Earlier tonight I sat (partially) through the television programme 'We Are British Jews' tonight - _ I say !partially - I can't remember being more angry at a total distorion of fact outright lies, bullying and blustering and right wing propaganda
A group of 'ordinary' Jewish people described how poor little nuclear facilitated Israel was fighting for her existence from attacks by Arab terrorists who wished to turn her from a peace loving refuge for Jewish People to an Arab state
No mention of massacres, destruction of homes and schools indiscriminate bombings, use of chemical and anti-personnel weapons, land grabbing, mass evictions......... certainly no reference of the fact that Israel facilitated the greatest single massacre of unarmed civilians in the latter half of the 20th century - not a mention of the fact that Israel has just murdered nearly twice the number of demonstrators as did the Apartheid regime in South Africa - certainly no comarison of casualty figures
Israel was the victim - the Arabs were the perpetrators
No siege was taking place in Gaza - the Israelis were just preventing weapons being brought into the country that would be used to murder Jews.
The rather timid young woman who spoke up on behalf of Palestinian suffering was bullied into silence
It was like listening to a room of screaming Keiths
Behind it all was rhge gentler voice of the commentator, Stephen Mangan (who, up t now, I have admired, with lie after lie, distortion after distortion
It was a crude propaganda exercise on behalf of a terrorist state which is systematically ethnically cleansing Arab families from their homes to mak room for people of the "right ethnic background" - with the apparent support of between one third and a half of its citizens

This programme stands as indisputable evidence that all accusations of Labour Antisemitism are about defending the Israeli regime AND NOTHING ELSE
I very much doubt if the Palestinians will be given an equal chance to state their cae THAT WOULD BE ANTISEMITIC BY TODAY'S RULES
If any more proof were needed, that fact that the couple of Israeli supporters here have refused with their silence to specify what they are accusing Labour of
