Golders Green Together Facebook
page could have been written by the BNP and Britain First
The Centre for Islamic
Enlightening bought up the Golders Green Hipperdrome, a former BBC concert
hall, in the heart of Golders Green, in July.
Golders Green contains the highest concentration of Jews in any area of London
– some 37% are Jewish compared to 26% Christian and 12% Muslims.
You might think that Jews, with
their experience of racism, would welcome another religious minority seeking to
establish a centre alongside them. Think
again. Today’s Jews seem to have learnt
nothing from the Jewish experience of racism.

Led by outright racists such as Zionist
activist Ambrosine Yolanda Shitrit, who is usually to be found demonstrating
alongside Paul Besser of the neo-Nazi Britain First, a group called Golders Green Together was formed to
oppose the plans. A look at their
Facebook page gives you an indication of their politics.

Racism and Islamaphobia – the Elephant in the Room of British Jewry
Golders
Green Together [GGT] was formed last year as an anti-racist group to
oppose a small demonstration by neo-Nazis led by one Joshua
Bonehill-Paine in Golders Green. The
demonstration was later moved by the Police to Central London. Now a bunch of Zionist racists and Jewish
(& non-Jewish) Islamaphobes have taken over the name and subverted.

What is common to these people
is that their fervent Zionism. They take
their cue from Israel’s hostility to Muslims and Arabs. Israel is an object of
veneration by European and American fascists because it is seen as the ideal
anti-Muslim state. In Israel what is
termed the ‘Jewish State’ is openly racist.
Legislation such as the recent Muezzin
Law outlaws the Muslim call to prayer.
Last year the Northern Muslim League, a group with a large degree of
support amongst Israel’s Palestinian minority, was banned
by the government without even a pretence that it had broken any law.

reservoir of anti-Semitism stating
openly that ‘it has long been
suspected that sections of the British Muslim population harboured hatred

The Reaction
of the Jewish Establishment
of the Jewish Establishment
With the Affair of the Golders
Green Mosque, the Jewish establishment has reacted with something approaching
horror to the racist base they are sitting on and have, up to now, encouraged. Forget the nonsense about anti-Semitism
causing only 13% of British Jews to vote Labour. The real reason, which has been analysed by
Jewish academics such as Geoffrey Alderman and William Rubinstein, is that they
have climbed the socio-economic ladder.
Couple this with the support of many Jews for Israeli settler
colonialism (59% declare they are Zionists according to the Attitudes
of British Jews to Israel survey in 2015) and what you see is White racist supremacy in the heartland of British Jewry.

Both the Jewish

against the racist campaign against the mosque.
This is to be welcomed but both papers have distinguished themselves by
their uncritical support of Israel, its apartheid structures and its
demonization of Arabs and Muslims.

| The ‘liberal kapos’ is a new one! |
The Jewish News, to its credit
said that they had refused to take a paid advert from the GGT hate
mongers. They also said that they had
had to delete many ‘vile’ messages on the Internet including being called
‘kapos’, the Zionist term of abuse for anti-Zionists, which equates them with
Jewish concentration camp guards. The
term was poplarised by David Friedman, Donald Trump’s bankruptcy lawyer and now
US Ambassador in Israel.

It is a rich irony that those
who have been peddling Zionist race hate for so many years have now become
victims of that hate! The same Zionists
who regularly called Jewish anti-Zionists ‘kapos’ ‘self-haters’ ‘traitors’ are
now turning their fire on those of their comrades who aren’t willing to walk
that extra racist mile in the fight against a Mosque. After all where did those associations
between Muslims and terrorism come from if not Israel and its associates?

Local Rabbi Goldsmith made the
point that the current reactions to a mosque are similar to the reaction to
Jews when, in the 1920’s they moved to Golders Green. Laura Marks of the
Holocaust Memorial Day Trust asked whether there would have been a similar
reaction to a Christian centre moving to Golders Green and of course the answer
is ‘no’ there wouldn’t.

The reaction to the Mosque is
driven by what one might call the activist wing of the Zionist movement –
people like Jonathan Hoffman, Ambrosina Shitrit etc. The horrified reaction of the Jewish
Establishment is a product of its own work.
Year after year they have poured out vile propaganda against Arabs and
Palestinians. They have defended every
racist action of the Israeli state and proclaimed that Israel’s murderous
attacks on Gaza were an act of peace. Is
it any wonder that many Jews have assimilated the message that you can’t trust
Muslims or Arabs? These establishment worthies
have gone along with everything Netanyahu has done and defended his demolition
of homes, houses and even his call to Israeli Jews to vote because the Arabs
are voting in droves. The values of Zionism
have seeped into the subconscious of British Jews and the petition to Barnet
Council is the result.

in a report by the JTA as saying that ‘“There is a concern around this very
divisive issue….There is concern about Muslim anti-Semitism.” Hoffman went on to say that his
comments don’t mean he personally opposes the new Centre, but merely that he
understands both sides of the debate.

No doubt if there was a neo-Nazi
campaign against a synagogue he would also ‘understand both sides of the debate’. This comes from someone who has never understood the Palestinian side of the debate as he shouted down his opponents.
