Say no to the victimisation of Black activists at the behest of the world’s only Apartheid State, Israel
Veteran anti-racist campaigner Marc Wadsworth is one of the many members of the Labour Party who have been unjustly suspended from the Labour Party. The National Kangaroo (Constitutional) Committee will decide next Wednesday if Marc should be expelled from the party. Judging by previous cases he can expect no justice.
Marc was first expelled and then readmitted only to be suspended after the launch of the Chakrabarti Report at a press conference 30th June 2016.
When Marc questioned why Labour MP Ruth Smeeth seemed to be trading information with that well known Labour supporting paper, the Daily Telegraph, he was immediately accused of ‘anti-Semitism’ on the prompting of Kevin Schofield, an ex-Sun journalist. Marc was making the point about how few Black faces there were at a Press Conference that was supposed to be about racism in the Labour Party.
Although Marc had never, at any time, referred to Ruth Smeeth as Jewish, because he didn’t know that she was Jewish, Smeeth immediately got up on her hind legs screeching ‘how dare you, how dare you’ as if she had been embarrassed by her Black servant in front of polite company. Immediately the lies started. Marc had mentioned the press, therefore it was a ‘trope’ about Jewish control of the media. That is how these people work.

This week Smeeth has been the ‘hero’ of the false ‘anti-Semitism’ debate in the House of Commons. The Tories held the debate in order to give an opportunity to the Labour Right - Smeeth, John Mann and Luciana Berger – to attack their own leader Jeremy Corbyn. It was a Tory-Labour Right love fest. Smeeth read out 10 messages of ‘abuse’ she had received. Only 1 was explicitly anti-Semitic and all of them revolved around her support for the Israeli state.
It is unfortunate and unacceptable that some people react to support for the self-styled ‘Jewish’ state by resorting to anti-Semitism but the blame rests firmly with those who imply that Israel is acting on behalf of all Jews.

Smeeth is a senior officer in the Jewish Labour Movement. The JLM is the British wing of the Israeli Labour Party, a Jewish supremacist, segregationist party responsible for the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. It is a Zionist party which supports Benjamin Netanyahu’s attempt to deport 40,000 Black African refugees from Israel.
Smeeth is an ardent Zionist. Her allegations of 'anti-semitism' against Marc Wadsworth are a smear whose real purpose is to undermine the Corbyn leadership of the Labour Party and to outlaw criticism of the world’s only apartheid state. It has nothing whatsoever to do with anti-Semitism.

| Stephen Lawrence |
As viewers of BBC 1’s documentary on Stephen Lawrence will have seen this week, Marc was an integral part of the campaign to uncover the truth about who killed Stephen and to hold the Metropolitan Police to account.
Thanks to the long campaign, two of his killers, Gary Dobson and David Norris, were eventually gaoled. The MacPherson Inquiry which was held labelled the Metropolitan Police institutionally racist. Despitehaving played no part whatsoever in this campaign the JLM attempted to hijack and pervert the conclusions of this Inquiry to suggest that Jewish Zionists, i.e. the supporters of settler colonialism, should be allowed to define themselves as victims of ‘anti-Semitism’ even though Jews in this country, unlike Black and Asian people, do not suffer from state or Police racism. In other words Jews who are Zionist and who object to criticism of Israel can then turn around and say they are a ‘victim’.

This is identity politics gone mad. Imagine what use might have been made of this nonsense if White Afrikaaners had taken advantage of it. They could have proclaimed themselves the victim when people criticised Apartheid. Indeed that is what the National Front and BNP tried to do with their 'Rights for Whites' campaigns.

At the moment the false anti-Semitism campaign is in full cry. It was started off by another professional Israel supporter, Luciana Berger MP who produced out of a hat a 6 year old Facebook post by Jeremy Corbyn concerning a mural in the East End that was alleged to be anti-Semitic. Berger and Smeeth’s main concerns are for the Israeli state rather than their constituents. Smeeth has been exposed by Wikileaks as a source for the US Embassy.

This lobby is extremely important. It is high time that we derailed this campaign of destabilisation aimed at Corbyn. It is a tragedy that Momentum, 40,000 strong – is actually aiding and abetting the witchhunt with the active connivance of Jon Lansman.
Please come along to the Lobby and make your voice heard: Solidarity with Marc!
Wes Streeting ‘shouts in Dianne Abbott’s face’ and arranges march against ‘Windrush child’
Centrist MP for Ilford North Wes Streeting's week has resulted in him being accused of having 'questions to answer' about a 'worrying pattern of behaviour'.
Streeting has clashed twice with Labour front-bencher Diane Abbott - and has sent an email inviting colleagues and others to join him next week in a show of strength against a black Labour activist and 'Windrush child'.

On Tuesday, she had just spoken in a parliamentary debate - about personal abuse she has received, the seriousness with which Labour treats the issue of antisemitism and the measures the party is taking to combat it. Ms Abbott also made a number of points that the Haredi Jewish community had asked her to raise - and for which the community praised her later.
As Home Secretary Amber Rudd began to respond, Streeting made an intervention - to side against his own party - and against Abbott's representations on behalf of the Jewish community in her constituency.

Mr Streeting wasn't finished. In a parliamentary corridor, Streeting is alleged to have literally shouted in Ms Abbott's face, standing toe to toe with her and screaming 'not my party!', in front of a number of onlookers.
Witnesses described Streeting's behaviour as so intimidating that he had to be physically steered away from the Labour front-bencher.

Marc Wadsworth is a veteran black Labour activist. He featured in the BBC's documentary about Stephen Lawrence, "Stephen, the murder that changed a nation" this week, when he was seen introducing Stephen's mother Doreen to the late South African president Nelson Mandela.
Wadsworth was suspended by the party last year after challenging Labour MP Ruth Smeeth at the launch of the Chakrabarti report, who then walked out of the meeting.
Ms Smeeth quoted Wadsworth as accusing her of a 'media conspiracy', a well-known antisemitic trope, but video evidence showed that Wadsworth had not said that.
His exact words were:
I saw that the Telegraph handed a copy of a press release to Ruth Smeeth MP so you can see who is working hand in hand. If you look around this room, how many African, Caribbean and Asian people are there? We need to get our house in order, don't we?
Wadsworth's complaint was about the lack of representation for BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) people - an issue he continues to fight for in spite of his suspension, as he was instrumental in the recent launch of the Grassroots Black Leftgroup.
Wadsworth was initially summarily expelled from the Labour Party but reinstated and suspended after his lawyers wrote to Labour’s compliance unit pointing out that it had acted unlawfully and not in accordance with the party’s rules.
Neither the expulsion letter nor the suspension notification mentioned allegations of antisemitism – that charge was added over six months later, in January 2017.
Since then, he has remained suspended – in spite of a public letter of support printed in the Guardian from twelve prominent supporters including black and Jewish activists - and Wadsworth has felt so severely attacked that he felt compelled to crowdfund to have full legal representation at his disciplinary hearing next week.
In the same week as his issues with Diane Abbott, Wes Streeting sent the following message to parliamentary colleagues:
Apologies for the impersonal message, but I wonder if I can enlist you to provide some practical moral support for our friend and colleague Ruth Smeeth next Wednesday morning (25th April)?
She is giving evidence against Mark Wadsworth - the guy who abused her at the antisemitism inquiry launch- and we expect there to be a protest outside against her.
To give Ruth some moral support and solidarity, I am assembling a group of Labour MPs and Peersin Westminster Hall at 940am. We will then walk with Ruth to Church House nearby. We won’t be allowed in with her, but I can’t tell you how much a strong turnout will mean to her - and how much better it would be if we outnumber the protesters.
So, if you can make it let me know by email or text.
Wednesday 25th April
940am
Westminster Hall
940am
Westminster Hall
Thanks for your support,
Wes Streeting
Readers will judge for themselves whether the video above of Wadsworth's challenge to Ms Smeeth constitutes 'abuse'.
But while it is clear that noabuse of Ms Smeeth en route to the hearing can be condoned, Streeting's email also represents an attempt to counter demonstrations in support of a suspended black activist's attempt to clear his name of allegations he insists are unfounded.
Wadsworth told the SKWAWKBOX:
It's ironic that in this week of media attention on the Tories' abuse of the Windrush generation, I find Wes trying to organise a parliamentary protest against me, in spite of the evidence.
My dad came to this country from Jamaica at his own expense during World War Two to join the RAF to fight against the nazis. He went back in 1946 but then came back to the UK on the Windrush in 1948 - I'm a Windrush child.
Given his two or three tweets this week condemning the government's treatment of the Windrush generation, I'd have hoped Wes would be supporting a Windrush descendant who's fighting for the representation of black and Asian people in the Labour Party, but it seems that's not going to happen.
Taken together with his clashes with Diane Abbott this week, it represents a worrying pattern of behaviour and Wes has questions to answer.
The SKWAWKBOX contacted Mr Streeting for comment. At the time of publication, he had not responded.
