Here follows a thread on why @J_VoiceUK are disingenuous and dangerous. They pretend to fight #antisemitism via a new form of victim-blaming. #DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough #LabourAntisemitism
They don’t outright accuse victims of #LabourAntisemitism of lying, but instead point a finger at their protectors, flashing their Jewish credentials to look credible.
#DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough
“It’s the Tories!” They cry. “It’s the press!” “Manufactured consent!” “Of course”, they say, “there’s an eeny-weeny bit of antisemitism in @UKLabour”.
#DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough #LabourAntisemitism
“Don’t say anything antisemitic”, they advise, sagely. “It might make you look antisemitic, even though we know it’s just you losing your temper about, well, you know – the Jews”. #DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough #LabourAntisemitism
“It was only one comment”, they breezily agree about @jeremycorbyn, minimising for all they’re worth. And calling even that one out was all just to “promote neo-liberal policies and support illegal wars”. #DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough #LabourAntisemitism
Just to look extra kosher though, they slip in a bit about not particularly liking being made “Israel’s keepers”. #DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough #LabourAntisemitism
Does that mean that they are willing to call out the 1000s of @UKLabour members who have been reported for just such #antisemitism under @jeremycorbyn? No. #DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough #LabourAntisemitism
In fact, the name of the game is to point at the Tories and the press, while claiming that #LabourAntisemitism is being dealt with. We call this gross distortion and gaslighting. #DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough #LabourAntisemitism
You might think after all this that the majority of British Jews must be lying when they say they are the victims of #LabourAntisemitism, mightn’t you? To make this accusation is #antisemitic according to the IHRA definition. #DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough
Do not fall for any of it. @J_VoiceLabour are part of the problem. We ask you to be part of the solution. #DeniersOut #EnoughIsEnough #LabourAntisemitism

.@jeremycorbyn has repeatedly attempted to reassure those concerned about #LabourAntisemitism that @UKLabour’s disciplinary process would deal with the problem.
This revelation suggests that claim was a lie. The disciplinary process appears only in place to protect racists.
1/5
Mr Corbyn should be subject to the same procedure as every other member.
The report we submitted contained 21 separate instances that we felt justified investigation, including Mr Corbyn’s honouring of the Munich terrorists...
2/5
and his ‘British Zionists don’t understand English irony’ comments.
A source who previously worked in Labour’s compliance unit told us that under any other circumstances that body of evidence would lead to suspension and investigation.

BREAKING NEWs>>>
Labour high command has been accused of letting off allies of Jeremy Corbyn accused of anti-semitism by claiming that leading activists in the firing line are not even members of the party.

 #LabourAntisemitism
@UKLabour @jeremycorbyn
thetimes.co.uk/article/5ea690…
LAAS has reported more than 1,200 accusations of anti-semitic abuse by suspected members over the past two years. In several cases those with close links to the leadership have been exonerated because party bosses claim they cannot find evidence that they are party members.
2/5
Euan Philipps, a LAAS spokesman, said:
“It is deeply troubling that the Labour Party appears to routinely reject complaints against members on the grounds that they cannot locate their membership information.

BREAKING>> Ken Livingstone Resigns from Labour Party
Labour Against Antisemitism welcomes the resignation of Ken Livingstone. The Labour Party will doubtlessly be a better place without Mr Livingstone’s membership.
(THREAD)
#LabourAntisemitism @UKLabour @jeremycorbyn
However, his abrupt departure today should not obscure a number of issues:
2/6
Firstly, that he should have been expelled many months ago for comments that were deeply offensive and inaccurate, and the culmination of a lifetime spent making publicly problematic statements that many in the Jewish community found distressing.

Statement on the Israeli Labour Party severing ties with the leader of the UK Labour Party:
The announcement by the Israeli Labour Party that it is severing ties with the leader of @UKLabour, Jeremy Corbyn, is unprecedented, shocking but unsurprising.
Thread
1/5
An undeniable schism has opened between the UK Labour Party leadership and the Israeli Labour leadership, which reflects the breakdown of the UK Labour Party’s relationship with both the British Jewish community and its counterparts overseas.
2/5
Labour Against Antisemitism would like to offer our thanks to the Israeli Labour Party for their solidarity and support at this time. We appreciate that the decision must have been a very hard one.

Statement from Labour Against Antisemitism:
NEC failures must lead to further resignations.
Thread
1/7
The leaked minutes of an NEC meeting from last month are evidence of a Labour NEC that is fundamentally unable to tackle racial discrimination within the Labour Party. theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
2/7
Labour Against Antisemitism has been reporting anti-Jewish racism for 18 months, assuming the party and the disputes panel would take it seriously. We have submitted reports on over 1,000 members since September 2016.

BREAKING>>>>
Statement from Labour Against Antisemitism:
Jeremy Corbyn Must Show He Is Listening to Community Representatives, Not Just Minority Factions
Thread
1/7
 theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
Jeremy Corbyn has yet again shown misjudgement in meeting with Jewdas, the radical minority group. It has been received as a provocative action, that appears to be cynically engineered to create division within the Jewish community.
2/7
While it is welcome that Mr Corbyn wishes to engage with the Jewish community, he needs to speak with representatives of that community, not minority factions with little or no mandate to speak on the community’s behalf.
