I really don’t understand the mentality.  Even if you’re dismal enough to have these views in the first place, surely, surely you’d keep your gob shut in the public arena.  Do they think ideological purity is preferable to forming a government or are they so immersed in their bubble they think it’s popular opinion?

Senior Labour councillor says split “nothing to do with antisemitism” and backs reinstatement of Chris Williamson (suspended by Labour for anti-semitic behaviour)

Labour councillor Noah Tucker says Labour split is "nothing whatsoever to do with antisemitism" and defends suspended MP Chris Williamson in leaked recording.

A senior Labour councillor has said that the party’s recent split “has nothing whatsoever to do with antisemitism” and backed the reinstatement of Chris Williamson.

In a recording passed to The Red Roar, Haringey Council cabinet member Noah Tucker sets out a motion claiming that the decision of Luciana Berger and eight other MPs to leave the Labour Party “has nothing whatsoever to do with antisemitism, it has nothing at all to do with accusations of bullying, nothing at all to do with Brexit” but is “about protecting a foreign policy which is based on promoting imperialist war”.

Tucker also rails against the suspension of Chris Williamson MP for “the crime of speaking the truth”, calling him “one of our best and most honest and loyal MPs”.

Members of Tottenham CLP voted in favour of the motion by a large majority, but only after removing the strongest criticism of departing MPs and rejecting an amendment supported by Tucker that called for Williamson’s suspension to be overturned.

Williamson was suspended last week for saying that Labour had been “too apologetic” about antisemitism, and for hosting a film screening for Jackie Walker who was herself suspended from the party after saying that Jews were the “chief financiers of the slave trade”.

Tucker had previously arranged for Jackie Walker to address a meeting of Tottenham Momentum after her suspension in 2016, but the event was later cancelled following fierce criticism. Last year he opposed Haringey council’s adoption of the widely accepted IHRA definition of antisemitism.

An entirely disingenuous piece of muck raking worthy of The Mail on Sunday or other bottom feeding lie machine. The so called anti-semitism 'problem' in the Labour Party is an entire fiction, which has been repeated in every media outlet so as to establish it as the truth. In all these shenanigans, not a single example of actual anti semitism has been offered. The agenda is two fold. It is principally an attack on Jeremy Corbyn and his challenge to the neo liberal agenda which has been pursued by both Labour and Tory governments for many years now. It has resulted in the selling off of all our national assets and utilites; has driven down wages, and left the public sector in ruins.  But how to attack Corbyn without attacking his policies which are very popular? Lets make out that this man, with a history of fighting racism and anti semitism all his life, is a nazi in disguise! One after another, leading Labour activists, many of them Jewish, have been smeared with anti semitism! TimP has repeated the lies about Jackie Walker, especially hated by the right, as she is both Jewish and black. The pro Israel Lobby are happy to join the  Labour right in attacking Corbyn. Their agenda? Stop anyone from discussing Israel's crimes against the Palestinians, particularly Corbyn, who is opposed to all oppression and who is seen as a threat to the whole pro Israel project. Jackie Walker was secretly recorded at an anti semitism event, in what was supposed to be a 'safe space' where she, as a  Jew, had to consider that Jews, among others had been involved in financing the slave trade. As a person of African heritage, she had to deal with those contradictions. It was in the context of discussing race and anti semitism. Tim P not only takes her quote out of context, but misquotes her. Chris Williamson was only speaking the truth, and the fact that he has been attacked so viciously is testament to the truth he spoke. Noah Tucker also has the guts to stand up and tell the truth, and we need many more like him if we are to remove the lies and smears which are being used to bring down Jeremy Corbyn and his project which is nothing more or less than this country desperately needs.

Eek

Sums it up doesn’t it. Depressing 

Er Phil . . . so what you are saying is there is some kind of 'pro-Israeli' plot to bring down Corbyn in order to maintain a 'neo-liberal' world order? 

Can you understand why many people find that a very troubling line of argument that has horrendous historical resonance?

I wouldn't describe it as you do, but it is not far fetched to point out Israeli government funded attempts to smear and discredit Pro Palestinian MPs

The Lobby - Al Jazeera English

The recent Al Jazeera sting exposing Israeli attempts to 'take down' Alan Duncan and infiltrate the Labour party show this. 

The excellent Jonathan Cook also writes about Israeli government dirty tricks and attempts to discredit its critics internationally and specifically Corbyn.

Is Israel’s hand behind the attacks on Jeremy Corbyn?

I wouldn't be too dismissive. It's not some anti semitic conspiracy to point out Israeli attempts to discredit Corbyn

Well I was right.  The Labour Party stood no chance with his type.  Another labour Cllr from Haringey had to stand down as a general election candidate for anti Semitic comments  

Tucker has a history of this behaviour. Let’s see if Labour is fit to govern by kicking him out.  Useless Cllr too. Does nothing in his ward.
