After Hartlepool there is only one question. Is Labour’s decline terminal?
It never ceases to amaze how the repetition of a lie quickly becomes a received truth. Goebbels must be turning in his grave. If only Labour had supported Brexit then all would be well. The statistics demonstrate that regardless of the position Labour took it would have done badly. Continue reading

Labour antisemitism allegations: How Corbyn and Starmer are judged by different standards

Was Albert Einstein an anti-Semite?
Was Albert Einstein an anti-Semite? Was Hannah Arendt? These questions may sound ludicrous. Yet, according to the definition of anti-Semitism that more than 30 countries — including the United States through the Biden Administration — recently adopted, these two leading intellectuals could very well be labeled as such. This is due to an open letter… Continue reading

With this flawed antisemitism definition, Britain is closing down academic freedom
In October, British Education Secretary Gavin Williamson ordered universities in the country to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)’s working definition of antisemitism. They are to do so by Christmas or face government sanctions. Continue reading

It is the equalities commission, not Labour, carrying out political interference
I recently published in Middle East Eye a long analysis of last week’s report by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission into the question of whether the UK Labour party had an especial antisemitism problem. (You can read a slightly fuller version of that article on my website.) In the piece, I reached two main conclusions. Continue reading

Being Jewish in North Islington Labour Party
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to write, yet again, about being a Jewish member of the Labour Party in Jeremy Corbyn’s constituency. So let me tell you at once that it has been terrible, almost unbearable. We have had to watch a wholly false, but soon unstoppable, invention of charges… Continue reading

Antisemitism report: By suspending Corbyn, Starmer is tearing Labour apart
Last night, it was not even clear what rule Corbyn was supposed to have broken. And while the media establishment is busy eviscerating the political corpse of Jeremy Corbyn, a closer look at the actual content of Thursday’s report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission suggests he’s been done an injustice. Continue reading

Time to Stand Up and Be Counted
Today, nothing is more important than to say that we will not be silent on the dreadful oppression of the Palestinian people; the daily beatings, killings, humiliations, demolitions, expropriations and destruction of groves that are the concomitant of Israeli illegal occupation. Continue reading

Labour report reveals how Jeremy Corbyn was sabotaged from within
An internal investigation has found that top Labour Party officials sabotaged Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, including by trying to lose the 2017 UK election. The report also suggests that the same people who tried to undermine Corbyn were themselves the ones who were slow to respond to allegations of anti-Semitism — another weapon that was used… Continue reading

Zionist Terror in London
They destroyed the Labour Party, now they have launched a campaign against the British arts scene. Will they successfully abuse the moniker of anti-Semitism to destroy any place, person or organization where they sense opposition? Continue reading

A small victory for free speech on Israel
When we first began organizing a launch event for a Noam Chomsky book, we suspected it might be targeted by pro-Israel activists. After all the book, The Responsibility Of Intellectuals: Reflections by Noam Chomsky and Others after 50 Years, was based on a 2017 conference at University College London (UCL) that had been targeted by… Continue reading

Corbyn refuses to fight ramped-up bogus “anti-Semitism” witch-hunt
Ever since Corbyn’s election in 2015, Labour’s right-wing Blairite faction have worked with Zionist groups, the Conservative Party and the media to portray every criticism of Israel and its brutal war on the Palestinians as anti-Semitism. What is made clear by Pompeo’s remarks is that this witch-hunt is a PSYOPS campaign involving the security services… Continue reading

The Guardians of the Jewish ‘Mainstream’ Have Their Own Questions to Answer Over Jews’ Corbyn Fears
On day one of this general election campaign, the Jewish Chronicle ran an editorial imploring non-Jewish British citizens not to vote Labour. Citing a poll commissioned by the paper which suggested that 87% of British Jews consider Jeremy Corbyn to be an antisemite, the Chronicle warned: “If this man is chosen as our next prime… Continue reading

GE2019 Reveals True Purpose of “Antisemitism” Smear Campaign
The centrists really didn’t want this election. The reasons were never made especially clear. I know some people said it was a trick to force through No Deal Brexit, and apparently it means some (as yet unidentified) school had to cancel its Christmas fete. Continue reading
