Guy Debord's Cat on Mr Finegold - a conclusion

If you remember my take on Guy Debord's Cat post about the laughable non-existence of anti-semitism in the Labour party and the left generally, I give you Mr Debord's final comment.

As usually the case with most leftists he failed to answer my points and accused me of smearing him.  What's really interesting is that he denies that I was ever in the SWP.  So he obviously knows me better than I do myself.

Left wing anti-semitism reloaded.

Jackie Walker suspension and reinstatement

After a short break its back to politcs, this time its the recent re-instatement of leading Momentum campaigner Jackie Walker back into the Labour party.  She was suspended for comments she made on social media about the role of Jews and the African slave trade.  Walker is of Black African and Jewish descent.In the remark below, Walker calls the African slave trade the "African holocaust", thereby linking its severity with the Nazi Holocaust.

“As I’m sure you know, millions more Africans were killed in the African holocaust and their oppression continues today on a global scale in a way it doesn’t for Jews.”

Couple of things

• Although shocking, the African slave trade was not the destruction of a race of people, which was the aim of the Nazi holocaust.
• Even though she does not mention it, she is likely to be referring to the trans-Atlantic slave trade. White Europeans did not have a monopoly on the slave trade, there has been an Arab slave trade in East Africa and it still exists today.  This is even mentioned in some strategy games.
• In the Nazi holocaust it was non-Jews killing Jews but in the African slave trade it was black Africans who captured and sold their fellow black Africans to both the Arabs and the Europeans.  Yep, you heard it, black Africans are even more culpable in slavery than both the Europeans and Arabs put together.  How did it happen? The black slaves would be prisoners of war in tribal battles.  According to anthropologists different tribes would trade slaves amongst themselves.  When the Arabs and later the Europeans arrived, this was ramped up.  

Walker then describes Jews as "chief financiers of the sugar and slave trade". And as a follow up asks, ‘what do you think the Jews should do about their contribution to the African Holocaust? What debt do they owe?’. My reply is nothing.  If one group is uniquely held responsible for its very small role then that surely is racist, which is ironic coming from an anti-racism campaigner.  Especially a Jewish one.

Me thinks this woman has self-hate issues and is using her blackness to act them out.  This is prevalent in a small part of the Jewish community especially amongst 'antizionist Jews' who are using the 'plight' of the Palestinians to act out their self hate.

David Ward

Few things depress me in life, but one of them is how nasty people keep rearing their ugly heads in public.  A few weeks ago that just happened.

Former Bradford East Lib Dem MP David Ward was elected as a councillor in Bradford.  During his tenure as MP, he made several horrendous anti-semitic comments about Jews in relation to Israel Palestine conflict, including the one below on Sky news.

He was then suspended from the Lib Dem whip and followed it up with this little titbit that compared the Palestinian situation to the holocaust

Ward lost his seat in the 2015 general election but now despite all of this the citizens in a part of Bradford have elected him as a councillor.  In the midst of the Labour antisemitism scandal, Nigel Farage said that Labour antisemitism was to do with Labour appealing for Muslim votes due to the institutional antisemitism in the Muslim community.  It seems that this appeal to a very low common demoninator is happening in the Lib Dems and in the left generally.

Naz Shah

I just found this little upload from Youtube

Its about that nasty, smelly, anti-semitic Labour MP Naz Shah, who has resigned from being a parlimentary aide to shadow chancellor John McDonnell. Here Labour front bencher Lisa Nandy MP is taken to task for it, with Liam Fox MP adding a few titbits. A couple of telling comments.

1. Nandy says that the majority of Labour members are not antisemitic.  That's ok then, so it means a minority are.  So when will Labour do something about them?
2. Naz Shah said she did not agree with some of the racist images and posts that she shared.  So why did she share them then? She's either too thick or thinks the public is too thick.
3. Liam Fox makes a very telling point, its not only the images and posts that you share but also the underlying sentiment behind it.  This suggests that Shah strongly believed in antisemitism. 

So another Labour member has been rumbled for anti-semitism, in other news, scientists discover that doing push ups is good for your biceps.

Labour party and anti-semitism

Last week the UK Labour party under Jez Corbyn re-admitted a self-hating anti-semite Jew Tony Greenstein back in its ranks.  Greenstein portrays himself as an 'anti-zionist' Jew and is indeed a son of a rabbi. In this article, he derides his critics as 'zionist scum' and once mentioned to a critic that if a group of White house staff or evangelical christians were vaporized, he would not lose any sleep, charming!  This comes in the wake of the Labour councillor Vicky Kirkby's Jews have big noses scandal.

For me this is nothing new, Hitler himself was partially jewish and the question to ask is, why do some Jews hate themselves for being Jews so much?  As for Labour and anti-semitism, I think this goes back to 1990's. When the USSR fell the left needed new holes to felch from, anti-semitism in the form of antizionism is one of these holes.
