Reeves Combines
Zionism, Racism, Admiration for a Hitler Loving Anti-Semite & Hostility to
the Disabled & Claimants - a Bigot for All Seasons
Sturmer pays tribute to Jeremy Corbyn
Trying to find the
most despicable politician in Britain today is no easy matter. The competition
is strong. The Tories have no end of good candidates – Ugly Patel, Cruella
Braverman, Boris and Mogg – but they are Tories. You would expect no better of those
who are ‘lower
than vermin’ (A Bevan).
The competition is equally
strong amongst Labour MPs. Keir Starmer himself is a strong contender, not
least because when it comes to honesty and respect for the truth he makes Boris
Johnson seem a paragon of virtue. Jess Phillips would also be a strong
contender if anyone took her seriously. But the winner by a mile has to be Shadow
Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Reeves has all the
required qualities of bigotry, prejudice, upper class disdain and sheer dishonesty.
A former Bank of England economist she is so far to the right that she’s in
danger of falling off the planet.
Reeves first came to
people’s attention as an unreconstructed stone-age right-winger when, in an interview
with the Guardian she declared that
“We are not the party of people on benefits. We
don’t want to be seen, and we’re not, the party to represent those who are out
of work,” she said. “Labour are a party of working people, formed for and by
working people.”
18 months previously,
as Ed Miliband’s shadow work and pensions secretary, she
had promised
that
‘We would be tougher [than
the Conservatives]. If they don't take it [the offer of a job] they will
forfeit their benefit.’
In other words starvation would be used to make the jobless take the any job, however low the pay. Thus continuing the Tory policy of using unemployment to lower the price of labour. She also promised that Labour would be tougher than the Tories when it comes to slashing the benefits bill.
Yet if anyone is
likely to replace the charisma-free zone that is Keith Starmer then it is
Reeves, who doesn’t have a socialist bone in her body. Unlike Starmer she
didn’t serve in Corbyn’s shadow cabinet and never felt obliged to say anything
in his defence unlike
the two-faced Starmer.
A number of leading
Zionists like Jewish Chronicle Editor Jake Wallis Simons
have criticised
Starmer because of this. Starmer’s replacement may prove attractive to the
Labour Right. See Can
Jews like me trust Keir Starmer’s Labour party?
The hypocrisy and
dishonesty surrounding Labour’s fake ‘anti-Semitism’ campaign is nowhere better
evidenced in Reeves admiration
for the Hitler admiring Lady Nancy Astor, the second woman to be elected to
Parliament on 28 November 1919.
The Countess Markievicz
Reeves claim that
Astor was the first woman elected
to Parliament conveniently omitted the revolutionary socialist Sinn Fein MP the
Countess Markievicz who was elected 11 months earlier, though she did not take
her seat.
Labour Party members
have been expelled for far less than praise for a Hitler devotee, yet Starmer deliberately
ignored Reeves gushing praise of Astor. The same was true of the Guardian’s
Jonathan Freedland who uttered not a word of criticism of Reeves, confining
his criticism to Corbyn.
Corbyn was slated
by the Board of Deputies for having ignored John Hobson’s anti-Semitism in his
introduction to Imperialism yet
Hobson’s anti-Semitism pales in comparison to that of Astor.
The Anti-Semitism of Lady Astor that Reeves & Starmer Have
Endorsed by Omission
In 1936 Lady Astor and
others of her class, wrote
to Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin that they “‘wholeheartedly’ endorsed the Führer‘s act” in marching into the
Rhineland. The Cliveden
set, named after Astor’s country residence, was a term first used by the Reynolds News on 28 November 1937. In 1938
they entertained Nazi apologist Charles Lindbergh. The group were highly
sympathetic to fascism. A David
Low cartoon published in the Evening
Standard, showed Astor and Times Editor Geoffrey Dawson and
others, holding high the slogan "Any
Sort of Peace at Any Sort of Price".
Astor and fellow parasites
did I not
after all believe there must be something of the Jews themselves which had
brought them persecution throughout all the ages? Was it not therefore, in the
final analysis, their responsibility?
Astor accused
the Foreign Office of being manipulated by Catholics, who she also hated.
Astor
became convinced
that she was a victim of “Jewish Communistic propaganda”. In the House of
Commons on 28 February 1938, Harold Nicolson heard Alan Graham, Tory Party MP
for Wirral, say to Astor: "I do not
think you behaved very well." She replied: "Only a Jew like you would dare to be rude to me." The News
Chronicle commented
that Astor's "emotions about the
Jews" had overcome "her
sense of fitness". She introduced Chaim
Weizmann at a party as "the only
decent Jew I have ever met." Which says as much about Weizmann, the
President of the World Zionist Organisation and Israel’s first President as it does
about Astor.
Claude
Cockburn linked
the Astors to appeasement on the basis that they were keen to use Hitler as a
bulwark against Bolshevism. Astor had connections with
influential people such as Philip Kerr who was active as an emissary to Hitler.
Astor complained
that the Observer, which belonged to her husband's family, was "full of homosexuals and Jews" and
worked to bar Jews and Catholics from the newspaper's senior positions.
Astor wrote
letters to US Ambassador Joseph Kennedy in which she suggested the Nazis were a
solution to "the world problems"
of Jewry and Communism. She told Kennedy Hitler would have to do more than "give a rough time" to "the killers of Christ" for
her to want Britain and America to launch
"Armageddon
to save them. The wheel of history swings round as the Lord would have it. Who
are we to stand in the way of the future?"
She was referred
to as "the Honourable Member from
Berlin" during a 1939 Commons debate. Her opposition to the war earned
her the title of "Hitler's woman in
Britain".
It is
inconceivable that Reeves was unaware of Nancy Astor’s virulent anti-Semitism
yet even when it was pointed out to her, she refused to retract her praise of
Astor. Starmer adamantly
refused to do anything.
Let it
not be said that Reeves only has a blind spot when it comes to anti-Semitism
and love of Hitler. Reeves is equally bigoted against the unemployed and disabled saying
that Labour does not want to represent people out of work.
Reeves, like many
anti-Semites, adores the Israeli state and Zionism. After Kim Johnson had been threatened
with the loss of the whip for describing Israel as a fascist and apartheid
state, Reeves said
that Johnson’s treatment was ‘a sign of just how serious Keir
Starmer is at booting both antisemitism and “anti-Zionism” out of Labour.’
In an article
‘I’m proud to be a Labour Friend of
Israel’, Reeves said she believed that political criticism of Israel was motivated
by antisemitism. A completely evidence-free accusation as she herself proves. She
also made
it clear that the presence of fascists and neo-Nazis in Israel’s government
would ‘not stop a future Labour
government forging a strong relationship with the Jewish state’.
Since
Reeves equates hostility to Israeli Apartheid with anti-Semitism it is
worthwhile seeing if there is any basis to what Kim Johnson said.
Mass murderer Baruch Goldstein - hero to Israel's Police Minister Itamar Ben Gvir
The Israeli Government’s Fascists & Neo-Nazis
The spiritual guide of
Israel’s Police Minister, convicted racist Itamar Ben-Gvir, is Rabbi Dov Lior,
the Chief Rabbi of Kiryat Arba. Dov Lior once said
that “a
thousand non-Jewish lives are not worth a Jew’s fingernail”.
Rabbi Yaacov Perrin,
when presiding
at Baruch Goldstein’s funeral, a man who on 25 February 1994 entered the
Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron opening fire and killing 29 worshippers, told mourners that
even 1 million Arabs “are not worth a Jewish fingernail.
Lior described
Goldstein as "holier than all the
martyrs of the Holocaust." and until recently had
a picture of Goldstein on the wall of his front room. But to Starmer and
Reeves it is forbidden to mention that Israel is governed by those advocating
genocide of the Palestinians. People who hold security posts in Israel’s
cabinet.
Dov
Lior also endorsed
Torat HaMelech, a guide to how to
kill non-Jews according to Jewish religious law. It was written in 2009 by two
rabbis, Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur. The following are extracts
from the book:
“If we kill a gentile who has violated one of the seven
commandments [the Noahide laws], there is nothing wrong with the murder,”
Shapira
wrote that even babies and children of Israel’s enemies may be killed, since “it is clear that they will grow to harm us. Which
is almost word for word what Himmler said when justifying killing Jewish
children.
‘Anywhere where the presence of a gentile
poses a threat to Israel, it is permissible to kill him, even if it is a
righteous gentile who is not responsible for the threatening situation.”
Other rabbis who
endorsed the book included Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, son of former Sephardic Chief
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
Gvir belonged to Rabbi
Meir Kahane’s Kach.
Its spokesman, Noam Federman, described Goldsteins mass murder of Palestinians as
“one of greatness. It was a great act of
sanctifying the Name (God).”
Zvika
Fogel, a member of Gvir’s Religious Zionism, declared
that
“if it is one
Israeli mother crying, or a thousand Palestinian mothers crying, then a
thousand Palestinian mothers will cry.”
Even Israelis have described
Israel’s government as having fascist and neo-Nazi members. Daniel Blatman, a
holocaust historian at the Hebrew University and Chief Historian at Poland’s
Warsaw Ghetto Museum has just written an article
for Ha’aretz ‘Israel’s Government Has neo-Nazi Ministers. It Really Does Recall
Germany in 1933’. Ideologically Gvir, Smotrich and other
members of Netanyahu’s coalition are close to the Nazis, yet Reeves told
the Jewish News that she had been 'incredibly angry, frustrated and depressed' by someone telling the truth about Israeli
apartheid and fascism.
It would be unfair to
Reeves just to target her for her virulent Zionism. She is equally racist when
it comes to asylum seekers. As the Tories began demonising refugees crossing
the Channel and talking of an ‘invasion’ where was Reeves? Did she protest at
the Tories racist rhetoric? Not a bit of
it. She joined in calling
on the Tories to “get a grip” of the immigration system
and “ensure that people who have not got
a right to be here are sent home.”
And no one is happier about the mass haemorrhaging of Labour Party members. The more members leave the better as far as Reeves is concerned. Because she is, after all, a true democrat Starmer style.
