*Just a play on words, that's all, but
in Britain’s present political climate; Accusations of
anti-Semitism against Jeremy Corbyn, or witch hunt and smear campaign
as I like to call it, I would like to point out that I am not
anti-Semitic/Zionist. To paraphrase the late, great Joe
Strummer....”I am anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-violence. I am
pro-creativity and against ignorance.” I'd also add to that
list....anti-power, anti-control and pro-free speech.
So putting things into context, it is
not anti-Semitic for me to criticise the Israeli government and its
Racist power and control policies towards the Palestinian people and
anyone else that dares to speak out against the actions of the
Israeli state, and support the opposition.
I don't care who threw the first rock,
it is time that the whole conflict in the middle east is brought to a
stop, before it destroys us all. It's also worth mentioning that as
well as the 6 million Holocaust victims, lest we forget that 5.5
million “enemies of the German state” (Criminals, the Insane,
homosexuals, communists, Socialists, Jehovah Witnesses and gypsies
were also murdered in atrocious circumstances. As staunch left wing
agit-punkers; the recently, reformed and still relevant Crisis said
“The Jews weren't the only ones!” (Ironically when Doug Pearce
and Tony Wakefield from the band left and formed Death in June, they
were accused of being Fascists due their imagery and lyrics,
something they refuted.)
