Academics’ union says Jews make up antisemitism to attack Corbyn

the JC. While she is not believed to be a Momentum Reading member, she has also voted with the organisation’s members.

Ms McCubbing is a member of the Labour Against The Witchhunt group, where she has backed former Labour members including Jackie Walker and Tony Greenstein who were expelled over antisemitism allegations.

Speaking to the Reading Chronicle this week on the decision to cancel the May 30th event with Mr Secker, she added: “I have seen criticism of the ‘controversial’ event from half a dozen members of Reading CLP.

“There are hundreds, if not thousands of members of this CLP so they represent a tiny, but vocal and powerful minority.

“Glyn Secker was speaking out against the far right, fascists, their allies and those bodies who turn a blind eye and it is quite insulting and offensive to cast this man as being racist.”

Mo McSevney, chair of RDLP, said she approved the event but cancelled it after hearing Mr Secker’s comments, which criticised “Jewish leaders”.

She said: “Glyn has since apologised Facebook post by Laura Balogh

for his comments. Nobody in RDLP would support what he said.

“We cannot be seen to be support someone who said something like that. The sensible thing to do was cancel the event.”

The JC contacted Ms Al-Sanjari who denied being a member of Momentum Reading and claimed there had been no protest against Ms Berger.

Ms Caney refused to respond to the JC’s email asking for her comment but then posted a message to party members claiming she was being “trolled.”

NEXT MONDAY, the annual conference of the University and College Union (UCU), which represents university and college lecturers, is due to ratify its latest formal rejection of the experiences and opinions of the mainstream majority of British Jews.

UCU has done this many times before. Nearly a decade ago it became the first (and I think only) trade union that CST, and our communal partners at the Jewish Leadership Council and Board of Deputies believed to be institutionally racist against the community, because the union’s far Left activists, many of them Jewish, had long conducted a bitter campaign against Israel, “Zionists” and mainstream Jewish communal fears about antisemitism.

Their behaviour foreshadowed what would then occur between the Jewish community and the leadership of today’s Labour Party, including the arguments about the IHRA antisemitism definition, the utterly divisive purpose of Jewish anti-Zionist obsessives and the creation of an overall environment that drives most other Jews to leave in disgust: exactly as happened to courageous opponents of antisemitism within UCU.

The UCU’s latest attack again claims that Jews lie about antisemitism because we will protect Israel and “Zionism” by any means necessary.

This year, however, there is an added urgency, because our alleged Jewish lies are apparently also intended to undermine the UCU’s messiah, Jeremy Corbyn. The resolution describes attacks upon him as “based on [the] conflation of antisemitism and antiZionism”, before resolving that “the [union’s] President will urge all branches to host meeting with Jewish Voice for Labour, to explain and counter the charges of antisemitism in Labour”.

JVL, the group for Jewish anti-Zionist obsessives, the group that despises the rest of the Jewish community, will “explain and counter the charges of antisemitism in Labour”.

Specifically because of JVL’s purpose, membership and repeat behaviour, it will be invited by academics to tell their far left comrades that all the other Jews (ie “Zionists”) — and especially their representative bodies — deliberately lie about antisemitism in order to defend Israel, protect “Zionism” and attack Jeremy Corbyn.

UCU’s National Executive Committee can see that something is wrong with the resolution, but its concern is with appearance, not with content. JVL remains the delivery agent, but its purpose should be concealed.

So it has spun the wording, with an amendment reading “delete ‘explain and counter’, replace with ‘address’”. Superficially, JVL’s mandate shifts from a predetermined “explain and counter” denial of antisemitism into one of “address the charges of antisemitism in Labour”. In reality, of course, nothing changes. The scornful denial of Jewish experience and opinion continues, only better disguised. The attacks on Israel and so-called “Zionism” also continue. A group that exists to rubbish the rest of us is designated as the acceptable face of British Jews.

As before, what is happening within UCU is also happening within the Labour Party, with JVL being asked to Labour branch meetings around the country. The only remaining question is whether or not Labour’s leadership is publicly willing to do the same.

This scornful denial of Jewish experience’
