Graphic At The Centre Of Labour's 'anti-Semitism' Row...
... was authored by a Jewish scholar whose family died in the holocaust.
// The image depicted a map of the United States with Israel superimposed, and suggested resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict by relocating Israel into the United States. It has been reported that Shah got the image from Finkelstein’s website. //
Here it is
https:/
// Norman Finkelstein, The American Jewish scholar is one of the world’s leading experts on the Israel-Palestine conflict and the political legacy of the Nazi holocaust. Apart from his parents, every member of Finkelstein’s family, on both sides, was exterminated in the Nazi holocaust.
I did post the map on my website in 2014. An email correspondent must have sent it. It was, and still is, funny.
Frankly, I find that obscene. It’s doubtful these Holocaust-mongers have a clue what the deportations were, or of the horrors that attended them. I remember my late mother describing her deportation. She was in the Warsaw Ghetto. The survivors of the Ghetto Uprising, about 30,000 Jews, were deported to Maijdanek concentration camp. They were herded into railroad cars. My mother was sitting in the railroad car next to a woman who had her child. And the woman – I know it will shock you – the woman suffocated her infant child to death in front of my mother. She suffocated her child, rather than take her to where they were going. That’s what it meant to be deported. To compare that to someone posting a light-hearted, innocuous cartoon making a little joke about how Israel is in thrall to the U.S., or vice versa…it’s sick. What are they doing? Don’t they have any respect for the dead? All these desiccated Labour apparatchiks, dragging the Nazi holocaust through the mud for the sake of their petty jostling for power and position. Have they no shame? //
He goes on...
// Livingstone maybe wasn’t precise enough, and lacked nuance. But he does know something about that dark chapter in history. Livingstone is more or less accurate about this – or, as accurate as might be expected from a politician speaking off the cuff. //

So hopefully that puts these baseless anti-semitism accusations to side for good.
Unless you disagree?
