Under cover of fear for MPs’ safety, Labour leader Keir Starmer has helped the ruling Tories paint as villains anyone opposed to Israel’s slaughter of children
The word antisemitism has lost its meaning, last time I looked at the definition it meant "hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group"
No one is attacking Jewish people for their race, religion or enthic. We are calling out Israel and those who are support/aiding their atrocities, the war crimes, genocide and enthic cleansing of Palestine. There's a massive difference and it makes them look like morons!
The are villains, in that they’re supporters of the worst cause in the world, genocidal Palestinian nationalism. And by the way, the death and destruction in Gaza is down to Hamas, not Israel.
Thank you so much for writing this. I really want to share this essay far and wide, and I have a request. Would you be willing to change 'deaf' to another word or phrase? I feel concerned about how this will land in the deaf community, and in an article that speaks truth to tyranny, I feel sad to stumble upon some (undoubtedly) accidental ableism. Thank you.
A superbly written article, Jonathan. Well done 👏🏼
Makes me sick to my stomach how these corrupt politicians behave and how they can get away with it. I’m counting on the police to ignore their machinations to silence criticism of their brown nosing of the Israeli lobby.
There must be a permanent ceasefire in Gaza in order to comply with the ICJ ruling. Not with Palestinians suffering under oppressive conditions, but as a place where all live with peace and equality. It is time for Pope Francis to do more than talk. He must go to Gaza and make a stand for peace and freedom.
Let us also support UNRWA. If our governments won’t act in accordance with humanity, then we will. https://www.unrwausa.org/donate Let us do it to honor Aaron Bushnell, or in memory of Hind Rajab.
Let us call for a No Fly-Zone over Gaza!
These are a few small things we can do. If we can do more, let us do more.
This was all echoed recently by the PM's and media response to George Galloway's stunning by-election victory - the interview by Sam Coates from Sky is especially worth a look [if not censored] - also remember that Galloway himself [whilst an MP] was savagely attacked by a Zionist wearing an IDF T shirt back in 2014 - there was no outcry from MPs then??!
Always found James O’Brien interesting when it came to Corbyn. He’s famous for his “that’s not opinion it’s just counting” but at the mere mention of Labours then leader he forgot how to count and piled in too. He lives rent free in his head even now.
The success of the various Zionist lobbies in capturing all sides of the political establishment is coming to its logical conclusion. Eventually, all roads must lead to Tel Aviv/Jerusalem and all other concerns must give way to supporting Israel regardless of its crimes. Anyone objecting can expect to be smeared as an antisemitism, even if he, like me, stands shoulder to shoulder with all Jews against antisemitism. Conflating antisemitism and antizionism protects no-one, except Zionist criminals.
Hopefully, independent candidates will be on every ballot paper throughout the uk, opposing Sunarmer threats to every citizen with a conscience, calling their accusations out for what they are - gaslighting, where every accusation is in fact a confession of past, present and future acts.
Thanks for another illuminating, clearly written article. The axis of evil (UK, US, Germany and Israel) are outdoing each other in clownish lies and manipulations. Truly the Four Horsemen of the Kakistocratic Apocalypse. All 4 governments must be overthrown...yesterday.
This weapon is more deadly than nuclear bombs or so it seems. The public has woken up to the fact that weaponised antisemitism is in fact just that--a weapon--and isn't a reflection of reality at all. I predict Corbyn will rise again and take out Starmer, but as a Labour MP or a Green or another new party, that's anyone's guess.
I wouldn't blame him after the horrendous treatment he was given by his fellow party members and the mainstream media. But I hope he or someone like him will rise up and take over soon.
They are Evil, wicked and far from blind. They know whom they serve and it isn’t the electorate who are there to be manipulated, diverted, and taxed and fined to death!

Whenever Jonathan Cook appears absent or silent, I know he is actually crafting another masterpiece.
There must be a permanent ceasefire in Gaza in order to comply with the ICJ ruling. Not with Palestinians suffering under oppressive conditions, but as a place where all live with peace and equality. It is time for Pope Francis to do more than talk. He must go to Gaza and make a stand for peace and freedom.

What does Prof Richard Dawkins has to say about Israeli killing of Palestinians, in the guise of killing Hamas fighters?
Oooooh the truth 🎯

Erosion of rights, freedom and civil liberties.
All part of the long term goal of total subjugation by the state.
Little by little, sure but steady.

"Weaponised antisemitism"
This weapon is more deadly than nuclear bombs or so it seems. The public has woken up to the fact that weaponised antisemitism is in fact just that--a weapon--and isn't a reflection of reality at all.

Not sure Corbyn will want to go there again!
I wouldn't blame him after the horrendous treatment he was given by his fellow party members and the mainstream media. But I hope he or someone like him will rise up and take over soon.
Me too............so sick of their pettiness.
Our rulers are ideologically blind or evil - take your pick
They are Evil, wicked and far from blind. They know whom they serve and it isn’t the electorate who are there to be manipulated, diverted, and taxed and fined to death!
I'll go with "blindly evil." They just blindly do whatever evil they want and feel they can get away with.
