This article should be read in conjunction with my introductory article:  ‘The
Lies of David Collier (Gnasher Jew) and his Dodgy Dossiers – Why are the BBC,
the Guardian and the press repeatedly taken in by this bogus ‘Researcher’
& his attacks on Corbyn? which was an initial reaction to
Collier’s investigation into the Palestine Live Facebook
Group, which he maintains is at the centre of an anti-Semitic conspiracy. 

In Palestine Live Part 1 Collier claims
that he ‘sets the bar’ for anti-Semitism ‘unnaturally high’. He claims that if he had used the IHRA definition of
anti-Semitism, which conflates anti-Zionism and
anti-Semitism, then anyone calling Israel a Nazi state would be defined as
antisemitic.  In other words virtually everyone in the Palestine
Live group would have been an anti-semite. 

(see Defining Anti-Semitism by former Court
of Appeal Judge Sir Stephen Sedley) 

In fact the IHRA
does not say this. It is merely one of 11 illustrative
examples which are not part of the IHRA
definition.  The Introduction to these examples states that: 

‘Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media,
schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking
into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to
Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.’

The IHRA Secretariat confirm in an email that the 11 examples Collier refer are not part of the definition of antisemitism

Collier’s
dishonesty, failing to mention that even according to the IHRA, the conflation
of Israeli policies with the Nazi only could be antisemitic is
an example of the dishonest methods he uses throughout the Report. Collier’s
Report is a political polemic dressed up as academic
research.

Collier is a brazen liar who is only allowed to get away with it by a
media that allows him to. Collier reflects their prejudices. Anyone who
seriously examines his ‘Reports’ cannot help but conclude that yes he finds
some anti-Semitism but that his main purpose is to label all support for the
Palestinians as anti-Semitic, especially Jewish anti-Zionism.

Collier fails to contextualise the anti-Semitism he does find, using it
instead to reinforce his own Zionist narrative.  By contextualisation I mean this. If you say that everything the Israeli
state, a self-defined Jewish state, does is on behalf of all Jews, then some
people will believe you and react accordingly.  If the so-called
representative body of British Jews, the Board of Deputies, claims Israel’s
actions are on behalf of British Jews, then some people will believe them and
become anti-Jewish. What this really amounts to is the creation of
anti-Semitism by Zionism.  But for Israel there would be no such
reactions. 

Likewise if you use
the Holocaust, not in order to teach about the evils of racism but to justify
racism and every barbarous act of Israel, including ethnic cleansing, is it
surprising that some people deny that there was a Holocaust?  The
responsibility for the increase in Holocaust denial is that of a Zionist
movement whose propaganda museum in Israel, Yad Vashem, makes a point of
ensuring that every visiting diplomat pays a visit in order that it can be
emphasised that Israel is the answer to the genocide of European Jews.  So
even openly anti-Semitic politicians like MEPs Michal Kaminski and Robert Zile
are shown around.  They even have a special exhibition wall
devoted to the long forgotten (except by the Zionists) Mufti of
Jerusalem.  But I digress.

After having
disclaimed his intention of following normal Zionist practice of equating
anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, in the remaining 279 pages of his Report
Collier does just that. Collier relies on the laziness of the average
journalist to sit down, read and critically analyse his Report. Collier
understands that most journalists, in eager pursuit of an anti-Corbyn article,
will abandon what few critical faculties they possess.

If Collier was
being truthful about setting the bar high in terms of anti-Semitism, then the
question arises as to why Naomi Wimborne-Iddrissi, Asa Winstanley of Electronic
Intifada, Glyn Secker, Mike Cushman, Leah Levane, myself and other
Jewish anti-Zionists appear in this Report. At no stage does he quote anything
we have said which is anti-Semitic. He relies entirely on guilt by association
and inferences. The only conclusion is that Collier’s sole purpose is to smear
Palestine solidarity activists and in particular Jewish anti-Zionist
activists with the brush of anti-Semitism. Indeed he has a section on
The Jewish anti-Zionists (page 87, Part 2) coupled with a little chart to
show who is who.

It is not just the Guardian which treats
Collier as a neutral ‘businessman’. Huff Post
calls him an ‘anti-Semitism campaigner’.
To the Mail be is just a ‘blogger.’ Which is
somewhat more accurate. This is not simply journalistic laziness. What the
Press are interested in is fanning the flames of the false anti-Semitism
narrative. In doing this they know that they can count on the complicity of
Labour’s Compliance Unit and Sam Matthews who immediately
suspended Glyn Secker of Jewish Voice for
Labour.

Jeremy Corbyn has been attacked for being a member of a Facebook Group on which a tiny handful of anti-semites posted.  The Zionist charity Campaign Against Antisemitism has even made a complaint about Jeremy to the Labour Party for antisemitism!

The strange thing though is if Jeremy Corbyn is anti-semitic because he was a member of a Facebook group which contained anti-semites, then David Collier, in addition to being an Anti-Arab racist is also an anti-Semite! Collier is a member of the International Community Facebook group.  It regularly hosts anti-Semitic world Jewish conspiracy stuff such as ‘Lennin (sic) and Stalin All Mass Murderers!  All Jewish!’. (neither was!)  This is obviously anti-Semitic.

The post underneath is even clearer.  The real holocaust was the holocaust of 15m Germans.  By the Jews of course. 

Collier was added to this Facebook group by one Debra Cohen who is no slouch herself.  According to her Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadic, Serbians who were found by the International Criminal Court at the Hague to be war criminals are innocent.  Why?  It was Muslims whom they butchered and put into concentration camps.

Of course it may be that Collier wasn’t aware of these posts, though it is clear he and Cohen know each other.  But according to the logic he deploys against others he is an out and out neo-Nazi!!

Even
by Zionist standards, and I set the bar pretty high, Collier is an extremist
and a racist. In a ‘debate’ organised by the far-Right Zionist Campaign
for Truth, Collier spoke on a far—Right panel that included Melanie
Phillips, David Hirsh (the ‘moderate’), and Brian John Thomas (the fascist admirer of the EDL and friend of Tommy
Robinson). Collier stated: 

In
other words the Palestinian refugees, the victims of ethnic cleansing and
massacre, are a myth. Even Zionist historians such as Benny Morris accept that
the refugees were expelled in order to create a Jewish majority state. Collier’s methodology is that of Holocaust
denial.

Collier
provides a link to a blog by me on how a large part of Orthodox
Jewry maintain that the Holocaust was god’s punishment. It is a fact that for
Orthodox Jewry everything that happens is preordained by god, the holocaust
included. Collier infers that I am anti-semitic for saying this.  Collier
repeats that I was expelled from the Labour Party, without explaining its
relevance to a Report on ‘anti-Semitism’ with the obvious inference that it was
for anti-Semitism whereas it was, of course, for anti-Zionism.  This too
is his methodology.

One
of the main purposes of Collier’s Report is to mount a crude attack on Jewish
anti-Zionists. Collier admits
that ‘these activists are not going to be found sharing
or liking Rothschild Conspiracy or Holocaust denial posts…’   

Collier argues that ‘It is also confusing for people who are not
Jewish’ to be confronted with Jews who are not Zionists. He writes
that ‘Nothing will stifle the voice of someone who is not Jewish sticking up
for Israel, better than one of these people will.’  What is
Collier’s conclusion? ‘Quite disgracefully they weaponise
antisemitism.’ At this point pots and kettles come to mind!

But even if Collier is correct, since
he accepts Jewish anti-Zionists don’t share Holocaust Denial or Rothschilds
posts, why are they in a Report that is only concerned with
anti-Semitism not anti-Zionism? The answer of course is obvious. The
Report is a dishonest attempt to use ‘anti-Semitism’ in order to attack
anti-Zionists, especially Jewish anti-Zionists. 

Collier says that ‘the clearest example of legitimising antisemitism’
was a meeting at the House of Commons yet he fails to explain what it was said that
was anti-Semitic!  Yet this is supposed to be a ‘research Report’ that
sets the bar for anti-semitism ‘unnaturally high’!

Collier employs classic McCarthyite guilt-by-association techniques. He
describes FSOI as being ‘a group of Palestine Live members, who created
FSOI to deflect accusations of anti-Semitism.’  

There is no
connection at all between FSOI, which consists primarily of Jewish anti-Zionist
activists and which has its own Facebook group and the Palesine Live Facebook group. The fact that a minority of FSOI members
may also be members of Palestine, along with a few thousand
other people, is irrelevant. They may also be members of the same
golf club. 


There is not the slightest shred of evidence that FSOI and
PL are one and the same but this confusion of groups is essential if Collier is to demonise
FSOI and JVL, which is his real purpose. Collier also slips in the
assertion that FSOI was created to ‘deflect accusations of
anti-Semitism’.  No it was formed to rebut false accusations of
anti-Semitism.  

Collier was rattled by the article I
published on December 5th 2017 naming 31 Zionist Fascists who
went around London deliberately disrupting Palestine meetings, attempting to
halt a Balfour march by PSC and in at least one case assaulting people
attending a meeting. People who are named are both Jewish and non-Jewish but in
any event their religion is irrelevant, it is their politics and activities that concerned me. 

This article is described as ‘vicious’ by Collier.  An adjective best applied to his own ‘Reports’. A more accurate
description would be truthful. However we know that those, Collier included,
named in the article have been much put out by it and that it has caused them
severe problems as well as embarrassment being named alongside for example Paul
Besser, Britain First Intelligence Officer.  Again the question
arises, what has this to do with anti-Semitism, Collier’s apparent target?

Collier’s only attempt to explain my presence in his Report is that I
have been a member of PL and therefore ‘must have known’ about the
few anti-Semitic posts. He gives no evidence for this assertion and it is
simply wrong. I only used the group to publicise my own blog. I never
participated in discussions until after his Report was issued. I knew nothing
of such posts and because they were so infrequent it was unlikely that I would
do so. Collier’s assumptions are speculative. This too is indicative of his
methodology.

More to the
point, Collier ‘must have known’  that the people he mixes with are associates of fascists and
Jewish Nazis like Roberta Moore and her boyfriend Robert Jonge, Paul Besser and
Jonathan Hoffman of EDL/JDL fame.

Collier, knowing full well the
stupidity and gullibility of most journalists, states in his Introduction
that ‘you would have to work hard at it’ to be included in his
‘research’. On the contrary, it takes no effort at all. Far from ‘setting
the bar for anti-Semitism unnaturally high’ Collier ensured that just
about anyone who criticises the Israeli state would be tripped up by his bar.

As for
Collier’s claim that his research is ‘fully independent’ by his own
admission it has been funded by the far-Right Jewish Human Rights Watch.
Collier is about as independent as a dog on a leash.

Another
example of ‘anti-Semitism’ that rankled with Collier was the fact that Jackie
and I refused him admission to the JVL meeting at Labour Party conference. It
was not as he alleged because he was a Zionist but because he specialises in
defaming supporters of Palestine. His Report confirms our prognosis. 

At the founding
meeting of Herut UK on 18th February 2018, David Collier was one of the
speakers, alongside Arieh Miller, CEO of the Zionist Federation, Mark Lewis
(a media solicitor better known for acting against News Group) with Mandy Blumenfeld as Chair. Collier’s talk was on the
founder of Revisionist Zionism, whom even David Ben-Gurion called Vladimir
Hitler.

Jabotinsky, reached an agreement with Mussolini in 1934 to establish the Beitar Naval Academy at Civitavechia in
Italy. , They trained with Mussolini’s fascists.  Collier referred
during his talk to Jabotinsky’s famous essay the Iron Wall, which he wrote in 1923.  Jabotinsky’s theme was that the Zionists should not give
an inch to the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. But at least Jabotinsky was
honest. 

Today Zionists talk about Zionism as a ‘national liberation movement’ of
the Jews.  Jabotinsky had no regard for such nonsense.  He was an
honest colonialist.  

The reason that Collier is an admirer of Jabotinsky is that he made no
pretence of wishing to negotiate with the Arabs.  It was in his mind
futile.  All that mattered was who was stronger.  This is pure
fascist ideology. This is the man Collier admires. The same is true of
Collier’s attitudes to the Palestinians today.  Those who see him as some
kind of neutral ‘researcher’ are fools, knaves or idiots – and in the case of
the Guardian probably all three!

These are a group of Zionists so extreme that they are shunned even by
the main Israeli propaganda group BICOM, Jonathan Arkush and the Jewish Board of Deputies and
even by the disgraced Jeremy Newmark of the Jewish Labour Movement.
Yet this is of no concern to the British press. The
Guardian’s role in this is particularly despicable.

Now living near
Ilford, Collier was born in the UK in the
1960’s and spent 19 years in Israel between 1987 and 2006. Collier claims to
have run his own tourism-related business there but is remarkably reticent on
why he had to leave Israel although he professes a great love for the settler
state. Oddly, for whatever reason, it appears he has not returned there in
recent years.

Collier is a very close associate of
far-Right Zionist settler extremist Brian John Thomas who is also a
friend of Tommy Robinson, aka Stephen
Christopher Lennon, a fixture on Britain’s Islamaphobic far-Right.
Thomas spoke with Collier on a Campaign4truth event organised by Shitrit
and Klaff.  Even Jonathan Arkush, the right-wing President of the Board of
Deputies and the Board itself shun C4T, Shitrit and Klaff  and have
refused to speak at their poorly-attended events. Thomas writes on
the ISRAELLYCOOL blog and on Twitter as Dr. Brian of
London.   In the video he states:

 Kay Wilson – the acceptable fascist

Hoffman is frequently ejected from Palestine events he attends with
Collier (but Collier sits apart from him as he is “working undercover”).
