Collection of labour member antisemitic social media posts

Examples of Labour members antisemitism.


We have collated here some examples of antisemitic social media posts by people who are (or appear to be) Labour Party members. We have done this because there are still people who insist that there is no antisemitism in the Labour Party, or who demand to see evidence of it.

In doing this, we are not suggesting that there is no antisemitism in other parties (there is). We are also not asserting that everyone who posts antisemitic material does so in the knowledge that it is antisemitic or is motivated by hatred of Jews. 

But as socialists and Labour supporters, we are concerned to rid Labour of this poison, and in the first place to encourage members to accept that it exists and is a genuine problem.

A few posts from Robin Scott who was very upset to have been accused by the Labour party of antisemitism so resigned in protest: 












Doctor Fred is a Labour supporter (member?) who things Jews have a duel loyalty.  Classic antisemitic trope.





The charmer who posted this is a member of Darlington CLP.

Our group contains people who identify as left-wing Zionists, as non-Zionists and as anti-Zionists. We differentiate ourselves from other groups such as Jewish Voice for Labour because, despite our often strongly critical views about the government of Israel, the occupation and other human rights issues, we also see that antisemitism is often thinly disguising itself as anti-Zionism or being anti-Israel. We have to clarify the fact that it is NOT anti-semitic of itself to criticise the government of Israel, its politics, its leaders, the occupation etc. The issue is that al...

On Neturei Karta

We want to do our best to explain about some groups, people and terms which sometimes crop up in discussions about anti-Semitism and related topics. First, we thought we'd say a little about Neturei Karta, some of whose members are pictured here. In case you're not familiar with us at Socialists Against Anti-Semitism, we are an avowedly left-wing group, we do not identify as a Zionist group, and we are in support of a Palestinian state, not in the distant future but immediately. However, we are strong critics of anyone on the left or elsewhere who uses any form of anti-Semitism to further their argument. Neturei Karta's name means "gates of the city" in Aramaic. It was a split-off from the Agudat Israel party, dating from 1938. Basically, they are ultra-Orthodox Jews who believe that a state of Israel may only be justly formed when the Jewish Messiah has come, and that the foundation of the present State of Israel was sinful and blasphemous according to...
