Antisemitism in the Peace and Justice Project (Campaign Central)

 

Most political activists will be aware that the Great leader Jeremy Corbyn launched  his Peace and Justice Campaign to wild adoration from his assembled acolytes and disciples. It's website and Facebook group contains all the usual drivel about imperialism and how the Western democracies threaten world peace.

You know the score. Russian bombs don't kill only British and American ones do. We should back the call by Stop the War Campaign (run by Iranian lickspittles Lindsey German and John Rees) to pay reparations to the Taliban murderers as they literally exterminate women's rights and kill all potential opposition. These people really do have an unpleasant view of the world.

However what you might not know is there is an unofficial Facebook Page run by a small coterie of individuals including Christine Flight and Che Marguerite (a woman not a bloke before you ask). They have some interesting rules which one wouldn't expect to find on a left wing site where racism of all kinds would not be expected..except they do and warn about guess who:

"We're very friendly with a lot of awesome red members but...this group is PUBLIC. You CANNOT make, or even risk, Racist or Antisemitic comments here. Both for your own protection and for Jeremy's. You will be politely warned once, then removed. Obviously don't use the J-word loosely or talk about Israel, or Israeli’s when you mean the Israeli Government. #BDS your posts remain your own, not JC's or the Groups. Be Careful." 

J-word? They couldn't mean (shock, horror) Jews by any chance could they. Can't risk mentioning the Jews. Juden Verbotten!

Except you don't have to go far to find clear antisemitism as this comment came up very quickly:

Cherry Anne Tickle: The Tories are trying to blacken Mr, Corbyns name ,that you will never do,go back and stay with your Conservatives or Israelites maybe!

"Israelites". A historical term that refers to Jews.

That seems to have passed the Admins by....

  
Careless and indicative of the true face of left-wing Corbynism. A movement riddled with antisemitism .
