Greens and Your Party accused of being ‘soft’ on Zionism.
Deputy Leader of the Workers Party of Britain and Press TV Host, Teetotaller and Vegan.
Reading Hannah Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) for about the fifth time the work stands out for the richness of its historical, political and ideological frescos and its constant prickling of arguments.
One could digress, at length, on Arendt’s view of Thomas Hobbes and human beings’ innate striving for power. Or on her elaboration of what she described as the insight of Alexandre Koyré: seeing “totalitarian movements as secret societies established in broad daylight”. The latter, organised around a “mysterious leader” “surrounded by a small group of the initiated” against the “profane world” looks far too intense to be applied to parties today, even on the extreme European right, or political Islam.
I digress. Relevant today, perhaps more so in the world of ‘social media’, the modern ‘mob’ that seeks to find, “the real forces in political life in those movements and influences which are hidden from view and work behind the scenes.” Freemasonry, Jesuits (not heard much of recently) and of course, Jewry.
David Miller, former ‘academic’, has produced writings on the influence of ‘Zionism’ that stand muster with John Robinson’s Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe, Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Free Masons, Illuminati, and Reading Societies. 1798.
But even this lot have gone far:
“Connections co-founder Anwarul Khan did not mince his words as he expressed his disgust at YP’s direction of travel. He posted on X:
Ffs. Did not take long for zionist poison to infiltrate the party. With what happened in Greens yesterday and this. Its really depressing that this racist ideology is allowed to fester anywhere, let alone YP.”
Your Party and Greens set to capitulate to Zionists. Maddison Wheeldon. The Canary.
“Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party (YP) and Zack Polanski’s Green Party appear to be making moves towards rehabilitating Zionism. Instead of opposing its colonialist ideology, they seem more inclined to support it.
A recent landmark motion which declared Zionism as a form of racism was railroaded by pro-Israel members at the Green Party’s spring conference. The blatant filibustering on display has devastated the huge proportion of the Green’s membership who rightfully demand an anti-Zionist stance.
However, disappointment for progressives does not end there. Corbyn’s YP appear to have taken heed of the subsequent fallout. Furthermore, an elected member of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) for Wales has suggested the new party entirely abandon its anti-Zionist pledge.”
