Comment: In England right now there is a great big rumpus concerning that nasty old Trot of a Labour former London mayor and MP, Ken Livingstone, and accusations of ‘antisemitism’.
Basically, Livingstone, rather astonishingly, described Adolf Hitler as a ‘Zionist’.
As some background, Livingstone got into this mess by defending one Naz Shah, a female Pakistani MP – representing Bradford, naturally, – who tweeted that ‘Jews should be paid money to vacate Israel and relocate to the USA’ -. The irony of a Pakistani living on British soil making such a remark apparently escaped her.
Anyhow, as the Labour Party more and more relies in the immigrant vote, and thus panders to islamists, this sort of thing will get more common. Labour MPs will more or less openly denounce Israel – and Jews as a people – to garner the massive and rapidly growing Muslim vote. Ironically, British Jews were the leading supporters of the criminalization of opposition to massive third world immigration into Britain. Some, such as the truly odious Jonathan Ported, were architects of shitty New Labour’s open door policy of massive uncontrolled immigration.
Surely, there’s a moral or two here.
* While not exactly the case, it’s not that astonishing, since it’s been fairly well documented that Hitler was cooperating to establish Israel with certain Zionist factions.
Here’s a link of a news report when the book that explained “The Transfer Agreement” was published. The author was Jewish, and his parents were appalled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8_bFF8c-Jk Here’s a more recent interview on cspan with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-SC9DFopGw The facts as related in the book tends to upset some people, particularly some jewish people, since apparently the prime directive of managing information on the jewish holocaust is that one can never imply that jews, collectively, or individually, might have inadvertently “brought it on themselves,” as well as the notion that Hitler had 101 problems, and the jews were only one of them, rather than casting jews as an irresistible scapegoat whom Hitler wanted to expel from the planet in short order regardless of the consequences. In any case, Livingston is overreaching the limits of the truth, when referring to Hitler as a Zionist simply because Hitler cooperated with Zionists to establish Israel–but he’s not hallucinating. I would conclude that jewish leadership was so fractured at the time, that initiating the agreement became impossible. Not necessarily anybody’s fault, it’s just the way the dice rolled at that time. If you believe timing is everything in political discourse, the timing was bad for the Transfer Agreement to work. The book is available on Amazon.
