The Jews of 1936 London definitely did not stand for Mosley’s Blackshirts “right to protest”…

The whole basis of The Public Order Act 1936, which was rushed through as a consequence of the violence during Cable Street, was to establish legal powers to restrict public marches and processions. 🤔

Here are source documents showing a petition from the Jewish People’s Council that amassed 100,000 signatures asking the then Home Secretary, essentially on the basis of community cohesion, to ban the march.

Sound familiar? Note the Zionist groups 👇🏼

We know that Jeremy Corbyn loves talking about Cable Street, but does he actually know his history?

Speaking yesterday he stated that ‘all of them stood for the right to protest’. Excuse me?! No they didn’t - London’s East End communities tried to get the fascist march banned!

I don't think Owen Jones realises that you can see which comments he has liked underneath his BBC investigation piece...

'The Zionist project has sought to make Jews the new master race'

'as long as Zionist voices in the governing party continue to pull Starmer's strings'

You can’t remove the concepts of being a ‘chosen people’ and of victimhood from broader themes around Jews and antisemitism.

It’s the same crap we see from hardened antisemites - that Jews see themselves as superior and as the ultimate victims. That it’s all a duplicitous ploy.

Why does Gary Lineker see it fit or appropriate to share a video on Instagram which outlines that Israelis see themselves as ‘the chosen people’ and ‘the only victim in history’?

Is this what Lineker believes?!

It’s frankly disgraceful.

Titling a YouTube video "Israel 'ALLYING' With ISIS To Starve Gaza" is no more than the worst kind of shameless clickbait sensationalism.

Given also the abundance of antisemitic conspiracy theories regarding Israel and ISIS, it's also just reckless.

There are many ways to criticise or oppose Israeli policy, or side 100% with Palestinians in a dispute over land, without fuelling conspiracies about and hatred towards Jews.

Genuine attempts to fight racism need us to understand this. There is added responsibility on us progressives to redress it.

Finally, it can lead Jews to conclude that there is a deep well of obsession that centralises this issue above everything else. And that obsession is nothing more than the same antisemitism that has been deployed for centuries and is now deeply ingrained into our societies. END

That same climate change activist may then find themselves at a protest chanting to ‘crush Zionism’…

It's what leads people to suggest that we cannot address the consequences of climate change without addressing the issues raised by Israel.

And it’s what can lead protestors on anti-Israel marches to deploy placards such as these which centralise Israel and Zionism as somehow core to a range of other non-related issues and/or as key to fixing the world.

France blames Russia’s FSB for anti-Semitic Star of David graffiti campaign France believes that Russia's security service FSB was behind a campaign in which Star of David graffiti were daubed on buildings in and around Paris last autumn, a French source said Friday.

It’s also the familiarity of this antisemitism, that can lead hostile states such as Russia to cynically deploy antisemitism as a tool for destabilisation and fomenting division.

And just like how antisemitism has always been used by states to distract and divert attention from their own failings, that tradition continues. It’s what leads Iran’s leaders to continually talk about Zionism and to make claims such as this…

Today, these ideas are transplanted onto the Jewish state, and the movement for Jewish emancipation, Zionism. Whether this argument is made consciously is unclear, likely often not, but it's clear how closely they resemble antisemitic ideas that have been around for centuries.

We know how the Nazis went about dealing with this so-called ‘Jewish Question’. That despite everything they were trying to achieve, they would be unable to do so without ridding the world of its Jewish population.

Whether it’s the global economy, the media or geopolitics, antisemitism leads us to believe that any attempt to deal with these issues will ultimately be futile if we don’t address the root cause of these problems – Jews.

If we look at ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ for example, its core antisemitism is structured around the idea that it is both Jewish power and malevolence that leads us to infer that we cannot address the ills of the world, without dealing with (whatever that means), Jews.

It’s very hard to escape the conclusion that those who make this argument are essentially drawing on centuries of antisemitic ideas that declared that Jews, Judaism and Jewish society were responsible for all that was wrong with society at the time.

It’s a curious argument, especially when considering the litany of issues we face. From famine to climate change, poverty, regional instability, and everything in between, there’s no shortage of problems that our world faces. So why is this issue at the centre of it all?

Since October 7th, we’ve seen an eruption in anti-Israel activity around the world. We’ve all seen/heard the arguments, slogans, and placards. One that comes up time and time again is the narrative that somehow this issue alone is core to solving all the world’s ills.

THREAD: How the framing of Israel/Zionism as the centre of all the world's ills and problems draws on centuries of antisemitic thought that sought to frame Jews as being the root source of all corruption and evil in the world and as an obstacle to societal peace and harmony.🧵
