Fake Zionist 'charity' the Campaign Against 'Anti-Semitism' is Supported by Daily Mail

 The Paper That Supported Hitler and Opposed Jewish Refugees from Nazi Germany Entering Britain Opposes Our 'Anti-Semitic' Petition 

share this petition

The Daily Mail has a long and inglorious record - its proprietor Viscount Harmsworth supported Hitler before 1939 and the paper campaigned vigorously against the entrance of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany - like today they were 'bogus' refugees.  Literally the Daily Mail campaign had the blood of thousands of Jews on its hands

The Daily Mail and its proprietor, Lord Rothermere, were strong supporters of Hitler before 1939.  In Nazi Youth in Control [Daily News 4.9.33] Rothermere wrote that 

‘I WRITE from a new country on the map of Europe. Its name is Naziland. Of all the historic changes in our time, the transformation of Germany under Hitler has been the swiftest, most complete,’ which is certainly one way of putting it. 

The Mail also supported Oswald Moseley's British Union of Fascists - who were of course anti-Semitic

Rothermere waxed lyrical about the attractions and support of German people for Hitler.

'Something far more significant than a new Government has arisen among the Germans. There has been a sudden expansion of their national spirit like that which took place in England under Queen Elizabeth. Youth has taken command. On a visit, which I am paying to Northern Germany I find-, the signs of the new Hitler spirit as manifest in the most out of-the-way villages as in the largest cities.' 

He didn't hesitate to whitewash Nazi violence.
‘They have started a clamorous campaign of denunciation against what they call 'Nazi atrocities,' which, as anyone who visits Germany quickly discovers for him self, consists merely of a few isolated acts of violence.’ 

Rothermere also owned the Daily Mirror and it too was pro-fascist - something not widely known today

‘The administration of a few doses of castor oil to Communist adversaries.’  Perhaps in his visit he could have taken in the concentration camps of Dachau and Sachsenhausen.

Rothermere also justified the Nazis' anti-Semitism:

JEWISH OFFICIALS IN KEY POSITIONS'THE German nation, moreover, was rapidly falling under the control of its alien elements. In the last days of the pre-Hitler regime there were 20 times as many Jewish Government officials in Germany as had existed before the war. Israelites of international attachments were insinuating themselves into key positions in the German administrative machine. Three German Ministries only had direct relations with the Press, but in each case the official responsible for conveying news and interpreting policy to the public was a Jew. . It is from such abuses that Hitler has freed Germany.' 

To Rothermere Hitler’s actions were to prevent Jewish ‘abuses’. Rothermere was quite prepared to justify anti-Semitism as the price of smashing communism and the labour movement. In this he was not alone. In his two-volume book on fascism, Robert Black quotes Lloyd George thus:

‘If the powers that be succeeded in overthrowing Nazism in Germany, what would follow? Not a Conservative-Socialist regime (SPD) nor a Liberal regime, but extreme Communism... A Communist Germany would be intimately more formidable than a Communist Russia.’ [Robert Black, p. 417, Fascism in Germany, pp. 296/297, Steyne Publications, 1975.

Nor was this attitude to anti-Semitism confined to non-Jews. Chaim Weizmann, President of the (World) Zionist Organisation and first President of the State of Israel wrote of Major Evans-Gordon MP, founder of the anti-Semitic British Brothers League, which campaigned against the admission of Jewish refugees from Czarist Russia that:

‘"Looking back now, I think our people were rather hard on him." And why? Because:

The Aliens Bill in England and the movement which grew up around it were natural phenomenon which might have been foreseen.’ To the Zionists anti-Semitism was a ‘natural phenomenon’ which could not be fought and this of course explains the collaboration with anti-Semitism including the Nazis (especially in the 1933-1939 period).

This blog has been waging a campaign against the bogus 'charity' - the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism over the past year.  Formed at the height of Israel's murderous Operation Protective Edge, the CAA tries to defame supporters of the Palestinians as anti-Semites.  It has nothing to say about Israel's vicious racism, its ingrained discrimination against Palestinians, the 2 sets of laws - one for Jewish settlers the other for Palestinians in the Occupied Territories.  Its sole concern is 'anti-Semitism'.  

I have run a number of articles exposing the CAA as a Zionist political organisation masquerading as a charity: 
EXCLUSIVE - Lifting the Lid on the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism 
The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism Smears Veteran Israeli Anti-Zionist Professor Moshe Machover and 
More False Allegations of Anti-Semitism - their purpose is to shore up position of Progress MP Peter Kyle

Nasty smear article on CAA web site attacks Becky Massey, the Chair of a Labour ward in Hove, on the basis of two tweets which never mention Jews

3 weeks ago in response to their attacks on Becky Massey, a friend of mine in Hove Labour Party and Professor Moshe Machover, an Israeli anti-Zionist, I started a petition on Change.org calling on the Charity Commission to remove their charity status.  They immediately contacted change.org and tried to get them to take down the petition. 

The CAA have great difficulty in understanding the meaning of free speech.  Like their beloved Israeli state, their answer to their opponents criticism is to use administrative means to shut them down.  In Israel this is achieved by the bullet and the prison cell, in Britain it has to be a bit subtler.  However change.org refused to take the petition down because it was clear that here was a valid issue of concern to people. See:
Campaign Against Anti-Semitism tries to intimidate Change.org to remove Petition criticising them

The CAA were so eager to engage in politically lynching Jackie Walker that they accused her of holocaust denial

Ludicrously, in their racist attacks on the Black-Jewish anti-Zionist activist Jackie Walker, they accused her of justifying the Holocaust and excusing Hitler.  Why?  Because she quoted the first Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben Gurion, who said that the Arabs justifiably asked why they were being made to pay the price for the Nazis and Auschwitz when they bore no blame.  The idiots at the CAA took one look at the quote, saw Nazi and Auschwitz and Jackie Walker and immediately invented a grossly libellous charge against her.  It was subsequently deleted but not before I and others got a screen print.

The 'holocaust denial' quote wrongly attributed to Jackie Walker came from David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister and is quoted in the autobiography of Nahum Goldman, President of the World Zionist Organisation and Chair of the World Jewish Congress!

EXCLUSIVE: The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism Accuses Jackie Walker of Holocaust Denial - Why?  Because they didn't realise that she was quoting from David Ben-Gurion

Racist CAA cartoon of a Muslim man

The CAA are an overtly Islamaphobic political group.  They have skewed opinion polls to show that Muslims are anti-Semitic, they have inflated the level of anti-Semitism in society overall to suggest nearly half of British people are anti-semitic with the intention of increasing fears in the Jewish community.

At the same time they have posted grossly racist cartoons of Muslims.  When people protested they put the image above into silhouette, but its racism was clear in the headings.

The Mail think this is less racist than the above figure

The CAA have therefore resorted to that time and trusted weapon, the Daily 'Hate' Mail.  No doubt tomorrow there will appear the usual smear article suggesting how us wicked 'anti-Semites' are trying to stop these doughy fighters against 'anti-Semitism':

I received a message a short time ago from Rory Tingle from the Daily Mail on-line.  My responses are below.  Clearly the fCampaign Against Anti-Semitism, are running scared that their charity status is under threat.  Their political activities are so blatant that they have been forced to tell ever more desperate lies.  Gideon Falter, CAA's Chair, claims that 

'This petition is an attempt to stop Jews from calling out anti-Semitism by smearing them as Israeli agents trying to stifle dissent against their supposed power.

The CAA has over 70 articles attacking Jeremy Corbyn

One wonders whether Mr Falter's nose has grown a few feet after telling this egregious lie.  Nothing CAA does is directed at people who hate Jews as Jews.   Their sole concern is smearing people like Jeremy Corbyn, Baroness Tonge, Gerald Kaufman, Shami Chakrabarti, Jackie Walker and even Israeli Anti-Zionist Professor Moshe Machover.  The wonder is they have left me alone for so long but maybe attacking the son of an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi is a step too far!  Or maybe not.

Anti-racist Jews are an especial target for this group of political gangsters.  Like the Jewish Labour Movement, Labour Friends of Israel and a host of similar groups, we suspect that they are funded, in part at any rate, by the Israeli state through the $50m slush fund allocated to Gilad Erdan's Ministry of Strategic Affairs.

This is an added reason why you should do your utmost to share this petition as widely as possible.  Let’s keep the heat on these unscrupulous and dishonest people who dare to conflate hatred against Jewish people and anti-Semitism with opposition to Israel’s Apartheid regime, a regime which only 4 weeks ago demolished a Bedouin village, Umm al-Hiran in Israel's Negev desert, murdering a school teacher, in order to erect a Jewish only village of Hiran.

We can of course expect the Mail, which in the 1930’s campaigned against the entrance of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany to be extremely sympathetic to these Zionist defamers.

Hello Tony,

The article is about Jenny Tonge signing your petition.

It contains some criticisms from MPs and the CAA that you may wish to respond to.

This will not be published until tomorrow morning. I will add over a  statement if you would like to send one.

If you reply tomorrow morning, please also CC in news editor Karl Smith – karl.smith@mailonline.co.uk

I have put the relevant criticisms for you to respond to below.

I would also be interested to know when you were most recently barred from Labour. Was it in response to this petition?

Best wishes,

Rory

CRITICISMS YOU MAY WISH TO RESPOND TO –

MPs and a peer said the petition was an attempt to 'stifle' those fighting bigotry.

Gideon Falter called it 'absurd' and said it resembled 'far-right slurs' now taken up by those on the 'far left'.

You were barred from the Labour Party in 2015 after failing vetting but rejoined after Jeremy Corbyn became leader.

You have previously stated online that 'Zionists collaborated with the Nazis' and helped 'round up' Jews to send to Auschwitz

You have been suspended from the Labour Party 'pending an investigation'.

Gideon Falter, Chairman of Campaign Against Antisemitism said: 'This absurd petition aims to close down our charity on the basis that anti-Semitism is not a real problem and we are just trying to stifle debate about Israel.

'We back and successfully campaigned for the government to formally adopt the International Definition of Antisemitism which states that "criticism of Israel similar to that levelled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic".

'This petition is an attempt to stop Jews from calling out anti-Semitism by smearing them as Israeli agents trying to stifle dissent against their supposed power.

Response

The petition is aimed at a political group that is masquerading as a charity. 

You seem to be interested in my relationship to the Labour Party.  I have been suspended (not barred) from the LP - there has been no investigation since there is nothing to investigate.

It is a fact that in Hungary the Zionist Rescue & Relief Committee and the Judenrat (Jewish Council) rounded up Jews for deportation.  Indeed not just in Hungary.  If you weren't so ignorant you wouldn't be so shocked.  Who do you think rounded up the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto?  The late Israel Shahak, a note Israeli human rights campaigner and professor at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem was a child survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto and Belsen.   He said how even at the height of the roundups the Nazis were rarely seen. It was the Jewish police who did the rounding up.

If u knew anything about what actually happened in Warsaw you would know that the Jewish resistance first executed Jewish collaborators, who were almost always Zionists, as a precondition of the Jewish Resistance succeeding.

If you want to know about Hungary then read Ben Hecht's book Perfidy (its easy to google).  It was the subject of a 4 year trial in Israel which led to the overthrow of the Sharrett government.  Yes everywhere in Europe the Zionist movement collaborated and Isaiah Trunk, who wrote the definitive book on the Jewish Councils (Judenrate) estimated that 66% of their members were Zionists.

The petition is not aimed at preventing Jews calling out anti-Semitism.  I am after all Jewish.  I organised the fight against the real anti-Semites of the National Front and BNP in Brighton for many years.  What the petition is aimed at doing is stopping Mr Falter and co. from accusing supporters of the Palestinians and anti-Zionists of anti-Semitism.  It's like the boy who cried wolf syndrome.  If you accuse everyone u disagree with of anti-Semitism, when the real thing occurs people will ignore you.

I realise that the Daily Mail, which in the 1930s supported Hitler, along with the Express and The Times under Geoffrey Dawson, is now pro-Israel.  The 2 go together.  Anti-semites want Jews out of their countries and Zionists say yes, Jews do not belong anywhere bar Israel. 

Mr Falter tried to get change.org to take the petition down but failed.   His charity only targets left-wing   politicians surprisingly and those who oppose Zionism and support the Palestinians.  It is a fake charity and offers no public benefit.  It also deliberately misinterprets or skews opinion polls to suggest that up to half the British public are anti-Semitic.

I don't expect that the Mail will produce a fair report because today it is pro-Zionist.  In the 1930's it campaigned against the entrance of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.  It hasn't actually changed one iota

I should maybe make the obvious point that if a left wing political group tried to pretend it was a charity in order to gain tax advantages the Mail would be the first paper to call them out. 

The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism has 73 articles, at the last count on Jeremy Corbyn.  It has made a complaint that he is an anti-Semite and has called Chakrabarti's Inquiry a whitewash and 'laughable'.

It also accused Jackie Walker of excusing Hitler's role in the holocaust and suggested she was justifying the holocaust.  Why?  because she quoted from David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister on why the Arabs don't see why they should pay the price for the holocaust and Auschwitz.  They later took down this post when they realised this was a smear too far.

Hitler and the Daily Mail are still marching in unison

Well we all know that the bigotry of the Daily ‘hate’ Mail is pretty repulsive, and most of us know that the Daily ‘hate’ Mail supported Hitler in the 1930’s.  But what you probably didn’t realise is how they still share common sentiments with the dead fuhrer.

As an experiment a blogger changed comments of Hitler and Nazi propagandists changing ‘Jew’ to ‘migrant’.  Sure enough a lot of them got through the ‘moderation’.

Suffice to say the said blogger has been banned for life for not adhering to ‘community guidelines’ (a phrase originating with the Guardian’s blogosphere).  It beggars belief what the community standards of the Hate Mail are !!

Daily Mail article 20th August 1938

 What happens when you comment on Daily Mail articles with actual Nazi propaganda

TL;DR: They get up-voted... a lot 

---

We've highlighted how in the last few weeks, media coverage of migration into Europe has become increasingly alarmist, not helped by our prime minister using language more associated with the far-right.

The anti-migrant sentiment expressed in some papers became too much for the people behind the @bestofthemail and @dmreporter Twitter accounts, who prefer to remain anonymous.
In a post on Medium, they detailed an experiment conducted on the comments section of the Daily Mail website to show the dangers of this dehumanising language becoming normalised.
They wrote:

[We] wanted to see what level of support the comments would get if we took some famous pieces of Nazi propaganda and changed the word 'Jew' with 'migrant'.

Here's what happened:

Yes, that quote has received 193 up-votes.

They got more blatant, yet the up-votes kept on coming:

And then Adolf Hitler himself was quoted:

The last time they counted, they received 480 up-votes compared to 16 down-votes for right Nazi comments.

In an email to i100.co.uk, @BestoftheMail said:

"In recent weeks we were both fairly shocked by the tone of much of the migrant debate, especially the dehumanising and hateful nature of the language used to describe them. We wanted to illustrate how easy it is for hate speech to become normalised and show the importance of focusing on the people and the facts rather than resorting to prejudice."

@DMReporter told us:

"What really interested us was the amount of support these comments were getting. Every website gets comments like this submitted but what struck us most was the enthusiastic manner in which they were accepted. They were just knee-jerk approvals instead of any considered thought about what sort of comment they were actually agreeing with."

The Mail is hardly unique in this respect. One of worst examples in recent memory was from Sun columnist Katie Hopkins, whose description of migrants as "cockroaches" led to accusations she was adopting the tone and language of the Third Reich. On a liberal medium such as Twitter, the comments are enough to make you despair, and even on the Independent website.

Mail Online later stopped @DMReporter from making further comments on its site for "going against the community guidelines".

The Paper that Supported Hitler Accuses Jeremy Corbyn of Supporting Holocaust Deniers

The Daily ‘Hate’ Mail – Running Scared of a Socialist Leader of the Labour Party

The Daily ‘Hate’ Mail has printed a scurrilous story that Jeremy Corbyn is a supporter of a tiny group, Deir Yassin Remembered, which consists of holocaust deniers such as Paul Eisen.  It suggests that Corbyn has maintained contact with Eisen when everyone else in Palestine Solidarity has broken ties with him.  What they conveniently omit is that Eisen is a constituent of Jeremy Corbyn and it is in that capacity he has had occasional contact.

The owner of the Daily 'Hate' Mail with a Friend - 

There isn’t a shred of proof that Corbyn supports or ever has supported DYR apart from Eisen’s own claims.  On the contrary, Jeremy Corbyn supported the moves to expel DYR supporter, Francis Clarke-Lowes from PSC at the 2012 AGM for holocaust denial.  The only ‘evidence’ that the Mail produces is a photograph allegedly taken of Corbyn at a DYR event.  DYR used to hold annual fundraising concerts in support of the Palestinians, the money raised going to Medical Aid for Palestine.  According to the DYR website, not only Jeremy but Gerald Kaufmann MP attended the concert.  Perhaps Gerald Kaufmann, a Jewish MP is also a holocaust denier?  A concert does not equal political support.

However the Mail is the last paper to accuse others of supporting fascism, given its own record.  As my article ‘When the Daily 'Hate' Mail Supported Hitler’  demonstrates, in the 1930’s the Daily 'Hate' Mail supported Hitler and the Nazi Party, the British Union of Fascists and campaigned against the entry of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany into Britain.   As an article of 20 August 1938 proclaimed 

The Daily Mail has been consistent in hating refugees

"The way stateless Jews from Germany are pouring in from every port of this country is becoming an outrage:  the number of aliens entering the country through back door - a problem to which the Daily Mail has repeatedly pointed"

Not only did Lord Rothermere, the Mail’s owner support Hitler but he specifically supported his anti-Jewish policy.  The Rothermere family, in the form of Jonathan Harmsworth, the 4th Viscount Rothermere, still do own the Mail.

The Mail hasn’t changed one bit.  Just as they opposed the entry of Jewish refugees in the 1930’s so they oppose the entry of asylum seekers today.

If you read the Mail’s scurrilous allegations you note that they depend almost entirely on what Paul Eisen, a poisonous little anti-Semite and holocaust denier, who has no credibility in the Palestine solidarity movement and is not a member of Palestine Solidarity Campaign, of which Jeremy is a patron.  It’s probably the only time that Eisen's little bunch of racists will get any publicity.  

Viscount Rothermere wrote in the Daily News on 4^th September 1933 under the title Nazi Youth in Control 

‘I WRITE from a new country on the map of Europe. Its name is Naziland. Of all the historic changes in our time, the transformation of Germany under Hitler has been the swiftest, most complete,’

Like most ruling class apologists for Hitler (most were members of the Anglo-German Fellowship) Rothermere considered the reports about Nazi brutality were figments of the imagination:

‘They have started a clamorous campaign of denunciation against what they call 'Nazi atrocities,' which, as anyone who visits Germany quickly discovers for him self, consists merely of a few isolated acts of violence.’ 

Rothermere made light of fascist violence against the workers of Italy under Mussolini, thousands of whom were butchered, comparing it to a nursery governess:

‘The administration of a few doses of castor oil to Communist adversaries.’  Perhaps in his visit he could have taken in the concentration camps of Dachau and Sachsenhausen.  In his article Rothermere wrote:

JEWISH OFFICIALS IN KEY POSITIONS

'THE German nation, moreover, was rapidly falling under the control of its alien elements. In the last days of the pre-Hitler regime there were 20 times as many Jewish Government officials in Germany as had existed before the war. Israelites of international attachments were insinuating themselves into key positions in the German administrative machine. Three German Ministries only had direct relations with the Press, but in each case the official responsible for conveying news and interpreting policy to the public was a Jew. . It is from such abuses that Hitler has freed Germany.' 

It was only a few weeks ago that the Mail reacted with ‘fury’ when the Sun printed the first decent front page ever – of the Queen Mother and family practising a Hitler salute.  Now we have the ‘anti-fascist’ ‘hate Mail’

The Daily 'Hate' Mail reacting with 'fury' at the Sun's front page on the Royal Hitler salutes

I submitted the Comment below to the Mail article.  We'll see if they print it!

The allegations made against Jeremy Corbyn are untrue.  They depend entirely on what Paul Eisen, a holocaust denier alleges.  It doesn’t provide a smidgin of proof.  Jeremy Corbyn supported expelling a holocaust denier from Palestine Solidarity Campaign in 2012 (not 2007) and dissociating the organisation from Deir Yassin Remembered in 2007 and 2012.  I know since I proposed the resolutions as a founder member of PSC.

The Daily Mail Supports Sir Oswald Moseley's British Union of Fascists in the 1930's

DYR used to hold annual concerts which were fundraisers in support of the people of Gaza, the money going to Medical Aid for Palestine.  It is possible Corbyn attended one of these, I don't know, but that is not the same as supporting DYR as an organisation.

Paul Eisen is a poisonous wretch who is seeking publicity for his own pathetic organisation.  Jeremy Corbyn is a patron of PSC not DYR.

I suggest that the Daily Mail looks at the mote in its own eye rather than the beam in others, especially given its support for appeasement and fascism in the 1930's.
