The Jewish Labour Movement – Hardly Jewish, Not Really Labour

A few days ago the Jewish Labour Movement raised their heads again to have another pop at spreading the anti-Semitism smears. Despite all the glowing publicity they’ve been given and their constant assertions that they, and only they, represent Jews in the Labour party, the truth is the complete opposite. They don’t really represent Labour’s Jews. They’re not even really representative of the Labour party, and shouldn’t really be affiliated with it. But they do represent aggressive ultra-Zionism.

Let’s start with their membership. They are hardly a mass organisation. They’ve got at most 200 members, though it’s probably that the active membership is probably less than that. You don’t have to be Jewish to join. As a result, it’s been estimated that about 2/3 of their members are as Jewish as myself. You also don’t have to be a member of the Labour party, and some of them definitely aren’t, like arch-Conservative and Zionist activist Jonathan Hoffman.

The organisation is basically just Paole Zion – the old Zionist Jewish organisation refounded. This was moribund until 2012, when it suddenly received a massive injection of cash. The project to found the JLM was started in a coffee shop in Golders Green by a Zionist activist, who wanted to do so in order to protect Israel from criticism from Labour after the public outrage against the bombardment of Gaza. It’s a Zionist entryist organisation, which somehow claims that it represents all of Labour’s Jews, rather than a very small number.

There are other Jewish organisations that back Corbyn. Jewish Voice for Labour, Jewdas – with whom the Labour leader spent a Passove Seder the other year, to the outrage of the Board of Deputies. and the Jewish Socialist Group. But none of these are going to be interviewed by the Conservative, lamestream media, because they refute the story the media wants to push that Labour is institutionally anti-Semitic. Just like the media does not want to print the letters Corbyn has received from supportive rabbis and Haredi Jews, who appreciate the efforts he has put in on behalf of Britain’s Jewish community.

Corbyn isn’t an anti-Semite. The Jewish Labour Movement is almost a complete contradiction in terms. It is completely unrepresentative of the Labour party and its Jewish members. The media is lying to you to keep Corbyn out by any means possible.

Ignore the lies and smears. Corbyn is fighting for a country that works for all its people, whether they’re Jewish, non-Jewish, Black, White, Asia, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist or whatever. The Tories are only fighting for themselves and their extremely rich corporate donors and bosses.

Vote for Corbyn and genuine anti-racism.
