Hooray! Anti-Racist Jew Wins Battle against Labour Witch Hunters

This is a really encouraging little video from the left-wing YouTube channel, Not The Andrew Marr Show. The Show’s presenters talk to Diana Neslen, who was accused of anti-Semitism by the usual Zionist fanatics. Her horrendous crime was posting the comment on Twitter in 2017 ‘The existence of Israel is a racist endeavour and I’m an anti-racist Jew’. This contravenes the I.H.R.A. definition of anti-Semitism that the Israel lobby and what sees itself as the Establishment of the British Jewish community, the Chief Rabbinate and the Board of Deputies, so desperately wished to foist on the Labour party. Neslen was suspended from the Labour party and told she was under investigation.

But when the going gets tough, the tough get going, and Mrs Neslen decided that she was going to stand up to the bullies. So she sent them a message telling them she was going to take the matter to court. Suddenly the Labour party told her that they were going to drop the accusation and investigation. She explains in the video that she thinks that Labour were desperately worried about such a case because it would be a formal test of the definition. Yes, it would. And I don’t doubt that the definition would be found wanting. Three legal experts, including the former Judge Sedley, a former Scottish appeals court judge, who is also Jewish, have come out and criticised the I.H.R.A. as muddled and too complicated. In their opinion the best definition of anti-Semitism is the simplest. This is along the lines of ‘a certain attitude to Jews, which hates them simply as Jews’. Which was the definition and attitude of the wretched League of Anti-Semites, founded by Wilhelm Marr in Germany in the 19th century, and which first coined the word. The I.H.R.A. has been adopted by a range of organisations despite its manifest faults. It has been criticised by one of the people who devised it, Kenneth Starr, a Zionist and Jewish American, because it chills debate on Israel. This is not what it was intended to do. It was intended simply as a guide to allow official agencies to gather judge what may or may not have been an anti-Semitic incident. But it’s been adopted by the Israel lobby because it does chill debate about Israel.

Neslen states that part of the witch hunt against critics of Israel comes from a fact-finding visit to Britain conducted by an Israeli organisation, Rayyut (sp?). This outfit decided that there was a ‘red-green alliance’ to denigrate Israel, and decided to split it up. Left-wingers were to be divided into two groups according to their attitude to Israel. On the one hand there would be those, who supported the two-state solution. These would be permitted to remain active. However, anti-Zionists were to become totally unacceptable and silenced. And the Israel lobby does that by deliberately conflating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism to smear the critics of the country and its vile ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.

This is what they tried to do with Neslen, and then got the fright of their squalid lives when she refused to back down. This shows that sometimes, just sometimes, the good guys win. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to do this. The immense cost of bring an action is one obstacle. Another is that the Labour is very slippery when it comes to its laws. Mike lost his case against them for breach of contract because, although the smears and leaks against him were a breach of the party rules, the party rules aren’t binding and were in the process of revision. How convenient! That shows you how two-faced and treacherous the party bureaucracy is. And that bureaucracy is massively anti-Semitic. Four out of five of the people accused of anti-Semitism are Jewish. This surely proves that the very accusation is utter nonsense, even if it is couched in specious rhetoric about how these people are ‘self-hating’.

But even with these obstacles, it’s great that Diana Neslen won, and I hope that there will be many more victories like hers.
