstrations in London.
Rowley’s reasons are really quite touching for someone who is in charge
of an organisation which has been found to be institutionally racist by numerous inquiries, including by the
historic MacPherson Inquiry into the
murder of Black teenager, Stephen Lawrence.
Although
the Inquiry didn’t get to the bottom of the Police’s links with his killers,
subsequent further information emerged from Victoria and Naomi Smith, who were
related to the Norris family, whose son David Norris was eventually gaoled for
Stephen’s murder. Clifford Norris, the father of David Norris, used a network of corrupt
Metropolitan police officers to protect himself and his close
relations from justice.
To this day there has been no investigation into these claims of police
corruption. But rest assured. Although the murder of a Black teenager didn’t impact
on the Met until the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry reached its damning verdict, the
Met are however very sensitive to the impact of demonstrations against Genocide
in Gaza on Zionist Jews. So much so that they go out of their way to get them
to make complaints.
The Met’s assumption that all Jews are supportive of Genocide in
Palestine and Israeli Apartheid is itself anti-Semitic. And why not? In the
1930s from my own research Brighton Police entertained visiting delegations of
the German Police, even when, after 1936, Heinrich Himmler was put in charge of both
the German Police and the SS.
Of course attacks on free speech and the right of assembly aren’t
confined to Britain. In Switzerland two weeks ago the Executive Director of
Electronic Intifada, Ali Abunimah was kidnapped off the
street and held incommunicado for three days before being expelled from the
country. Ali had been invited to address a meeting on Palestine.
Last Tuesday police and
politicians in Germany tried to cancel a meeting in
Berlin featuring Francesca Albanese, the U.N. special rapporteur on the
occupied Palestinian Territories. Organisers were forced to move the event to a
smaller venue.
The
organizers, DiEM25, said in a statement on its
website:
“In a
deeply concerning escalation, the organisers of ‘Reclaiming the Discourse:
Palestine, Justice, and Truth’ – an event featuring UN Rapporteur for
the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese –
are facing ruthless attacks on their fundamental rights to freedom of speech,
assembly, and expression.
The venue, Kühlhaus Berlin, faced immense pressure from German
politicians and the Berlin police to cancel the event. This is not only a disgrace
but a direct assault on the rule of law and the core principles of democracy.
It also represents an attack on businesses coerced into submission through
mafia-like tactics, where intimidation has reached alarming extremes. …
LIVE
FROM BERLIN: Palestine, Justice and the Power of Truth with Francesca Albanese
and more
In the 1930s when anti-Semitism was a real issue, the Metropolitan
Police sided with the fascists and at the Battle of Cable Street
did its best to force thousands of fascists on the Jewish East End. However
working class solidarity and a demonstration of 200,000 forced them back.
Today the Police purport to be concerned about anti-Semitism when it
comes to protest against Genocide and War Crimes in Gaza. Of course they could
try implementing the International Criminal Court
Act 2001which makes being ancillary to or participating in war
crimes, even when abroad, an offence.
However British complicity in war crimes doesn’t disturb the Met but evidence-free
allegations that Jews are afraid to walk the streets because of Palestine
solidarity demonstrations, does concern them.In other words the Met has adopted the Zionist narrative that to support
the Palestinians is in itself anti-Semitic.
We had the absurd spectacle of the Jewish Bloc on a Palestine
Demonstration in London in December 2023 being separated off
from the rest of the demonstrators because the Police found it difficult to
accept that Jews could support the Palestinians.
Where does this racist nonsense come from?Perhaps Mark Rowley could answer and explain
the nature of the briefings that are given to his officers. This is a legacy of
colonial divide and rule. As part of this false narrative anti-Zionist Jews
suddenly become invisible.
Suddenly the only genuine Jews are racist Jews like Susan Caplan. Ms Caplan,
did respond to the invitation of the Met to complain about the demonstrations.
We know this because the Met, in complete disregard of the Data Protection
Laws, distributed her email to all and sundry! Caplan’s response is
interesting, not because it contains any gems of wisdom but because of the
insight it provides into the Zionist mind.
There was a time when Israel claimed to be ‘the only democracy in the Middle East’ however Genocide, Mass
Murder and Ethnic Cleansing in the West Bank combined with incidents like the raid and arrest of two bookshop owners in
East Jerusalem have put paid to that myth.
In her email Caplan complained ‘as
a Jewish person’ that ‘it is
unacceptable to allow this protest to continue with it’s (sic) inciteful behaviour.’ We are not told
who is being incited and against whom but we can guess.Inciting against Israel’s racist and genocidal
Ambassador Tzipi Hotoveli is clearly unacceptable to the said Caplan.
Not only this but the protests ‘have
become uncontrollable’ and ‘cause
more divide (sic) rather than peace
and unity.’ There is nothing in the way of evidence to back these
assertions but I suspect that evidence is the last thing the Met are looking for.
As for peace and unity one wonders whether Caplan really expects the
demonstrators to hand out white doves to the supporters of Genocide and unite
with them.
And then we come to Caplan’s real concern. ‘Calling for the end of Israel, the end of Zionism is unacceptable [Caplan
loves this word] hate speech and must not
be allowed.’
As I wrote in my letter to her, Zionism is a political ideology which is
based on hateful racism and calling for it to go is no different from calling
for Apartheid South Africa or the Nazi state to disappear.
Caplan’s final flourish was to allege that political demands for an end
to Zionism constitute ‘hate speech’ – and of course we are all against hate
speech, an all-embracing term which includes those who hate capitalism, racism
and oppression.
Ironically, the victims were Israeli tourists. And right after being shot, they took to social media chanting 'Death to Arabs.' You can't make this up.
This is the result of anti-Palestinian hate & indoctrination that sadly runs deep in Israel and pro-Israel communities in U.S. pic.twitter.com/y13D6aM96Y
Forbidding demonstrations against racism is what the Israeli state does
all the time. What Caplan and those who put her up to this really want is for
Britain to adopt the norms of the Israeli state which allows demonstrations calling for ‘Death to the Arabs’but which bans anything which opposes
Genocide or Israeli state racism.
I finished my letter by referring to an incident in Miami
Beach, Florida when a Jewish Zionist shot
up a vehicle containing two Israelis, who he mistook for Palestinians!
This is not the first time that Israelis have attacked other Israelis in the mistaken belief
that they were really Palestinians.
The New Yellow Star?
It is rather unfortunate that some Israelis, especially Arab Jews, look
like other non-Jewish Arabs. Perhaps Israel should make it compulsory for Palestinians
to have a distinguishing mark on their clothes in order that assailants don’t keep
mistaking Jews for Arabs. The Nazis used the Yellow Star. Perhaps Israel could use
the Watermelon?
The injuries to the two Israelis were minor and didn’t affect their racism.
The father took to Facebook to complain of their ‘anti-Semitic’ experience and
true to his Zionist sympathies finished with the slogan ‘Death to the Arabs.’You
really could not make it up.

Dear Ms Caplan,
Thank you for your email to
the Police complaining about the weekly demonstration at Swiss Cottage against
Israel’s Ambassador, Tzipi Hotoveli. Despite doing their best to engineer
complaints (or ‘victim statements’) the Police nonetheless had the good manners
to send your response to other interested parties.
I hope you won't take
offence if a Jewish anti-Zionist replies to you. Your email is a good example
of the Zionist mindset and is indicative of everything that is wrong with
Zionism, Zionists and supporters of Israeli Apartheid.
You say that 'calling
for the end to Israel, the end to Zionism is unacceptablehate speech and
must not be allowed to continue'. Thus speaks the authentic voice of the
Israeli Police State.
Zionism is a political
ideology, like fascism. It is perfectly appropriate to call for an end to it.
Its origins lie in Christian Zionism. Its aim was to form, in Theodor Herzl’s words, a state which would ‘form a portion of the rampart of Europe
against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism.’
Zionism when it first began
was welcomed by anti-Semites, as a means of being rid of the Jews in their
midst, and was seen by most Jews as a form of Jewish anti-Semitism. That was
why the Balfour Declaration was proposed by Arthur Balfour, a Christian Zionist
and anti-Semite who, when Prime Minister, introduced the 1905 Aliens Act
designed to keep Jewish refugees out of Britain. It is noteworthy that the only
person to oppose the Declaration in the Lloyd George War Cabinet was its only
Jewish member, Sir Edwin Montagu.
Calling for an end to the
Israeli state is no more a form of hate speech than calling for the end to the
Nazi State or the Apartheid State of South Africa. It is only fascists and
racists who cannot distinguish between a state and the people who live in that
state. I call for the end to the Israeli state because it is a state of Jewish
Supremacy and Apartheid.
Why is it unacceptable for
people to express views in public that you disagree with? This isn't
Israel where Palestinian speech is repressed and anti-racist protests are met
with police batons and bans. Have you not heard of the raid on the Educational
Bookshop
in Jerusalem this past week when the owners were arrested and books were
carried away in plastic bags? I seem to remember there was another European
state in the 1930s which also didn’t like books of the wrong kind.
But perhaps you have forgotten
where you are living? Freedom of Speech and the Right of Assembly are basic
democratic rights which haven't yet been extinguished in Britain. I realise that
you and your fellow Zionists are doing your best to achieve this, with the
complicity of the Metropolitan Police, Starmer and Yvette Cooper but we are
there to resist you.
The present genocide in
Gaza is something that should be protested against, in particular by Jewish
people. You should hang your head in shame that after the genocide of Jews by
Hitler that you support the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
You probably know nothing
about the genesis of the Holocaust so let me remind you that on October 4 1943
at Posen (Posnan) in Poland, Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS justified the extermination of Jews
to a group of senior SS Generals thus:
We Germans, who are the only people
in the world who have a decent attitude to animals, will also adopt a decent attitude to these
human animals...’
On 9 October 2023 Yoav
Gallant spoke in similar terms when he said:
“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no
electricity, no food, no fuel, everything
is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” [Times of Israel, 9.10.25]
I don't wish upset you with
too many uncomfortable facts Susan, but on 6 October 1943, also at Posen,
Himmler explained why Jewish children also had to be killed:
‘I did not assume to have the right to exterminate the
men… and have the avengers personified in the
children to become adults for our children and grandchildren.’ [Raul Hilberg,
The Destruction of the European
Jews, fn. 3, p.294]
Compare this to what Rabbi
Eliyahu Mali, head of the pre-military Kiryat Moshe Yeshivah, said on 7 March 2024:
“Today’s terrorists are the children of the
prior [military] operation that left them alive. The women are essentially the ones who are producing the terrorists,” he
said, adding that when someone
comes to kill you, you should be quick to kill them. “It’s not only the
14- or 16-year-old boy, the 20- or
30-year-old man who takes up a weapon against you but also the future generation. There’s really no
difference,”
So you can see how similar is
the ideology behind the Zionist genocide in Gaza and the Nazi genocide of Jews.
Is this inciteful as you
alleged? No it is educational. The only question really is whether you
wish to be educated or would you rather wallow in your ignorance? The Israeli state is Hitler's
bastard offspring which is why genuine anti-Semites like Trump love Israel.
Richard Spencer, the
neo-Nazi who organised the Charlottesville march where those taking part chanted “Jews
will not replace us’even described himself as a White
Zionist. Who could possibly disagree with him?
But let me finish this on a
lighter note. Yesterday in Miami Beach, Florida a Jewish Zionist mistook two
Israelis for Palestinians and opened fire on them. The ‘victims’, who survived
unscathed immediately posted on Facebook describing their attack as
anti-Semitic and finishing their post with ‘Death
to the Arabs.’
‘Death to the Arabs’ is the slogan that is chanted by the Israeli
right. In Germany and Polandbefore the
war Death to the Jews was the slogan
of the anti-Semites. Perhaps now you understand why there is a demonstration
against Tzipi Hotoveli, who is on record as saying there is no Palestinian
history and who called for the murder of 600,000 Palestinians in
Gaza.
