The manufactured \u2018antisemitism crisis\u2019 is the last throw of the dice for those desperate to prevent a progressive politician taking power in the UK: someone who supports Palestinians and genuine peace in the Middle East, a strong National Health Service and a secure Welfare State, a properly-funded education system, and an economy in which people matter; someone who rejects endless war and complicity with oppressive, war criminal \u2018allies\u2019, such as the United States, Saudi Arabia and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In a thoroughly-researched <a href=\"http:\/\/medialens.org\/index.php?option=com_acymailing&amp;no_html=1&amp;ctrl=url&amp;urlid=8077&amp;mailid=500&amp;subid=22466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=http:\/\/medialens.org\/index.php?option%3Dcom_acymailing%26no_html%3D1%26ctrl%3Durl%26urlid%3D8077%26mailid%3D500%26subid%3D22466&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1533920287908000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFh4_gt-DXruPPxoR4oin8TbZ4Lww\">article<\/a>, writer and academic Gavin Lewis has mapped a deliberate pro-Israel campaign to create a \u2018moral panic\u2019 around the issue of antisemitism. The strategy can be traced all the way back to the horrendous Israeli bombardment of Gaza in the summer of 2014. A UN report estimated that 2,252 Palestinians were killed, around 65 per cent of them civilians. The death toll included 551 children. There was global public revulsion at Israel\u2019s war crimes and empathy with their Palestinian victims. Support rose for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement (BDS) which campaigns \u2018to end international support for Israel\u2019s oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>As Lewis&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dissidentvoice.org\/2018\/08\/israel-is-the-real-problem\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elite power cannot abide a serious challenge to its established position.
