Despite the Support of North West Zionists – Tommy Robinson is Heavily Defeated in the Euro Elections

Britain’s leading neo-Nazi expresses his admiration for Israel as Britain’s Zionist establishment keeps quiet

Can anyone put a name to these Orthodox Jewish scumbag supporters of Tommy Robinson?

In an excellent result in the NW England Constituency, Tommy Robinson gained little more than 2% of the vote, forfeiting his deposit. The working class of Manchester and Liverpool and the Lancashire mill towns rejected this foul fascist and Zionist and his racist politics.

However this did not prevent many Zionists from giving Robinson their support and votes on the basis of his support for Israel’s ethno-nationalist state.  It is no surprise that someone who is a by-word for racism should find Zionism so attractive and equally it is no surprise that so many Zionists find Tommy Robinson attractive.

One of his main supporters is Avi Yemini, a neo-Nazi supporting Australian Zionist who has a blog on The Times of Israel. [See e.g. Why I’m proud to be a ‘F**king Jew]’ Yemini has been running  Robinson election campaign.

The Israeli settler news agency Arutz Sheva led with its story ‘UK Orthodox Jews mobilize for Tommy Robinson’ which reported that ‘A group of British Orthodox Jews’ had launched a ‘mass outreach campaign’ in support of Tommy Robinson. Thousands of flyers were distributed throughout Manchester calling on "our fellow Orthodox Jews" to vote for Robinson and calling Robinson "a staunch friend of our people".

These Orthodox Zionists asked their supporters to "Please open your hearts and consider giving your vote to Tommy Robinson’  Arutz Sheva revealed that many UK voters were afraid of losing their jobs if it were made public that they support Robinson. The Zionist flyer explained to fellow Jews that

"We all know that in the last few years England has become unrecognisable from the decent country we grew up in… Who among us has not reacted in horror as each month brings new levels of moral decline and self-destruction in the name of 'diversity' and 'human rights'?

This is what Zionism has become.  An echo chamber for all that the fascists used to say about Jewish immigrants. Manchester was one of the main centres of Jewish immigration. The flyer continued

‘how long will we wring our hands helplessly, our activists trying to do their best, while the country carries on this awful march to the worst places, led by foolish, corrupt, 'educated' leaders?"

The Board of Deputies President Marie van der Zyl issued a statement condemning the Zionist campaign supporting Robinson saying that ‘"anti-Muslim propaganda will never gain support of the mainstream Jewish community" Unfortunately that is not true.  

Anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiments are the staple of Zionist propaganda.  Every time criticism is made of Israel’s human rights abuses, the standard retort of the Board of Deputies is to shout ‘Hamas’ with the suggestion that all Palestinians are somehow Muslim fundamentalists. 

It was the Board of Deputies who last summer justified and supported the mowing down of unarmed demonstrators in Gaza last summer using Hamas as the pretext.  All those mowed down, all the thousands shot by Israel were held to be Islamists.  Marie van der Zyl is a racist hypocrite.

Nearly two years ago, Arutz Sheva, which functions as the Israeli mouthpiece for the openly fascist wing of British Zionism spoke of ‘Fear and loathing grip England Jewish establishment over meeting attended by twelve private citizens.’  

At the same time, Robert Festenstein, a far-Right solicitor who is the founder and sole member of the misnamed Jewish Human Rights Watch, whose purpose is to ensure that Palestinians don’t gain access to human rights, was forced to issue a statement that Tommy Robinson is not his client after having appeared in a propaganda video for Robinson. 

Festenstein is also a member of the Board of Deputies.  See:  Independent letter to Jews in the North West of England: Vote for Tommy Robinson

Brian of London and his friend, David Collier

Tommy Robinson has a strong support base amongst Britain’s Zionists.  E.g. Brian of London, with whom people like David Collier, the so-called independent investigator and Jonathan Hoffman, former Vice-President of the Zionist Federation and a member of the current Zionist Council, keep company.

See Tommy Robinson visited Israel: A response to the Jewish Chronicle’s attack

According to the Guardian Robinson’s former employer Rebel Media said this week that it had paid for Avi Yemini to fly from Melbourne to cover his campaign. See Australian Israeli Jew Avi Yemini campaigns with Tommy Robinson to be MEP for North West England.  Yemini was recently denied entry to the US. He has described Islam as a “barbaric ideology” that has taken over England and called Muslim countries “Islamic shitholes”. Yemini is little known in the UK but has been ever-present at Robinson’s rallies, often as a warm-up act on stage.

Lisa Barbounis

Another person heavily involved in Robinson’s campaign is Lisa Barbounis a senior executive of the conservative US think tank the Middle East Forum. She has been present at many of his rallies. Barbounis has worked on several Republican campaigns including John McCain’s run for president in 2008. She has been on Robinson’s campaign for about a fortnight. The Philadelphia-based group, which is well funded by a number of US rightwing donors, says its goal is to defend “anti-Islamist authors” and last year spent tens of thousands of pounds on Robinson’s demonstrations and legal fees when he was jailed for contempt of court.

Yemini is friendly with a variety of neo-Nazis. See Australia’s Jews Against Fascism expose ‘7+ Times Avi Yemini consorted with Neo-Nazis’ on the willingness of Yemini to work with prominent neo-Nazis.  As JAF say ‘Avi Yemini is a useful idiot in the endless soap opera that is Australia’s far-right melodrama.’

Erikson (third from left)

They give 7 examples of the neo-Nazis that this Zionist workers with:

1.           Neil Erikson

Cottrell middle

2.           Blair Cottrell / United Patriots Front. Cottrell’s  belief that “There should be a picture of this man [Adolf Hitler] in every classroom and every school, and his book should be issued to every student annually” doesn’t prevent Yemini working with him.

3.           Milo Yiannopolous and Avi Yemini – Milo Yiannopolous was the assistant Editor at Brietbart News, the far-Right and anti-Semitic magazine of the alt-Right and Steve Bannon in the United States until Yiannopolous’s advocacy of paedophilia became too much even for his far-Right backers. He is an open supporter of Jewish conspiracy theories.

4.           Then there are the Soldiers of Odin and Avi Yemini. Soldiers of Odin was founded in Finland by neo-Nazi Mika Ranta (criminal convictions for racist assaults), and is an offspring of the Nordic Resistance Movement. Avi Yemini met with Soldiers of Odin to garner their support. He made them a promo video for their efforts:

5.           Tom Sewell / The Lad’s Society / Antipodean Resistance and Avi Yemini The Lad’s society is a neo-Nazi spin off from the United Patriots Front). It is brainchild of Thomas Sewell, a faithful servant of Blair Cottrell.

6.           Chris Shortis / Australia First & Avi Yemini Chris Shortis says he is definitely not a Nazi, just a national socialist!! Perhaps someone will tell him that Nazi is simply short for ‘national socialist’!! Shortis (now ex-UPF) is member of Jim Saleam’s little Nazi mob, the Australia First Party. He is an online antisemitic ranter, Jewish conspiracy theorist, all round Christian extremist, with the usual multiple interests of day-to-day neo-Nazis at the minute. When Shortis got charged (and convicted) for racial vilification along with Blair Cottrell and Neil Erikson, Avi Yemini showed up to the court to shake Chris Shortis’ hand:

Moger making white power signs

7.           Stuart von Moger / Lad’s Society / Antipodean Resistance & Avi Yemini. Stuart von Moger has been lurking around the neo-Nazi Lad’s Society, now indistinguishable from its youth wing Antipodean Resistance, since it’s inception. Von Moger is second from left in the earlier photo in this article of the Lads celebrating Hitler’s birthday. Below (top) he is photographed making ‘White Power’ hand signals with fascist Lauren Southern, alongside mates from Lad’s Society and Antipodean Resistance. Stuart and Lad’s Society Nazis provided security for the event. Below (bottom) he is photographed with Blair Cottrell and Tom Sewell at the Milo Yiannopolous event, which, as noted, Avi Yemini attended/promoted.

In 2018 when neo-Nazi as well as the full spectrum of far right groups took over the German town of Chemnitz, chanting Nazi era slogans such as “luegenpresse” and other Nazi slogans, doing Hitler salutes, spreading moral panics and inspiring vigilantism. They were clearly using these protests to build a neo-Nazi movement. Yemini lept to their defence:

punch a Nazi 

However despite all this finance and support from an international Zionist/neo-Nazi network Robinson flopped badly tonight!

Paul Besser – Jonathan Hoffman’s Neo-Nazi Friend Goes into the Security Business

Intelligence is the one thing that Britain First's Intelligence Chief Doesn’t Possess!

It might better be called standing with neo-Nazis

Hoffman and Besser with Gemma Sheridan in between

Readers of this blog may recall my recent story about the Zionist picket of Palestine Expo 2017, on July 8^th and 9^th.  This picket, which was organised by Jonathan Hoffman, a former Vice-Chair of the Zionist Federation of England & Wales, was in protest against the ‘anti-Semitism’ of Europe’s largest Palestinian festival.

The Zionists did their best to get Expo 2017 banned

The Zionists pulled out all the stops to get the government to cancel the booking with the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in Whitehall alleging that it was a Jewish hate festival.  You got the impression that anyone Jewish would be in danger of their life if they set foot in the QEII Centre. Of course the many Jewish attendees and speakers thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Apart that is from David Collier and Hoffman, both of whom were requested to leave.

Besser takes a leap into the unknown

So concerned were Hoffie, the misnamed Campaign Against Anti-Semitism and the even more absurdly named Jewish Human Rights Watch, with ‘anti-Semitism’ at Palestine Expo 2017 that they decided to hold a joint demonstration with anti-Semites!  Presumably on the basis that if you can’t beat them join them.

Amongst members of the far-Right in attendance was none other than Paul Besser, Britain First’s Intelligence Chief.  Besser is no ordinary fascist, he considers himself an astute businessman and he is in the security business no less.

One's sympathies go out to anyone who actually employs Besser's outfit

It would seem that Besser is as clueless about running a business as he is about  politics.  He claims he is Jewish but that doesn’t stop him joining a neo-Nazi group that had Thomas Mair, who murdered Jo Cox MP, among its ranks.

We have been sent a number of clips of Besser’s attempts to break into the ranks of the security business and challenge the likes of G4S.

Far-right 'charity' CAA does its best to have Palestine Expo banne

As the graphic below shows, having decided to go into the security business he was stuck – where could he get a model contract from?

Outside te Ahava picket a few years ago - in the good company of the EDL and their 'Jewish' section

He then decided to branch out and start running Citizenship and Life in the UK courses.  Judging by this advert he might brush up his spelling first.  He wonders what qualifications might be necessary!  How about an English GCSE for starters?

Eventually a fellow fascist messages him back saying he has some templates that might come in handy.

Fawlty Towers has nothing on Besser

Unfortunately he seems to have had no end of trouble with other security firms!

However no one can blame him for not trying.  His request for a ‘lesson palan’ (sic) should bring a tear even to the hardest of hearts!

For those who are interested in contracting with Paul’s business I have helpfully posted his details for you to peruse.  I am also posting  a pic. of his the registered office of London Security Patrol- 7 Boundary Road WALTHAMSTOW E17 8NL 0798 352 1403 0208 281 0157 in order to help you make a decision.

The heart of Besser's security empire

I note that Besser says he has more than 15 years of experience in the security industry.  A claim that might fall foul of the Trades Description Act. 

He also says that he has previously worked for the Metropolitan Police.  However he doesn’t say in what capacity!  Whether being a prisoner counts as having worked for the Met is a moot point which I confess to not being qualified to answer!

Business problems mount for Besser

Palestine Expo 2017 - The Largest Palestine Event in Europe - Packed and Successful

Despite the Best efforts of the Zionists to Ban It, Palestine Expo Has Been an Incredible Success

Well the Zionists, led by the far-Right Jewish Human Rights Watch (which watches over attempts to implement human rights) and the virulently Islamaphobic Campaign Against Anti-Semitism did their best to stop the biggest ever Palestine event in Britain and probably Europe.  They tried every racist trick in the book but even Sajid David couldn't find enough of a pretext to destroy free speech on Palestine.

A rapt audience - all the sessions were packed out with standing room only - this demonstrates the level of support for the Palestinians in Britain - hence the feverish Zio attempts to have the conference banned - they probably forgot this isn't Israel!

I had to return to Brighton at 3 pm.m but the sessions were not only impressive but too often really good sessions coincided with each other.

David Collier and wife enjoying Palestinian food b4 being escorted out

I went to 3 sessions - the first one was entitled Balfour to Apartheid.  The opening speaker was Ben Jamal, Director of Palestine Solidarity Campaign.  He was followed by Professor Tilley, of Southern Illinois University who authored a Report by the UN's Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia which  described Israel as an Apartheid state.  Of course this proved politically embarrassing for the UN and the head of ESCWA, Rima Khalaf, was forced to resign after the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres denounced the report and asked for it to be removed from the Commission's website.  Her talk on why Israel is an Apartheid state and why a Jewish state cannot be other than a racist state, given the systematic privileging of Jews in that state, was impressive.

Professor Tilley of Southern Illinois University spoke by Skype

I also went to hear two other equally impressive speakers Professor Ilan Pappe of Exeter University and John Pilger, who was impressive as always.  

Professor Ilan Pappe

All the talks, I understand, will be put on Youtube.

During lunch I and others spotted one David Collier, a Zionist snoop who makes a profession out of defaming activists and groups as 'anti-Semitic'.  He came up when he spotted me all friendly.  I asked him how he was enjoying the 'Jewish hate fest' that he and his compatriots had called Palestine Expo 2017.  He denied this and resumed his lunch, however we called for the security to evict him when he did.  His wife was most put out at this attack on freedom of speech, which is rich coming from those whose whole life is spent trying to suppress Palestinian freedom of speech.  Given the anti-Zionists are never allowed in Zionist functions and when they are spotted are usually assaulted Mr Collier should be grateful  that we didn't behave like his friends.

Zionist protest outside conference

Another Zionist, Jonathan Hoffman - friend of fascists and EDL  - was escorted out of the building too.  Outside there was a pathetically  small demonstration by a group of racists.

On another note entirely, I'm off on my holidays so this blog is likely to remain quiet for some time.

The Racist 'Campaign Against Anti-Semitism' Fails in its Attempt to cancel Palestine Expo 17

Charity Commission Under Islamaphobe William Shawcross Turn a Blind Eye to the CAA’s Blatant Racism

Sign the Petition Calling for the Deregistration of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism

The Campaign against 'Anti-Semitism' do their best to have Europe's largest Palestinian event cancelled

This is why the CAA is allowed to do what it wants - because the Charity Commission is chaired by a racist and Islamaphobe

Despite having toyed with the idea of cancelling Palestine Expo 2017 even Sajid Javid, the Tories pro-Zionist Communities Secretary couldn’t find a reason to ban Palestine Expo.  Javid is . reported as saying at a Conservative Friends of Israel lunch in 2012,  that "if he had to leave Britain to live in the Middle East, then he would choose Israel as home. Only there, he said, would his children feel the 'warm embrace of freedom and liberty'.

I hate to disappoint Javid but if he was seeking refuge then Israel would be the last place that he would be welcomed.  Not to put too fine a point on it, not only is he not Jewish but he is Black.  He may be one of those disgusting Uncle Toms who think that money will make him an honorary White, and maybe in the British Tory Party these days it will, but in Israel he would be treated like all Black refugees.  He would be deported or refused admission or held in a concentration camp in Holot in Israel’s Negev desert.  See Israel's unwanted African migrants & Eritrean refugees in Israel sent to Uganda and Rwanda

This racist caricature of Muslims was posted on the CAA site and printed in a publication of theirs - this is their contribution to 'community relations' - it's a pity that the CAA weren't around a century ago, they could have produced some remarkable Jewish cartoons

The forthcoming Palestine Expo 2017 on July 8^th and 9^th at the South Bank Centre promises to be the biggest social, cultural and entertainment event on Palestine to ever take place in Europe.  It will include a session run by Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods and Free Speech on Israel on false allegations of anti-Semitism.  It has a number of Israeli and Jewish speakers such as Miko Peled and Prof. Ilan Pappe as well as people like John Pilger.

William Shawcross - the Islamaphobe who chairs the Charity Commission

None of this, of course, stopped the so-called Jewish Human Rights Watch aka far-right solicitor Robert Festenstein claiming it was an ‘anti-Jewish hate fest’.  It is not difficult to understand why the racist Campaign Against Anti-Semitism should have leant its voice to trying to stop a Palestinian event taking place. 

The Charity Commission appear to be wriggling out of their previous commitment at the instigation of their racist Chairman Shawcross

The CAA have though outdone themselves with the statement that

It is extremely troubling that this event is being held at an iconic, government-sponsored venue, right opposite the seat of British democracy. We are writing to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government expressing our concerns.

This is a classic example of how ‘terrorism’ is used as part of a campaign to limit and restrict freedom of speech.  The organisers Al Aqsa and associated individuals have allegedly supported ‘terrorist’ organisations in the past such as Hezbollah and Hamas.  There is a very simple answer to this.  Neither organisation is a terrorist group.  Both have, with varying degrees of success, fought the Israeli government.  That doesn’t make one a terrorist whatever Tory ministers and their lackeys say.

What the CAA are saying is that Palestinian=terrorist and therefore, in view of recent terrorist attacks, anything connected with the Palestinians should not be held ‘opposite the seat of British democracy’ i.e. Westminster.  It is difficult to think of a more racist statement than this.  Just imagine that someone had said that a Jewish event should not be held at Westminster for similar reasons.

The CAA's attack on me and Baroness Jenny Tonge

The real disgrace though is the lack of action of the Charity Commission, under their racist Chairman William Shawcross.  As the Huffington Post noted

Muslim charities have been disproportionately affected by investigations from the Commission since the appointment of Shawcross, with 38% of all disclosed investigations initiated between 1st January 2013 and 23rd April 2014 being on Muslim charities.’ 

Shawcross was a trustee and Director of the cold-war Islamaphobic Henry Jackson Society.  In 2012 Shawcross said “Europe and Islam is one of the greatest, most terrifying problems of our future”.

Shawcross is a paid up member of the British establishment. According to his Wikipedia entry From St Aubyn’s prep school in Rottingdean Brighton (since closed down) he went to Eton and Oxford  before joining the BBC World Service Advisory Council. In 2008 he became a Patron of the Wiener Library and in 2011 he joined the board of the Anglo-Israel Association and was appointed to the board of the Henry Jackson Society.

It is this which would appear to explain the Charity Commission’s reluctance to tackle even the most egregious example of racism by a Zionist group.  Of course if the CAA were an Islamic group and singled out Jews for the same attention then they would be deregistered tomorrow.

I have therefore written a further letter to the Charity Commission (see below).  It would seem that whatever the CAA does is going to be given the green light by the Charity Commission.  I will also be considering what further legal steps can be taken given what appears to be a refusal by the Charity Commission to take any action.

Dear Ms Grenfell

Subject: Re: 20170322 - To Tony Greenstein – update - CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM 1163790 CRM:0162547

To:    PCT - Taunton (Queue) <OperationsTaunton@charitycommission.gsi.gov.uk>

          RC Landing & Correspondence (Queue)

On 6^th, 20^th February 2017, 1^st March and subsequently I wrote to the Charity Commission concerning the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism.  The CAA was not operating to provide any public benefit but was acting as an overtly political and Zionist organisation whose speciality was the launching of partisan political attacks on those who are critical in any way of the State of Israel and Zionism.

It has, at the time of writing, made some 94 separate attacks on Jeremy Corbyn.  For an organisation supposedly devoted to anti-Semitism it displays a strange obsession with attacking and demonising anything to do with the Palestinians.  One example of the malevolent nature of its attacks was the article they posted on the death of Gerald Kaufman MP,  Sir Gerald Kaufman MP’s words have left a rotting stain on our institutions.    That you could allow, without passing comment, a charity to post such a disgusting and foul-mouthed article on the death of the Father of the House of Commons speaks volumes to your own lack of judgement.

No sooner than I had made a complaint against the CAA then on 26^th February the CAA devoted one of its posts to making a highly personal and defamatory attack on me, calling me a ‘notorious anti-Semite’ without any evidence whatsoever.  Tony Greenstein’s attempt to shut down Campaign Against Antisemitism showcases the similarities between far-left and far-right.  As someone who is Jewish this is particular offensive and anti-Semitic.

The CAA has recently taken the lead in attacking Palestine Expo, the biggest social, cultural and entertainment event on Palestine to ever take place in Europe and which is scheduled to take place on July 8^th and July 9^th at the South Bank Centre.  In an article CAA RAISES CONCERNS ABOUT PALESTINE EXPO HOSTED AT GOVERNMENT-OWNED CONVENTION CENTRE OPPOSITE PARLIAMENT it challenged the very right of Palestinians to organise politically, culturally or socially under the guise of ‘anti-Semitism’. It concludes its article by saying that ‘It is extremely troubling that this event is being held at an iconic, government-sponsored venue, right opposite the seat of British democracy. We are writing to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government expressing our concerns.’

This is an outrageously racist statement, even for the CAA.  It is suggesting that it is ‘troubling’ to hold a major Palestinian event near the Palace of Westminster, with the obvious implication that anything Palestinian is related to terrorism and that, in the light of recent events, it is poses some form of danger.  If such a suggestion were made about a Jewish event there would rightly be an uproar.

Yet the Charity Commission sits twiddling its thumbs, doing nothing, saying nothing and allowing the CAA to continue regardless.

Perhaps I should remind you that on 22^nd March, Alex Young from your Liverpool Office wrote to me stating, in respect of both of my complaints, not least that related to the failure to identify its trustees that ‘I am advised there is the prospect of  decisions on these matters within a week from today, after which we will communicate to you our view on the issues you have raised.’ 

On 8^th May, some 6 weeks later, I wrote to you asking why I had heard nothing despite your promises.  You wrote back the same day to inform me that you had taken over the examination of my complaint but that

‘It is not possible at this stage to give any timeframe for the conduct of this case. However, once I have completed my analysis I will let you know.

I appreciate that this will be frustrating for you, but I can confirm that I am looking in detail at the information you have provided.’

On 8^th May I raised further concerns regarding the involvement of the CAA in attacking certain parliamentary candidates in the middle of the General Election.  Instead of issuing advice to the CAA or indeed charities as a whole you said that it wasn’t a matter for you, which raises the question of whether or not you are fulfilling your statutory duty to regulate the charity sector.

You also seemed to be rowing back on the previous pledges you made when you stated that:

‘As we have informed you previously, we are considering all of the points you have made. It is not our policy, and we do not have the resources, to keep those who provide information to us, informed of progress on individual cases.’

This is a direct contradiction of your previous pledges, not only to complete the investigation within a week but to keep me informed.  I do not believe, for one minute, that you don’t have the resources to inform me as to the progress of my complaint.  There is no reason whatsoever for you not having completed your investigation and there is even less reason for you not having informed me of the outcome of any investigation.

The only inference that can be drawn is that you are prepared to turn a blind eye to the activities of the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism despite its clear breaches of charity law.  I repeat what I have previously tried to make clear to you.  The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism is entitled to act as a political campaigning body it is not entitled to do this with all the financial advantages accruing from being a charity.

The petition we launched calling for the deregistration of the CAA has now reached nearly 3,000 people.  I look forward to you breaking your normal custom and practice and providing a full response into the complaints that I and others have made.

I also wish to make it clear that I am submitting a third complaint in respect of the CAA’s racist campaign against Palestine Expo 2017.

Please also advise me of the various avenues of appeal if you continue to refuse to respond to my complaints against the CAA.

Yours sincerely,

Tony Greenstein
