Pro-nationalisation ou soutien d’Israël ? Qui est vraiment #Andy_Burnham ?

Confronté à une impopularité record, #Keir_Starmer, tenant d’une ligne blairiste autoritaire, a annoncé sa démission du poste de Premier ministre britannique. Les députés travaillistes, qui détiennent une majorité à Westminster, ont déjà choisi son successeur : Andy Burnham, jusqu’à récemment maire du Grand #Manchester et figure de la gauche modérée. S’il défend un plus grand interventionnisme public dans l’économie et a pris des positions remarquées durant sa carrière, son passé dans les gouvernements Blair et Brown indiquent une forme de continuité avec la ligne ayant envoyé le #Labour à l’abîme. Le profil de ses soutiens et son rapport ambigu sur le génocide à #Gaza interrogent également. Qui est vraiment le futur locataire du 10 Downing Street ?

La politique britannique semble être à un tournant. La première année du gouvernement de #Keir_Starmer a montré à quel point le #parti travailliste est revenu à un programme blairiste, dont les politiques néolibérales et répressives sont de plus en plus rejetées. Dans le même temps, le Reform Party de #Nigel_Farage a fait un bond dans les sondages et semble en passe de remporter les prochaines élections. Mais les choses bougent enfin à gauche, avec le renouveau des Verts depuis l’élection de Zack Polanski à sa tête et le lancement de « #Your_Party » par Jeremy #Corbyn et #Zahra_Sultana.

UK decides to expel Chinese seamen - WCH | Stories
▻https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9142/uk-decides-to-expel-chinese-seamen

On 19 October 1945, the UK Labour government decided to deport hundreds of Chinese seamen who were living in Liverpool, 20,000 of whom had been brought to the city to assist the war effort in World War II.
The Home Office claimed they were “an undesirable element” in the city. However, in reality the law-abiding behaviour of Chinese migrant workers had received much official praise. Government records show the real reason was that local “authorities were anxious to secure the use of the housing accommodation which the Chinese occupied”.
The government had no legal justification for the deportations, so to expel them authorities varied the sailors’ landing conditions so that they would have to leave by a certain date. Any still in the city beyond that point could then be arrested and sent back to China.
Even many men with British wives and British-born children were deported, and they were not informed that they had the legal right to stay. Some of their wives were then stripped of their citizenship and forced to leave as well. For others, and unmarried couples, the men were forced to leave their partners and children in Britain, never to see them again.

Labour party officials opposed to Jeremy #Corbyn worked to lose the 2017 general election in the hope that a bad result would trigger a leadership contest to oust him, a dossier drawn up by the party suggests.

A huge cache of leaked WhatsApp messages and emails show senior officials from the party’s right wing, who worked at its HQ, became despondent as Labour climbed in the polls during the election campaign despite their efforts.

Campaign against Sanders on ‘antisemitism’ for his criticism of Israel begins in earnest

https://mondoweiss.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Screen-Shot-2019-10-28-at-4.38.07-PM.png

In recent days, a group calling itself Democrats Against Anti-Semitism has begun an earnest campaign to inject the discourse with the idea that Bernie Sanders, historically the leading Jewish politician ever to run for president, is an antisemite because of his positions on Israel. That group joins New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss and others in seizing on the urgent task of vilifying Sanders. They evidently aim to “Corbyn-ize” him, by parroting smears used effectively against the UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Sanders is a target because he has taken the strongest stances in favor of Palestinian human rights that any major candidate for the presidency has ever adopted. He has denounced the killings of Palestinian protesters in no uncertain terms, he has repeatedly called for the end of the Gaza siege so as to end a humanitarian disaster in the strip, he has said that he would condition military aid to Israel because of its unending settlement project and disrespect for Palestinian human rights, he has called Netanyahu a racist, and, worst of all, called for an “evenhanded” U.S. policy with respect to Israel and Palestine. All this, while saying that he is proudly Jewish, lived on an Israeli kibbutz as a young man, and supports Israel’s existence/favors a two-state solution. (...)

Do you want to feel really good this Christmas? #Boycott #Amazon | Technology | The Guardian

▻https://www.theguardian.com/technology/shortcuts/2019/dec/03/boycott-amazon-christmas-workers-ceo-jeff-bezos

The firm’s overworked warehouse staff have had to pee in old water bottles while their CEO is paid in a second what they earn in five weeks.

Jeff Bezos, says the TUC, earns as much in a second as one of his warehouse workers would earn in five weeks. It makes his performative philanthropy – such as his Bezos Day One charity, which helps families in low-income areas – slightly nauseating. If he hadn’t set Amazon up to maximise his power and overvalue his contribution, he wouldn’t have helped to create the disempowerment and exploitation he claims to want to overcome.

How the UK military and intelligence establishment is working to stop Jeremy #Corbyn becoming prime minister
▻https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2019-12-04-how-the-uk-military-and-intelligence-establishment-is-wo

https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/HEADER.-CONSERVATIVE-MEME.png

There is a strong suggestion that, for some stories, intelligence officials have themselves provided secret documents to journalists as part of what appears to be a campaign.

Every story has been picked up across national print media, often setting the news agenda and chiming with statements from Conservative government ministers. Nearly every story appeared in four papers — The Daily Telegraph, The Times, the Daily Mail, or The Sun.

Our research also found 440 articles in the UK press since September 2015 specifically mentioning Corbyn as a “threat to national security”.

The intelligence services and the military are supposed to abide by the “constitutional principle” of non-involvement in political affairs. But the numerous instances of serving national security officials briefing against Corbyn in the media raises questions about whether this principle has been upheld.

I am 58 years old, and for the first time in my life, I am frightened to be Jewish.

We live in a time when racism is being normalized, when Nazis parade in the streets in Europe and America; Jew baiters like Hungary’s Orban are treated as respectable players on the international scene, “white nationalist” propagandist Steve Bannon can openly coordinate scare-mongering tactics with Boris Johnson in London at the same time as in Pittsburg, murderers deluded by white nationalist propaganda are literally mowing Jews down with automatic weapons. How is it, then, that our political class has come to a consensus that the greatest threat to Britain’s Jewish community is a lifelong anti-racist accused of not being assiduous enough in disciplining party members who make offensive comments on the internet?

For almost all my Jewish friends, this is what is currently creating the greatest and most immediate sense of trepidation, even more than the actual Nazis: the apparently endless campaign by politicians like Margaret Hodge, Wes Streeting, and Tom Watson to weaponize antisemitism accusations against the current leadership of the Labour party. It is a campaign – which however it started, has been sustained primarily by people who are not themselves Jewish – so cynical and irresponsible that I genuinely believe it to be a form of antisemitism in itself. And it is a clear and present danger to Jewish people.

The Financial Times (FT) has given the ‘above the fold’ half of its front page this morning to policies it presumably thinks will horrify its core readership – but which will be music to the ears of millions of voters hard-pressed under the Tories and their prioritisation, as #Corbyn said in his Salford speech this morning, of ‘those who lend and speculate over those who actually make things‘.

Jeremy Corbyn and the truth about Tom Bower’s book | Middle East Eye
Peter Oborne - 9 March 2019
A biography about the Labour leader systematically distorts the truth, writes Peter Oborne

Those of us who report on politics are at liberty to express, within limits, whatever opinions we like. These limits include an obligation to observe standards. We should strive to be accurate. We can make strong arguments but ought not to distort the truth or suppress relevant information to make our point.

Writer Tom Bower fails catastrophically to meet these standards. It is not only that Dangerous Hero: Corbyn’s Ruthless Plot For Power, his new book on Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, contains numerous falsehoods. It systematically omits relevant facts in order to portray Corbyn as a ruthless Marxist and anti-semite hell-bent on destroying Western liberal values.

The Times, the nearest thing that Britain has to a paper of record, has awarded it a prominent review. Ditto the Sunday Times. Tom Harris, a former Labour MP, was not far short of reverential in the Daily Telegraph, calling it a “meticulous and highly readable account”. In the US, an interview with Bower has appeared in the Washington Post. (...)

In summary: the truth behind the stats :: Jewish Voice for Labour
25 Feb 2019
▻https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/blog/in-summary-the-truth-behind-the-stats

Glyn Secker, secretary of Jewish Voice for Labour, and Dr Alan Maddison, a solidarity member, have been crunching the data, recently released by General Secretary Jennie Formby, of allegations of antisemitism made against Labour members

Labour Briefing, March 2019
(…)

And a clear picture has finally emerged. Jennie Formby’s data confirms that the grounds for the attacks on Jeremy Corbyn and Labour have indeed been grossly exaggerated, and in some cases fabricated. Over the last ten months there were:

» 1,106 referrals of antisemitism allegations;

» 433 of these had nothing to do with party members, leaving 673 to be investigated;

» 220 of these were dismissed entirely for lack of evidence;

» this left 453 cases;

» 453 is 0.08% of the party’s 540,000 members – that’s about 1/12th of 1%;

» 96 of these resulted in suspensions – that’s 0.01%, or 1/100th of 1% of members;

» there were twelve expulsions – that’s 0.002%, or 1/500th of 1% of members!

By no stretch of the imagination can a 0.08% incidence support the claim of a ‘”rampant problem in Labour”. Of course, even one case of antisemitism is one too many. But these are vanishingly small statistics, especially when you consider that 2-5% of the general population are considered to be antisemitic.

This is not a wave, it is not even a ripple. In nautical terms it’s almost a dead flat calm. (…)

Corbyn calls for UK to condemn Israel’s targeting of Palestinians – Middle East Monitor
▻https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20190302-corbyn-calls-for-uk-to-condemn-israels-targeting-of-pale

Head of the British Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn has called for the UK government to condemn Israel’s killing of Palestinians as well as to freeze arms sales to the occupation state.

His remarks came in the wake of a UN report which found that Israel might have committed war crimes against Palestinians.

On Twitter, Corbyn wrote: “The UN says Israel’s killings of demonstrators in Gaza – including children, paramedics and journalists – may constitute ‘war crimes or crimes against humanity’”.

“The UK government must unequivocally condemn the killings and freeze arms sales to Israel.”

In the reasoning of the British #media, anti-Semitism is not defined by anti-Jewishness but by falling outside of a magic circle which is itself defined in center-left or right-wing terms. The cynically apocalyptic tone of the British Jewish establishment’s claim that #Corbyn is an “existential threat” to British Jewry is a testament to how far it will go to cry wolf in the service of this #agenda.

We have long had serious concerns about the lack of due impartiality and accuracy in the reporting of allegations of antisemitism against Jeremy #Corbyn and the Labour party. The recent report by the Media Reform Coalition examining coverage of Labour’s revised code of conduct on antisemitism shows that we are right to be concerned.
