Weaponized antisemitism

In light of the incessant zionist smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn I’d like to bring to light the annual UK “antisemitism report” of 2014 by CST (Community Security Trust).

CST launched a smear campaign against pro-Palestinian activists in 2014 during the Israeli massacre in Gaza.

Here’s a breakdown of that 2014 report. You can judge for yourself how the recent report will be manipulated to point the blame at Corbyn:

CST claims to have recorded 1,168 antisemitic incidents in 2014.

“contemporary antisemitic incident offenders will select from a range of Jewish- related subjects, particularly insults related to the Holocaust or Israel”

No percentages and no differentiation between the holocaust and “criticizing Israel” but I’ll go on…

From January – July 2014, there were 307 alleged “antisemitic instances”

From July – August 2014, during the Gaza massacre, there were 542 alleged “antisemitic instances”

CST claimed that the Gaza massacre was the “single biggest contributing factor”

In September, there were also 103 alleged “antisemitic instances”

Which means that October to December saw 216 alleged “antisemitic instances”

*39 per cent of incidents recorded in 2014 showed evidence of political motivations or beliefs, while 61 per cent did not.*

The following is very important:

“The most common single type of incident in 2014 involved verbal abuse directed at random Jewish people in public; such incidents are more commonly associated with anti-social behaviour or local patterns of street crime than with political activism or ideologies.”

These percentages translate as @712 instances that were NOT “politically motivated”, while 456 were.

Of the 456 incidents that were allegedly “politically motivated”, 258 referencing Israel and Gaza were allegedly made in July and August.

159 showed far right motivation or beliefs;

38 showed Islamist motivation or beliefs.

So, of the CST total of 1,168 instances of alleged antisemitism:

— @712 were non-political

— @456 were political; of which:

— 159 showed far right motivation or beliefs

— 38 showed Islamist motivation or beliefs.

— 258 referenced Israel and Gaza in July and August

A breakdown of the “Gaza related incidents”:

“There were 110 incidents in July and August 2014 in which more than one type of political discourse was used by the offenders. In 45 incidents, *the offenders compared Israel or Jews to Nazis.*

«…48 incidents involved the use of phrases such as *“child murderers” or “baby killers”*

The alleged “258 [who] referenced Israel and Gaza in July and August” is basically the sum total for the entire YEAR. Which means that only when Israel was dropping tons of bombs on Gaza, did “criticism of Israel” allegedly occur — this in itself is NOT “antisemitic” as long as Jews as a whole aren’t blamed.

That is, 158 of the 258 alleged “Gaza related instances” were online posts lashing out at the Israeli *military and government* during the massacre in Gaza.

Summary:

---

The vast majority of of alleged antisemitic instances recorded by the CST was *non-political.*

One third of the allegedly politically motivated antisemitic instances was from far *right wing individuals.*

Less than twenty percent of the overall total were allegedly aimed at the slaughter that went on in Gaza in July and August, MAINLY aimed at ISRAEL.

If we leave the ambiguity of the claims and the dubious, unverifiable METHOD of collection to one side and accept the claims at face value, the alleged “antisemitism” recorded in the UK was NOT a result of support for Palestine, even though several pages of this report insinuated this. The main cause were louts, drunkards, school kids, the far right, non political scumbags and a lot of reaching. Yes, there were disturbing *reports* but what bumped the numbers up were the umbrella accusations that lumped people who criticized Israel, in the middle of one of the worst cases of mass slaughter in Palestine, in with unstable knuckleheads and racists calling for the death of all Jews!

Fail.
