Defend Moshe Machover – the Victim of the Zionists’ Invented Anti-Semitism

Iain McNicoll, the devious trickster at the heart of Labour’s machine |
Dear Iain McNicol,
Professor Moshe Machover, an Israeli
anti-Zionist, was expelled from the Labour Party this week, the victim of a
malicious allegation of anti-Semitism. Such basic concepts as natural justice and
the right to a hearing were denied under the police state regime that you preside
over. Although the letter was signed by
Sam Matthews, Labour’s Head of Disputes, I prefer to address the organ grinder rather than the monkey.

You have spent the past two
years trying to overthrow Jeremy Corbyn. Last year, after trying to keep Jeremy
off the ballot paper you were responsible for the suspension of thousands of
Labour Party members in a failed attempt to rig the vote.

The reaction by the German Zionist Federation newspaper, Judische Rundschau, to the Nuremberg Laws was favorable |
This year you ensured that socialist
candidates in Tory marginals were denied any help or resources. Without you we may have had a Labour government
today.

As solicitor Martin Howe wrote
to you last year, ‘Who is it who is
instructing you to carry out the actions you intend? Who has suggested to you that the legal
advice that the Labour Party has received is to be kept hidden or ignored.’

The Jewish Chronicle revealed that Iain McNicol had been given a warm reception by the Zionists for the way the ‘antisemitism’ issue had been handled |
The answer to that question was provided
by the Jewish Chronicle when it reported from
the Labour Friends of Israel rally that ‘The warmest welcome at the event was
reserved for Iain McNicol, Labour’s general secretary’.
The Zionist lobby have much to be grateful to you for. In pursuing false allegations of anti-Semitism
against Labour Party members, you deliberately handed the Tory tabloids a stick
to beat the Labour Party with.

Despite a non-stop barrage of invective against anti-Semitism, Labour conference was overwhelmingly in favour of the Palestinians |
Isn’t it strange that the same Tory press that
never ceases to demonise asylum seekers or migrants is up in arms about ‘anti-Semitism’
in the Labour Party? Just look at the
past week’s headlines:

The Daily Express led with Labour’s anti-Semitism SHAME: Activists call for expulsion of Jewish
groups from party. Richard Littlejohn, who vies with Katy
Hopkins as the most racist journalist, wrote in the Mail, the paper
that used to support Hitler Once in the shadows, anti-Semitism is now
entrenched at the poisoned heart of the Labour Party and even the Sun, that well known anti-racist paper, informed
us that Theresa
May slams Jeremy Corbyn for letting ‘anti-Semitism, misogyny and hatred run
free’ in Labour .

If
irony is lost on the Sun it is not alone. Have you or your minions ever pondered the
absurdity of non-Jews expelling Jewish anti-racists for ‘anti-Semitism’? Matthews stated in the expulsion letter that ‘direct attacks or pejorative language which
may cause offence to Jewish people is not acceptable.’ The question is which Jewish people? Zionist or anti-Zionist?

Free speech means nothing if you
don’t have the right to give offence. Wasn’t
that the lesson of Charlie Hebdo or do you find that too difficult for you to
comprehend? If Zionists take offence at
anti-racism or anti-Zionism then that is tough.

Expulsion Letter |
You are also reinstating the
very clauses that were excised from the Jewish Labour Movement rule
change. The JLM wanted the ‘victim’ to
decide whether or not a racial incident had occurred.

change. The JLM wanted the ‘victim’ to

The JLM also took offence at Moshe
quoting Himmler’s Deputy, Reinhardt Heydrich, that he was ‘in agreement with the great spiritual
movement within Jewry itself, Zionism.’ Moshe was
quoting from a book by Francis Nicosia, Professor of Holocaust Studies at
Vermont University, in his book Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany. They also took offence at the quote from the German Zionist newspaper Judische
Rundschau, which alone amongst German Jews welcomed the Nuremberg Laws.
Since when is telling the truth anti-Semitic?

In expelling Moshe Machover, a
renowned intellectual and academic, for questioning the trite and arid clichés
of Labour’s Zionist Right, you are no different from the book burners of yesterday.
You and your apparatchiks are waging a war on freedom of expression and criticism
of Zionism and Israel using McCarthyite tactics of guilt by association.

Moshe’s crime was to speak at
the Communist University 2016 and to write for Weekly Worker. If your minion
Matthews had done his homework then he would have known that I too am guilty of
this crime having spoken with Moshe both last year and this year. Only this
week I have written an article in WW opposing your McCarthyist witchhunt.

Before you upgrade my 18 months
suspension to an expulsion you might break the habit of a lifetime, sit down
and think about the implications of this.
If writing or speaking for another party is an offence, then you will be
able to achieve your ambition by expelling Jeremy Corbyn, since he was a
columnist of the Morning Star for 10 years!

It is part of the socialist and
labour movement tradition that people speak on all sorts of platforms, debate and
write for all manner of papers. The real
crime is when Labour MPs write for the Mail and the Sun, our political enemies.

The real reason for the
expulsion of Machover and your suspension of Jackie Walker and myself is that we
are Jewish anti-Zionists. For non-Jews to expel Jews for anti-Semitism is in
itself anti-Semitic. It is as if, during the Apartheid era the Labour Party had
expelled White anti-Apartheid South Africans because they caused offence to White
supporters of Apartheid. As Archbishop
Desmond the Tutu Nobel Peace Prize winner said
in the Jerusalem Post:

black South Africans who were corralled and harassed and insulted and assaulted
by the security forces of the apartheid government. Those who turn a blind eye
to injustice actually perpetuate injustice.

Israel is a state where racism is embedded into its
DNA. Israel’s Education Ministry recently
banned a book on the high school English syllabus because it was seen as
encouraging relationships between Arabs and Jews. As in Nazi Germany, mixed marriages are illegal
in Israel. Novel about Jewish-Palestinian love affair is barred
from Israeli curriculum

Your attempt to renew the witch
hunt has only one purpose. To undermine Labour at the very time when it is ahead
in the opinion polls. You have outlived
your purpose and it is time to seek your reward from your Zionist friends and
Britain’s secret state.
