Margaret Hodge has cheapened, trivialised the memory of Jews in Nazi Germany. She should be ashamed of herself over this abuse of the most painful episode in Jewish history

We know from experience that

is an ally of Jewish community & all minorities in fight against oppression. He's been villified in media & sanctioned by
@UKLabour
for telling the truth about the scale of antisemitism the Labour Party
The Home Secretary’s Tweet for Jewish New Year – Suggesting that those who support Corbyn are not 'decent'. He's used a Jewish festival in order to make a political point, which includes saying that Jews who support Corbyn are bad Jews
The Jewish Socialists’ Group will campaign with others to remove

& his Party from office through a General Election, so we can replace them, democratically, with a Corbyn-led

government committed to equality and social justice.

The Jewish Socialist Group always stands with the oppressed, never with the oppressor. To the Israeli Government we say - End discrimination. Stop human rights abuses. End the occupation.
#NoToAnnexation
This horrible, cynical accusation by people who claim to represent the Jewish community against a left-led Labour Party is not only libellous but threatening and potentially very dangerous.

On 11.5 Theresa May tweeted, congratulations to Dr Mahathir on his election. Mahathir has said ‘Jews rule the world by proxy" & ‘I am glad to be labeled antisemitic"

We mourn the deaths of 16 Palestinians killed & the over fourteen hundred reported wounded by the Israeli Army yesterday, 30th March 2018, when Palestinians’ Land Day coincided with the first day of Passover, our own festival of freedom from oppression.

Tonight is the 1st night of Hanukah - the festival of lights and a miracle. We could do with some miracles in the world today to stop wars, climate catastrophe and the oppression of the oppressed by the oppressors.
1 Socialist anti-Zionist Jews have always been there. Now with a coalition of Jewish groups ‘in solidarity with the Palestinians on all the protests against Israel’s war crimes in Gaza’ it’s harder for the main stream media to ignore us
Time has come to call their bluff. Whose bluff? The self-proclaimed self-important leadership of the Jewish community, who don’t want to talk to Jeremy at all – they just want to talk at him

We are sad to hear that outstanding socialist & internationalist

As a Jew, I have become increasingly worried that the charge of antisemitism is being levelled to silence legitimate and important debate. Antisemitism is on the rise, but there is also a rise in the unscrupulous use of the term to silence reasonable questions about the Israeli

We cannot allow the issue of antisemitism to be used to divide Jews from our neighbours.

Not a Nazi slogan. But a vile thing to say. The Jüdenrat were councils set up in ghettos by the Nazis made up of Jews - amongst things they had to decide was lists of names to go to the camps. Basically saying - if you’re pro Palestinian you’re helping Nazis
