THE UK AND THE USA: SOME NASTY PARALLELS?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Britain and the USA have had close ties, echoes and parallels from our start, some very good, others nasty. One of the latter may now be threatening. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeremy Corbyn\u2019s rise in Labour Party leadership offered great hopes for a leftward turn in Britain, away from the worrisome policies of Boris Johnson. But hopes were dashed in the recent elections by the dirtiest media campaign in many years plus sniping by New Labour phonies like war-loving Tony Blair, who seemed to prefer the Tories to Jeremy. But also in part to denunciations by the Netanyahu wing in Jewish circles, led by Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis who, in a key letter to the London \u201cTimes\u201d violated non-partisan traditions by attacking \u201cLabour antisemitism\u201d, saying Corbyn was \u201cnot fit for high office\u201d, that \u201cnew poison\u201d in the party has been \u201csanctioned from the top\u201d. The \u201cvery soul of our nation is at stake\u201d, he wrote, and called on British Jews to vote for any party except Labour!<\/p>\n

Such right-wing advice and the whole campaign by organizations falsely claiming to represent all British Jews, were built on lies. There is undoubtedly less anti-Semitism by far in the Labour Party than among the Tories. As for Corbyn, who has opposed every form of racism all his life, John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons until recently, who is Jewish and a Tory, said that in 22 years of knowing Corbyn he had \u201cnever detected so much as a whiff of antisemitism\u201d. Of course, the reason for the vicious, often personal attacks was really because Corbyn does not support Israeli policy toward the Palestinians, but opposes all oppression of \u201cunderdogs\u201d anywhere in the world. And Mervis, closely linked to the Israeli government for years, even acted as its unofficial ambassador while Chief Rabbi in Ireland.

<\/p>\n

I see undeniable parallels, even ties, with the USA election campaign. It is difficult to attack Bernie in the same way, for he is Jewish and even worked in a kibbutz in his youth. But if the possibility of his election increases, this would not just mean electing the first Jewish president in US history. Far more important, it is causing hatred and panic among the same elements who hated Jeremy, fearful of challenges to their power and their wealth. I predict that they will attack Bernie just as maliciously and falsely as Jeremy, using his support for Palestinian rights to label him by that weird epithet , \u201cself-hating Jew\u201d, and perhaps by digging up (or constructing) a stupid statement or other by some unknown Sanders campaigner, maybe in Nebraska or North Dakota, in order to denounce his campaign.<\/p>\n

There have already been signs of this. While the main attacks against Bernie will most likely be from the red-baiting angle – \u201cSanders will bring us Venezuelan socialism!\u201d – \u201cHe will steal our eye-glasses\u201d or \u201c\u2026our self-defense AR-15s\u201d – I fear that the GOP\u2019s Sheldon Adelsons, and also some wealthy Democrats, may well be sharpening up the same sword wielded in Britain. I think great alertness and good clear answers have already become very necessary.
