Anti-Semitism

I would expect nothing less from that guy, to tell the truth. He's been nothing but bad for Iran and it's people.

Anonymous X said "most self-declared anti racist activists in Britain," which is different from your characterization of that as "most people in Britain."

And that claim was in response to a report outlining problems with at least 4 self-declared antiracist activists in one fairly well-known group. To that list we can add George Galloway, Ken Loach, the painter of the New World Order mural and all of his supporters, the people who blamed Jews for the poor immigrants burned in the Grenfell tower fire, etc. "Corbyn was framed!" is a common attitude among the UK Left.

The premise of Jews Don’t Count is that antisemitism is too often glossed over – blanked out – by just those progressives who would usually rush to support any beleaguered minority group. The bo...

Labour opens inquiry into antisemitism allegations at Oxford student club

Decision by university’s Labour society to support Israeli Apartheid Week prompts MPs to call for party to sever ties with club

Thank you for the clarification and information. However, I feel none of those links back-up the claim that "most self-declared anti-racist activists in Britain" are "antisemites who [don't] believe antisemitism to be a form of racism, mostly likely because they don’t consider Jews to be actual people."

I can, however, see some correlation between Corbyn, his supporters and anti-semitism. I can also see that they represent far-left, "progressive" and/or anti-racist views too.

My (admittedly short and shallow) research found that the UK does seem to have a problem with anti-semitism, but that there was no evidence this was carried-out by any self-proclaimed anti-racists (or if they did, any reports of large numbers, alluding to the adjective "most":

- https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/feb/10/anti-jewish-hate-incidents-hit-record-high-in-uk

"...Nearly half of people in the UK have antisemitic views, according to a poll. Forty-five per cent of British adults agreed with at least one of six antisemitic tropes put to them by researchers at YouGov and King’s College London...

...But the proportion of British adults harbouring antisemitic opinions has been steadily dropping for years, a trend which continued in the latest survey. The proportion of British Jews who feel they have a future in the UK also rose from 53 to 66 per cent.

However, those who avoid displaying visible signs of their Jewish identity due to fears of antisemitism sits at 44 per cent, the highest figure recorded since 2016..."

How hard is it to just not use that word?

Because (rightly!) that’s going to draw focus away from whatever point you’re attempting to make. Plus the fact THERE’S NO COMPARISON WHATSOEVER.

Berlin police investigate Abbas for incitement to hatred over ’50 holocausts’ remark

Police launch preliminary probe since downplaying the Holocaust is a criminal offense in Germany, but Abbas would be immune from prosecution

www.timesofisrael.com

Berlin police have opened a preliminary investigation against Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas over his comments this week that Israel has committed “50 holocausts” against Palestinians. The remarks, during a news conference in Berlin alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, sparked outrage in Germany, Israel and beyond. Police confirmed a report Friday by German daily Bild that Abbas was being investigated for possible incitement to hatred after receiving a formal criminal complaint. Downplaying the Holocaust is a criminal offense in Germany, but the opening of a preliminary inquiry doesn’t automatically entail a full investigation. Germany’s Foreign Ministry said that Abbas — as a representative of the Palestinian Authority — would enjoy immunity from prosecution because he was visiting the country in an official capacity.

It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book. What bizarre word combinations will be on the next page?

If Israel really had committed 50 holocausts against the Palestinians would there even be any Palestinians left? Just ONE holocaust drastically reduced the European Jewish population after all.

University of Denver professor suggests there are two likely reasons for the stabbing of Salman Rushdie, and he considers the most-likely a Mossad plot to derail a renewed Iranian nuclear deal.

Link

The stabbing of novelist Salman Rushdie last week may have been orchestrated by the Mossad, suggested Nader Hashemi, Director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Denver, in a Saturday interview with Negar Mortazavi, host of the Iran Podcast.

"The other possibility, which I actually think is much more likely, is that this young kid Hadi Matar was in communication with someone online who claimed to be an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps member or supporter and lured him into attacking Salman Rushdie and that so-called person online claiming to be affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran could've been a Mossad operative."

 

[Wheelimus]

Sickening. Rushdie has faced a fatwa on his head since the late 80's. Mossad had nothing to do with this, it was the price on his head finally catching up to him.

This idiot should be fired.

For hug's sake seriously? Mossad? Please.

Hey look, another "antiracist":

Canadian minister denounces diversity consultant for antisemitic tweets

A cabinet minister asked a government-funded group how it could hire Laith Marouf given his history on social media.

forward.com

Canada’s diversity minister denounced antisemitic tweets from a senior consultant on Monday and withdrew a six-figure grant from a government-funded project on which the consultant had been working.

Diversity Minister Ahmed Hussen accused the consultant, Beirut-based Laith Marouf, of “unacceptable behavior” and said the Community Media Advocacy Centre, where Marouf was helping to develop an anti-racism strategy for Canadian broadcasters, will forfeit about $103,000 (U.S).

One of Marouf’s tweets, posted to an account that is now private, read: “You know all those loud mouthed bags of human feces, aka the Jewish White Supremacists; when we liberate Palestine and they have to go back to where they come from, they will return to being low voiced bitches of [their] Christian/Secular White Supremacist Masters.”

Stephen Ellis, Marouf’s lawyer, told the CBC that his client’s tweet was about Jewish white supremacists as opposed to Jewish people in general.

In statement posted to Twitter about Marouf’s tweets, Hussen wrote that “antisemitism has no place in this county” and that he has asked CMAC how it came to hire Marouf for an anti-racism project, and “how they plan on rectifying the situation given his antisemitic and xenophobic comments.”

According to Marouf’s website, he is a journalist who regularly appears on the broadcast news networks Radio Sputnik, Press TV, and Al Mayadeen. He has a long history of antisemitic and xenophobic tweeting. Although his current Twitter account is now private, he previously had an account suspended for violating community guidelines, according to The Guardian, and once dubbed former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell “the Jamaican house-slave of the Empire” and celebrated his death from COVID-19.

There will always be grifters who know how to package their own unrelated causes - and their hate - in the popular, hiring- and press-friendly jargon of the time. ANYONE can write about themselves as being a marginalized whatsit helping to decolonize systems of blahblah and, of course, punching up.

Can someone explain what just happened...?

So, as I understand it, the head of the Anti-Defamation League is an Elon Musk fan, and a booster of Musk's on-again, off-again offer to buy Twitter.
In the above interview, in praising Musk's innovations, he compared Musk to Henry Ford.

That seems... an interesting take, all things considered.
