This is wonderful news. He's formally confirmed as an antisemite, refuses to apologise and Labour welcomes him back into it's poisonous fold. Given the chaos of a Conservative Party that can't do right for doing wrong, Johnson will see this as a Godsend.

By nobody but the zionists and that is a form of racism in itself. When will you accept that it's all a smokescreen because their real hatred is reserved for socialism.

 

Corbyn has been vindicated because the EHRC allows for members to have the right to defend their position. The reason given for his suspension in the first place would not have lasted five minutes in the hands of a semi-competent lawyer.

Sir Keir Starmer to keep whip withdrawn from Jeremy Corbyn

Sir Keir Starmer said Jeremy Corbyn had undermined his mission to “root out antisemitism” from Labour

 

 

Sir Keir Starmer has blocked Jeremy Corbyn from sitting as a Labour MP after he was readmitted as a party member, following outcry from MPs and Jewish groups.

The Labour leader said he was determined to “root out antisemitism” from Labour and that he would not restore the party whip to Mr Corbyn because his actions had “undermined” that mission.

Mr Corbyn’s 19-day suspension from Labour membership was lifted yesterday but Sir Keir initially declined to take an immediate decision on whether to readmit him to the parliamentary party.

Today Sir Keir said: “Jeremy Corbyn’s actions in response to the EHRC [Equality and Human Rights Commission] report undermined and set back our work in restoring trust and confidence in the Labour Party’s ability to tackle antisemitism.

“In those circumstances, I have taken the decision not to restore the whip to Jeremy Corbyn. I will keep this situation under review.

“I know that I will be judged on my actions, not my words. The disciplinary process does not have the confidence of the Jewish community. That became clear once again yesterday.”

 

Marie van der Zyl, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, who had branded the party’s decision to reinstate Mr Corbyn to membership an “absolute sham”, said: “Keir Starmer has now taken the appropriate leadership decision not to restore the whip to Jeremy Corbyn.

“We continue to say that ‘zero tolerance’ must mean precisely that, whether for antisemites or their apologists.”

 

The decision came amid uproar among Jewish groups and Labour MPs about the restoration of Mr Corbyn’s party membership.

Dame Margaret Hodge, Labour’s most senior Jewish MP, did not deny reports that she was considering her position in the party as a result of Mr Corbyn’s reinstatement and is understood to be taking time to reflect.

Last night she described Mr Corbyn’s readmission to membership as “a broken outcome from a broken system” and said: “I simply cannot comprehend why it is acceptable for Corbyn to be a Labour MP if he thinks antisemitism is exaggerated and a political attack, refuses to apologise, never takes responsibility for his actions and rejects the findings of the EHRC report.”

 

A shadow minister told The Times: “The signal yesterday has sent is terrible. It’s an insult to the Jewish community and undermines the good work Keir has been doing on this issue. Fast-tracked treatment when other cases take years, and a terrible signal to the public that Labour hadn’t changed after all.”

 

However, Jon Lansman, an old ally of Mr Corbyn and founder of the campaign group Momentum, said that Sir Keir’s decision not to restore the whip amounted to “political interference”.

Mr Lansman tweeted that the move had “driven a coach and horses through the party’s disciplinary process, making it subservient to the parliamentary party and embedding ‘political interference’. The whip was only removed because he had been suspended!”

Last night Sir Keir had insisted he would “not allow a focus on one individual to prevent us from doing the vital work of tackling antisemitism” and vowed to make Labour “a safe place for Jewish people”.

 

Mr Corbyn was left in limbo after a panel of the party’s ruling national executive committee (NEC) decided to lift the suspension imposed after his criticism of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) report into antisemitism in Labour.

Mr Corbyn was suspended for claiming that antisemitism in Labour had been “dramatically overstated for political reasons” after the EHRC said that the party had unlawfully discriminated against Jewish members.

Mr Corbyn’s allies had said that Mr Corbyn was automatically returned to the Labour whip after he was readmitted to the party, and that Sir Keir would have to make a conscious decision to withdraw it. They seized on a clause in the Labour Party rulebook that states that Labour MPs must also be members of the parliamentary Labour Party.

James Schneider, the former director of strategic communications for Mr Corbyn, told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4: “It’s automatic. Jeremy Corbyn is a Labour MP with the whip restored. It would be a decision for the leadership to now withdraw the whip if that’s what they wanted to do.”

 

However, sources close to the Labour leadership argued that Mr Corbyn did not automatically become a Labour MP after his membership was restored, and that it was up to Sir Keir whether or not to make him one.

It comes after Mr Corbyn said that he believed that antisemitism complaints in the party were “neither exaggerated nor overstated”. This clarification, which he originally sent to Labour after he was suspended last month, was made public yesterday, putting pressure on the party to readmit him.

 

In a joint statement the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Jewish Leadership Council, and the Community Security Trust said his reinstatement was “a retrograde step for the party in its relations with the Jewish community”.

 

The five-member NEC panel that took yesterday’s decision was balanced between the left-wing and centrist factions. It consisted of two allies of Mr Corbyn, two allies of Sir Keir and one figure on the moderate left.

Its decision was welcomed by the key Corbyn ally Len McCluskey, the general secretary of the Unite union, Labour’s biggest donor, who described it as “correct, fair and unifying”.

 

Sir Keir has maintained that he has no personal involvement in antisemitism cases, but that he supported the party’s decision to suspend Mr Corbyn. The former Labour leader had been considering taking legal action against the party if he was expelled.

 

In his statement Mr Corbyn did not explicitly apologise, but he said he regretted “the pain this issue has caused the Jewish community and would wish to do nothing that would exacerbate or prolong it”.

He said: “To be clear, concerns about antisemitism are neither ‘exaggerated’ nor ‘overstated’. The point I wished to make was that the vast majority of Labour Party members were and remain committed anti-racists deeply opposed to antisemitism.”

In his original response to the EHRC report last month the former Labour leader said he did not accept all of the watchdog’s findings, and accused his political opponents and the media of exaggerating the issue.

 

Sir Keir pledged to introduce an independent process for handling antisemitism complaints as part of his response to the EHRC report. Labour must draft an action plan by December 10 on how it will implement its recommendations.

And Starmer - late of 'Desert Island Discs' - has the nerve to call for unity. He is a Tory through and through as all the other infiltrators. The Labour Party was founded in order to give political representation to the unionised working class, not to be turned into the British equivalent of the US Democratic Party who once had a senator who proclaimed: "These are my principles, but if you don't like them I can change them."

I was pretty much keeping out of this, but came across this, perhaps I am part Red Sea Pedestrian after all?

 

 

 

 

On the beautiful Ulster flag there is a "Red Hand" mounted on the "Star of David", under a Royal Crown. Why would symbols of Israel's royalty be on the flag of people who have been taught that they are gentiles?

It is because they are NOT gentiles but Israelites who have lost the knowledge of their true identity and the PROOF is on the flag.

Jacob/Israel's fourth son, who was called Judah, had twin sons called Zarah and Pharez, recorded in Genesis 38: 28-30. When the twins were due to be born Zarah put his hand out of the womb and the midwife tied a "Red Cord" around his wrist to mark the first-born and his birthright. However, Zarah of the "Red-Hand" pulled his hand back and his brother Pharez was born first and so breached Zarah's birthright and was therefore named Pharez meaning breach in Hebrew.

Because Zarah lost his birthright he went into exile to Iberia (Heberia - the Hebrew's land) and built Zaragossa ("Stronghold of Zarah"). Later on the Israelites' traditional enemy Babylon and then Rome (the New Babylon) invaded Iberia (Spain) and drove the Zarahites of the "Red-Hand" to the North of Spain to Galicia and Vizcaya (Biscay) and many left Heberia (Iberia) and sailed to Hibernia (Hebernia - the Hebrew's new land) - Ireland.

In Jerusalem, from Zarah's brother Pharez, came the line of David and Solomon, whose symbol is the "Star of David". So how did the "Star of David" come to Ireland and find its way onto the Ulster Flag?

Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon overthrew king Zedekiah of Jerusalem, from the line of David, c. 588 B.C. and Jeremiah the Prophet took Zedekiah's daughter called Teia Tephi, Jacob's Pillar (The Lia Fail / Stone of Destiny) and "The Ark of The Covenant" from Jerusalem via Tanis in Egypt ("Raiders of the Lost Ark" film); Gibraltar; Galicia and Cornwall and brought them to Ireland for safety.

Teia Tephi the queen of Israel and Gibraltar landed at Howth on 18/6/583 B.C. and travelled to Tara where she married Eochaidh the High king of Ireland on 21/6/583 B.C. Eochaidh was from Judah/Zarah of the "Red-Hand" and Teia Tephi was from the line of David and when they married they sealed the breach caused hundreds of years previously, when Judah's twin sons had been born. With their marriage-union we have the "Red-Hand" mounted on the "Star of David" under the single Royal Crown, symbolizing the union of the two royal lines, which sprang from Judah.
