It appears that the real reasons
for Newmark’s departure in 2013 as Chief Executive of the Jewish Leadership
Council were not ill-health but fraud. Newmark
was forced to resign after being confronted with the results of an internal
audit into the JLC’s finances which alleged that he had defrauded them to the
tune of tens of thousands of pounds. The Jewish Chronicle alleges that the JLC trustees
covered up the real reasons for Newmark’s departure. An internal audit alleged
that “it appears to be standard practice in the JLC to falsify information relating
to finance”. The

These allegations, if true, cannot
help but damage the reputation of the Labour Party. We cannot accept the reasons given by McNicol
for refusing
to suspend Newmark, namely that this is a ‘private’
matter and that Newmark ‘strongly denies’
the allegations. If the allegations of
fraud against a charity are true then they are anything but private. BREAKING NEWS

Of course Mr Newmark denies the
allegations. We wouldn’t expect anything
else. That is why he should be suspended,
like thousands of other Labour Party members, pending an investigation.

No one has played a more
important role in the witch-hunt of socialists in the Labour Party than Newmark. Newmark and his Zionist friends reacted to the
left victory in the recent NEC elections and the replacement of Anne Black as
Chair of the Disputes Committee by demanding
that the expulsion of socialists be stepped up.

a story on how Newmark had avoided paying an Israeli taxi driver some
£3,000.

Last Friday Newmark reluctantly
resigned as Chair of the JLM. Now he
must also be suspended from the Labour Party as have thousands of other,

rule for most people and another for friends of McNicol. We know that McNicol has
always been reluctant to suspend opponents of Jeremy Corbyn and conversely
eager to suspend or auto-exclude those who are his supporters.

Dear Mr McNicol,
You are undoubtedly aware by now of the serious
allegations of fraud and theft which have been made against Jeremy Newmark in
the Jewish Chronicle. [Revealed: JLC audit reports Jeremy Newmark deceived
it out of thousands of pounds] [1]
Mr Newmark, who until recently was Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement was
Labour’s PPC at the last General Election for Finchley and Golders Green constituency
and is currently Leader of the Labour Group on Hertsmere Council.

Mr Newmark, who until recently was Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement was
Labour’s PPC at the last General Election for Finchley and Golders Green constituency
and is currently Leader of the Labour Group on Hertsmere Council.
These
allegations have been backed up by a comprehensive internal audit[2] by the organisation for which Mr Newmark was Chief
Executive Officer, the Jewish Leadership Council.

We

Unlike
the thousands of people who have been suspended in the past two years, often
for nothing more than an innocent tweet or remark taken out of context, Mr
Newmark is alleged to have stolen or misappropriated thousands of pounds of charitable
monies. The cover up of this alleged
theft is now the subject of a Charity Commission investigation.[3]

Charity Commission over Newmark allegations]

Mr
Newmark, in his role as Chair of the JLM, has been the driving force in the
suspension or expulsion of people on the grounds of ‘anti-Semitism’. Barely three weeks ago Jeremy Newmark was publicly
criticising the Labour Party for failing to expel Jackie Walker, Marc Wadsworth, Tony Greenstein, Ken Livingstone and other members on the grounds of
‘anti-Semitism’. Jewish Labour group accuses party of failing to act
on antisemitism complaints

Given the high public profile of Mr Newmark and his propensity
for demanding disciplinary action against other members of the Labour Party we feel
that it is only fair that Mr Newmark should be treated in the same way as his
many victims. We are therefore making a
formal complaint against Mr Newmark for having brought the party into disrepute
and we expect that you will suspend him immediately from membership in order
that we can avoid further damaging headlines.
