Jeremy Corbyn IS an Antisemite

Few seem to have noticed that on April 5th, 2016, Jeremy Corbyn crossed the line from antisemitism groupie to full-blown antisemite.

‘My Mother was at Cable Street’

With regard to antisemitism, the charge sheet against Jeremy Corbyn to date merely includes: One hundred percent tolerance of genocidal antisemites and their antisemitism; canoodling with blood libellers, Holocaust deniers and 9/11 Truthers; selective criticism of the diverse selection of vile antisemitic regimes according to their ‘anti-imperialist’ credentials; taking £20,000 to appear on the propaganda TV arm of a state whose official policy is Holocaust denial and which endorses the eradication of the Jewish State; failing to discipline a Labour MP who publicly stated that ‘Jewish money’ controls the Government; protesting the removal of an overtly antisemitic mural so noxious that even the corrupt mayor Rahman urged it be taken down; calling banned organisations that officially advocate the slaughter of Jews — anywhere anytime — ‘Friends’ ; choking on the word ‘Israel’; and promoting & building campaigning movements whose aims feature an obsession with denying the Jewish people the right to self-determination, a Human Right he seems mightily keen on for everyone else.

Still, it could never be said outright that he was the perp: he was the enabler, the supporter, the architect, and, in the case of Raed Saleh - the convicted blood-libeller previously jailed for funding Hamas - a fan so awestruck that he felt compelled to honour him with tea on the terrace of the Mother of Parliaments, because ‘he deserves it’. (Look, Jews bake Matzah from the blood of babies they slaughter. It’s been going on since we English got onto it in 1142. What’s the big deal? … )
 
So let us pass-over that, notwithstanding that the very same people he embraced were also hell-bent on murdering Englishmen, gays, unbelievers various and like a bit of FGM … and the fact that, if it were a Tory leader with such powerfully genocidal associations, he would be jeered off, not least for lack of that uniquely leftist Virtue Force Field™.

No, let us let bygones go bye, like some vicious bouncer passing down leg side. Instead, let us see how the Man adjusted from long-off outfielder to Captain of the first XI. As he went out to open the batting, Jewish community leaders’ voices were united: “Now you are leader, oh Jeremy, please publicly dissociate yourself from this ordure!”. For surely Jezza would realise that with leadership comes a responsibility to wider society that activists do not bear?

But like another (Pharaonic) leader who’d been petitioned by the Children of Israel, he told them to bugger off. This laddie’s not for turning. Five long months later, the Board of Deputies of British Jews, having set the distancing of his former self from some hoped-for shiny new self as the ‘acid test’, met with him again … and he said, well: bugger off.

As an act of mal-intent - of malice by inaction - that beckoned the blade’s descent from elsewhere, that promoted and emboldened the fanatics of the fringes and the stupidest of students, it has no precedent in post-war UK politics.

The woodwork mightily squeaked, and out came the freaks — closely followed by a wave of our children, who, sipping hungrily at the honey of ‘Fighting Injustice’, have swallowed a hive-full of hate.

We’ve all seen that play out in the media: but, like a Mafia Don, the man’s hands were still clean, and he washed them every day. In interviews, he shook his head and roared with indignation when challenged on the very racism he had helped unleash by proxy. Wiser heads had warned and predicted with some accuracy that this would happen, but the seeds were unrepentantly sown, and the crop was now ready for harvest. We’ve seen that Oxford Labour students — the political cream of our Left-ward youth, no less — proclaimed Auschwitz a ‘Cash Cow’ & gloried in the Jewish dead of Paris. Labour councillors said Hitler was just great. Others said Israel created ISIS. That Jews have big noses. Control the banks. Kill babies. Are the new Nazis. Did 9/11. Complete your I-Spy book of old & newly re-packaged antisemitic tropes! — a visit to the Labour Party online forums? You could tick ’em all off. New Jew-hate stories in Labour & the student Left now arrive with such predictable regularity, that this author can confirm the press are no longer interested in Labour antisemites, unless they are of senior rank. Our party of Social Justice labours daily to a soundtrack of low-grade antisemitism, which only those in it, habituated, are deaf to. And over that buzz of bubbling hate, they can hear their leader yelling: ‘How very dare you?!’

For this is how he finally set himself up. Jewish MP Louise Ellman complained of Jew-hate she had herself suffered in the Party, saying that more than just words were now needed. Piers Corbyn, Jeremy’s brother, said “rubbish” (yes, I got that verbatim) – and when he went on to explain that Jewish complaints about antisemitism are in reality those of “Zionists [who] can’t cope with anyone supporting rights for Palestine” his brother, Jeremy, resolutely backed him. He said “he’s not wrong … we actually and fundamentally agree”.

And in that moment, on April 5th, he finally fell.

Did you not notice?

For he characterised the complaints of acknowledged representatives of the Jewish Community as an impossible attack on impeccable virtue. Their complaint, as it was patently untrue, must be a lie. So then: What is The Jew up to? He surely has other motives, other loyalties … The impossibility of truth in what The Jew says, means that His complaint of antisemitism comes from a dirty well, is a plot, a conspiracy to attack. The Jew, then, is a danger. 
 
When further pressed, he produced in his defence a holy relic: ‘My Mother was at Cable Street’. Mum! Protect me from the bogeyman & The Jew; the Jew that pleads victimhood but whose dissembling is a mask for political assassination. Look Ma, they’re after me! The diverse Jewish Communities? No, The Jew — that monolithic bloc of singular conspiratorial intent that casts down leaders & replaces them with those more pliant to His will.

That Jew, who impugns my Virtue and, with His sin, seeks to make me as unclean as He. 
 
(Sounds histrionic, does it? Thanks, but us Jews got the book, the T-shirt and the Blu-ray DVD. This is what antisemitism really looks like, as it played out for our parents, their parents, and their parents before them. It starts after an economic crisis, led top-down by populist politicians, until it finally manifests on the streets in violence … )
 
Jeremy’s smarter but scarcely less guilty mate, McDonnell, appeared on Andrew Marr’s show days later to state that it is the victims of racism that must be allowed to define it (as indeed MacPherson insisted in his report on Stephen Lawrence) and that they would be ‘listening to the Board of Deputies’. But Jez never has, hasn’t now & never will. 
 
The 250 year-old venerable and conservative Board of Deputies were humiliated. In the 21st century, for a minority group — the Jews, of all peoples — to have to repeatedly entreat with a political leader to renounce such racism is beyond comprehension. To be slapped around once again, while prostrate, is degrading to the oppressor also. Labour’s name is mud.
 
Those genteel Deputies, ever mindful of frightening the horses, responded to Corbyn’s latest rebuttal of their pleading, and the concomitant confirmation of the Jewish community’s worst fears, by describing his response as ‘Deeply disturbing’. 
 
Let me translate for you: Jeremy Corbyn is guilty of executing a textbook antisemitic trope. The conclusion then, surely, is that Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite.
