Jewish Letter denounces smears of Anti-Semitism against Labour and Corbyn | | A celebrated attack on Corbyn by Chief Rabbi Mirvis was devoid of facts and instead complained of the Labour Party “culture”. (...) A detailed examination of all the anti-Semitism accusations against Labour done by a group of UK Jews supporting Labour found the charges were “smoke without fire”.
As for what Jeremy Corbyn has done (as opposed to words taken out of context) his record is sterling, going back to the time he organized the defense of Jewish-populated Wood Green from a National Front rally.
John Bercow, the Jewish former Conservative MP and Speaker of the House of Commons, testifies that, having known Corbyn over two decades, he has ‘never detected a whiff of antisemitism’ about him.
This is a political fight, not a matter of a racist attack on religion or ethnicity.
Right-wing Jews who hate Corbyn for his support for Palestinian rights and Right-wing non-Jews who hate Corbyn for his proposed social reforms are united in spreading the “Labour anti-Semitism” slander.
If false charges of anti-Semitism are used by the Right in successfully destroying a candidacy in the UK, they’ll do it again and again worldwide. [bz]

British Jews blockade Israeli ‘lawfare’ group talk in London | | Jewish News (UK) - While a community centre in north London was
hosting a talk by Naomi Linder Kahn, a director of the Israeli
radical nationalist ‘lawfare’ group Regavim, activists from the
anti-occupation group Na’amod linked arms and stood in front of the
entrance. The Na’amod protesters made their presence known by
singing songs, and using a megaphone to recite Birkat HaBayit, the
Jewish prayer for the home. A separate protest by the Palestine
Solidarity Campaign took place nearby. Regavim has led the legal
charge to demolish Bedouin and Palestinian homes. Josh Cohen, a
Na’amod member who took part in the blockade, said that "Welcomin
Regavim to the UK demonstrates the depths of the moral crisis in our
community when it comes to the occupation. Regavim doesn’t just
support the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Israel and the
West Bank. It is actively involved in efforts to make this happen.
Just as British Jews have rejected the home-grown extremism of
British racists, they must reject the vile hatred championed by
organisations such as Regavim. Everyone who opposes racism must
condemn those Jews who welcome this sort of hate into our
community.” [ak]

Only 19.7% of Americans agree with US State Dept on Israeli settlements | | Grant Smith - Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA) / If
Americans Knew - Following Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declaring
that Israeli settlements were not “inherently illegal,” the IRmep
public opinion poll posed to 2,034 American adults the question:
“International law SHOULD APPLY to Israel’s military occupation &
colonization of the West Bank, Golan Heights, E. Jerusalem and
displacement of their indigenous populations. Do you Disagree or
Agree?” 53.6 percent had no opinion at all to give. Of those who did
have an opinion, 26.7 percent said that in their opinion
international law still applies, while only 19.7 percent believe it
does not. [ak]

Rabbis standing up together for Palestinian children | | Rabbi Alissa Wise - Jewish Voice for Peace - For decades “unconditional” U.S. support for Israel has been code for
funding Israel’s human rights abuses of Palestinians – Trump is simply
taking that to its logical next step.
But more and more Jews, especially young Jews, commit to working for
justice and equality for all in Israel/Palestine. [ak] | 3/12/2019 |
