Gas Chamber hoax  Anti-Semitism  Ken Livingstone

"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."- Voltaire

[Leaving aside the Political Mafia pimp for the Military Industrial Complex, hence New Labour/Blair genocide in Iraq etc, this is a Zionist Anti-Semitism press release masquerading as journalism, even Ken Livingstone bottled it by saying 'before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews'.   Firstly, from memory, Livingston mentioned the well documented Haavara (Transfer) Agreement (see Nazi-Zionist co-operation  Funding of Hitler/Nazis) as Nazi-Jewish co-operation.  Notice how this is never mentioned, just the 'fact' he is an Anti-Semitism, i.e. racist.  Jewish heavyweights weight in: Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis (see Judaism, Rabbi quotes Rabbi quote memes) Jewish Labour MP Luciana Berger, Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade Barry Gardiner, Lisa Nandy, Tulip Siddiq, Michael Dugher,  (previous Shadow Secretary for Culture, Media and Sport) said a classic:  'Labour have spent 12 months investigating what to every sensible person is an open-and-shut case.' Open and shut?  They sure wish, if so why the fuss?  Karen Pollock CEO of the Holocaust Educational Trust.  Educational? Joe Glasman, Head of Political and Government Investigations at Campaign Against Antisemitism with another propaganda classic: 'His claim that Hitler acted in support of Zionism, along with his constant repetition of that distortion, has been a repulsive spectacle.'  And the Labour MP John Mann  incident.  Now, he has to be a sociopath or a very Useful idiot to get that worked up and nasty over a monstrous lie.
    A great smorgasbord of Zionists or Zionist stooges. It's Authority ploy, to use the same terminology, by Authoritarian leaders (Social dominators) & Double Highs.  They did it with vaccines recently 350 organizations write Trump to endorse current vaccines’ safety. All the politicians will be Friends of Israel (UK) i.e. working for Israel (see Israel control of UK).

 4 April 2017

A furious row erupted inside and outside the Labour party last night after former London mayor Ken Livingstone was 'given a slap on the wrist' over anti-Semitic comments.

Mr Livingstone – who had been suspended from the party last April over remarks saying Hitler had supported Zionism – was handed a further 12-month ban from representing Labour.

He will remain a full member of the party and will still be allowed to take part in Labour votes and attend meetings.

But MPs, including some from his own party's shadow cabinet, described the move as 'shameful' and said the party leadership had 'bottled it' and should have expelled the controversial politician.

And Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said Labour had failed the Jewish community in Britain.

Ken Livingstone has today been suspended from the Labour party for another year over claims about Hitler's links to Zionists

 

The former Mayor of London was suspended from the party in April last year after claiming that Hitler supported Zionism in the 1930s 'before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews'

Mr Mirvis said: 'This was a chance for the Labour Party to show that it would not tolerate wilful and unapologetic baiting of the Jewish community, by shamefully using the Holocaust as a tool with which to inflict the maximum amount of offence.

'Worryingly, the party has yet again failed to show that it is sufficiently serious about tackling the scourge of anti-Semitism.

'The Labour Party has failed the Jewish community, it has failed its members and it has failed all those who believe in zero tolerance of anti-Semitism.' 

The former Mayor of London was suspended from the party in April last year after claiming that Hitler supported Zionism in the 1930s 'before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews'. 

He refused to apologise for his comments when speaking to the media after the hearing in Westminster, adding that had been 'suspended for stating the truth'. 

The decision was also slammed by senior members of the Labour Party. 

Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade Barry Gardiner said Livingstone had 'caused enormous offence and should have apologised'. 

'He was found guilty of bringing the Party into disrepute and should be expelled,' he said.

Labour MP Luciana Berger, who is herself Jewish, tweeted: 'A new low for my party this evening. Appalling decision. Why is antisemitism being treated differently from any other form of racism?' 

Lisa Nandy said: 'Standing against racism is one of the many reasons I'm proud to be in the Labour Party. Today is a sad day for this movement.'

Tulip Siddiq, who represents Hampstead and Kilburn, called the ruling 'absolutely ridiculous' and asked: 'Why has this man not been expelled?' 

Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy added: 'What more does he have to say or do to be told there is no place for him in Labour movement?'

He refused to apologise for his comments when speaking to the media after the hearing in Westminster, adding that had been 'suspended for stating the truth'

Michael Dugher, who previously served as Shadow Secretary for Culture, Media and Sport under Jeremy Corbyn, told The Independent: 'Labour have spent 12 months investigating what to every sensible person is an open-and-shut case. 

'This looks like an embarrassing fudge. The Jewish Board of Deputies said it was anti-Semitism, as did the Holocaust Education Trust, the Jewish Labour Movement and the chief rabbi.

'Is the party really saying it knows more about anti-Semitism than the chief rabbi? The current reluctance of the party to apparently take swift and severe action against Livingstone does us no credit whatsoever.' 

A Jewish Labour Movement statement: 'One year suspension is insufficient for a party the claims zero tolerance on antisemitism. 

'This is a betrayal of our Party's values. One year suspension allows for a revolving door for repeat offenders.' 

Karen Pollock CEO of the Holocaust Educational Trust said: 'Ken Livingstone has continued to cause significant pain and great offence to the Jewish community with his persistent rewriting of history. We have spent over a year now having to tolerate misinformation and falsehoods about the Holocaust - including during this hearing.

'This verdict is a slap on the wrist for a serial offender. That a mainstream political party would consider these views to be welcome within their ranks simply demonstrates that antisemitism is not taken as seriously as all other forms of racism and prejudice.'

Joe Glasman, Head of Political and Government Investigations at Campaign Against Antisemitism said: 'Ken Livingstone has been portraying Jews as Nazis for decades.

'His claim that Hitler acted in support of Zionism, along with his constant repetition of that distortion, has been a repulsive spectacle. 

'We felt sure that the Labour Party, blighted by antisemitism as it is, would reclaim some of its former self and expel him. Labour has long had a moral duty to expel Ken Livingstone, but instead it has allowed his vile views to gain support in the Party. 

'Today's verdict confirms our worst fears: that it is possible to husband and broadcast such repellant beliefs and still remain a Labour Party member has shocked even us. This surely represents the last of the death throes of the Labour Party's long relationship with the Jewish community. 

'The Labour Party had this one last chance to prove that it is not beyond salvation. Today's decision is the party's final act of brazen, painful betrayal.'

Mr Livingstone, who had threatened to launch a judicial review if he was expelled from the party, said he would now consult with lawyers about his legal position.

The ex-mayor said earlier he had expected to be expelled because the disciplinary panel investigating the case was dominated by 'right-wingers'. 

Addressing a crowd of journalists immediately after the hearing, Mr Livingstone said: 'The panel have decided that I should be suspended for one more year and during that time I can't stand for Parliament or my local council.

'I expected them to expel me, so I've now got to consider whether I challenge this legally or just live with it.

'As I'm not seeking a return to Parliament or to stand for the local council, it doesn't make a great deal of change.'

Mr Livingstone said the experience 'was like sitting through a court in North Korea'.

He maintained that he had not brought the party into disrepute, saying: 'There's an issue here that matters - should someone be disciplined for stating a historical truth, and I think that's really important.

'I'm not going to make an immediate decision, I've got to sit around and think about this with the lawyers.

Today's Labour Party panel extended my suspension for another year because of my political views, not because I have done anything to harm the Labour Party.

'The Labour Party's disciplinary process was not in accord with natural justice in a number of ways. For example the panel hearing was not held in public, despite the fact that it could have been under Labour's rules. I was suspended for more than 11 months before the hearing was held.

'Scheduling the final day of this disciplinary hearing, on the day the Labour Party launched its campaign for the May 4 elections, was a supreme misjudgment by whoever planned this in the Labour Party headquarters.

'It was clearly not in Labour's interests as the hearing will inevitably generate unfavourable headlines at a time when Labour should be focused on campaigning.

'I will be launching a campaign to overturn my suspension of party membership.' 

On Saturday, 32 Jewish members of the Labour Party, including the mother of former leader Ed Miliband, backed Mr Livingstone ahead of the hearing conclusion in a letter to The Times. 

A Labour Party spokesman said: 'The National Constitutional Committee of the Labour Party has today found that all three charges of a breach of the Labour Party's rule 2.1.8 by Ken Livingstone have been found proved.

'The NCC consequently determined that the sanction for the breach of Labour Party rules will be suspension from holding office and representation within the Labour Party for two years.

'Taking account of the period of administrative suspension already served the period of suspension will end on 27 April 2018. The Labour Party will make no further comment on this matter.' 

Labour's shadow attorney general, Shami Chakrabarti, who carried out a controversial inquiry into allegations of anti-Semitism in the party before being made a peer by Jeremy Corbyn, said: 'Labour is the party of both equality and natural justice. 

'This is demonstrated by its record of legislation in Government and its ability to look at itself fairly and carefully in the mirror in more difficult times, however painful this might be.

'I hope people might now revisit my report and remind themselves of better ways to argue about difficult issues without compromising our values of solidarity, tolerance and respect.'  

After his suspension last year, he was then embroiled in a furious on-camera confrontation with Labour MP John Mann who accused him of being a 'Nazi apologist' and 'disgrace'. 

But arriving in Westminster for the hearing of Labour's national constitutional committee last week, Mr Livingstone insisted he had nothing to apologise for.

'I simply said, back in 1933 Hitler's government signed a deal with the Zionist movement, which would mean that Germany's Jewish community were moved to what is now Israel,' he told reporters at the time.

'They started selling Mauser pistols to the independent Jewish army.

'You had, right up until the start of the Second World War, real collaboration.'

The Labour veteran, a close ally of Jeremy Corbyn, also complained that the hearing was being held in private.

'It's completely unfair. We have a tradition of law and that is open,' he said.

'There's absolutely no justification for something like this being done in private.'

Mr Mann branded the former London Mayor a 'Nazi apologist' and a 'disgrace' during the clash

He pointed out that he had been defending Labour MP Naz Shah after she suggested Israel should be 'relocated into the United States'.

'They have dropped all the charges that I'm anti-Semitic,' he said.

'They've dropped the charge that I said Hitler was a Zionist.

'It's really coming down to claiming I brought the party into disrepute by defending Naz Shah.

'As she's been readmitted to the party that does seem a bit excessive to try and expel me for supporting her.' 

Mr Livingstone insisted he had nothing to apologise for, repeating his previous argument that he had only stated historical fact.

It is not the first time Mr Livingstone has become embroiled in an anti-Semitism row.

In 2006 a High Court judge said he made 'unnecessarily offensive' and 'indefensible' remarks likening a Jewish reporter to a Nazi concentration camp guard. But he was cleared of bringing the office of mayor into disrepute.

Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said Mr Livingstone had persisted in causing offence.

She said: 'Even when it has been made blatantly clear that his comments have caused deep hurt and offence to Jewish people, and in particular to Holocaust survivors, still Ken Livingstone has persisted down this route promoting a misleading and misinformed version of history to further his agenda. Enough is enough.'

In a written submission to the panel, Mr Livingstone said he had 'raised the issue of the collaboration between Hitler and a section of Zionism in the early 1930s' as a result of a misunderstanding of presenter Vanessa Feltz's question during a BBC London interview.

He said he had 'no intention' to cause offence but was 'sorry' if his remarks did so.

He claimed 'supporters of Israel' had called on Labour to expel him to 'silence' his criticism of 'Israeli aggression'.

'I did not say or suggest that Hitler was a Zionist. I did not make any equation of Hitler and Zionism. I neither criticised the transfer agreement or the section of Zionism that participated in the agreement,' Mr Livingstone added.

Mr Livingstone, who was being represented by high profile lawyer Michael Mansfield QC, was previously expelled from the party when he announced he would stand as an independent in the London mayoral race after losing the Labour selection process.
