Monitoring ex-Labour extremists

 

Earlier this month I reported that the grouping  Labour In Exile (LIE) were to establish an "Anti-Zionist Action" campaign which would:

(1) to gain knowledge of the identity, location, activities and associations, of individual Zionist trolls;

(2) to use the knowledge so-gained for the purpose of (i) taking action against the individuals and (ii) warning other members to take care of those individuals.

This warning was taken taken seriously by a number of people who began to report the matter to the authorities. LIE are now attempting to cover their backs following the publication of an article in the Jewish Chronicle yesterday.

LIE state they have set up no such organisation and it was not discussed at their conference being the work of "one individual". LIE further claim that their steering Committee decided against setting up any such network or working group.

Yet this was not mentioned by their Tony Greenstein (who is according to some the de-facto leader of LIE) when he responded to my original blog piece instead he wrote: 

"deliberately misleading. They will be targeting Zionist activists, many of whom are not Jewish."

Not only did he not state the motion was not discussed or passed at either their conference or Steering Committee he actually went on to confirm that there would  be targeting of "Zionists" and their non-Jewish allies/supporters.

Earlier today I challenged LIE on their Facebook Page:

The last part of your sentence fits the first. As a Jewish activist exposing the activities of extremist groups like yours I took them as a threat in the literal sense. Your attempt to weasel your way out of this with this so-called "counter-statement" especially with one of your supporters along with his mates sitting in the clink for "vandalism" after attacking Jewish, not Zionist property does not impress. It is those like you who made anti-Zionism antisemitism. You cannot be trusted.

LIE replied:

It is entirely up to you if you choose to misunderstand or misinterpret our statement.

For those of you not aware Tony Greenstein and others believed to be members of the extremist "Palestine Action" group have been arrested for allegedly attacking a Jewish owned firm in the Midlands. The Jewish Chronicle  reports:

A statement issued to the JC by Staffordshire Police on Monday confirmed: “A 67-year-old man from Brighton has been charged with possessing an article with the intent to destroy property after being arrested by colleagues at West Midlands Police in Walsall in the early hours of Tuesday 9 March 2021.

“Anthony Greenstein of Little Crescent, Rottingdean, has been remanded in custody following an appearance at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on Wednesday 10 March.”

Does anyone from LIE really expect anyone to believe their intentions are benign? These people are obsessed. Their activities will be monitored by Jewish organisations and activists who refuse to be intimidated by extremists whether they come from the far-left or the far-right!
