Sign the Petition to Labour’s National Executive Committee
Stop the Expulsion of Tony Greenstein, Jackie Walker & Marc Wadsworth
‘most of the people who have been suspended from the Labour Party seem to be Jewish’Alexei Sayle Sky TV interview

 

Please sign thepetitionbelow.  The Right, led by Iain McNicol, Labour’s detested General Secretary, the Compliance Unit and Sam Matthews aided by Anne Black Chair of the Disputes Committee, are determined to restart the False Anti-Semitism Witch-hunt.
Even the Daily Express, takes time out from attacking asylum seekers and migrants in order to oppose 'anti-Semitism'
Why is it false and faked?  Because you only have to look at who supports it.  
If the Labour Party were overrun by anti-Semitism does anyone seriously think that the Daily Mail, the Sun and the Tory tabloids would be concerned?  Why is it that the most racist newspapers in Britain are ‘concerned’ about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party?  How is it that the Daily Mail and the Express, which supported Hitler in the 1930’s, which campaigned against the admission of Jewish refugees from Nazism are now so concerned about ‘anti-Semitism’?  Why is it that those papers that vilify asylum seekers and refugees, which employ columnists like Katie Hopkins and Richard Littlejohn, are concerned about anti-Semitism? 

The anti-Semitism witch-hunt has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. 
Of course there may be a few individuals with anti-Semitic ideas in the Labour Party. Most of them come from a reaction to Zionism’s claim that Jews, all Jews, support what Israel does.  Is it surprising that some people take them at their word?  It would be surprising if, in a party of 600,000 members there was no one with anti-Semitic ideas.

However when we do come across racist ideas the way of tackling them is by means of education and discussion not through expulsions and disciplinary actions.  It should only be in the rarest of cases that people should be expelled for racism. 
Despite this threat of violence by the Jewish Labour Movement's thuggish Director, Ellas Rose, Iain McNicol refused to take any action against her 
If we are going to expel anyone for racism it is Jeremy Newmark, Ella Rose and those who support the world’s only Apartheid state, Israel.  It is the Jewish Labour Movement which consciously supports the racist Israeli Labour Party.  [see Meet Avi Gabbay, Israeli Labour's Racist New Leader]

Labour’s conference at Brighton was a great disappointment to the Right.  Despite 2 years of incessant headlines about ‘anti-Semitism’ delegates were not persuaded that anti-Semitism was a problem in the Labour Party. 

When Corbyn mentioned Palestine delegates were enthusiastic. When Jewish anti-Zionists Naomi Wimborne-Iddrissi and Leah Levane called out this fake anti-Semitism campaign, delegates responded with standing ovations.  The JLM responded with calls for Naomi’s expulsion.

When Moshe Machover’s expulsion was withdrawn, the Jewish Chronicle was immediately informed that the proposed expulsion of Tony Greenstein, Jackie Walker and Marc Wadsworth would proceed.
It is a mystery why Kangaroo courts like the NCC should be named after his lovable creature
On November 2nd I was informed by email that December 11thhad been fixed for my expulsion hearing. At the time I was in hospital. It was not until November 5th, 5 weeks before the proposed hearing, that I signed for the Bundle that constitutes the ‘evidence’ against me. Despite supplying confirmation that I had only just been discharged from hospital, the National Constitutional Committee refused to change the date of my hearing.

I was suspended on March 18th 2016, 20 months ago.  My Investigation Hearing was on May 30th2016, over 17 months ago and yet I was given 5 weeks to prepare a response.  Why?  Because the Right is determined to get the expulsions over as quickly as possible.  They want to move quickly before we can organise.
The next meeting of Labour Against the Witch hunt is on December 2nd
It is our duty to stop them.  The witch hunt isn’t about Jackie, Marc or me – it is about the future direction of the Labour Party.  Is the Right in the Labour Party going to be allowed to pick off socialists in the interests of US Foreign Policy, which is what support for Israel is about? Israel receives more military aid per year ($4 billion) than every other country put together. Support for the alliance with the USA means supporting the world’s only Apartheid State.

We need to stop the witch hunters in their track.  Please sign this petition and share as widely as possible.

Stop the witch-hunt of socialists in the Labour Party - let's turn our fire on the Right

It was for speaking at a meeting of the Communist Party of Great Britain that Moshe Machover was 'auto-excluded' - strangely this is not one of the charges against me!
On 3rd October 2017, Professor Moshe Machover, an Israeli anti-Zionist was ‘auto-excluded’ from the Labour Party. Moshe’s offence was to write an ‘apparently anti-Semitic’article quoting Reinhardt Heydrich in praise of the Zionist movement.  The article itself was true.

Moshe’s principal crime had been to write for Weekly Worker, paper of the Communist Party of Great Britain and speak at their conference. According to Sam Matthews of Labour’s Disputes Committee this indicated support for another organisation.  If Moshe had, like many Labour MPs, written for the Daily Mail or the Sun there would not have been a problem.

Because of the fierce reaction to Moshe’s expulsion, with dozens of Labour Party branches and CLPs passing motions condemning this exercise in McCarthyism, Machover’s expulsion was rescinded. According to Matthew’s ‘logic’ Jeremy Corbyn, a columnist for the Morning Star for 10 years, should also have been expelled! After Labour’s successful conference and its successes in the General Election, members were not prepared to tolerate a renewed witch hunt by Labour’s General Secretary Iain McNicol or the Compliance Unit.

Members have made it very clear that they are sick and tired of supporters of the Palestinians and opponents of Israeli Apartheid being labelled as anti-Semitic. 

McNicol’s witch hunters haven’t given up though. On October 31stthe Jewish Chronicle as a result of a leak from Labour HQ, wrotethat Tony Greenstein, Jackie Walker and Marc Wadsworth were going to be facing expulsion imminently. 

On November 2nd Tony Greenstein, a Jewish anti-Zionist and an active anti-fascist, author of the Fight Against Fascism in Brighton (reviewed here) was informed that he would be going to the National Constitutional Committee within 5 weeks. 

It is over 20 months since Tony was suspended and 17 months since his Investigation Meeting yet the NCC have refused to allow him more time to respond to a 190 page dossier despite having been in hospital when he was notified of the hearing.

Tony has been targeted by the Jewish Labour Movement, ‘sister party’ of the Israeli Labour Party. One charge is posting on his blog ‘offensive and derisory’ comments accusing Louise Ellman MP of being a “supporter of Israeli child abuse”. 

On January 16 2016 there was a debate in the House of Commons on Israel’s treatment of Palestinian children. The debate revolved around a UNICEF Report which recorded that Palestinian children experienced treatment akin to torture as well as sexual abuse. During the debate Ms Ellman intervened three times to justify the Israeli Military’s behaviour in gaoling children as young as 9, using physical coercion and depriving them of access to their parents or a lawyer something no Israeli Jewish child would face.  The military courts trying them have a 99.7% conviction rate.

Tony Greenstein is accused of ‘anti-Semitism’ but his charges relate to his criticism of Israel not Jews. According to Professor Brian Klug of Oxford University ‘antisemitism is a form of hostility to Jews as Jews, where Jews are perceived as something other than what they are.’  Anti-Semitism has nothing to do with criticism of Zionism or Israel.

We demand that the principles of natural justice and due process, as recommended by the Chakrabarti Report, are adhered to and that the proposed expulsions of Tony Greenstein, Jackie Walker and Marc Wadsworth are withdrawn.
