Yesterday was the first day of Passover and the irony wasn’t lost on me that of all days it was announced The Jewish Chronicle had gone bust nor was the irony lost on me that those news sites such as The Canary which The Jewish Chronicle constantly accused of being antisemitic for defending Jeremy Corbyn and criticising the Israeli government is fully operational and thriving, yep can’t say this Jew was terribly weepy upon hearing the news yesterday that The Jewish Chronicle was no more considering the part they played in smearing Jeremy Corbyn throughout his tenure as Labour Leader.

A friend of mine said to me they reckoned now Jeremy Corbyn is no longer leader of the Labour Party then all the continuous bullshit there was during his leadership about the Labour Party being antisemitic will be no more as it was purely being used as a means to undermine his leadership of Labour due him having been a long time champion of justice for the Palestinian people. I do think there is a great deal of truth to say overall antisemitism was weaponised as a tool to undermine Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party, but I don’t know whether the instigators were Zionist bigots non to pleased about Jeremy speaking up for the Palestinian people and criticising Israeli government policy or if it was uber capitalistic interests crapping themselves because Jeremy Corbyn had a brand of socialism which appealed to the masses or a combination of the two, however the one thing I do know is unadulterated antisemitic bigotry is still prevalent amongst the Labour ranks even with Corbyn gone.

Keir Starmer

It’s been pretty noticeable that since the moment it was announced Keir Starmer had been elected Labour leader last Saturday that his upmost top priority was to make amends with the Jewish community, immediately from his victory speech after being elected Labour leader in which he said antisemitism had been a stain upon the Labour Party and apologising for the hurt it has caused the Jewish community to having a conference call with prominent leaders of the Jewish community, but unfortunately Starmer’s conciliatory approach to the Jewish community hasn’t gone done well with all Labour members some of whom have been posting on social media about how they reckon for having been conciliatory towards the Jewish community Starmer is now a Zionist puppet, for fucks sake he was being considerate towards Jewish people not sucking Benjamin Netanyahu’s gnarly Zionist cock and saying go kill Palestinians, seriously if you think being nice to Jewish people makes you a Zionist tool then you are a fucking antisemite, you see I never ever denied there wasn’t an issue with antisemitism amongst the Labour membership I just never bought Jeremy Corbyn was an antisemite.

Thinking is if there to be a purge of the lefty left from the Labour party then first to be targeted will be members Momentum which the Blairite likes of Alan Johnson want to happen, but I’m wondering if Starmer making the effort he is to make amends with Jewish community if members of Jewish Voice For Labour won’t be the first to be targeted if there is to be a purge, particularly as Starmer has signed up to the stipulations laid down by the Board of Deputies as a means of rectifying the issue of antisemitism within the Labour Party and one of those stipulations being I quote ‘engage with the Jewish community via its main representative groups’ which for those of us in the know is an obvious swipe at Jewish Voice For Labour. Jewish Voice For Labour came about due to there being a schism within the Jewish Labour Movement which is the officially recognised Jewish group within the Labour Party, as some had become concerned with JLM having become to overtly Zionist or put another way JLM were unwilling to recognise the need for there to be justice for the Palestinian people, concerns with the broadening of the definition of antisemitism beyond its meaning of discrimination and hatred against Jews for being Jews or put another way JLM reckon if you say nasty things about the Israeli government then you’re an antisemitic bigot, oh and ultimately JLM’s refusal to support Jeremy Corbyn rather they joined in with propaganda machinery smearing him.

The one thing Zionist Jews can’t abide is anti-Zionist Jews, they want there to be united front and silence those of us Jews who have serious issues on so many levels to Netanyahu’s apartheid regime against the Palestinians. It’s not as if I nor any member of Jewish Voice For Labour are wanting to debate the legitimacy of state of Israel or argue for the dismantlement of the state of Israel, we all just strongly disagree with the current Israeli government’s racist policies towards the Palestinians and there’s nothing antisemitic in calling out the Israeli government for its racist policies and if you think there is then your fucking demented because the most fundamental democratic right any person should have is to be able to challenge those who govern over us otherwise you’re on the road to a totalitarian police state.

To placate the Jewish community which I guess Keir Starmer feels he must do for the obvious reasons of political expediency, I fear members of Jewish Voice For Labour will be used as sacrificial lambs because their views don’t tally with the majority opinion when it comes to leaders of the Jewish community and if that happens then it would be a damn injustice in my opinion.
