Apologies. I know this is shocking to read but it needs saying. An Olympic Athlete was held hostage. He had his penis cut off and fed to him. He was then murdered.

was at a wreath laying ceremony for the man responsible. This is not a man of peace
Hey
@STWuk
can you tell me when the demonstration is outside the Russian Embassy. I’d like to show my solidarity with the people of Ukraine under siege. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
@vivafalastin
Yeah bet it was a blast. It’s the piece missing from my childhood where I was grabbed at gunpoint and separated from my parents for over 40 days
For second time in two days I have received threat of legal action from a Labour MP for speaking up about anti-semitism. I am not afraid. I will not be bullied by those who have been too cowardly to speak up, take action and have courtesy to speak to Cllrs of their own party.
Where to begin with this disgusting Pesach video from Jeremy Corbyn. This message is not for Jews, it is for those that want to be re-assured in the Corbyn project but who now rightly morally question it /1
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tania, a young Jewish Labour member, to discuss the meaning of Passover.
I wish Jewish communities in Britain and across the world Chag Sameach.
#Passover
#Pesach
1/ Two weeks ago I and my friend and comrade Natan Doron broke our silence on a level of anti-semitism in Haringey Labour Parties. Yesterday I spoke again on WATO ahead of rally. The key is this is institutional. Today's Tottenham Facebook page beggars belief as proof of this....
Aside from not understanding how select committees work... Tobias Ellwood gave CPR to a police officer who was bleeding out after the terrorist attack on Parliament. You demonstrate you aren’t fit to share a chamber with him
It’s been a while since I posted anything meaningful on Twitter. I have at last decided it is time to leave the party. Tom’s words helped me realise it was time. My letter below
I apologise unreservedly to the Jewish community for my comments which were deeply offensive, ignorant, and false. Hamas’ horrific terror attack was the responsibility of Hamas alone, and they are still holding hostages who must be released.
Jeremy Corbyn chose to go to Seder night with Jewdas - fringe community group whose Pesach greeting to the community was and I quote “Enough is enough. Fuck you all” The man has no shame
My twitter feed has become so horrific - I have taken the decision to decouple my Twitter Feed from Facebook. It was an ultimate humiliation having to explain to my father why I was still a Labour Party member in the face of such abuse. This will be my last Facebook tweet.
The work I led as ward Councillor with the support of officers,
Claire Kober, Shmuel Davidsohn and Modche Grosskopf once again getting the rightful acclaim. Let me explain the rationale….
Intensification in South Tottenham. Since 2010 the council has allowed houses to add 1.5 storeys subject to a strict design code, after sustained local advocacy. Uptake has been high: in a generation the whole area will be 3.5 storeys. Might this be useful for other communities?
I do not understand how this is not an automatic suspension from the party. Son of Jeremy Corbyn's close ally avoids jail after smuggling £2,500 of drugs into festival | Daily Mail Online /
John McDonnell has some front criticising Tony Blair when he has never had to make an important decision in his whole life because he made Labour unelectable
Blair has some front criticising Biden when along with Bush he was responsible for the greatest loss of civilian life in war in the twenty first century. I also recall when he sent troops into Afghanistan he implied it would be a short lived exercise.Liar or imbecile or both?
Jeremy Corbyn should be offered no special favours or treatment. We are the party of equality and that means we must be the party of equals. He must face investigation by the party and if the party processes are not institutionally anti-Semitic he will be suspended from the Party
The thing that really struck me about the Corbyn/Neil interview was the piece about Holocaust Denial. Corbyn says it is unacceptable but just a few days ago worked with Ken Loach on Arts for Labour who says Holocaust is open to debate.
#AllYouNeedToKnow
Sorry for the long thread - but sometimes what are simple questions do not come with simple answers. Here I will try to honestly explain how many social homes the HDV will deliver.../1
For those in doubt we end the Seder night by saying l’shana haba yerushalayim. - next year in Jerusalem. We have been saying this for thousands of years. It is only in the last 70 years that this dream has become a possible reality. /9
Can
@HaringeyLabour
please explain why they have allowed anti-Semite (as determined by the national party and LCF) Shahab Mosavaat to attend in their leadership hustings?
You did not call out Raeed Saleh - you shared a platform with him; you did not call out Stephen Sizer on Holocaust denial - u wrote him a character reference. U did not call out immediately Burgon, Ken or Chris Williamson /4
Have just been informed that London Region have confirmed Momentum backed candidate for Highgate Shahab Mossavat was not fit to remain on panel after anti-Semitic tweet. Await news on his membership.
Huge punch in the face for
@peoplesmomentum
politics in Haringey and its anti-semitism. 2014 gains being pushed back - and decisive swing on 2017 GE vote. /1
Only you Jeremy could try to get deep on Passover and fail to acknowledge our oppression, and our liberation as Jews and our nation - Israel. It is why we have no confidence in you to lead the party /7
Only a party that thinks it won an election when it lost, could think that removing 4 examples from 11, (leaving 7), is in fact adding to a definition.

Recently Owen Jones unblocked me

@Hounslow_Labour
could we have an answer? This candidate you are promoting is an antisemite, but, you appear to be doing nothing, despite him comparing “Zionists to Nazis” and saying “Zionists are committing a “holocaust” - both breaches of the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
It simply beggars belief to be accused of doxxing - when I have been a victim of this, as has Claire Kober. In tlatter case there was call 4 demonstration outside her home. This is MOMENTUM politics people. Speak up, Get Bullied, be accused of bullying, stand ground. get abused
More victim blaming. And how about you start with your own organisation such as Haringey branch who organised a demonstration against a motion opposing anti-semitism
"The actions of others do not reduce our responsibility to challenge antisemitism whenever and wherever it occurs." - A statement from Momentum's National Coordinating Group.
But for the worst of this is to go through a whole 5 minutes on Passover. The video is right Passover is about asking questions. Questions of how we might be free. But that question also has a clear answer. It is Israel. It is Zionism - our liberation movement. /6
You are a rabid and misguided communist who is out of touch with ordinary working people. If we never hear from you again it will be too soon. This is on you Ash
We couldn't overcome the Brexit culture war. I'm so sorry, to everyone who fought like lions til the close of polls. The movement continues, and we keep on keeping on tomorrow.
Here's who would have made it to the ballot under a 25% nomination threshold:
[2020]
✅Starmer (42%)
❌RLB (16%)
❌Nandy (15%)
[2015]
✅Burnham (29%)
✅Cooper (25.4%)
❌Kendall (18%)
❌Corbyn (16%)
[2010]
✅David (32%)
❌Ed (24.5%)
❌Abbott (13%)
❌Balls (13%)
❌Burnham (13%)
So say it ain't so Aditya. Say you haven't presented a false picture of yourself to advance your polemic. I'll accept at face value. But if you have - then I hope it was worth it - for a bit of copy at the expense of housing improvement people so desperately needed. /25
It’s been a long long time since a Union leader decided to attack a whole ethnic minority. Surely this is in contravention of the aims and the objectives of the TUC.
@FrancesOGrady

You then say this is just about social media. It is not. It is in our GCs and branch meetings. It is in demonstrations organised by
@PeoplesMomentum
against action on anti-semitism/5
Thing is Thomas Gardiner and Claudia Webbe were sent to Haringey by leaders office to ensure Momentumites - anti-Semitic or not - got waved through. Did they ask Charley Allen about his defence of term Zio when the party had already written to him. These questions must be answerd
I have to say many of these signatories have some brass neck to sign this letter given their complicity with the culture of antisemitism in the Labour Party
Sad to have just received this letter.
I will not be silenced by
@UKLabour
MPs who continue to dismiss the contributions of those who don't conform to their view of how ethnic minorities should behave.
Firstly let’s move beyond the here is me with my Jewish friend - I can’t possibly be an anti-Semite and straight on to your own failure. Let’s start with your own standards laid out in this video /2
The invitation of Chris Williamson - an apologist for anti-semitism in our party - to Haringey manifesto conference sends a very clear message to Jews in our borough. It explains why i was unable to attend.
How many times must Corbyn be exposed as a complete apologist for anti-Semitism before people finally realise he is unfit to lead our party never mind our country
If Jeremy Corbyn is serious about taking action he will suspend Chris Williamson from the PLP today for promoting and sharing a platform with Jackie Walker and for continuously attacking the victims of anti-semitism within the party.
What I learnt at last night's Crouch End Labour Party meeting
1) There's no antisemitism
2) It's all a smear
3) I'm wrong
4) It's perfectly reasonable to devote 75m of a two-hour meeting to talking about Jews
What I didn't learn:
1) Why our ward just lost all 3 Labour seats
The problem people don't seem to grasp is the point has passed for many where the continued shambles of a Tory government is no longer more daunting than a Labour Party riddled with anti-semitism. Corbyn, Milne, McLuskey, and Forby only have themselves to blame for this. Disgrace
This is appalling.
@CatherineWest1
this is your CLP. There is nothing benign about this. This is jew-Baiting. You must call this out or you are complicit.
@DavidLammy
I understand you live in Stroud Green. You too have a duty to call this out.

@SG_Labour
, the second largest (I think), Labour branch in the country will be discussing tonight in their antisemitism forum in the White Lion. Sweet Jesus. There are no words for this. The branch needs suspending.

@LabourAgainstAS
On anti-semitism in the Labour Party I wrote this 3 years ago. THREE YEARS AGO!!!! THREE!!!! I believe it was the first whistle from an elected Jewish Labour politician Read it! READ IT! /1
@pastsellby
Conspiracy theories about "Rothschilds Zionists" running "Israel and world governments" are not a criticism of Israel or Zionism. They are antisemitism, as propagated by antisemites worldwide for decade upon decade.
I have just caught up on the Liverpool situation. What is clear from the report is there has been a massive failure in quality processes. In this case it appears to be with regards to planning and regeneration. /1
If this is true this is absolutely disgusting. A member who defends the use of the anti-Semitic term “Zio” saying it isn’t anti-Semitic will be put on the national payroll
Hey
@joedgoldberg
have you heard that Charley Allen is about to be gifted the Haringey Borough Organiser job? Not good to be putting a massive stoner (& arguable anti-semite) into that post. As bad as giving Will Armston-Sheret the Political Assistant job...
The fact this interview is taking place in Haringey where the local labour parties are a vipers nest of Corbynista anti-semitism and tolerance of hate materials - and MPs have refused to speak out about it tells you everything you need to know about the context for this interview
The Labour leadership have allowed a culture of antisemitism, obfuscation and denial to take hold of the Party. Our National Secretary
@_petermason
sets out why
@tom_watson
is right to get involved
Empty words when you have been found to oppose the term “Holocaust” in HMD, when you continue to allow Chris Williamson to sit in the PLP, and when u sit in a room and do nothing whilst Willsman dismisses rabbonim as Trump fanatics
Earlier this week I was forced to clarify that
@JewishLabour
do not advocate and will not tolerate people meddling with what is now an established definition of anti-semitism.

6/ Amazingly and of course by coincidence
@peoplesmomentum
in Haringey shared exactly the same post. This is not that surprising since whilst last night Jews were calling for solidarity Momentum passed a motion condemned "complaints of anti-semitism"
This is
@charleyallan
- deemed fit by
@UKLabour
to be fit to stand in Crouch End ward Haringey in forthcoming local elections. He doesn't think using the term "Zio" is anti-semitic. Here he is saying he doesn't think Ken's comments were anti-semitism /1
I have asked all Haringey Labour Leader contenders their views on anti-semitism - they have declined to respond. Given the message sent to our Party this week I wonder if any of them will comment at tonight’s hustings
Worst defence ever. Like saying I go to these parties all the time. Just so happens loads of people there wear white hoods - sure I talk to them but u know doesn’t make me a....
This Corbyn Facebook group stuff is the stupidest smear I’ve ever seen. Just looked at Facebook groups I’m in which include Labour for legalising marijuana (of course they should), people get dragged into all sorts of groups. Give me a break!

7/ Next in the queue is Phil Rose - former Chair of - you guessed it Haringey Momentum. He shares a letter in which a) suggests the rise in anti-semitism isn't serious because "accounts (of a/s) aren’t of physical attacks on Jewish owned buildings or communities.
