The Zionist lobby demonstrates
that the primary purpose of the IHRA is to witch-hunt of Jewish critics of Israel
For some strange reason there was no publicity given to this excellent news about the decline in violent incidents against Jews!!

After the
2017 Labour Party Conference, the overwhelming majority of delegates made it clear that their sympathies lay
with the Palestinians not the Apartheid State of Israel. The Jewish Labour
Movement and Labour Friends of Israel left the Conference with their racist tails between their legs, determined on revenge. They
soon alighted on an article by Professor Moshe Machover distributed by Labour
Party Marxists
entitled ‘Anti-Zionism
does not equal Anti-Semitism’
. A section on Nazi Collaboration
covered certain embarrassing episodes, such as the welcome leading Zionists gave
to Hitler, who they saw as vindicating everything they had argued for about the
need for Jews and Germans to separate. Moshe mentioned the order of Reinhard
Heydrich, Deputy Leader of the SS, stating that the Zionist organisations were to be given preferable treatment. All this and more can be found
in e.g. Lucy Dawidowicz’s War
Against the Jews.
Moshe also referred
to the Zionist welcome for the Nuremburg Laws, “the most murderous legislative instrument known to
European history”
[Gerald
Reitlinger]. The Zionist view that Jews were a separate nation and therefore not
part of the German Volk (people) accorded with
Nazi beliefs. To most German Jews, the Nuremburg Laws, which stripped them of
German citizenship, meant that they were aliens in the country they were born in. 

Although today’s Zionists don’t like to be reminded of the history of the Zionist movement in the 1930’s, it is helpful in explaining the racist ideology of the Israeli state.  On June 21 1933 the German Zionist Federation (ZVfD) sent a memorandum to Hitler.  It read:

On the foundation of the new state, which has established the
principle of race… fruitful activity for the fatherland is possible. Our
acknowledgement of Jewish nationality provides for a clear and sincere
relationship to the German people and its national and racial realities.
Precisely because we don’t wish to falsify these fundamentals, because we too
are against mixed marriages and are for maintaining the purity of the Jewish
group… The realisation of Zionism could only be hurt by resentment of Jews
abroad against the German development. Boycott propaganda… is in essence
fundamentally unZionist, because Zionism wants not to do battle but to convince
and to build.’

 Zionism has come full circle with the passage
last week of the Jewish Nation State Law which officially confirmed that Arabs
do not have national rights within Israel.  
The CST’s predecessor, the Community Security Organisation was heavily criticised by Liberty for barring left-wing Jews from Jewish communal events

Unsurprisingly
the JLM saw red (for the first time in its history?!).  At the beginning of October Moshe received a
letter from Sam Matthews, notifying him that he had been expelled under Rule
2.1.4.B. for either belonging to or supporting the Communist Party of Great
Britain and Labour Party Marxists, which wasn’t true. However Matthews
had bitten off more than he could chew. Machover is an internationally renowned academic, a Professor of
Mathematical Logic, as well as being an Israeli anti-Zionist and founder of the
Israeli Socialist Organisation Matzpen.

The CST is known to have extremely close links to Israel’s Mossad and is part of Israel’s control of the ‘antisemitism industry’ worldwide
The Labour
Party was deluged with protests by branches and CLPs and it was clear that
Matthews had bitten off more than he could chew. Within 3 weeks Moshe’s
expulsion had been rescinded. However Zionists, like elephants, have long
memories. If they lose the first time then they sooner or later come back for a
second bite.

Moshe Machover interview on the Real News provoked the CST  into a bout of infantile ‘antisemitism’ posturing
Earlier this month Moshe gave an interview
with the United State’s Real News Network. In response to a question asking why
Zionists insist that anti-Semitism is not a form of racism, Moshe responded (about
6’28”) that the Zionist view was that:

Mark Gardner of the CST sharing concerns over ‘antisemitism’ with Richard Littlejohn, Britain’s most racist journalist before Katie Hopkins appeared
anti-Semitism is something sui generis, it is not like anything other form of racism, just as
they like to claim that the Holocaust, the genocide of the Jews under the Nazi
regime in Europe, is not a genocide, it cannot be compared or discussed with
other cases of genocide but it is just something on its own, it is an object
outside general history, it shouldn’t be discussed in conjunction with any
other genocide. It is in effect to make Israel something special and Israel
supporters something special. This is part of their ideology.”

CST is heavily involved in trying to discredit anti-Zionist Jews

You might think that Moshe, like all academics, was offering his opinion on a matter of wide public interest.  But you’d be wrong. Zionism is a totalitarian ideology and the CST’s slimy snoops, who are part of the Zionist Inquisition, pore over peoples’ pronouncements for any sign of heresy. These little Torquemadas go out of their way to be offended. 

The
Zionist ‘charity’ Community Security Trust immediately accused Moshe of a ‘disgusting slur’ by suggesting that the pro-Israel
lobby “was exploiting the legacy of the
Holocaust to try to silence criticism of the country.
’  Furthermore Moshe claimed that Gilad Erdan, Israeli
Interior Minister and his Ministry of Strategic Affairs was behind the campaign  against Labour’s new guidelines on anti-Semitism. How shameful, you might think, to draw attention to the elephant in the room.

Exploiting
the legacy of the Holocaust
On
my reading Moshe didn’t say what the CST alleged. But he would have been
completely entitled to have said that the Zionist movement exploits and always has exploited the Holocaust.
There are innumerable examples. Defenders of Israel always, without exception,
point to the creation of Israel as compensation to the Jewish people for the
Holocaust. Holocaust analogies are to Israel what butter is to bread!

Was it not Israeli Labour Foreign Minister Abba Eban who
described the Green Line separating Israel from the Occupied Territories as the
Auschwitz
Borders
‘? 
Or Menachem Begin who described Yassir
Arafat under siege in Beirut as Hitler in his bunker in Berlin? Or how about
Matan Vilnai, the Deputy Defence Minister, who threatened a
‘bigger Shoah’ (Holocaust) against the Palestinians of Gaza? Or Netanyahu who stated that
it is 1938 and Iran is Germany.’ The examples of legion. 

For
the CST to suggest that saying Israel uses the holocaust is antisemitic, I can
only assume that even as I write their collective noses are growing.  And
no, before I am accused of an antisemitic joke I’m referring to Pinnochio’s nose not
the stereotype of Jewish noses!
No
opportunity is lost to cast the Palestinians as continuing Hitler’s campaign of
extermination. At Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Propaganda Museum in Jerusalem,
there is a picture of the Mufti of Jerusalem on the wall sieg heiling a group
of SS Stormtroopers. As Tom Segev, an Israeli historian and journalist wrote,
its purpose is to ‘‘conclude that there is much in common
between the Nazis’ plan to destroy the Jews and the Arabs’ enmity to Israel.’

(The Seventh Million p.425).  

Israeli
Professor of History, Edit Zertal noted there hasn’t been a war involving
Israel ‘that has not been perceived,
defined, and conceptualized in terms of the Holocaust.’ Israel has mobilised
the Holocaust ‘in the service of Israeli politics.
’ Israel’s Holocaust and
the Politics of Nationhood.  

Just last week we saw a particularly
sickening example of just how Israel and the Zionist movement use the Holocaust
as a political prop. Hungary’s anti-Semitic Prime Minister, Viktor Orban,
visited Israel and, as is the case with all official visitors to Israel, Orban stopped
off to shed a few tears at Yad Vashem. 

Outside a group of
Israelis, including Holocaust survivors, held a protest at the visit of a man
who has sought to rehabilitate Hungary’s pro-Nazi war time leader, Admiral Horthy.
Horthy presided over the deportation of nearly ½m  Hungary Jews to
Auschwitz. There is little doubt that he could have put an end to the
deportation of the Jews at any time between May 15 and July 7th 1944
if he had not chosen to disbelieve reports of their extermination. Indeed there
is little doubt that Horthy was aware what the fate of the provincial Jews of
Hungary would be. Yet Orban called him an exceptional
statesman’
 
and is waging a campaign in Hungary for his
rehabilitation. This is the man Netanyahu calls his friend. 

At
no time and on no occasion have British Zionists – from the Board to Labour
Friends of Israel or the Jewish Labour Movement even raised a murmur.
Veronika Cohen, one of the
demonstrators and a Hungarian Holocaust survivor explained
‘I don’t think that you have to be a
Holocaust survivor or a Hungarian to be here to say that Orban has no business
coming here,”
. Yael
Weiss-Reind, whose family was murdered in Hungary during the Holocaust, said that Yad Vashem was granting legitimacy to these regimes when it “accepts leaders who carry out policies and
ideologies that are very similar to what we saw decades ago.”
According to the CST’s interpretation of the IHRA both
Veronika Cohen and Yael Weiss-Reind are anti-Semites.
In Israel
comparisons with the Nazis are run of the mill.
Assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was dressed up by his
opponents in SS uniform. Professor Yeshayahu Leibowitz, who won the Israel prize,
described the Jewish settlers on the West Bank as Judeo Nazis. Menachem Begin compared Yassir Arafat in the Beirut
siege to Hitler in his final days in a Berlin bunker.

Israeli Professor Ofer Cassif compares Israel to Nazi Germany – shock horror!
Hebrew
University Professor Ofer Cassif compared
Israel to Nazi Germany as did another Hebrew university academic, Daniel
Blatman, a Holocaust researcher, who compared Israel
to both South Africa and Nazi Germany.

The CST’s accounts aren’t actually signed, but squiggled
The Community Security
Trust are an overtly Zionist charity. Most of their work is taken up collating
statistics on anti-Semitism and in providing protection for Jewish schools and
premises. They are lavishly funded through Home Office grants. Two thirds of
their income, £20 million came from government grants last year. Their latest
accounts
show that have over £16m in assets. Although the Charity
Commission does not list their trustees it is known that Gerald Ronson, the
owner of the Heron group, gaoled during the Guinness Trial, is Chair of the Trustees.
The
background to the CST’s operations is what Tony Lerman, former Director of the
Institute of Jewish Affairs and the Institute of Jewish Policy Research, described as ‘Israeli hegemony over the
monitoring and combating of anti-Semitism.’
 Lerman describes how, as the principal Editor
of the Anti-Semitism World Report, he
was put under pressure by London’s Mossad (MI6) representative either to cease
publication or merge it with the Project for the Study of Anti-Semitism at Tel
Aviv University under Professor Dina Porat, which was partly financed by
Mossad.  Porat is now the head of Yad
Vashem and a dedicated Zionist Holocaust historian.  
Lerman
describes how, with the Mossad pressurising individual Jewish communities
world-wide his World Report ceased
publication in 1999. This was a time when Israel was fashioning the ‘new
anti-Semitism’ into a potent weapon that Israel could use. It fed into the prevailing
idea that Islam was the main source of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism was
increasingly defined in terms of Muslims not fascists or genuine anti-Semites.
[See Tony Lerman, Anti-Semitism Redefined
in ‘On Anti-Semitism’, Jewish Voice for Peace, Haymarket Books, 2017].
Netanyahu
attempted to redefine anti-Semitism in terms of the Palestinians at
the 2015 World Zionist Congress when he asserted
that but for the Mufti of Jerusalem 6 million Jews would not have been
exterminated.
Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the
time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and
said, “If you expel them, they’ll all
come here.” “So what should I do with them?”
he asked. He said, “Burn them.” [See Rewriting
the Holocaust
]
Netanyahu’s
speech was a prime example of how Zionism distorts the Holocaust to fit in with
the Zionist narrative, however I don’t recall any protests from the CST’s Dave
Rich or Mark Gardener, both of whom reserve their venom for Jewish critics of
Zionism.
The
CST is in the business of distorting and manipulating popular perceptions of
anti-Semitism in the service of the Israeli state. The whole basis of Zionism
is aliyah, the emigration of Jews to
Israel.  The only problem is that most
diaspora Jews don’t want to live in Israel. Even when, as with France a few
years ago, there was an upsurge of anti-Semitism and the murder of 4 Jews in the kosher supermarket, French Jews refused to come. Many
of those who did come left again because their situation in France is so
much better.
One
of the ways to persuade Jews to emigrate to Israel is to instil in them the perception of
anti-Semitism and to create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty whereby anti-Semitism
is perceived as everywhere, all around us. A good example is the false anti-Semitism crisis in
the Labour Party. Most members know that anti-Semitism is non-existent in the
Labour Party but if you looked at the headlines in the Jewish Chronicle then
you’d think that the SS dragnet was about to close on every Jewish member of
the Party.

The CST Incidents Report for the first 6 months of 2018 show a decline in incidents, especially violent ones – this disappointing news meant the CST gave it no publicity
This is the role of the CST which produces every 6 months an
Anti-Semitic Incidents Report.  The latest Report was not accompanied by the
usual publicity and scare stories in the news papers. Why? Because the number of ‘anti-Semitic incidents’ in the first half of 2018 fell from 767 in the equivalent period in 2017 to 727 ,
that is a fall of 8% . Even worse from the Zionist perspective, the number of
violent incidents fell by a massive 26% from 80 to 59 in the same period. For
the third year none of these violent incidents were classed as ‘extreme’ which
means they didn’t involve serious or indeed any injury. 
I have commented before
on how the small relationship of violent incidents to overall hate /incidents
against Jews suggests that there is something dodgy in the latter figures.
Usually there is a much larger proportion of assaults as part of overall hate incidents.
In the case of religious attacks around 30% going up to 45% in the case of disability.  Yet this year the proportion of violent attacks
on Jews compared to overall hate incidents is just 8.1%, down from 10% last
year. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the number of hate
incidents in inflated by things like social media trivia and comments about Israel
which are interpreted under the IHRA definition as anti-Semitism.
You might expect the CST to get the champagne out and celebrate
the fall in violent incidents and how safe life is for Jewish people in Britain
today. This is clear evidence of a decline in anti-Semitism from what were already
small numbers. Not a bit of it. It is all sackcloth and ashes because from a Zionist
point of view
such statistics are extremely disappointing. Zionism’s
core belief is that Jews do not belong where they live. If you are a good Jew
you should abandon Britain and head for Israel. For the first time in years
there was no publicity around these
stats.
 

Sheikh Raed Salah – the target of racist witchhunts in Israel and in the UK by the CST and Home Office
The CST has a long pedigree of Zionist politics and
hostility to the Palestinians.  I have
written about the CST’s well
paid gravy train
and their racist animus to Raed Saleh, leader of Israel’s
Northern Islamic Leagues which the Israeli state banned without good cause. [see
Lawrence Rubin of the Brookings Institution, Why
Israel outlawed the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement
] The reasons for suppressing a mass movement of Israel’s Arab
population were political not security related. This at a time when Israeli groups
like Lehava, whose leader Benzi Gopstein has advocated
the arson
of mosques and churches, are left untouched.
When the leader of the Northern Islamic League, Sheikh Raed Salah
visited Britain in 2011 he was made subject to an Exclusion Order by Theresa
May as Home Secretary and put in custody. However May forgot to inform either
the Sheikh or Britain’s immigration officers! It was only after 3 days that he
was arrested on the basis of information supplied by the CST. The only problem
was that it was inaccurate. The CST’s evidence cited
racist Hebrew University Professor Raphael Israeli who denounced Sheikh Raed
Salah.
Raphael Israeli was
quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald, 16.2.07.  [Limit
Muslim migration, Australia warned
] as saying that ‘When the Muslim population gets to a critical mass you
have problems. That is a general rule’
Asa Winstanley of Electronic Intifada in The
secret CST documents that smeared anti-Zionist Jews as extremists
 showed how the CST was responsible for feeding
the Home Office with false information about the ‘anti-Semitism’ of Raed Salah,
including a deliberately false translation of a poem of Salah via the Jerusalem
Post
. 

The CST’s hostility to an Israeli Arab leader contrasts with
the blind eye it has turned to EDL and far-Right presence on Zionist demonstrations’.
As David Hearst wrote:

The CST’s
confidential advice to the home secretary was accompanied by a
well-orchestrated and poisonous campaign against Salah in the media, who so
swiftly and conclusively condemned him as a “hate preacher”. Theresa
May’s haste to ban Raed Salah will be repented at leisure
The result of the CST feeding the Home Office false information was that Mr Justice Ockleton in the Upper Tier Immigration Tribunal quashed Theresa May’s Order and freed Raed Salah to continue with his tour.

The CST acts as an arm of Israel’s Mossad. It is also a charity
and therefore benefits financially from its charity status. Allegedly
set up to defend the Jewish community, the CST has never ever participated in anti-fascist
mobilisation. What is surprising is that the CST, whose nose has been put out
of joint in recent years by the more strident Campaign Against Anti-Semitism should have adopted their tactics in their attack on Moshe Machover. For further articles on the CST see:
