For years, counter-jihadists have been defamed with claims that we are neo-Nazis and racists. Now we are seeing who the real neo-Nazis are, and they’re on the British Left.
“Ex-BNP chief Nick Griffin praises Corbyn over slur on ‘British Zionists’ as Labour leader’s ally McDonnell claims he was only trying to ‘secure peace,'” by James Tapsfield, Mailonline, August 24, 2018:
Jeremy Corbyn has been praised by former BNP leader Nick Griffin as he desperately struggles to contain another anti-Semitism row today.
Mr Corbyn was hit with a wave of condemnation after MailOnline revealed he had complained at a 2013 meeting that British Zionists ‘don’t understand English irony’.
Labour MP Luciana Berger branded the jibe ‘inexcusable’ and said it made her feel ‘unwelcome in my own party’.
But he has received support from an unwanted quarter in the form of a tweet from Mr Griffin. The far-right activist wrote: ‘Go Jezza! I wonder how many Labour activists the hysterical #Zionist media campaign against Corbyn is re-pilling (sic)?’
Labour MP Wes Streeting said the endorsement was ‘sickening’. ‘All the wrong people are cheering,’ he said.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell was deployed in a bid to defuse the growing row, saying Mr Corbyn had been taken ‘out of context’.
Just a little something he picked up from Britain’s Islamic supremacist spokesmen.
He suggested the veteran left-winger’s remarks were part of his efforts to ‘secure peace’.
In footage from the 2013 conference, Mr Corbyn says: ‘[British Zionists] clearly have two problems: one is they don’t want to study history and, secondly, having lived in this country for a very long time, probably all their lives, they don’t understand English irony either.’
Labour MP Luciana Berger said the video contained ‘inexcusable comments’ which made her feel ‘unwelcome in my own party’.
She wrote on Twitter: ‘The video released today of the leader of @UKLabour making inexcusable comments – defended by a party spokesman – makes me as a proud British Jew feel unwelcome in my own party.
‘I’ve lived in Britain all my life and I don’t need any lessons in history/irony.’
But Mr McDonnell told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘I think this has all been taken out of context: whatever Jeremy has said throughout the years has always been about how to secure peace, particularly within the Middle East and also peace with justice for all concerned – both members of the Jewish community and also members of the Palestinian community.’
‘In that context Jeremy has devoted his life, so I think this would take expressions out of context in that way are not helping.’
Ms Berger received support from fellow Labour backbenchers, with Newcastle North MP Catherine McKinnell tweeting: ‘Standing right with you @lucianaberger.’
Sedgefield MP Phil Wilson wrote: ‘Right beside you @lucianaberger.’
The Labour leader has been under massive pressure over the wave of vile anti-Semitism that has been wracking Labour, and the party’s refusal to adopt the international definition of the abuse.
Corbyn hailed by ex-KKK leader for attack on mediaJeremy Corbyn has been praised by a former Ku Klux Klan leader for his attack on the media.
The Labour leader took to Twitter last night to spell out his determination to ‘break the stranglehold of elite power and billionaire domination over large parts of our media’.
The messages were posted after he delivered a speech proposing a nationalised ‘British Digital Corporation’ to take on Facebook and Netflix – and urged ‘enforced shareholder dilution’ with the public getting a stake in big publishers.
The proposals were condemned by critics as ‘sinister’ and a ‘wholesale plan for more state control’. Tory chairman Brandon Lewis said Mr Corbyn wanted to avoid ‘legimitate scrutiny’ and Labour former head of press Jo Green questioned his ‘motivation’.
But David Duke, a former Grand Dragon of the white supremacist KKK, retweeted Mr Corbyn saying: ‘He’s right, you know.’
He has also come under fire over contacts with Palestinian extremists.
A spokeswoman for Mr Corbyn said: ‘Jeremy is totally opposed to all forms of anti-Semitism and is determined to drive it out from society….
Yeah, sure. And I’m in line to be the next President of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

It is a shame that both parties seem more concerned about their hatred of others than embrace their LOVE of Great Brittan and their own cultures in it!

This has been my nightmare that I knew would come….when parts of the far right join with the far left in “Jew Hatred”. Everything is a circle. when you go too far around one way you end up on the other side. But this is the achilles heel of both. USA cannot allow this persecution. Thats where the fight to get it to STOP begins. Do people know that Islamist fought with Hitlers troops? Do people know that Germany made special segregated training camps for SS Muslims. The Mufti of Jerusalem fought with Hitler after Brits kicked him out of the country when Israel first was legally named a State. Only Saudis & some Egyptians fought with Brits/France/Russia to get the Ottoman out so that, as they planned, Saudi/Egypt would get more land. That was the only reason. Islam fought with Nazitroops because of the born and bred Taught hatred. Thats why I say USA can not afford any Anti Freedom groups like Naziorgs, KKKlan. ISLAM and White Supremacists. That is not what USA is. We should not be afraid to Say so and as a matter of fact, we will Have to. Jews in our country are our key to eliminate what has become accepted racism, persecutions Etc. Persecution of Judaism and the SuperSupremacy of Islam is exactly what Islam is. Their goal is to take over all Abrahams history. We cannot have this here. Not in America. (but then neither Nazigroups KKKlan or White supremacists) Please do not take offense. This is the way out of this nightmare.

So true. Corbyn is a nasty piece of work; I hope Britons realize this.

I think the spokesman you refer to in the article is probably not John McDonnell but rather John McDonald but the rest of the sorry article is correct.

When I point this out online I get told by antisemites that the Jews or the Israelis are Nazis.
