Al Quds Demonstration Sees the Zionist Federation and the Board of Deputies Join Hands with the Far Right

Neo-Nazis, Tommy Robinson Supporters and the EDL Join Hands with the Zionist Opposition to a Peaceful Palestinian March

UPDATES

At the Al Quds demonstration Jonathan Hoffman and Damon Lenszner refused to join the  police-approved Zionist counter-demo  in Downing St.and attempted to block the peaceful Al Quds Day march on the Embankment. They were accompanied by Michael English, a convicted small-time Manchester petty criminal well-known to the police. 

English was recently interviewed by the Manchester Counter-terrorism Police as they were concerned he might use physical violence against Palestinians. Also present was  Paul Besser, the  former “head of intelligence” for the fascist Britain First where he cavorted  with BF bosses Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen. This group of thugs also attempted to cause trouble at the same event last year.

But this year was different  -the police (all of whom would have been briefed thoroughly  beforehand on the identities of these misfits) had  a shocked Hoffman squealing like a pig as they  unceremoniously  and forcefully bundled him and Lenszner out of the way.  It is clear that at the briefing the Met Police had been told that they did not have to wear kid gloves  if they came across Hoffman,Lenszner, English or Besser).

Hoffman, a former vice-chair of the Zionist Federation and twice-bankrupt Lenszner are both due to appear at Hendon Magistrates Court for a 2-day trial on 19/20 June in connection with other Public Order Offences.

Meanwhile the not very bright Mandy Blumenthall of Herut UK, who has emigrated to Israel because of ‘anti-Semitism’ along with her abusive solicitor boyfriend Mark Lewis, has been hopping around Twitter outraged at my report detailing the presence of Campaign Against Anti-Semitism snoop Steve Silverman mixing it with various fascists.  For some reason she thought it was libellous.  I can only suggests she talks to Mark, if they’re on speaking terms that is.

A few of our old favourites - Sharon Klaff from South Africa who very much misses the old days when Blacks knew their place, Ambrosine Shitrit and is that Danny Thomo, Tommy Robinson's bodyguard partly obscured?

Despite the best attempts of the Jewish Chronicle and its reporter 'Liar' Lee Harpin to pretend that the ‘official’ Zionist opposition to the Al Quds march had nothing to do with assorted ranks of the far-Right – from Hitler saluting members of the EDL to Tommy Robinson supporters, including Robinson's personal body guard Danny Thomas, it was clear on the day that there was a unanimity of purpose and more.

Also contrary to the assertion by 'Liar' Lee the ‘official’ Zionist demonstration was organised by the Board of Deputies and the Zionist Federation. It was supported not organised by the far-Right Sussex Friends of Israel and the Israel Advocacy Movement whose members, like the absent Simon Cobbs, have previously demonstrated with the EDL and liaised with the Jewish Defence League.

The group of gangsters, fascists, neo-Nazis and disrupters were all cheered loudly and welcomed back to the static counter-demonstration after the Al Quds march had reached its destination. The Community Security Trust who were stewarding the counter-demo made no attempt to prevent the fascists joining the couple of hundred counter-demo thus giving the lie to the assertion that there was no contact between the far-Right and mainstream Zionists.

As per normal the Jewish Chronicle's reporting and that of Liar Lee Harpin can't be trusted.

The Israeli flag and the EDL's St George's flag fly side by side

The ‘official Zionists had a banner ‘Free Gaza from Hamas’ as if it is Hamas which has sealed the border with Israel, prevented medicine entering and cancer patients leaving, bombed schools, clinics and houses repeatedly from the air, shot and killed its fishermen at will and attacked ships carrying aid.  Presumably, according to this racist fiction, it is Hamas which shot over 200 unarmed demonstrators dead at the Gaza fence for the ‘crime’ of wanting to return to their own lands. Hamas was elected by the people of Gaza.  No one who lives there has voted for Israel's half a century occupation, so the Zionist counter-demonstration was based, as is normally the case, on a sick, indeed genocidal lie.

Mark Haringman - pointing out that I am Jewish!

The lies of the ‘official’ Zionists were also the lies of the far-Right demonstrators. They both campaigned under the pretence that Hamas is in occupation of its own people, rather than originating from them. It is of course true that Hamas is a conservative Islamic group which is sectarian towards the Palestinian struggle and repressive in its rule but what does one expect of a group that was formed with the help and support of the Israeli state? See video by Mehdi Hassan for Intercept.

The Zionists seem to 'forget' when Israel sponsored and financed Hamas as a counterweight against secular Palestinian nationalism

It is to be expected that the coloniser will blame the colonised for their plight. Thus has it ever been. The Nazis blamed the Jews for having caused their own destruction and the Zionists blame the Palestinians for the refugee situation and the confiscation and theft of their land.

By their own admission the Board of Deputies has got into bed with the fascist Zionists - NWFOI and SFI and IAM are far-Right organisations

Ambrosine Shitrit and Sharon Klaff's 'Eye on Antisemitism' Facebook page being somewhat disingenuous but they are right on one thing - the mainstream Zionist Board of Deputies has come out in support of the fascist wing of Zionism

The Jewish Chronicle report by ‘liar’ Lee  claimed that ‘Far right counter protestors waved Israeli flag - but later told the JC: 'Jews don't like us. We're anti-Zionist'  I can only assume that either the EDL realised just how thick the Jewish Chronicle’s correspondent is or Harpin believes that his readers are as stupid and duplicitous as he is. 

Why would anti-Zionists wave the Israeli flag? It makes no sense and very little of Harpin’s ‘report’ if one can dignify it with that title makes sense either.

Even liar Lee Harpin should be able to work out that neo-Nazis flying the Israeli flag are unlikely to be anti-Zionists (apart from the fact that anti-Zionism and racism are incompatible)

I saw no evidence whatsoever of any friction between the assorted far-Right forces, much down on last year and the Zionist far-Right. There were no incidents of conflict nor would one expect there to be. Israel is a fascists’ wet dream. It is the ideal ethno-nationalist state where you can exclude all those of the ‘wrong’ ethnic category or otherwise consign them to permanent guest status. There was a complete unanimity of purpose between the Jewish and non-Jewish fascists and far Right.  Both shared a hostility to an anti-racist demonstration of Muslims, Jews, Christians and people of no faith. It is not for nothing that the neo-Nazi founder of America's alt-Right, Richard Spencer, declared he was a White Zionist.

Silverman along with right-wing extremist blogger David Collier were quickly identified by police from their Watch List and,  like Danny Tommo were closely followed  by police all day. Collier went on to join Zionist criminal thugs who attempted to stop the march - such as Laurent Kachauda, a French shop assistant and Michael English who was visited in Manchester recently by Counter-terrorism Police as they were concerned “he might harm  Palestinians”.

A not very happy 'investigations officer' Steven Silverman mixing it with the far-Right Zionists

Danny Thomas, Tommy Robinson’s second in command, an ardent Zionist, was mingling with a variety of Zionists, including Steven Silverman of the far-Right Zionist ‘charity’ the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism.

My own day began with a chance meeting with one of the nastier fascist Zionists, Mark Haringman, who greeted me by asking when I was going to take down references to him on my blog. Previously he has emailed me saying that they were preventing him getting a job. I suspect there are other reasons!!

Thor Halland with an escort - whilst we welcome Thor's new found support for the Palestinians he must not attack our supporters!

When he told me I wasn’t worth suing then I informed him that in that case the information about him will remain on line and he responded that ‘we will get you in other ways’.  I think that counts as a threat (see video) but I doubt that the JC will consider that worth reporting!

Otherwise Haringman, who to be fair is not the brightest spark even among his fascist comrades kept calling me a ‘Jew’!  The only time that anyone has singled me out in that way has been from the neo-Nazi National Front. Perhaps he meant that being a Jew I shouldn't mix with Muslims or perhaps that being a Jew renders you immune to civilised standards of behaviour. It is difficult to know what this bigot meant and to be honest I don't care!

Amanda Shitrit in my face telling me she had returned - a prospect frightening enough to make even the bravest quake in their shoes

Ambrosine Shitrit sidled up to me and also informed me that I was a Jew. I told her that there had to be something more than that for us to become acquainted! I guess this is the mentality of these bigots. It is remarkably similar to the old kith-and-kin argument of White South Africans. You should support people, whatever they do because they are White/Jewish or whichever ethnicity is appropriate.These far-Right Zionists don’t seem to get it that the fact of being Jewish in this context, i.e. why are you here among Muslims if you are Jewish is remarkably similar to the old kith-and-kin argument of White South Africans.

Klaff/Shitrit fundraising to stop Al Quds - not terribly successful

I was pleased to hear that the march stewards had  circulated pages from my blog in order to enable quicker and more accurate identification of any Zionists trying to penetrate the demonstration!  I’m always pleased to be of service!

Other favourites there included a bearded and somewhat unfit looking Thor Halland.  Although I missed it it seemed Thor had done his best to get arrested, attacking a steward without cause or reason.  Fortunately for this Tory Party activist he was released to the other side of the road.  Not so lucky was Damon Lenzner, who is already up in Hendon magistrates court for assault and battery of a woman.

Mad Mel looking none too happy with Danny Tomo, Tommy Robinson's minder

Jonathan Hoffman, who is Lenzner's co-defendant, was also present with the group who waited outside Parliament intending to disrupt the march. With him there were Michael English, the small-time Manchester crook, Mad Mel Gharial and Laurence Kachauda, a French Herut member with convictions for violence against a female Palestine Solidarity member in France.  He was reported as threatening to attend the demonstration with a gun and I understand information to that effect was provided to the Police by the march organisers.  I'm not aware as to whether he was detained or questioned about his threats but he made it to the demonstration keeping a low profile.

'Mad' Mel Gharia was there as always, looking somewhat haggard.  Clearly the days of being a page 3 girl are long gone.  Sharon Klaff attempted to infiltrate the demonstration taking pictures and being a general nuisance!  One of the madder members of SFI, a Christian Zionist Fundamentalist named James Dyer wandered in and out of the demonstration.  It seemed as if he was looking for Armageddon and an early Rapture to heaven.  

The Zionists did their best to obstruct the progress of the march but in so far as they slowed it down it simply meant that more people saw us, which is somewhat counter-productive even from their point of view.  However it is always good to see the forces of Zionism and anti-Semitism combine with each other in common opposition to the Palestinian cause.

The idea that the EDL, who were proudly displaying the Israeli flag alongside the Cross of St George and the Union Jack were ‘anti-Zionist’ is risible.  Presumably even the boneheads of the EDL could work out that ‘liar’ Lee Harpin was as big a fool as they were.

As even Harpin was forced to admit, one member of the far-Right couldn’t contain themselves as ‘Another member of the far-right made a Nazi Seig Heil salute as police watched on.’  Even when in the presence of Zionists giving the Hitler salute is something that comes naturally to them.  We have had previous occasions where the EDL and assorted fascists have attacked Palestinian stalls with an Israeli flag in one hand whilst giving the Hitler salute with the other.

Below are some pictures to illustrate the days events.

He was sentenced to 2 years in prison for a drugs gang-related feud in Portsmouth.

Gharial was with Jonathan Hoffman  and Damon Lenszner in Carnably Street some months ago and both are due to appear at Hendon Magistrates Court with trial set for 19/20 June in relation to an incident then. A handcuffed Mr.Damon Lenszner  Esq. once again helping the Police with their enquiries.  I understand that he was later released without charge.

Thor Halland aka Peter Holland, Dimitri etc etc Another close associate of Jonathan Hoffman, Thor Halland was also arrested.  Once the police had eventually managed to restrain him and taken his details he was released and headed straight back to join the group of small-time far right fascist losers.

Wherever the unstable Thor goes these days he seems to require a huge amount of carers –yesterday the police were watching him closely all day too.   From the look of him we would advise he should get out more.We would point out to him as Chairman of a Conservative Association in Walthamstow  with his free market principles  he is now more of a burden on the State than any  single mother or anyone on Benefits.

Exclusive – Leader of the Confederation of Scottish Friends of Israel, Nigel Goodrich is a member of a Secret Fascist Facebook Group, the Jewish Defence Forces

Are the SWP/Stand up to Racism seriously going to welcome a racist organisation, headed by a Christian Fascist, onto an ‘anti-racist’ march this Saturday?

This video is about the Admin of Jewish Defence Forces FB Group, Mordechai Kedar, an ex Colonel in the IDF and a lecturer at Bar Ilan University - Kedar believes that it is right to rape Palestinian mothers and sisters of 'terrorists' to deter attacks. His views are widely supported in the Friends of Israel groups

Nigel Goodrich - Convenor of Confederation of Scottish Friends of Israel and member of fascist Facebook group

Mark Haringman and Paul Besser of Britain First

Less than a month ago I posted an article ‘Why is Stand Up To Racism and the SWP Welcoming Racist Zionist Groups onto an anti-racist march?’ The article detailed how known fascists such as Max Dunbar, ex-Treasurer of the BNP and now Treasurer of another fascist group, Britannica and Jimmy Robertson, former security chief of the BNP in the Highlands had been helping to run the Glasgow Friends of Israel (GFI) stall. When exposed COFIS purportedly distanced themselves from them.

According to GFI Labour is a Nazi party!

Glasgow Friends of Israel congratulate the SWP/SUTR on making them feel welcome

Tommy Robinson and COFIS supporters even wear the same tee shirts

The BNP's Max Dunbar on left and Sammy Stein of GFI

The article also explained in copious detail how both Confederation of Friends of Israel in Scotland (COFIS) and GFI were extremely racist and reactionary. From promoting Katie Hopkins, the columnist who even the Daily Mail fired, having described refugees as ‘vermin’ to joking about rape and alleging that Razan al-Najar, the 21 year old victims of Israeli gunfire in Gaza had been a rape victim murdered by her own side.

COFIS boast how much Katie Hopkins loves Israel

GFI has previously called the Labour Party a Nazi party, Jeremy Corbyn anti-Semitic, ‘evil’, a Nazi and so on.

None of this however has deterred Scottish SUTR and the SWP from welcoming these Zionist organisations onto their march.  It is as if the SWP is incapable of making the connections between Zionism and racism against the Palestinians and racism in Britain. This despite the false anti-Semitism campaign of the Zionists to demonise and deligitimise Palestinians. Despite claiming to be Marxist the SWP do not understand that those who support the vilest anti-Palestinian racism might not be the best anti-racist allies in Britain.

GFI boast  how welcome the SWP have made them

The march is nearly upon us, this Saturday and the SWP/SUTR, is still sticking by COFIS and GFI and making them welcome on their march. If the past is anything to go by then the SWP are unlikely to change their minds.  When the SWP’s leadership dig their heels in then virtually nothing, moves them.

Paul Besser in rear with Paul Golding, leader of Britain 1st is member of Jewish Defence Forces FB page alongside Nigel Goodrich of COFIS

6 years ago, when the SWP were in the middle of a crisis over the rape and sexual harassment of women in the SWP (a woman who alleged she was raped and then traumatised by the SWP was unable to even speak in her own defence at a special conference called around the issue) the SWP leadership around Alex Callinicos circled the wagons.  At that time they preferred to defend a close colleague accused of rape and sack and victimise those who opposed what was happening (a daughter of a close friend of mine was dismissed from their employment) rather than change their line.

I therefore do not expect that the SWP, because that is who runs and controls SUTR will change their minds. The SWP leadership is never wrong, even when it is wrong! And when the line changes, as it did over working with the anti-Semitic Gilad Atzmon, the record of what happened previously is wiped clean much like Stalin’s airbrushing of Trotsky.

We have now obtained conclusive proof that the leader of the COFIS, Nigel Goodrich, is not only a Christian Fundamentalist but also a fascist

Nigel Goodrich is a member of a closed Facebook Group Jewish Defence Forces alongside other fascists.

Paul Besser

Besser with British 1st Deputy Leader Jayda Fransen

Besser was on the demonstration for Tommy Robinson outside the Old Bailey when his appeal was being heard

Besser was former ‘Intelligence Officer’ for Britain First (despite his own lack of intelligence). He was more recently filmed on the demonstration outside the Royal Court of Justice in support of Tommy Robinson.  He is a paid up fascist and even mainstream Zionists prefer to keep him at far length. Not so Nigel Goodrich, the far-Right Evangelist who runs COFIS.

Simon Cobbs

Cobbs is a founder of Sussex Friends of Israel and someone who has previously been known to be close to both the EDL and the Kahanist Judeo-Nazi Jewish Defence League. His  avatar is that of a child although he is anything but. He was the one who organised a meeting with rape advocate Mordechai Kedar

Sharon Klaff

A South Africa Zionist who has a long pedigree of support for Apartheid – Israeli and South African. Her grandfather, a Revisionist Zionist was one of the few (if only) Jews who managed to get themselves interned in South Africa for Nazi sympathies!

Joseph Cohen

Of the Israel Advocacy Movement is a well known extreme Zionist.

Jonathan Hoffman

Hoffman with Roberta Moore of the neo-Nazi JDL besides him

Jonathan Hoffman with Britain 1st Besser and Gemma Sheridan of the JDL in between them

Formerly the Vice-Chair of the Zionist Federation before falling out with big mining capitalist Micky Davis (& virtually everybody else!). He is willing to work with any fascist or anti-Semite if they support Israel.  He even defended Kevin Myers, the Sunday Times columnist sacked for anti-Semitism after having said that Jews never knowingly undersold themselves. Even the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism criticised Myers.

Mark Haringman

Another Zionist fascist who works closely with Besser and the rest of the crewe is Mark Haringman. Originally hailing from Ireland where the Palestine solidarity movement is even stronger than in Britain! A generally nasty piece of work.

Robert de Jonge and Roberta Moore

These are fully paid up Jewish Nazis both being members of the Jewish Defence League, a group proscribed in the United States as a terrorist group.  They are Kahanists and even their fellow Zionists describe the group which they belong to (it used to be known as Kach) which believes Arab males who have sexual relations with Jewish women should be gaoled.  Ironically Jonge is himself non-Jewish!

Mark Lewis

The Zionist solicitor who has emigrated to Israel because he is a ‘victim’ of anti-Semitism and who was recently fined by the Solicitors Regulation Authority for telling people on Twitter to go and die. He is also a member of this Facebook group as well as Herut.

Mordechai Kedar

Kedar is a lecturer at Tel Aviv’s religious Bar Ilan University. He is the Administrator of the group and its founder. He achieved a certain notoriety when he proposed that one way to eliminate ‘terrorism’ was to rape the mothers and sisters of ‘terrorists’.  He held that this would be a deterrent given the ‘Arab mentality’ re the violation of women.  

In December 2014 Kedar was invited by Sussex Friends of Israel to speak to a meeting when he was touring Britain. According to the Jewish Chronicle in 2012  Kedar spoke at a conference alongside Tommy Robinson, then of the EDL, now of the Football Lads Alliance. Kedar not only urged White Europeans to have more babies but Muslims he declared were "multiplying - somebody said [like] rats". This is the kind of language Hitler used about the Jews but the SWP/SUTR apparently think that the leader of a group who keeps company with Kedar is fit to take part in an ‘anti-racist’ march.

Why Does Hove Jewish Centre, Ralli Hall Allow an Advocate of Rape to Speak but ban an Anti-Racist Critic of Israel

David Collier

2 fascists together - Dr Brian, Tommy Robinson supporter and David Collier - associate of assorted fascists

David Collier, who poses as an independent researcher is in actual fact a far-Right Zionist, a supporter of Herut and an associate of Dr Brian, the main Israeli supporter of Tommy Robinson. Collier is also a member of this fascist Facebook group.  He is a vicious anti-Palestinian racist who denies even the existence of Palestinians or the refugees.
