Israeli Professor Moshe Machover is the target of a Renewed Attempt at Expulsion by the Zionist Community Security Trust

The Zionist lobby demonstrates that the primary purpose of the IHRA is to witch-hunt of Jewish critics of Israel

For some strange reason there was no publicity given to this excellent news about the decline in violent incidents against Jews!!
After the 2017 Labour Party Conference, the overwhelming majority of delegates made it clear that their sympathies lay with the Palestinians not the Apartheid State of Israel. The Jewish Labour Movement and Labour Friends of Israel left the Conference with their racist tails between their legs, determined on revenge. They soon alighted on an article by Professor Moshe Machover distributed by Labour Party Marxists entitled ‘Anti-Zionism does not equal Anti-Semitism’. A section on Nazi Collaboration covered certain embarrassing episodes, such as the welcome leading Zionists gave to Hitler, who they saw as vindicating everything they had argued for about the need for Jews and Germans to separate. Moshe mentioned the order of Reinhard Heydrich, Deputy Leader of the SS, stating that the Zionist organisations were to be given preferable treatment. All this and more can be found in e.g. Lucy Dawidowicz’s War Against the Jews.
Moshe also referred to the Zionist welcome for the Nuremburg Laws, “the most murderous legislative instrument known to European history”[Gerald Reitlinger]. The Zionist view that Jews were a separate nation and therefore not part of the German Volk (people) accorded with Nazi beliefs. To most German Jews, the Nuremburg Laws, which stripped them of German citizenship, meant that they were aliens in the country they were born in. 

Although today's Zionists don't like to be reminded of the history of the Zionist movement in the 1930's, it is helpful in explaining the racist ideology of the Israeli state.  On June 21 1933 the German Zionist Federation (ZVfD) sent a memorandum to Hitler.  It read:


On the foundation of the new state, which has established the principle of race... fruitful activity for the fatherland is possible. Our acknowledgement of Jewish nationality provides for a clear and sincere relationship to the German people and its national and racial realities. Precisely because we don’t wish to falsify these fundamentals, because we too are against mixed marriages and are for maintaining the purity of the Jewish group… The realisation of Zionism could only be hurt by resentment of Jews abroad against the German development. Boycott propaganda… is in essence fundamentally unZionist, because Zionism wants not to do battle but to convince and to build.’

 Zionism has come full circle with the passage last week of the Jewish Nation State Law which officially confirmed that Arabs do not have national rights within Israel.  
The CST's predecessor, the Community Security Organisation was heavily criticised by Liberty for barring left-wing Jews from Jewish communal events
Unsurprisingly the JLM saw red (for the first time in its history?!).  At the beginning of October Moshe received a letter from Sam Matthews, notifying him that he had been expelled under Rule 2.1.4.B. for either belonging to or supporting the Communist Party of Great Britain and Labour Party Marxists, which wasn't true. However Matthews had bitten off more than he could chew. Machover is an internationally renowned academic, a Professor of Mathematical Logic, as well as being an Israeli anti-Zionist and founder of the Israeli Socialist Organisation Matzpen.
The CST is known to have extremely close links to Israel's Mossad and is part of Israel's control of the 'antisemitism industry' worldwide
The Labour Party was deluged with protests by branches and CLPs and it was clear that Matthews had bitten off more than he could chew. Within 3 weeks Moshe’s expulsion had been rescinded. However Zionists, like elephants, have long memories. If they lose the first time then they sooner or later come back for a second bite.
Moshe Machover interview on the Real News provoked the CST  into a bout of infantile 'antisemitism' posturing
Earlier this month Moshe gave an interviewwith the United State’s Real News Network. In response to a question asking why Zionists insist that anti-Semitism is not a form of racism, Moshe responded (about 6’28”) that the Zionist view was that:
Mark Gardner of the CST sharing concerns over 'antisemitism' with Richard Littlejohn, Britain's most racist journalist before Katie Hopkins appeared
anti-Semitism is something sui generis, it is not like anything other form of racism, just as they like to claim that the Holocaust, the genocide of the Jews under the Nazi regime in Europe, is not a genocide, it cannot be compared or discussed with other cases of genocide but it is just something on its own, it is an object outside general history, it shouldn’t be discussed in conjunction with any other genocide. It is in effect to make Israel something special and Israel supporters something special. This is part of their ideology.”
CST is heavily involved in trying to discredit anti-Zionist Jews
You might think that Moshe, like all academics, was offering his opinion on a matter of wide public interest.  But you'd be wrong. Zionism is a totalitarian ideology and the CST's slimy snoops, who are part of the Zionist Inquisition, pore over peoples' pronouncements for any sign of heresy. These little Torquemadas go out of their way to be offended. 

The Zionist ‘charity’ Community Security Trust immediately accused Moshe of a ‘disgusting slur’ by suggesting that the pro-Israel lobby “was exploiting the legacy of the Holocaust to try to silence criticism of the country.  Furthermore Moshe claimed that Gilad Erdan, Israeli Interior Minister and his Ministry of Strategic Affairs was behind the campaign  against Labour’s new guidelines on anti-Semitism. How shameful, you might think, to draw attention to the elephant in the room.
Exploiting the legacy of the Holocaust
On my reading Moshe didn’t say what the CST alleged. But he would have been completely entitled to have said that the Zionist movement exploits and always has exploited the Holocaust. There are innumerable examples. Defenders of Israel always, without exception, point to the creation of Israel as compensation to the Jewish people for the Holocaust. Holocaust analogies are to Israel what butter is to bread!
Was it not Israeli Labour Foreign Minister Abba Eban who described the Green Line separating Israel from the Occupied Territories as the 'Auschwitz Borders'? Or Menachem Begin who described Yassir Arafat under siege in Beirut as Hitler in his bunker in Berlin? Or how about Matan Vilnai, the Deputy Defence Minister, who threatened a 'bigger Shoah' (Holocaust) against the Palestinians of Gaza? Or Netanyahu who stated that 'it is 1938 and Iran is Germany.' The examples of legion. 


For the CST to suggest that saying Israel uses the holocaust is antisemitic, I can only assume that even as I write their collective noses are growing.  And no, before I am accused of an antisemitic joke I'm referring to Pinnochio's nose not the stereotype of Jewish noses!
No opportunity is lost to cast the Palestinians as continuing Hitler’s campaign of extermination. At Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Propaganda Museum in Jerusalem, there is a picture of the Mufti of Jerusalem on the wall sieg heiling a group of SS Stormtroopers. As Tom Segev, an Israeli historian and journalist wrote, its purpose is to ‘conclude that there is much in common between the Nazis’ plan to destroy the Jews and the Arabs’ enmity to Israel.’(The Seventh Million p.425).  

Israeli Professor of History, Edit Zertal noted there hasn’t been a war involving Israel ‘that has not been perceived, defined, and conceptualized in terms of the Holocaust.’ Israel has mobilised the Holocaust ‘in the service of Israeli politics.’ Israel’s Holocaust and the Politics of Nationhood.  
Just last week we saw a particularly sickening example of just how Israel and the Zionist movement use the Holocaust as a political prop. Hungary’s anti-Semitic Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, visited Israel and, as is the case with all official visitors to Israel, Orban stopped off to shed a few tears at Yad Vashem. 


Outside a group of Israelis, including Holocaust survivors, held a protest at the visit of a man who has sought to rehabilitate Hungary’s pro-Nazi war time leader, Admiral Horthy. Horthy presided over the deportation of nearly ½m  Hungary Jews to Auschwitz. There is little doubt that he could have put an end to the deportation of the Jews at any time between May 15 and July 7th 1944 if he had not chosen to disbelieve reports of their extermination. Indeed there is little doubt that Horthy was aware what the fate of the provincial Jews of Hungary would be. Yet Orban called him an exceptional statesman’ and is waging a campaign in Hungary for his rehabilitation. This is the man Netanyahu calls his friend. 


At no time and on no occasion have British Zionists - from the Board to Labour Friends of Israel or the Jewish Labour Movement even raised a murmur.
Veronika Cohen, one of the demonstrators and a Hungarian Holocaust survivor explained‘I don’t think that you have to be a Holocaust survivor or a Hungarian to be here to say that Orban has no business coming here,”. Yael Weiss-Reind, whose family was murdered in Hungary during the Holocaust, said that Yad Vashem was granting legitimacy to these regimes when it accepts leaders who carry out policies and ideologies that are very similar to what we saw decades ago.”
According to the CST’s interpretation of the IHRA both Veronika Cohen and Yael Weiss-Reind are anti-Semites.
In Israel comparisons with the Nazis are run of the mill. Assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was dressed up by his opponents in SS uniform. Professor Yeshayahu Leibowitz, who won the Israel prize, described the Jewish settlers on the West Bank as Judeo Nazis. Menachem Begin compared Yassir Arafat in the Beirut siege to Hitler in his final days in a Berlin bunker.
Israeli Professor Ofer Cassif compares Israel to Nazi Germany - shock horror!
Hebrew University Professor Ofer Cassif comparedIsrael to Nazi Germany as did another Hebrew university academic, Daniel Blatman, a Holocaust researcher, who compared Israel to both South Africa and Nazi Germany.
The CST's accounts aren't actually signed, but squiggled
The Community Security Trust are an overtly Zionist charity. Most of their work is taken up collating statistics on anti-Semitism and in providing protection for Jewish schools and premises. They are lavishly funded through Home Office grants. Two thirds of their income, £20 million came from government grants last year. Their latest accounts show that have over £16m in assets. Although the Charity Commission does not list their trustees it is known that Gerald Ronson, the owner of the Heron group, gaoled during the Guinness Trial, is Chair of the Trustees.
The background to the CST’s operations is what Tony Lerman, former Director of the Institute of Jewish Affairs and the Institute of Jewish Policy Research, described as ‘Israeli hegemony over the monitoring and combating of anti-Semitism.’  Lerman describes how, as the principal Editor of the Anti-Semitism World Report, he was put under pressure by London’s Mossad (MI6) representative either to cease publication or merge it with the Project for the Study of Anti-Semitism at Tel Aviv University under Professor Dina Porat, which was partly financed by Mossad.  Porat is now the head of Yad Vashem and a dedicated Zionist Holocaust historian.  
Lerman describes how, with the Mossad pressurising individual Jewish communities world-wide his World Report ceased publication in 1999. This was a time when Israel was fashioning the ‘new anti-Semitism’ into a potent weapon that Israel could use. It fed into the prevailing idea that Islam was the main source of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism was increasingly defined in terms of Muslims not fascists or genuine anti-Semites. [See Tony Lerman, Anti-Semitism Redefinedin ‘On Anti-Semitism’, Jewish Voice for Peace, Haymarket Books, 2017].
Netanyahu attempted to redefine anti-Semitism in terms of the Palestinians at the 2015 World Zionist Congress when he assertedthat but for the Mufti of Jerusalem 6 million Jews would not have been exterminated.
Hitler didn’t want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, “If you expel them, they’ll all come here.” “So what should I do with them?” he asked. He said, “Burn them.” [See Rewriting the Holocaust]
Netanyahu’s speech was a prime example of how Zionism distorts the Holocaust to fit in with the Zionist narrative, however I don’t recall any protests from the CST’s Dave Rich or Mark Gardener, both of whom reserve their venom for Jewish critics of Zionism.
The CST is in the business of distorting and manipulating popular perceptions of anti-Semitism in the service of the Israeli state. The whole basis of Zionism is aliyah, the emigration of Jews to Israel.  The only problem is that most diaspora Jews don’t want to live in Israel. Even when, as with France a few years ago, there was an upsurge of anti-Semitism and the murder of 4 Jews in the kosher supermarket, French Jews refused to come. Many of those who did come left again because their situation in France is so much better.
One of the ways to persuade Jews to emigrate to Israel is to instil in them the perception of anti-Semitism and to create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty whereby anti-Semitism is perceived as everywhere, all around us. A good example is the false anti-Semitism crisis in the Labour Party. Most members know that anti-Semitism is non-existent in the Labour Party but if you looked at the headlines in the Jewish Chronicle then you’d think that the SS dragnet was about to close on every Jewish member of the Party.
The CST Incidents Report for the first 6 months of 2018 show a decline in incidents, especially violent ones - this disappointing news meant the CST gave it no publicity
This is the role of the CST which produces every 6 months an Anti-Semitic Incidents Report.  The latest Report was not accompanied by the usual publicity and scare stories in the news papers. Why? Because the number of ‘anti-Semitic incidents’ in the first half of 2018 fell from 767 in the equivalent period in 2017 to 727 , that is a fall of 8% . Even worse from the Zionist perspective, the number of violent incidents fell by a massive 26% from 80 to 59 in the same period. For the third year none of these violent incidents were classed as ‘extreme’ which means they didn’t involve serious or indeed any injury. 
I have commented beforeon how the small relationship of violent incidents to overall hate /incidents against Jews suggests that there is something dodgy in the latter figures. Usually there is a much larger proportion of assaults as part of overall hate incidents. In the case of religious attacks around 30% going up to 45% in the case of disability.  Yet this year the proportion of violent attacks on Jews compared to overall hate incidents is just 8.1%, down from 10% last year. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the number of hate incidents in inflated by things like social media trivia and comments about Israel which are interpreted under the IHRA definition as anti-Semitism.
You might expect the CST to get the champagne out and celebrate the fall in violent incidents and how safe life is for Jewish people in Britain today. This is clear evidence of a decline in anti-Semitism from what were already small numbers. Not a bit of it. It is all sackcloth and ashes because from a Zionist point of view such statistics are extremely disappointing. Zionism’s core belief is that Jews do not belong where they live. If you are a good Jew you should abandon Britain and head for Israel. For the first time in years there was no publicity around these stats. 
Sheikh Raed Salah - the target of racist witchhunts in Israel and in the UK by the CST and Home Office
The CST has a long pedigree of Zionist politics and hostility to the Palestinians.  I have written about the CST’s well paid gravy train and their racist animus to Raed Saleh, leader of Israel’s Northern Islamic Leagues which the Israeli state banned without good cause. [see Lawrence Rubin of the Brookings Institution, Why Israel outlawed the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement] The reasons for suppressing a mass movement of Israel’s Arab population were political not security related. This at a time when Israeli groups like Lehava, whose leader Benzi Gopstein has advocated the arson of mosques and churches, are left untouched.
When the leader of the Northern Islamic League, Sheikh Raed Salah visited Britain in 2011 he was made subject to an Exclusion Order by Theresa May as Home Secretary and put in custody. However May forgot to inform either the Sheikh or Britain’s immigration officers! It was only after 3 days that he was arrested on the basis of information supplied by the CST. The only problem was that it was inaccurate. The CST’s evidence citedracist Hebrew University Professor Raphael Israeli who denounced Sheikh Raed Salah.
Raphael Israeli was quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald, 16.2.07.  [Limit Muslim migration, Australia warned] as saying that ‘When the Muslim population gets to a critical mass you have problems. That is a general rule’ Asa Winstanley of Electronic Intifada in The secret CST documents that smeared anti-Zionist Jews as extremists  showed how the CST was responsible for feeding the Home Office with false information about the ‘anti-Semitism’ of Raed Salah, including a deliberately false translation of a poem of Salah via the Jerusalem Post. 

The CST’s hostility to an Israeli Arab leader contrasts with the blind eye it has turned to EDL and far-Right presence on Zionist demonstrations’. As David Hearst wrote:
The CST's confidential advice to the home secretary was accompanied by a well-orchestrated and poisonous campaign against Salah in the media, who so swiftly and conclusively condemned him as a "hate preacher". Theresa May's haste to ban Raed Salah will be repented at leisure
The result of the CST feeding the Home Office false information was that Mr Justice Ockleton in the Upper Tier Immigration Tribunal quashed Theresa May's Order and freed Raed Salah to continue with his tour.

The CST acts as an arm of Israel’s Mossad. It is also a charity and therefore benefits financially from its charity status. Allegedly set up to defend the Jewish community, the CST has never ever participated in anti-fascist mobilisation. What is surprising is that the CST, whose nose has been put out of joint in recent years by the more strident Campaign Against Anti-Semitism should have adopted their tactics in their attack on Moshe Machover.
