Hopkins and the dessicated Labour Party apparatchiks

Have you heard of Mathew Hopkins? He was the Witchfinder General at the time of the English Civil War; tasked with proving that the accused (most of them women) had engaged in a ‘covenant with the devil’. Methods of investigation included sleep deprivation, cutting the arm with a blunt knife, and lowering the accused into water. Yes you guessed it. If you drowned you were innocent! 

 

Witches were said to have the “Devil’s Mark”, a mole or birthmark. If lacking these, ‘witch prickers’ were employed to prick the accused with special needles to find them.

Thank God we live in better times.

Soon after Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of the UK Labour Party a right-wing witchunt started under the guise of ‘anti-semitism’. Jews were not going to escape this and anti-Zionist Jews, Jackie Walker, David Rosenberg, Tony Greenstein and Moshe Machover (since reinstated) headed the list. If Einstein were still alive he would have joined them. 

 

Notably Jews have taken a central and brave role in exposing the connections between Israel and US police forces. Sir Keir Starmer should be advised to put down his witch pricker and read this report from Jewish Voice for Peace

 

Former MP Chris Williamson and former London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, were soon to be added.

What is the ‘Devil’s Mark’ they all share? They have dared to criticise the state of Israel and speak up for the Palestinians. Not coincidentally, all of them were and are actively anti-racist.

Prof Norman Finkelstein, who lost his job at Chicago’s DePaul university for his ‘anti-semitism’ puts it powerfully about Ken Livingstone’s expulsion, saying:

"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. 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?
