Have They No Shame? Whilst his body is still warm – Fake ‘Anti-Semitism’ Charity Continues to Defame Gerald Kaufmann's Memory

Sir Gerald Kaufman hadn’t even been buried when Zionist ‘charity’ Campaign Against Anti-Semitismlaunched a vicious and despicable attack on him.  In an article entitled ‘Sir Gerald Kaufman MP’s words have left a rotting stain on our institutions’ the CAA demonstrated why they have all the ethics of Fred Goodwin and Philip Green combined. 

Gerald Kaufman had a fine and distinguished parliamentary career.  The last of Harold Wilson’s kitchen cabinet, he was someone who combined eccentricity and principle.  He was a fierce proponent of the ban on fox hunting and I can remember when he was cornered by snarling supporters of hunting at Brighton Labour Party conference, who attacked him for being Jewish.  Sir Gerald, unlike the racist frauds of the CAA, actually knew what anti-Semitism was like.

What got the CAA’s goat was Gerald Kaufman’s support for the Palestinians.  The pretext was speaking about ‘Jewish money’ and its influence in the Tory Party.  If he had been a Zionist writing about Jewish moneyin the Jewish Chronicle then the CAA wouldn’t have batted an eyelid.  Anti-Semitism only concerns them when Israel is under attack. 

Zionism has never objected to anti-Semitism.  On the contrary it has always seen in anti-Semitism an indispensable friend.  As the founder of Political Zionism, Theodor Herzl wrote:

We see this today in the welcome that both the Israeli state and American Zionists have given to Trump and his anti-Semitic advisor, Steve Bannon of Breitbart.  [see Anti-Semitism and the Alt-Right - Why Zionists have nothing to say about Trump’s Anti-Semitism]

Sir Gerald Kaufman the Jewish Father of the House of Commons came from the right-wing of the Labour Party.  I am on the Marxist left of the Party.  But both of us agreed on one thing – the Jewish experience of anti-Semitism meant that we cannot turn a blind eye to the pogroms, the violence and the extreme racism carried out in our name by Israel, which defines itself as a Jewish state of all people.

The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism is a Zionist propaganda group set up in August 2014, when Israel was murdering over 2,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including 551 innocent children.  Israel used white phosphorous bombs and the latest high tech weaponry to demolish clinics, schools, hospitals and housing.  We all remember when 4 little children were murdered by an Israeli airplane as they played on Gaza’s beach.  It has even bannedNorwegian surgeon Mads Gilbert on ‘security’ grounds from Gaza because he dared criticise Israel.

The CAA has only ever had one purpose, to use the cry of ‘anti-Semitism’ to undermine support for the Palestinians of Gaza.  In pursuit of that it has libelled and defamed anyone who stood up to the Israeli propaganda blitzkrieg.  They particularly hate Jewish ‘traitors’ like Sir Gerald.  The Zionist particularly love accusing Jewish anti-Zionists and even critical Zionists like Sir Gerald of being ‘traitors’ thus implying that we owe Israel some kind of loyalty – this is the anti-Semitic concept of ‘dual loyalty’.

Sir Gerald made his famous speech in the House of Commons comparing the Nazi murder of his grandmother in Staszow, Poland during WW2 to the murder of Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza.  That was unforgivable because we must not compare Israel to Nazi Germany.  Only Zionists may use the Holocaust to defend their bastard state of racial supremacy.

At the last count there were 22 articles attacking Sir Gerald on the CAA web site and barely a single mention of Britain’s 3 main fascist parties – the BNP, the EDL and the NF.  All of them deny the Holocaust, all of them are anti-Semitic but of course the first two are also pro-Zionist.  The CAA only engages in a few token prosecutions of fascists as a form of window dressing, a smokescreen to cover their main activity – undermining support for the Palestinians and defaming anti-Zionists.

Gerald Kaufman’s offence was apparently to saythat “It’s Jewish money, Jewish donations to the Conservative Party – as in the general election in May – support from the Jewish Chronicle, all of those things, bias the Conservatives.’  Now I don’t happen to agree with Sir Gerald’s analysis.  I think that the Conservative Party, just like New Labour before them, supports Israel because of Britain’s economic, political and military interests in the Middle East and in particular the need to hug the United States foreign policy wise.

However what Sir Gerald said was notanti-Semitic.  Undoubtedly Jewish Zionist donors give money to the Tory Party because they want to influence policy in a pro-Israeli direction.  Most big donors do.  Is that anti-Semitic?  Or maybe it is the use of the phrase ‘Jewish money’?  Well I did a search on the Jewish Chronicle website and came up with 590 similar occurrences of the phrase in their archive.  It is a term commonly used within the Jewish community.

The Daily Mail, the paper that the CAA goes running to when it is under attack, carried an attack on Jeremy Corbyn by Michael Foster, the suspended Labour Party member who compared other members of the party to Nazi stormtroopers.  What were the headlines?

What are those articles about if not Jewish donors giving Jewish money to the Labour Party (or not giving it)?

The hypocrisy of Sir Gerald’s attackers was exemplified by Geoffrey Alderman, the Tory fogey and Jewish Chronicle columnist.  Alderman wrote an article on 19^thNovember 2015 about Sir Gerald entitled ‘A man who deserves banning’ for his use of the term ‘Jewish money’.  It was somewhat ironic because Alderman, in an article entitled Obama’s False Iran Alternative on 13^th August 2015 used the term ‘Jewish money’ no less than 3 times!

When it comes to genuine anti-Semitism, Geoffrey Alderman is normally very tolerant.  When David Whelan owner of Wigan Athletic football club wrote that ‘there is nothing like a Jew who sees money slipping through his fingers’ he was challenged by the Guardian.  His response wasthat ‘I think they [Jews] are very shrewd people…. I think Jewish people do chase money more than everybody else.  I don’t think that’s offensive at all.’ 

So the motto of the story is that if you are a Zionist then any amount of anti-Semitism is fine but if you support the Palestinians watch what you are saying.
