Outrage as Glyn Secker, Secretary of Jewish Voice for Labour, is Suspended for ‘anti-Semitism’

If anyone should be suspended it should be those in Labour Friends of Israel and Jewish Labour Movement who justify the murder, the torture and imprisonment of children.  It is people like Louise Ellman MP who justifiedthe shackling and ill-treatment of Palestinian children in a debate in the House of Commons who should have long ago been expelled.  Instead Jewish members who oppose the house demolitions, the removal of residency and all the thousand and one other evils that Palestinians experience who are being disciplined.  These are the people who are feeding anti-Semitism.  It is the Mike Katzes, the Jeremy Newmarks, the Ella Roses and all the other propagandists on behalf of the Israeli Embassy who should have been shown the door.

What makes it worse was that it was the so-called left trade unionists who voted for the suspension of Glyn Secker.  So frightened are they of accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’, even against someone who is Jewish, that they took the word of Blairite witchhunter Sam Matthews, Head of Disputes, without even bothering to question the prejudices of the same Labour Party staff who when Corbyn was first elected wore black in protest.  Those on Labour’s Disputes Committee who voted for the suspension of Glyn Secker must be out of their tiny minds.

We can understand that Margaret Backett, Tom Watson and Jasmine Beckett would vote for the suspension of anyone who so much as whispers ‘boo’ at the Apartheid State of Israel, but how do we explain the votes of the deadwood that make up the trade union representatives on the Committee?  They are a good example of the stupidity of trade union bureaucrats – they fail to see the connection between the industrial and the political. The attack by Israel’s supporters on Palestinian supporters has been clever, mood music to quote Len McLuskey.  It hasn’t been about anti-Semitism as Jew hatred but ‘new anti-Semitism’ – i.e. hatred of racism and apartheid.

The 'evidence' of anti-semitism is contained in social media posts of Glynn.  This pathetic trawling of what people say on social media is supposed to have been outlawed by the Chakrabarti Inquiry but it is still allowed by the NEC which, together with Corbyn, lacks the backbone or the guts to put a stop to this nonsense.

What makes this worse is that Labour's outgoing General Secretary, Crooked Iain McNicol, has steadfastly refused to suspend Jeremy Newmark, former Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement, who is alleged to have defrauded a Jewish charity of thousands of pounds money and who is the subject of a police investigation by the Jewish Labour Movement for having defrauded them of money.  All this is a 'private' matter and 'historic'. 

All of the major unions represented have policy in favour of the Palestinians – Unite, CWU, UNISON even the right-wing GMB.  Does it take that much brainpower to work out that defenders of Israel, the instigators of the anti-Semitism witchhunt, have used ‘anti-Semitism’ as a weapon against opponents of Israel because it is very hard justifying the torture and sexual abuse of children?  Is it that hard for Dianne Holland and Jennie Formby of UNITE to get into their thick heads that instead of defending the demolition of Palestinian homes and the destruction of schools and solar panels, that it easier to shout ‘anti-Semitism’?

These dolts seem to find it difficult to understand that when Zionist propagandists regularly say that ‘anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism’ they actually mean it.  To Zionists any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic.  Therefore it is likely that when Jews are accused of ‘anti-Semitism’ in the Labour Party by Israel’s supporters the chances are that it doesn’t involve hatred of Jews but hatred of Jewish racism.

I understand that 7 of the 9 constituency representatives, including Jon Lansman and Christine Shawcroft, but not including Anne Black and Rhea Wolfson, voted against referring the cases of Glyn Secker and two others to the National Constitutional Committee:

These are the guilty people on the ‘left’ who once again stabbed the Palestinians in the back by supporting the Zionist narrative that support for the Palestinians and opposition to Zionism is ‘anti-Semitic’:

Jennie Formby          Unite (is understood to have been absent during the crucial vote but she normally vote to support the Compliance Unit’s recommendations)

No formal minutes of the NEC meetings are distributed and so I’m happy to be corrected regarding the above but it is my understanding that all the Trade Union reps were either present and voting or diplomatically absent.

What is particularly staggering about this is that it was only at last September’s Labour Party Conference that JVL was formally launched as a non-Zionist alternative to the pro-Israel Jewish Labour Movement, a group which is the British representative of the overtly racist and segregationist Israeli Labour Party.

Len Mcluskey General Secretary of Unite and Tosh McDonald, General Secretary of ASLEF both attended the JVL fringe meeting and promised to secure the affiliation of their unions to JVL.  McLuskey talked about the false anti-Semitism allegations as ‘mood music’ in the Labour Party. Now it seems that UNITE representatives on Labour’s NEC have voted against what Len was saying.

Below is a poem which speaks volumes about the mentality of those who, on Labour’s National Executive Committee, voted to suspend a good anti-racist comrade.
