Labour MP Luciana Berger at court ahead of anti-semitism hearing - Daily Mail

Dozens of Labour politicians marched across Westminster today in an extraordinary show of support for Jewish MP Ruth Smeeth ahead of an anti-Semitism hearing. Ms Smeeth (pictured, main pictured, in the black and white dress with Labour MPs Luciana Berger and Jess Phillips) came face to face with Marc Wadsworth - the activist who left her in tears at the launch of the Labour anti-Semitism report after accusing her of working 'hand in hand' with the press - at the hearing. Around 50 MPs and peers escorted Ms Smeeth from Parliament to the hearing held nearby to show that they support her. Wes Streeting, Labour MP for Ilford North who organised the march, said it is an 'appalling state of affairs' that a Labour MP must be escorted for fear of intimation. The striking scenes come amid widespread disappointment among Labour backbenchers after Jeremy Corbyn's (pictured, bottom right inset) long-anticipated meeting with Jewish leaders ended in failure last night.

Can someone tell me what those Labour MP's are protecting this Luciana lady from?, if she can't handle some peaceful protestors like this she needs to find herself a new job...

Anyone who does not recognize that the torrent of antisemitism accusations leveled at the Labour Party from all quarters has nothing to do with antisemitism per se and everything to do with the attempt to gag public discussion, and where appropriate, condemn nation the proto-fascist state of Israel under it's current government for it's treatment of the Palestinians. Those Labour MPs, including this particular nonentity, shouting antisemitism the loudest are acting as nothing more than a mouthpiece for influential Jewish groups and lobbyists like The Board of Deputies of British Jews and The Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre as this excerpt from The Independent of September 2014 by Mira Bar Hillel the Israeli philosopher illustrates :-

"It also made me wonder why this was the case, and also why the all-powerful nuclear-armed State of Israel was asserting itself over the Palestinians so murderously, killing hundreds of children without as much as a slap on the wrist from the British government.
Is there a guiding hand behind the strategy of making people so afraid of being accused of anti-Semitism (as Yasmin Alibhai-Brown has explained so clearly) that they will feel unable to use their right to free speech, while at the same time alarming British Jews with the ludicrous spectre of “Germany in the 1930s” and “another holocaust”?"

I am glad this attack on Jeremy and the left is now over. Amber Rudd's demise seems to have set us free.
