\"Witch<\/a><\/h5>\n
A witch hunt is a dangerous game. It entails a merciless campaign directed against\u00a0 people who hold unorthodox or unpopular views. But, as Jewish history tells us, a witch hunt can backfire and turn the pursuer into the hunted.<\/h5>\n
Jewish past is littered with witch hunts that boomeranged. In fact, the birth of Christianity contains a classic example of this. Jesus\u2019 persecution began with a hate campaign against a whistle blower who held some radical views, such as \u2018love your neighbor\u2019 or \u2018turn the other cheek.\u2019 Historically, it was the Sanhedrin war against Jesus that made him into Christ \u2013 the message as well as the messenger.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Jesus wasn\u2019t the only casualty of such a campaign. The history of Jewish herem <\/a><\/span>\u00a0(Hebrew for excommunication), tells us that Spinoza was subjected to the apparatus of a similar highly orchestrated witch hunt. In the Jewish world,\u00a0 Herem\u00a0<\/em>is the highest rabbinical censure, such a verdict commands that the person suffer total exclusion from the Jewish community and beyond. As with Christ, it was Spinoza\u2019s humanism and universalism, and not the dictates of the inquisitor rabbis, that planted the seeds of enlightenment and progress. While Spinoza\u2019s Jewish contemporaries didn\u2019t approve of the Dutch Jewish philosopher, the Goyim couldn\u2019t have enough of his Wisdom.<\/h5>\n
The Hasbara Handbook indicates that Israel is very concerned that it will be subjected to \u2018name calling.\u2019\u00a0 \u201cThrough the careful choice of words, the name calling technique links a person or an idea to a negative symbol. \u00a0Creating negative connotations by name calling is done to try and get the audience to reject a person or idea on the basis of negative association, without allowing a real examination of that person or idea.”(Hasbara Handbook<\/a><\/span> p 22) \u00a0It is interesting that the Hasbara Manual complains that Israel\u2019s enemies employ name calling. The truth is the opposite. Name calling is actually a state policy of Israel. It is certainly Israel firsters\u2019 most popular device. Far more concerning to me\u00a0is that Jewish so called \u2018anti\u2019 Zionists use\u00a0 exactly the same tactics. Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Jewish BDS have been smearing those whom they want to cleanse out of \u2018their\u2019 solidarity movement. We have seen JVP and Mondoweiss witch hunting, name calling and issuing their Herem<\/em> against Alison Weir<\/a><\/span>, Ken Okeefe<\/span>,<\/a> Greta Berlin<\/a><\/span>, yours truly and many others. What do these vile campaigns have in common? I will let you guess.<\/h5>\n
Name-calling, witch hunts and herem <\/em>are designed to stop any lone voice from spreading beyond the walls of the ghetto. At his trial, Jesus was presented by the Sanhedrin as an enemy of the Roman Empire. The Rabbinical body intended Spinoza’s excommunication<\/a> <\/span>to impact the church. When Alison Weir is attacked, she is often criticized for her alleged \u2018connection\u2019 with white nationalists in an attempt to make the attack resonate with the wider community. I have been slandered as a \u2018racist\u2019 although I have never presented a single critical reference to race or biology.<\/h5>\n
What is fascinating about the herem<\/em> ritual is both its complete lack of mercy and the role it allocates to the Goy<\/em>. An examination of how the British Labour Party became an inquisitor provides us with a window into the metaphysics of the witch hunt mechanism.<\/h5>\n
Since the election of Jeremy Corbyn as the party\u2019s leader, British Labour has been openly operating as a thought policing apparatus. The party has been played as an instrument of the Zionist global witch hunt. It has been purging, evicting, suspending and expelling some of\u00a0its best and most ethical members. Ken Livingstone, probably the last true socialist in the Kingdom was suspended<\/a><\/span> numerous times\u00a0for telling the truth about Hitler, Zionism and Palestine. Hundreds if not thousands of other members have been suspended and\/or expelled for supporting human rights in Palestine.<\/h5>\n
The British public has witnessed all of this with dismay. Labour Party members watched their party with disbelief. But none of that matured into any significant protest. \u00a0This has now changed.\u00a0 Hell broke loose when the Islington Council (Labour) decided to stop me from playing my Saxophone<\/a><\/span> with the Blockheads in one of its venues. Thousands signed a petition<\/a> <\/span>expressing disgust with the Labour Council, Hundreds filled complains with the Council. Many others expressed their total dismay with how the Labour Party has managed to fall into every possible trap in this affair.<\/h5>\n
As is consistent with the Jewish past, the witch hunt\u00a0has boomeranged. This last slander campaign against me revealed an astonishing continuum between Likud and British Labour<\/a><\/span>. When the story made it to the national press, the Labour Party panicked. Like Pilate, it made the wrong decision which has backfired colossally. Instead of the people judging me, it is the Labour Party that is under scrutiny. Although many of us are sympathetic to Corbyn, the actual workings of the Labour Party have been devastating and perhaps tragic. The Labour Party is running a Stasi like operation, operating as a hateful opponent of elementary freedoms. If the Labour Party in its current form manages to win an election, it may mark the end to Britain as a free country (assuming that it still is). This might sound like a radical prediction but it isn\u2019t original. Orwell saw it coming in 1936 while in Spain. He was slightly wrong about the date (1984). I predicted this fatal transition in my recent book Being in Time.<\/h5>\n
By no means do I compare myself to Jesus Christ or Spinoza. Instead,\u00a0 I am trying to point out that what is at play here is the classic ritual of a witch-hunt. This time it is the Likud UK instead of the Sanhedrins that has instigated a non ethical anti humane campaign through a proxy operator that happens to be the Labour Party. In this saga, a Labour Council was happy to play the role of Pilate. The Labour Party has been exploring this treacherous role for at least three years. Yet no one seemed to care when hundreds of Labour members were unfairly punished by their party. People have watched the absurd impunity with which Jewish pressure groups have been terrorizing the British media and political universes. But the public reacted differently in my case. First because the idea that the director of Likud UK, a body that in the eyes of many is associated with crypto fascist ideology, can interfere with British culture and politics is sickening. But there is another reason.<\/h5>\n
My offering is a message of hope. It counters the path towards destruction that is advocated by pro war Zionist enthusiasts. It transcends beyond the politicized left\/right agenda to exist in the realm of the philosophical and the universal. People seem to take my side because they are expressing their fatigue with the institutional duplicitous narrative imposed on them by the media, politics and academia. People are rallying behind me because this battle is theirs as much as it is mine: they fight for my right to express what they think but are afraid to say.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
