Update on JUSTICE FOR ALL LABOUR PARTY MEMBERS
Here is the latest update posted on the Crowd Justice website on 19th February.
Diana Neslen speaks about the harassment she and many other Jews like her have faced for being an anti-Zionist.
Despite being a practising Jew and active Labour Party member, Diana Neslen was investigated by the Labour Party for antisemitism due to her political views on Israel.
The Labour Party have since dropped their latest investigation but only after Diana instructed lawyers and fought a long campaign against the party for herself and others harassed and bullied by the Labour Party for their views on Israel.
Diana says: On a previous charge I was found guilty of antisemitism because of my views on Israel. It is not the place for Gentiles and Jewish zionists to use the Labour Party’s mechanisms to attack Jews whose political beliefs they do not share.”

Please help support other members like Diana who are similarly being persecuted for their political beliefs. Legal advice and support is costly so please donate if you can and please share widely.
Thank you
Diana focuses on non-Jews attacking her but arguably it is right-wing Jews who are the forefront of demonising anti-Zionist and even non-Zionist Jews. Without the BoD, JLM etc. there would be no attacks and no smear.
Er – it is understandable for Communities to disagree –
but this should be confined WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
They have no right to use the Labour Party – or any
political Party – to attack people they disagree with
in their Community.
For those outside the Community – in this case gentiles
– they should not arbitrarily listen to just one section of that
Community and ignore the opinions of others.
The whole thing is outrageous and completely against
any idea of Human Rights.
I am sincerely appalled at the treatment of Diana and believe her when she says there is more to the process of cleansing the Labour Party of anti-zionist, anti-racist jews and fellow supporters. It surely isnt just Starmer and the right faction in the Party or even the Zionist campaign to silence dissent and democracy. I havent an answer, but it is frightening what they have done and continue to do.
This is happening within the Ontario New Democratic Party [NDP]. Any criticism about Israel is deemed to be antisemetic. The use of the IHRA is a dangerous weapon that is being used to undermine free speech in Ontario and Canada.
Malcolm, I presume you are aware of the work that IJV Canada (and others) are doing in relation to challenging the use of the IHRA working definition?
The Guardian editorial (The Guardian view on Labour and antisemitism: two cheers for Keir Starmer, Wednesday 15 Feb.) was remarkable only for being its first editorial on the subject not stridently damning Jeremy Corbyn. It was a mild enough a defence, but today (22 Feb), Julia Neuberger, Simon Sebag Montefiore, Karen Pollock , Chief executive, Holocaust Educational Trust and Mike Katz Chair, Jewish Labour Movement, weighed in as if the world was coming to an end.
I doubt if any of them have absorbed the findings of the Forde Report or even acknowledge the existence of, let alone watched, al-Jazeera’s “The Labour Files”. This important documentary series has been near-totally ignored by MSM and Starmer’s one-policy LP. It speaks volumes that the LP will not even rebut any part of them, and it’s disgusting that MSM has meekly followed the head-in-the-sand approach.
The ‘one-policy’ (not really a secret) was laid out in his recent speech inviting those who disagreed with him to leave: only applicable of course to those not already suspended/expelled/sidelined for spurious ‘misdemeanours’.
The Guardian took quite a beating from the letters by these prominent worthies, so it will be a while before the G again veers from ‘the true path’.
