The whole aforegoing discussion is about how that accusation has been made by the Israeli Lobby,LFI et al to stifle debate.

Presumably Paul thinks former MP Tam Dalyell
is anti-semitic for raisng the issue of the Jewish cabal around Blair?

Many of us feel that criticism of LFI,the US Israeli Lobby and Likudniks is vital and we’ll go on voicing our concerns regardless of the affected sensitivities of New Labour and its acolytes who are always rather precipitate in their readiness to cast aspersions about shabby anti-semitism etc.

Is Paul also somewhat confused concerning Fanon’s ethnic origins? Fanon came from French-speaking Martinique.There was some German ancestry,going back to Alsace.You’d be hard-pushed to find any Jewish blood in Fanon’s background though.

Maybe you’re thinking of F.Anon.He’s the Jewish guy who’s often confused with Fanon.He just moved in with Peter Mandelson,I believe!

The name of Fanon is,in the context of anti-semitism,something of a red herring methinks.Though I trust its a kosher red herring!

And the nugget of enlightenment from Sir Alan of Tate and Lyle re-Daily Mail history of bringing down Jews and Asians.Well I was just concentrating too hard on the road to have taken it on board or perhaps I was already aware of bias in the paper without having to be so informed by the said Sir Tate of Lyle.

Lobster is the journal on the trail but there are plenty of other options.Forget the Left though,especially SWP.Their in-house theorist told readers that the Mearsheimer/Walt paper on the Israeli Lobby should be shunned by right-thinking leftists as a conspiracy theory that weakened the movement!

By the way I wonder which failed bands Levi of Strauss managed?Was it Begin and the Jets in 1982 or Olmert and the Clusters last year.As Blair’s Middle East envoy he surely got advanced warning of the second outrageous assault on a sovereign Arab nation
in three years.

Last I heard (via Blairwatch)was that solid evidence that the dossier was written by one of Campbell’s propagandists,not the Joint Intelligence Chiefs,was being sat on by the government.A Law Lord’s ruling is eagerly anticipated at the New Statesman which has followed the trail of evidence to this it’s logical conclusion.

Blair stated categorically in the Commons that the dossier was the sole work of the JIC and the said document (which even its spindoctor author is happy to have made public apparently)has him banged to rights.

He’ll resign of course if and when the draft sees the light of day.Don’t hold your breath on this one though!

Re-the anti-semitism around Levy and LFI.I heard the Alan Sugar interview on Radio 4 on the way to work.It was hilarious listening to this glorified spiv spout off semi-coherently about his buddy in arms Lord Levi of Strauss.Yes,Sir Tate of Lyle told us,his mate was a fantastic fundraiser for Blair but his problem was that he’d just been too good at it!

The interview was as insightful as that.

Craig Murray makes a far more cogent critic of the Anglo-Zionist coterie of corruption which lies at the heart not just of New Labour but deep within our political system.We are talking about arms deals, war-mongering,media manipulation,assassinations,torture yet the commentators trivialize all these as if they were inevitable bi-products of democracy rather than its complete and utter perversion at the hands of a ploitical class which long ago failed to pass muster as fit for purpose.

If anyone has seen all this filth from the inside it’s Craig Murray recalled by Straw when he had the temerity to question HMG complicity with torture carried out by the Karimov regime in Uzbekistan.The only time he got air-time on Radio 4 Humphries followed the then government line of questioning Murray’s sanity in making the said accusations.

Sadly satire and political commentary and the affected cynicism of the chattering Have I Got News classes will be the only weapons brought to bear against the venality and corruption and taxpayer paid for meals brigade Blair and Levi will have to worry about.Fortunately for them any form of outrage conveyed in earnest we British find extremely embarrassing.In our anally-retentive culture careerist politicians can be laughed at but not quickly disposed of.
