| Antisemitic graffiti in UK city blamed on Labour Party activists |
| 2020-11-21 |
No surprise that they’re so tight with the supersessionist Muslims — they have so much in common. [Jpost] ''Jewish lies matter' was daubed on walls as Labour Party in turmoil over readmission of Jeremy Corbyn.Two large graffiti signs with the words "Jewish lies matter" were found in the English city of Brighton and Hove on Tuesday. They appeared on the same day that the Labour Party readmitted former leader Jeremy Corbyn. He recently had been suspended for downplaying the results of an investigation that found Labour mishandled complaints of antisemitism within the party under his leadership. Brighton and Hove has become a hotbed of antisemitism in recent years due to the strong presence of Labour and Green Party activists. In 2014, Israeli-owned SodaStream was forced to close down its profitable local outlet following a two-year-long boycott campaign against it. Anti-Israel activism has since developed into open antisemitism. In 2018, a Labour activist called for a "march on the synagogues." The following year, a red substance was found splashed across the doors of Brighton’s Middle Street Synagogue, a 144-year-old building that is Grade II listed. The police were reluctant to investigate, dismissing the substance as a drink that had merely been splashed and deeming the incident not to be malicious. Kapuza was unconvinced. "The incidents and vile rhetoric from Labour and left-wing activists over the years in this city leave me in no doubt as to what these people really believe," she said, adding that all of the city’s MPs represent either the Labour Party or the Green Party. "A local community group is regularly awash with vindictive commentary, blaming Jews for Corbyn losing the general election," she said. The Labour Party is in turmoil after its National Executive Committee ruled on Tuesday to readmit Corbyn following his three-week suspension. |
