Calls grow for ban on Vergès
The paper reports that Mike Freer MP, vice-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism, hopes to raise the visit of French-Vietnamese lawyer Jacques Vergès with Home Secretary Theresa May.
Others are adding their voices to the campaign. A spokesperson for the Community Security Trust, which represents and advises the Jewish community on security and antisemitism, said: “It is hard to see how Jacques Vergès’ record of defending Nazis, Holocaust Deniers, mass murderers and terrorists can contribute anything worthwhile to a debate on international justice. This invitation smacks of the kind of attention-seeking sensationalism that can only damage the reputation of an institution like SOAS.”
And Karen Pollock, Chief Executive, Holocaust Educational Trust told Searchlight: “It seems perverse that any prestigious institution would welcome Jacques Vergès, a notorious figure, who over the decades has defended Nazi war criminals and Holocaust deniers with apparent relish – and whose extremely controversial views would surely undermine any serious academic debate.”

Jewish leaders condemn the English Defence League
The Jewish Chronicle reports that the English Defence League has established a Jewish division. The far right, anti-Islam protest group whose violent nature was exposed by the Guardian last week (and covered by the NS here) has professed support for Israel in the past and is now urging British Jews to "lead the counter-Jihad fight in England".
But its advances have been swiftly rebuffed by Jewish leaders. Mark Gardner, communications director for the Community Security Trust, told the Chronicle:
'The EDL intimidate entire Muslim communities, causing tension and fear. Jews ought to remember that we have long experience of being on the receiving end of this kind of bigotry.'Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said:
'The EDL's supposed 'support' for Israel is empty and duplicitous. It is built on a foundation of Islamophobia and hatred which we reject entirely.The Staggers
Sadly, we know only too well what hatred for hatred's sake can cause. The overwhelming majority will not be drawn in by this transparent attempt to manipulate a tense political conflict.'

EDL and SIOE opposed by Christians and Jews
Anti-Muslim groups SIOE and EDL say they have Jewish supporters, but leading members of the Jewish community have condemned the SIOE protest against Harrow Mosque, planned for Dec 13. Rabbis Kathleen Middleton, Frank Smith, Aaron Goldstein, Hillel Robles and Mike Hilton sent a letter supporting Harrow Mosque, saying SIOE use "outrageous lies" to try and divide Harrow's community. SIOE protests have also been condemned by Harrow's (Jewish) Tory councillor Jeremy Zeid, by the Jewish Chronicle newspaper and the Community Security Trust (who monitor racist activity on behalf of the Jewish community).
When SIOE re-scheduled a cancelled EDL protest against Harrow Mosque on Sept 11, SIOE used their protest to slander an entire community by false association with 9/11. On the day however, less than 15 EDL hooligans, half a dozen known BNP goons and lone SIOE activist Stephen Gash were opposed by over 1,000 Anti-Fascists.
Believing the police were protecting the same racists who'd fire-bombed Luton Mosque, a handful of anti-SIOE counter-protestors played into the hands of the SIOE by throwing stones and bottles at the police, before they were stopped by other Anti-Fascists and by Mosque stewards. Few TV reports showed that (despite alot of footage of people simply running around) the counter-protest had been overwhelmingly peaceful. BNP leafletting teams visited Harrow soon after, to try to capitalise on the problem SIOE attempted to create - proving the link between provocative right-wing protests and the BNP. To prove the link between SIOE and extremism once and for all however, SIOE also support the Serbian mass-murderer Radovan Karadzic.
In this video Harrow Mosque officials are seen meeting with local Hindu and Christian leaders, and inviting SIOE to visit the Mosque to discuss their grievances - let's see whether Stephen Gash has the courage to accept!
PLEASE COUNTER-PROTEST PEACEFULLY against the SIOE on Dec 13 (Hizb ut-Tahrir and Al-Mahajiroun etc please do what you asked your supporters to do and STAY AWAY).

CST warns Jews against joining anti-Muslim demo

SIOE have been canvassing support from British Jews to attend their forthcoming demonstration at Harrow mosque. Emails have been circulated by SIOE, including one sent to the Jewish Chronicle, asking for support. SIOE have urged Jews to bring Israeli flags to the demonstration on December 13, and have said their aim is to recruit 1,000 Jews to join the protest.
The group’s motto, according to their website, is “Racism is the lowest form of human stupidity, but Islamophobia is the height of common sense”. A statement on their website declares: “If you do not attend this demonstration then you are prepared to see Israel wiped off the map. Vile antisemitism is being preached in mosques across the world and almost certainly the one in your neighbourhood.”
The CST has drawn attention to the Islamaphobic comments on SIOE’s website, and compared the group to the English Defence League, and the BNP’s Nick Griffin, who have attempted to gain support from Jews through pro-Israel and anti-Muslim statements.
The blog singled out a central image on the SIOE’s website [pictured, top-left], which shows a skull with blood dripping from its mouth on the front of a mosque, where the minaret and crescent moon and star symbol is also covered in blood. On its blog, the CST says: “This image tells us everything we need to know about SIOE and Islamophobia. If a Jew cannot understand why the image is racist, or hateful, or bigoted then they should try imagining it as a synagogue: with blood dripping from a Star of David; with blood dripping down the rabbi’s pulpit; and with blood dripping from the mouth of a skull that wears an Israeli army helmet.”
The CST emphasises that while the Jewish community should be concerned about extreme Islamist groups. Jews had a duty to stand up to prejudice and hatred
“The fact that Muslims are the current target simply means that it is Muslims who should be the recipients of anti-racist solidarity. Hatred, division, cycles of inter-communal violence, intimidation and polarisation feed the extremists on every side. They encourage social division and leave all minorities vulnerable. Anti-Muslim bigotry is a vital recruiting sergeant for both the far right, and its Islamist extremist counterparts.
“It generates votes for the BNP and, at the furthest ends of this political spectrum, it even provides the fuel for terrorism. British Jews should have no part of it.”

Why the rise of the far-right is terrible news for the disabled
'I didn’t see the TV show, although I have followed its subsequent coverage. My personal feelings about Nick Griffin, the BNP and their views and policies wouldn’t allow me to watch regardless of whether he was challenged...The BNP's response to this fairly mild attack was to attack 'the Establishment' and, for some reason, the Jewish Chronicle.
The fact that there exist people who believe that someone’s ethnicity, sexual orientation, relition or disabled status renders them targets for abuse, violence and murder is bad enough. The fact that there is a political party which supports and propagates such views and attempts to give them legitimacy is truly frightening...
If Griffin denies the Holocaust, which, despite his weasel words last night he clearly has and does, then he would also presumably deny T4, the programme instituted by Hitler for systematically “Exterminating” close to half a million disabled people in order to rid the 3rd Reich of their imperfections. Clearly there will be members of his party who would laud such action against our community. Fear the day when a BNP government might take the chance to institute a similar programme.'
'Of all the Establishment’s many and various efforts to undermine rising electoral support for the British National Party, perhaps the most reprehensible tactic of all is the persistent attempt to cultivate baseless fears in the hearts of members of vulnerable minority groups, by cynically and dishonestly misrepresenting BNP policies and intentions...Getting to the point after its obligatory swipe at the well-respected Jewish Chronicle, the article referred back to the Disability Now post;
So it is, that week after week, the Jewish Chronicle sows the seeds of terror among its readers and fulminates against the BNP, as though the growth of our party is some sort of threat to the Jewish community.'
'In a similar vein, the editor of Disability Now has blogged about the notoriously slanted recent edition of BBC “Question Time” featuring Nick Griffin. Referring to the disgusting actions of the evil German Nazi regime towards disabled people, the editor of Disability Now bizarrely claimed that “Clearly there will be members of Griffin’s party who would laud such action against our community. Fear the day when a BNP government might take the chance to institute a similar programme.”Arrant nonsense? Don't lose any sleep over it? Well, I'll try not to, but I can't help remembering the words of Jeff Marshall, the BNP's Central London organiser. Following the death of Ivan Cameron, six-year-old son of Conservative Party leader David Cameron and his wife Samantha, last year, he said;
Hopefully, the readers of Disability Now are sensible enough to see through such arrant nonsense and not lose any sleep over it...For the truth is, the advent of a BNP government would certainly herald a new golden age for disabled people.'
'We live in a country today which is unhealthily dominated by an excess of sentimentality towards the weak and unproductive. No good will come of it.'Not content with attacking those mourning the death of a severely disabled child who brought “joy and love to those around him”, Marshall continued in his sick tirade, stating that although it would be “a kindness” to kill children with disabilities, this was not the same as advocating such a measure as compulsory state policy. “But so what if it is,” he asked. “At least we would all know where we stand. There is actually not a great deal of point in keeping these sort of people alive, after all.”
Marshall’s disturbing and repellent views recall those of BNP terrorist Tony Lecomber, who was, until 2008 (when he got the urge to organise the assassinations of a few public figures), one of Griffin’s right-hand men and was until 2007 the BNP's Group Development Officer. Lecomber proposed a racist eugenics programme, echoing that of the Nazi murderer Dr Josef Mengele, which advocated a 'racially purer' Britain through the sterilisation of the poor, the sick and the disabled.
Marshall is still a member of the BNP.
A pro-BNP blogger who runs the Britain Awake blog site uses the tagline 'Left-wing and liberal spastics should click back NOW!', which probably gives you some idea of what to expect. This is what he wrote following the death of Ivan Cameron.
'Good riddance to bad rubbish! Enemies of the Britain Awake blog like to term us as vile neo-Nazi's with a pathological hatred of the disabled. Which couldn't be further from the truth, but we're not prepared to argue the toss right now!A couple of years ago, we had a News in brief article that referred to the nazi Stormfront forum. Back then, Stormfront Britain was firmly pro-BNP and many BNP members (and Lee Barnes, who wasn't then a member of the party despite being its official legal advisor) and officers posted on there. During our stroll through Stormfront's post, we came across an attack on the model Jordan (Katie Price), or rather her son Harvey. Harvey, who was then four years old, suffers blindness and autism (caused by septo-optic dysplasia) but is a target for the far-right not simply because he's disabled but because he's the product of a mixed-race relationship. The comments were beyond brutal, to say nothing of being racist;
Which brings us on to our next subject, the waste of flesh & blood that was 'ivan cameron', this piece of shit should have been drowned at birth! Sorry if people find this offensive, but we find evil bastard David Cameron's cruel manipulation of a spastic child for political gain offensive!
You can't even describe 'ivan cameron' as a person, it was merely a pawn in David Camerons quest for power. So we have no qualms whatsoever in saying: GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!!! Call us cruel and heartless if you like, but when this cunt becomes PM and makes our lives even more miserable you'll all be laughing at his defective sperm! Let's hope Cameron has had the snip, we don't want him firing out any more rubbish like 'ivan'
PS. What kind of name is 'ivan' anyway?!'
- 'I know it's a terrible thing to say about a disabled child,but that half breed child is repulsive...'
- 'Her niglet is utterly abhorrent, really disgusting to look at...'
- 'Bad genes, and yes the child is horrid...'
- 'Yes,the kid is repulsive.I feel a tad guilty saying that about a disabled kid,but it's partly the fact it's half black...'
- 'Aside from being a fat, fuck ugly niglet, I was under the impression that the only other disability it had was being blind, although I have never really paid much attention to these two overexposed idiots...'
- 'These whores like Jordan should have more consideration for what they are bringing into the world...'
- 'Price has allowed herself to be impregnated by a nig, but hypocrites like Jolie, Madonna etc have gone round the world adopting niglet kids, yet would never let a nig near them in real life...'
- 'The child is a mong. Half bred mong, nice. Also I find mongs just that.No mongs in my famliy.'
The BNP closes its ludicrous article with this;
'The British National Party already has many disabled members and expects to recruit countless more in the years to come...'I wouldn't bank on it. Not with the likes of Jeff Marshall in it.

BNP Legal Director Lee Barnes’ June bout of anti-Jewish madness
This article was submitted by one of our readers, Hexapla. We welcome any contributions from our supporters (as long as those contributions conform to the law and are in reasonably good taste). Please send your articles to us via email.
Please Note: Shortly after we published our article exposing Lee Barnes’ racist and plagiaristic use of Jew Watch material, Lee Barnes himself responded with yet another anti-Jewish diatribe on his blog attacking Lancaster Unity. In his response Lee Barnes deliberately avoids addressing his plagiarism of Jew Watch material. He wants to ignore this issue and censor any meaningful discussion of his racist postings by slandering Lancaster Unity and anyone else who dares raise this issue in the public domain. In other words, Lee Barnes, in true fascist and racist tradition, is unrepentant. The following are extracts from his response entitled, Lancaster Unity – The facts. As the reader will see, his response is thoroughly anti-Jewish, incoherent and intellectual redundant:“One such collection of poisonous hypocrites are the self professed Zionist extremist Jews on Lancaster Unity.
A few months ago in a rare example of honesty, the LU website stated that most of the people who control the site and post on the site are Jewish.
Them being Jewish is of itself irrelevant. They were only declaring and using the fact of their 'Jewishness' to divert attention from the true issue, which is the fact they are Zionists.
It is the fact that the people who control LU are Zionists is the most important issue.
The LU Zionists are part of the same type of extremist Jews who supported and worked with the Nazis during WW2, and who even offered to fight alongside the Nazis against the British in Palestine, even as the Death Camps were murdering millions of non-Zionist Jews in Europe”
....
“But the problem begins when a tiny cabal of manipulative and deceitful Jewish extremists organise to represent the interests of Zionism and then use the camouflage of 'Anti-Racism' and 'pro-working class propaganda' in order to attack other racial groups who are also organising to represent their community interests”.
.....
“The people in LU are part of the lineage of Jewish Zionist extremists that supported the genocide of the Palestinians, that worked with the Nazis and that supported mass Islamist immigration into the UK over recent decades”
It’s been a busy month for Lee Barnes, the self-appointed, unemployed and unqualified head of the BNP’s dysfunctional legal department. Whilst he’s not making apocalyptic pronouncements about the impending end of the world, issuing keyboard threats against rivals within the BNP or telling us about his plans for the esoteric revival of pre-Roman indigenous pagan religions to revitalise the White race, Lee Barnes has been indulging in one of his other favourite pastimes: Jew-baiting. Summer is here and Lee Barnes has informed us in his very own plagiaristic and racist style that silly season has indeed begun with three-four June articles tinged with anti-Jewish sentiment.
BNP Legal Director Lee Barnes and Jew Watch – the tale of anti-Semitic plagiarist extraordinaire
The contents of some of Lee Barnes' Jew baiting articles are directly lifted from what is perhaps the world’s leading anti-Jewish website, Jew Watch, run by a member of the American neo-nazi hate group, the National Alliance (which the BNP has links with). Jew Watch is extremely controversial, so extreme that it has been condemned by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights as one of the worst examples of how the internet has been exploited for purposes of incitement to racial hatred.
In the introduction to one his recent articles, Jewish Chronicle Interview, the irrepressible Lee Barnes tell us:
I was very surprised that Dana had not ever heard of or read Kevin McDonalds book 'The Culture of Critique' which chronicles the role of Jewish intellectuals and activists in American society.
The fact that the Jewish community has disproportionate power over various sectors of American society is only controversial to those that think those Jewish groups are doing something wrong”
Below we demonstrate how Lee Barnes has plagiarised Jew Watch hate material by comparing extracts from his Jewish Chronicle Interview article with a Jew Watch article, Monopolist Jewish Pro-Zionist/Pro-Soviet Control of Movie Studios. Conveniently, Lee Barnes doesn’t acknowledge his over-dependent use of Jew Watch hate material anywhere in his racist article. We wonder why?
Paragraph 1 (Jew Watch article):
The largest media conglomerate today is Walt Disney Company, whose chairman and CEO, Michael Eisner, is a Jew. The Disney empire, headed by a man described by one media analyst as "a control freak," includes several television production companies (Walt Disney Television, Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television), its own cable network with 14 million subscribers, and two video production companies.
Paragraph 42 (Lee Barnes BNP article):
The largest media conglomerate today is Walt Disney Company, whose chairman and CEO, Michael Eisner, who is Jewish ran the company from 1984-2005. The Disney empire, was headed by a man described by one media analyst as "a control freak," included several television production companies (Walt Disney Television, Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television), its own cable network with 14 million subscribers, and two video production companies.
Paragraph 2 (Jew Watch article):
As for feature films, the Walt Disney Picture Group, headed by Joe Roth (also a Jew), includes Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and Caravan Pictures. Disney also owns Miramax Films, run by the Weinstein brothers, who have produced such ultra-raunchy movies such as The Crying Game, Priests, and Kids.

Paragraph 3 (Jew Watch article):
When the Disney Company was run by the Gentile Disney family prior to its takeover by Eisner in 1984, it epitomized wholesome, family entertainment. While it still holds the rights to Snow White, under Eisner the company has expanded into the production of graphic sex and gratuitous violence. In addition to TV and movies, the corporation owns Disneyland, Disney World, Epcot Center, Tokyo Disneyland, and Euro Disney.
Paragraph 46 (Lee Barnes BNP article)

Paragraph 7 (Jew Watch article):
Viacom’s chief claim to fame, however, is as the world’s largest provider of cable programming, through its Showtime, MTV, Nickelodeon, and other networks. Since 1989, MTV and Nickelodeon have acquired larger and larger shares of the juvenile television audience. Redstone, who actually owns 76 percent of the shares of Viacom ($3 billion), offers Beavis and Butthead as teen role models and is the largest single purveyor of race-mixing propaganda to White teenagers and sub-teens in America and Europe. MTV pumps its racially mixed rock and rap videos into 210 million homes in 71 countries and is the dominant cultural influence on White teenagers around the world.

Paragraph 12 (Jew Watch article):
Most of the television and movie production companies that are not owned by the largest corporations are also controlled by Jews. For example, New World Entertainment, proclaimed by one media analyst as "the premiere independent TV program producer in the United States," is owned by Ronald Perelman, a Jew who also owns Revlon cosmetics. The chairman at New World, Brandon Tartikoff (formerly head of entertainment programming at NBC), is also a Jew.

Paragraph 13 (Jew Watch article):
The best known of the smaller media companies, DreamWorks SKG, is a strictly kosher affair. DreamWorks was formed in 1994 amid great media hype by recording industry mogul David Geffen, former Disney Pictures chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, and film direction Steven Spielberg, all three of whom are Jews. The company produces movies, animated films, television programs, and recorded music. Considering the cash and connections that Geffen, Katzenberg, and Spielberg have, DreamWorks may soon be in the same league as the big three.
Paragraph 57 (Lee Barnes BNP article):

In a further article, we will detail Lee Barnes’ other anti-Jewish writings and postings. ¡No Pasarán!
Further update: Lee Barnes of the BNP has posted a second response to our exposé of his racism, Lancaster Unity – Update. It is only now that he has, in some of sort of half-hearted way, decided to hesitantly address the one of the main thrusts of our article: his unacknowledged use of Jew Watch material. Jumping through hoops of illogical reasoning, Lee Barnes justifies his use of Jew Watch as follows:
“In the articles I wrote below I had to do some research to find out the power of sections of the Jewish community in Hollywood. This entailed reading sites that list details of the individuals and organisations that control Hollywood.
Much of this was not up to date and I had to do extra (and boring research) to bring the articles up to date.
The next time I decide to investigate the power of members of the Irish community in America, then I will look for a site called 'Irish Watch' similar to the one that contained information that I used called 'Jew Watch'”
