J’Accuse – My response to those who make false accusations of witchcraft or ‘anti-Semitism’
This Sunday the long
delayed hearing will take place into the accusations against me before Labour’s
National Constitutional Committee. The witch-hunters
tried to rush it through quickly on December 11th, giving me just 4
weeks to prepare after a suspension lasting 20 months.

There will be a picket outside the hearing at the Metropole Hotel in Brighton at 9.45 a.m. All welcome!
I was forced on 7th
December to go to the High Court in order to obtain
an Injunction preventing this travesty of justice. The Judge, Sir Stephen Phillips, agreed with
me that the actions of the Labour Party were indefensible, However it is the same Panel that refused to grant
me an extension of time that will be hearing my case. It would be expecting too much that this same
Panel will be prepared to put out of their minds the prejudice and bias that led
them into their earlier error of judgment.

I have been refused
the names of the Panel and indeed the names of my accusers. However one of them is clearly the Jewish
Labour Movement, the British wing of the racist Israeli Labour Party. It is somewhat ironic that I am suspended at
the behest of Jeremy Newmark, the then Chair of the JLM, who has been
accused of stealing thousands of pounds from a Jewish charity. In a letter to me last week Iain McNicol, the
crooked General Secretary of the Labour Party refused
to suspend Newmark. It was a ‘private matter’ and anyway he ‘strongly
denied’ the charges despite an internal audit which Newmark never challenged saying
otherwise.

On 13th January 1898
Emile Zola, the French journalist, novelist and playwright, wrote a famous
article J’Accuse. It was addressed to the President of France,
Félix Faure. It accused the War Office and the Army, who had framed and
imprisoned the Jewish officer, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, of anti-Semitism,
forgery and perverting the course of justice. That is my response, in no
particular order, to the false accusations of anti-Semitism made by McNicol’s pathetic
Torquemadas.

This paper is not written because I

innocence. There is a higher likelihood
of snow falling in the middle of the Saharan summer than my being acquitted.

I am perhaps lucky that the malevolent
and pliant instruments of Iain McNicol, Labour’s crooked General Secretary, do
not have the power of physical coercion and that I do not have to flee abroad
as Zola was forced to do after publishing J’Accuse.

So far this affair has been
conducted in secret. Not only are the names of those who conducted the
investigation secret, but so are the members of the panel which will hear me. My
accusers too have also been granted the right of anonymity. Even in Hitler’s
People’s Court, the name of the Presiding Judge Roland Freisler was public
knowledge. Transparency is not a feature
of McNicol’s NKC.

There is as much truth in the false
charge of ‘anti-Semitism’ against me as there was in the accusation of treason
against Dreyfus. My purpose in writing this submission is the same as that of
Zola. To quote the final paragraph
of J’Accuse.:

I am not accused of ‘anti-Semitism’
because anyone seriously believes I hate Jews as Jews, which is the only
definition that matters. After all I have spent a lifetime fighting real
anti-Semites and fascists, whereas the only thing my accusers have fought for
is a good seat in a restaurant or a higher place in the pecking order

I am accused of ‘anti-Semitism for

themselves Jewish. This is an accusation

The effect
of false accusations of anti-Semitism is to render people immune to genuine
anti-Semites. It is the ‘boy cried wolf’ syndrome. Zionism has never had any problems with
anti-Semitism since without anti-Semitism there would be no Zionism. There has always been a coincidence of
interest between anti-Semitism and Zionism hence the collaboration between the
Nazi state and the Zionist movement from 1933-39.

False accusations of anti-Semitism
help genuine anti-Semites escape detection and confuse ordinary people because
they assume that it is another false accusation. When the intellectual pygmies
and moral cowards of McNicol’s circus accuse people like me, Marc Wadsworth or
Jackie Walker of ‘anti-Semitism’ what they are really doing is giving a helping
hand to people like Nick Griffin of the BNP or Paul Golding of Britain First (both
pro-Zionist).

Of course the pip squeaks and pen
pushers of Southside, who so carefully compile their dodgy dossiers as if they
were an accountant’s ledger, know nothing of who I am or my political record.
People whose only understanding of racism is gained from an equal opportunities
policy and who have never taken any part in anti-racist work have the audacity
to accuse anti-racist activists like us of ‘anti-Semitism’ when their real
purpose is defending the world’s most racist state.

genuine anti-Semites

| Well known anti-Semite Gilad Atzmon uses the false allegations of anti-Semitism from McNicol’s apparatchiks to excuse his own, indeed to hide his own anti-semitism |
I have already explained why false
accusations of anti-Semitism against people who are anti-racist can only
confuse people as to who the genuine anti-Semites are allowing the latter to
hide behind claims of supporting Palestine.
However it also has another, equally serious effect.

a means of warding off my own criticism of them. In other words McNicol and his

by me when he was caught demonstrating against ‘anti-Semitism’ alongside
Zionists at the Palestine Expo 2017 festival. Besser retaliated by quoting
the Compliance Unit’s accusations of anti-Semitism against me! Unbelievable.

The Israel that the Compliance Unit
defends, to the applause of assorted fascists, is a state where, according to a
survey in Israel’s largest paper Yediot
Aharanot, 75% of Jews refuse to share an apartment block with an Arab and
half believe marriage to an Arab is ‘national treason’ (not a religious sin). A plurality
(48%) of Israelis believe in physically deporting Israeli Arab citizens.

Despite the aversion of McNicol’s lackeys to
daylight, they had no compunction in broadcasting my name across the pages of
The Telegraph and Times (2.4.16.). Just
3 days before charges were proffered further leaks were made to the Jewish
Chronicle (31.10.17.) which predicted that charges were imminent. If that
weren’t enough yet another
leak to the JC (7.12.17.) explained that it was my criticism of Louise
Ellman MP, for her support for the Israeli army’s child abuse which was the ‘tipping point’ in the laying of charges
against me.

I was informed, on November 2nd that my hearing was to take place on

However the Chair of the NCC and whoever

that I was being treated differently, even from other accused persons.

The Secretary to the NCC, Jane Shaw,
was immensely pleased when she informed me that a photograph had been obtained showing
me at Brighton railway station on November 4th waiting for a train to
London in order to go on a Palestine demonstration. Apparently this was conclusive proof that I
was able to reply in time to the charges laid against me.

I was therefore left with no other
option but to apply to the High Court for an Injunction preventing a hearing on

Sir Stephen Phillips found that ‘the Labour Party had dealt brusquely and
without any real reasons’ with my application for an extension of
time. At a cost to Labour Party members
of some £10,000, Justice Phillips granted me an injunction preventing the
holding a hearing until 8th January 2018.

The NCC Guidelines (Appendix 6)
stipulate that no regard should be paid to any injustices prior to the
notification of a hearing date. The Chair insisted on interpreting the
Guidelines as narrowly as possible, regardless of the prejudice to me. Chapter
6(D)(i) of the Rules states that ‘the NCC
is entitled to (and will) act on the
basis that the charges are properly brought.’
There is however a caveat: ‘unless it [a complaint] is material or relevant to the consideration
of the evidence…’

Clearly not having enough time to
respond to the charges against me was relevant to the evidence. In any event Chapter 6(2) states that the
Guidelines ‘do not form part of the
Party’s rules.’ and s.3 stipulates that ‘Inevitably
a degree of flexibility is required to deal with unforeseen circumstances or
unusual cases.’ Chapter 1 Clause IX
stipulates that the NCC ‘shall have the

particular case to ensure fairness to both the individual and the Party.’

It is clear that the Chair of the NCC
in wilfully disregarding my representations displayed bias and prejudice and
disregarded any notion of fairness. I
would therefore request that the Chair recuse themselves and plays no further
part in proceedings.

It speaks volumes that capitalist
justice, the High Court, set aside the Chair’s shoddy reasoning. No doubt the Chair first sought ‘advice’ from
those conducting the investigation. If the person who made the initial ruling
has any integrity they will withdraw of their own accord. However I realise that integrity is not at a
premium amongst Labour’s apparatchiks.

Morgan is a committed supporter of Progress.
He is someone for whom truth and lies have little or no meaning. They are mere expedients. On July 9th 2016 Brighton District
Labour Party held its AGM. Because so
many people, over 600 turned up and the hall that was booked was too small,
there had to be three sittings. Momentum
supported candidates won by over 2-1.
Immediately allegations of foul play, in particular spitting, were made.
They were made primarily
by Warren Morgan. Yet they were untrue.
A dossier compiled by Greg Hadfield proved this beyond any doubt. Greg was subsequently suspended because he
insisted on the truth coming out. Video
footage was subsequently obtained proving that there was no spitting. Katherine
Buckingham, who was appointed by the Disputes Committee to produce an Inquiry
Report refused to even look at the video when she realised that it would
contradict Morgan’s lies. This is
democracy and fairness in the Court of McNicol.

tricks again. This time it was an
allegation that the Labour Party was overrun by ‘anti-Semitism’. He made the headlines with threats that the
Labour conference would not be welcome in Brighton. All Labour Party Branches which have
discussed it have either called on him to resign or apologise or both. Brighton Kemptown CLP has now endorsed these
calls. Morgan’s comments were taken up by Theresa May in Question Time and thus
used against the Labour Party. A clear case of bringing the Party into
disrepute. Morgan stated in his Open
Letter to Iain McNicol that:

Morgan was referring to a comment made by
a speaker at a Free Speech on Israel meeting that all subjects should be discussed,
including whether the Holocaust occurred. It is a standard free speech
argument, it didn’t indicate any agreement with Holocaust denial.

Morgan’s attack on me for simply being
at the meeting were a classic case of guilt by association. I therefore made a complaint, not once but three
times, (12th October, 16th and 24th November)
to McNicol. McNicol has refused to even acknowledge my complaint.

Realising
that making a complaint to crooked McNicol was useless, since Labour’s complaints
system is only designed for use by the Right, I decided to make a complaint to
Brighton and Hove Council’s Standards Board. Whilst I am unable to provide full
details of the outcome at the present time, I am pleased to say that Warren
Morgan has been forced to amend his post above and has now deleted all
references to me. He has in addition offered, via the relevant Standards Board
officer, an apology.

However this was obtained through a statutory
process. It would have been impossible
to achieve any measure of recompense through the Labour Party’s Complaints
System because it is a factional instrument of the Right. It does not contain any element of fairness
which is why I had go to the High Court to rectify the bias of the Chair of
this Panel and what Steve Bell called the National Kangaroo Court.

This submission has therefore been

Labour’s Compliance Unit have gone to
great length to try to gather samples of abusive posts by me. Such things as ‘Gay Zios make me puke’ which is no more
than an expression of belief about gays who use their own oppression to justify
the oppression of others or references to ‘Zio scum’ seem to disturb them no
end. All of the above posts lack any
context. The latter comment is in response to abuse from a Zionist and was
entirely justified.

In fact, as the 6 pages of abusive
tweets I have already submitted demonstrate, far from me abusing others I have
been the victim of abusive social media posts.
The use of the word ‘scum’ is perfectly justified for racists or fascists. I realise that members of the Panel are
likely have no experience or involvement in anti-fascist activity and those who
compiled the dodgy dossier are even less likely, but if they had then they
would know that one of the key slogans shouted on anti-fascist demonstrations
was ‘Nazi scum off the streets’. In Brighton we had a variant on this ‘Thick and dumb, Nazi scum’. No doubt McNicol’s poisonous scribes
would have declared we were being oppressive to the local fascists!

The exchange on Warren Morgan’s
Facebook page was between a former Labour councillor Craig Turton and Warren
Morgan. In response to Craig Turton’s statement
that ‘Greenstein is a poisonous piece of
shit – the sooner he’s kicked out of the party the better’ Morgan responds
‘Thanks Craig, appreciate that. Hope you are well.’

If I had posted this truly abusive post

No doubt there will be some tendentious
excuse by Panel members as to why selective indignation by McNicol’s
apparatchiks is irrelevant. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you. I expect the
panel will follow the example of the 3 wise monkeys and see, say and hear
nothing. However it is important to put these things down for the record.

13 exception is taken to my description of John Mann MP as someone ‘addicted to murder and racism.’ This is my assessment of the rent-a-mouth who
accused Ken Livingstone of being a supporter of Hitler! Mann has gone out of
his way to accuse opponents of Israel of ‘anti-Semitism’.
It was his Committee that was behind
the introduction of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance which
conflates anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Mann also penned an open
letter (27.7.15) to Jeremy Corbyn accusing him, during the first leadership
election, of having turned a blind eye to child abuse. This disgusting man used the suffering of
children in order to mount a political vendetta against the soon to be leader
of the Labour Party. It is about time
that Mann was made accountable. I regret
nothing.

As someone who has deliberately targeted
supporters of the Palestinians as ‘anti-Semitic’ my accusations against him are
well founded. It is suggested further
that my comments are ‘potentially

not to my knowledge a saying of mine. I’m

however refer to my applause

On page 9 of the Bundle, accompanying

by me saying that if you have the racist JLM taking a training course on anti-Semitism
you may as well invite Nick Griffin of the BNP.
I stand by this remark. Asking
racists to take a course on opposing racism beggars belief. I also made the joke that it’s like asking
the late Dr Harold Shipman to take a course on medical ethics. Clearly, apart from all his other
deficiencies, Newmark doesn’t possess a sense of humour either.

Death of Sir
Gerald Kaufman MP
Gerald Kaufman MP
It is now nearly a year since Gerald
Kaufman, the then father of the House of Commons died. When I first met him he was a
died-in-the-wool Zionist. However the
actions and behaviour of Israel over the years had taken its toll of the man
who coined the ‘longest suicide note in
history’ pun to describe Labour’s 1983 Manifesto. Sir Gerald, although on the Right of the
Labour Party,, was a dedicated humanitarian and he had spoken out about
Israel’s war crimes, especially in regard to Gaza. That was why the Zionist movement loathed
him. No less than 10% of the bundle is
devoted to my blog posts on Sir Gerald.

On page 138 in my appreciation on Sir
Gerald’s death I reprint the famous speech he gave in 2009 at the time of
Operation Cast Lead when Israel killed 1,400 people in Gaza. Sir Gerald denounced this in no uncertain
terms comparing the actions of Israel in killing Palestinian grandmothers to
the actions of Nazi soldiers who killed his grandmother in a Polish
ghetto. Perhaps the cretins of the
Compliance Unit want to have a posthumous denunciation of Sir Gerald for
offending against the even more cretinous IHRA definition of anti-Semitism?

It is outrageous because of the assumption

free speech in the Compliance Unit not doubt believe that the racist Israeli
state is a flourishing, western style democracy that just happens to be based

It would appear that the mere holding
and expressing of a political opinion is, in itself, a disciplinary offence if
it strays into criticism of Israel beyond the normal platitudes. This is a police state mentality. I don’t know the name of the narrow minded
bigot drew up this charge but this is a complete waste of staff resources. What
kind of disciplinary process is it which penalises a political opinion? This is McCarthyism or maybe McNicolism gone
mad.

It is a statement of fact that the JLM

Livingstone, of ‘anti-Semitism’. I am not aware that Newmark has ever faced

a disciplinary offence. #

Union was quite explicit. They did
not believe a word of the evidence he gave when trying to frame UCU for racial

who continued to live in Israel until 1966.

The ILP erected the architecture of Israeli Apartheid
such as the special place of the Jewish Agency and the Jewish National
Fund. These are parastate organisations
whose existence is predicated on promoting and favouring the interests of
Jewish as opposed to non-Jewish citizens.
For example 93% of Israeli land is reserved for the benefit of Jews only
and despite an adverse decision in Kadun v Israeli Land Administration
the State of Israel has continued to discriminate in land allocation passing
for example the Reception
Committee Law in 2009.

dominated the Zionist movement campaigned on the policies of Jewish Land and
Jewish Produce. These policies were best

Histadrut (Zionist Union) Building Company.

I had to fight my friends on the issue of Jewish socialism, to defend the

defend preaching to housewives that they not buy at Arab stores; to defend the
fact that we stood guard at orchards to prevent Arab workers from getting jobs
there… To pour kerosene on Arab tomatoes; to attack Jewish housewives in the
markets and smash the Arab eggs they had bought; to praise to the skies to
Keren Kayemet [Jewish National Fund] that sent [Zionist Organisation agent
Yehoshua] Hankin to Beirut to buy land from absentee effendis [landowners] and
to throw the fellahin off the land… to do all that was not easy.” (David

The ILP was not
unique. Similar Labour Parties were set
up amongst the white settlers in South Africa, Canada, Australia and
Rhodesia. Almost without exception these
parties were advocates of a colour bar.
In Australia for example the Labour Party and Trade Union Movement were
the foremost proponents of a White Australian Policy. In no case were any of
these parties represented inside the British Labour Party. For historical
reasons, primarily the necessity to win over the Labour Party to support the
Balfour Declaration, the ILP (then Mapai) was represented by Poale Zion as an
affiliated socialist society. This is a historical anachronism, a relic of the
British Empire.

Whereas in the former White Dominions the old Labour
Parties have either disappeared (South Africa/Zimbabwe/Canada) or changed
(Australia/New Zealand) in Israel the ILP is as racist as it always was. If the ILP had changed its spots and de-Zionised
in the same way as the Australian Labour Party had decolonised, then there
might be some reason why the JLM should remain an affiliate. However the JLM has not shake off its
past. On the contrary it is one of the
main organisations behind the false anti-Semitism campaign.

was the closest ally of South Africa during the Apartheid years. Israel not only helped South Africa develop a

Africa. And who can forget the visit of

Despite having been interned during the war for Nazi sympathies Vorster
made the obligatory visit to Yad Vashem the Holocaust propaganda museum. Thus the victims of the Holocaust were used
in the sanitisation of a white supremacist. Yad Vashem does this regularly

they would protest to the ILP about their stance on refugees for example but
you would look in vain for any

represent the interests of the Israeli state inside the Labour Party not to
represent our views to them.

No. 41 seems to take exception to my remarks made after the death of the

a Zionist, at least nominally, Sir Gerald was a rare species who actually
believed in some of the rhetoric they engage in. I said that his famous speech
in Parliament at the time of Operation Cast Lead ‘was unforgivable because we must not compare Israel to Nazi
Germany. Only Zionists may use the
Holocaust to defend their bastard state of racial supremacy.’ What is the objection to this passage. It is a fact that the Zionist movement
shamelessly exploits the Holocaust for political purposes. But it is held to be unforgivable when others
make comparisons, as Sir Gerald did, between Israel’s actions and those of Nazi
Germany. I disagree.

May than Jeremy Corbyn. A sentiment McNicol and those who

he believed Labour was going to lose seats.

the Conservative press is what lies at the root of Labour’s electoral
weakness. It stands for nothing but

Now I know that the sycophants and
incompetents who drew up this dossier will not have heard of Michal Kaminski or
Jedwabne so let me educate you. Jedwabne was a village in Eastern Poland in
1941 where there was a large Jewish community. When the Russians left in June
1941 the Nazis moved in. But it wasn’t the Nazis who murdered the Jews of
Jedwabne but some of their fellow Polish citizens. Up to 1600 Jews were rounded
up and herded into a barn which was then set alight. The Jews of Jedwabne died
at the hands of their fellow Poles.

Kaminski gave his support to the Committee to Defend the Good Name of
Jedwabne, formed by the local Catholic priest, Father Orlowski. Its main
function was to deny that Polish hands had set fire to the barn and to blame it
on the Nazis. There is however no doubt, as Bikont and Grosz demonstrate, that
it was Polish fascists of the Nationalist Endek Party that were responsible.

The party chairman, Eric Pickles, offered an appalling defence, telling the BBC
last month that the Latvian Waffen-SS were only conscripts fighting for their
country, and to say otherwise was a Soviet smear. Again, this misses the fact
that a substantial minority of the Latvian Waffen-SS were eager volunteers,
including veterans of pro-Nazi death squads who had already taken part in the
first phase of the Holocaust – and that should be enough to decide that those
who march in celebration of men who fought with Hitler, and against Britain and
its allies, are beyond the pale.

matter of politics. The reality is that Labour’s civil service, its staff and
administration are full to the brim of people who were appointed under Blair’s
regime and who subscribe to the idea that Labour should be a party of
imperialism and war and differ only from the Tories in the quality of our
soundbites and focus groups.

The 189 page bundle is truly pathetic. It is the political equivalent of a gossip
column and says more about those who compiled it than about me. It is symptomatic of the poverty of intellect
and ideas that infests Labour’s permanent bureaucracy. It is not myself or other anti-racists or
anti-Zionists who should be expelled. It
is McNicol, Stolliday and the rest of the rats who should be shown the door.
