The Board of Deputies & the Zionist Lobby said that British Jews Support Genocide in Gaza
Is it Surprising That Someone Believed Them?
It goes
without saying that the attack on Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester should be
condemned unreservedly. British Jews are not responsible for the war crimes and
genocide taking place in Gaza, despite the best efforts of the claque of Zionist
organisations to get people to believe that they are.
The so-called Jewish representative organisations like the Board
of Deputies, the Campaign
Against Antisemitism, Jewish Leadership
Council and the astoundingly stupid Chief
Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis bear a large responsibility for what happened in
Manchester when two Jewish worshippers lost their lives.
As far as
I can ascertain from two AI programmes (Chat GP and Grok) there has never been
a fatal attack on a Jewish synagogue before 2 October 2025. The person who
carried out the attack, Jihad
al-Shamie, is highly likely to have been motivated, not by racial hatred
but by Israel’s war crimes and genocide in Gaza.
Contrary
to Starmer’s suggestion
that an age-old anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews is to blame, the causes are
modern. It is Starmer’s supply of arms and weaponry to Israel and support of
military collaboration with Israel that helped cause the murders in Manchester.
In November 2009 on the BBC’s Big Questions I attacked those Zionist organisations in Britain who spend their time trying to convince people that British Jews support Israel’s war crimes. This was reported by the Jewish Chronicle as ‘The Board of Deputies is to blame for rising antisemitism in Britain, according to a leading member of a Jewish anti-Israel group’.
What I said
was that:
“Of course there’s no justification for
antisemitism, but there’s also no justification for the Board of Deputies
calling rallies in support of the invasion of Lebanon and Gaza in the name of
the British Jewish community. That causes antisemitism. [Jewish Chronicle 19.11.09].
Those who
openly supported the murder and massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and Palestine in
the name of British Jews are those who are ultimately guilty for the murder of 2 Jewish
worshippers in Manchester.
Less than a week ago on Twitter I told the Board of Deputies
If you want to stop anti-Semitism @boardofdeputies then stop associating British Jews with the Holocaust in Gaza.

Your support for Zionism, a Christian ideology originally, makes Jews unsafe because most people don't like those who starve children to death. That's what the… https://t.co/IAgx9f3hsT
The Board of Deputies Protesting That The Government Has Resumed Funding UNWRA and Is Not Objecting to the ICC's Jurisdiction re Israeli War Crimes
I went on
to say that
Any British Jews who supports Israel's
holocaust and starvation in Gaza should not complain of 'antisemitic hate' when
what it really is is a justifiable reaction against Jewish Nazism.
The Board defends Israel's cold-blooded murder of unarmed Palestinian demonstrators as Hamas using children as pawns
The Board of Deputies has consistently supported every war
crime of the Israeli state. It supported
the murder of over 300 unarmed Palestinians in Gaza in the Great Return march.
It supports Israel’s genocide and indeed penalised
those few Deputies who eventually spoke out against the genocide.
The Jewish Chronicle Defends Israel's Starvation of Children by Pretending That They All Suffered from Medical Conditions not Lack of Food!
The Jewish
Chronicle has been even worse. It should be renamed ‘The Holocaust Denial Gazette’. It has repeatedly defended
Israel starving Palestinian children to death claiming that they had medical
pre-conditions. It is as if starving to death already ill children was
justified. Previously only Hitler justified
starving disabled children as part of his ‘euthenasia’ program.
It took
the Times of Israel to rebut
the lies of the British Jewish Establishment which had justified Israel’s
policy of starving the population of Gaza. The ToI quoted two senior Israeli doctors, including the head of the
pediatric gastroenterology unit at one of Israel’s premier medical
institutions, who ‘insisted that
al-Mutawaq’s severely emaciated state is not the result of his preexisting
medical conditions alone.’
The attempt
of the Zionist propagandists to justify Israel’s policy of starving the
population, denying it was even happening, by suggesting that photographs of
starving children were misleading in not mentioning pre-existing medical
ailments was given legs by a particularly
nauseating apologist for Israeli war crimes, David Collier. This was quickly
followed
up by the misnamed Honest Reporting Zionist
site
The Board of Deputies and other Zionist organisations were at the centre of the fake and false 'antisemitism' allegations
The ToI quoted Israeli doctors as having
insisted that
no child suffering from
such diseases in Israel or most other Western countries would be so
skeletal or display such severe malnutrition, and that he was likely in such
condition due to an inability to access the proper nutritional supplements.
Prof. Dan
Turner, the head of a pediatric gastroenterology unit and Deputy Dean of the
School of Medicine at the Hebrew University stated that
You
categorically do not find kids looking like that in Israel or Western countries.
Even patients with background diseases should not be malnourished like that. A
patient like that would be admitted to hospital.
None of
this is to justify what happened in Manchester. There are those in the Palestine
solidarity movement who buy into the Zionist lie that Israel is a Jewish state and
that the British and US states are controlled by Zionists. Such people therefore
believe that attacking individual Jewish Zionists in Britain or the US is the
solution to Western imperialism’s support for Israel.
These
lies are dangerously wrong. Israel is supported by Western elites, not because
the British or American states are controlled by Zionists or subject to Zionist
infiltration as Professor David Miller has stupidly suggested but because
Western imperialism deems it in its interests to support the Israeli attack dog
in the Middle East. See Jonathan Cook’s The
billionaire class want you thinking Israel controls the West and In
Gaza, western colonialism has been unmasked
It is in the interests
of western elites to pretend that their support for Israel is all about their
concern for Jews and ‘anti-Semitism’, the only form of racism that Trump,
Reform and the Tories condemn. That this is all about a ‘Jewish’ state trying
to protect itself, albeit over zealously at times, and tie that in with the
interests of Jewish populations in the West.
It is convenient for those
self-same elites to disguise their own interests in oil and geo-political strategy with concern for Jews. Jews
have become the moral alibi for Israel's war crimes and the slaughter of thousands of children, the rape and murder of women and the
torture camps for Gaza’s men.
Those who condemn the killing of 2 Jewish worshippers
in Manchester should equally condemn the killing of Muslim and Christian worshippers
in Gaza yet the genocidal Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and the genocide supporting
President of the Board of Deputies, Phil Rosenberg have said nothing about the
attacks on places of worship in Gaza. On the contrary when 36 Deputies issued a
mild letter of criticism in the FT Rosenberg had them disciplined and issued
his own letter saying that ‘The Board of Deputies stands firmly
with Israel… not THAT letter.’
ABC
- Holy Family Church in Gaza Attacked - 2 Murdered
The
attack on a Manchester synagogue and the killing of two worshippers was no more
reprehensible than Israel’s repeated attacks
on mosques and churches in Gaza and the killing of thousands of worshippers.
Unfortunately the only attacks that have gained publicity have been those on
Gaza’s only Catholic church, the Holy Family Parish. Israeli snipers on 16 December
2023 killed
two parishioners, mother and daughter Nahida and
Samar Anton.
Cardinal
Nicholls interview over sniper attack on Holy Family Church - Mother and
Daughter Shot Dead
The Wikipedia
article gives the background to the Israeli assault on the Holy Family
church. Pope Francis rang the priest Father Gabriel Romanelli every night and
condemned Israel’s attacks as terrorism.
Something which the new Pope Leo hasn’t done.
Israel’s liar-in-chief and Prime Minister, Netanyahu, ‘regretted’ the fact
that ‘stray ammunition’ hit Gaza's only Catholic Church, killing three people
sheltering there. No one else doubts that Israeli tanks deliberately fired
shells at the Church which the IDF considers to be an obstacle to the ethnic
cleansing of Gaza.
Although the Zionists will purport to condemn the
attack on a Manchester synagogue in reality many, especially in Israel, will
welcome it. There is a long history of Zionists seeing anti-Semitic attacks as
a good thing in that it will drive Jews into believing that only a ‘Jewish’
state can protect them.
As Abraham Shpadrong (Sharon) wrote in Davar in July 1952:
… if I had the power, as I have the will, I would select a score of
efficient young men… and I would send them to the countries where Jews are
absorbed in sinful self-satisfaction. The task of these young men would be to
disguise themselves as non-Jews, and plague these Jews with anti-semitic
slogans, such as 'Bloody Jew,' 'Jews go to Palestine,' and similar
'intimacies.' I can vouch that the results, in terms of considerable
immigration to Israel from these countries, would be ten thousand
times larger than the results brought by thousands of emissaries who have been,
for decades, preaching to deaf ears. [Alfred Lilienthal, The Other Side of the
Coin, Devin-Adair, NY, p. 47].
Iraqi Jews Were Convinced that Israeli Agents Had a
Hand in Their Uprooting – Avi Shlaim
In Iraq in 1950/51 Zionist agents planted bombs in Jewish
cafes and threw a bomb into a synagogue, Masuda Shemtov, in order to simulate
anti-Semitism.
Without anti-Semitism there is no Zionism which is
why the Zionist leaders welcomed Hitler to power and saw a ‘golden opportunity’
for their movement in the rise of the Nazis. Those supporters of the Palestinians who see their
salvation in anti-Semitism are doing exactly what the Zionists want them to do.
The murder of two Jews in Manchester can only be of benefit to Israel
and its supporters. It is in the interests of Zionism to increase the level of anti-Semitism in the West. Anti-Semitism has been Zionism's best recruiting sergeant. That is why the actions of Jihad al-Shamie have ended up strengthening Zionism not weakening it.
It is also why those who believe that it is in the interests of the Palestinians to unite with neo-Nazis, as Rehiana Ali clearly does, are unwittingly serving the interests of Zionism not the Palestinians.
