Take action for Palestine – say Jewish groups to Andy Burnham
JVL Introduction
Together with the Holocaust Survivors and Descendants Against the Genocide in Gaza and Jews for Justice for Palestinians, JVL wrote to the Prime Minister urging action to stop Israel’s atrocities and “to immediately stop arming Israel.”
Predictably the government has already met with representatives of Jewish organisations who oppose any action to end UK trade with Israeli settlements, which are all illegal under international law but“(g)enerally, the diversity of Jewish communities and Jewish views is largely ignored. We are not given any audience by the government, unlike the Jewish establishment bodies which are regularly welcomed in Whitehall.”
The stand for internationalism and humanity by the Holocaust Survivors and Descendants was brushed off by the Starmer led government; will Burnham’s leadership lead to something different?

Far too many people in the UK have been very willingly duped by the self appointed Zionist establishment. They get nice little pats on the back as if they are actually good people, a career red carpet, political protection if necessary, and very often benefit from the removal of rivals that are better and more competent people, leaving us with self seeking slop spouting dross taking over everything. We are even instructed they are national treasures – one especially boring actress being a case in point. Please don’t call them Z B’s and B’s. In most instances the correct term is talentless.
And Tanja, let’s not forget a Zionist ‘tv celebrity’ who took great delight in trawling the internet looking for people to sue because of alleged antisemitism, with the help of a notorious Zionist lawyer, who said (I may be paraphrasing just a little) :
“People are surprised [when they discover I am Jewish] …as I don’t look like your typical Jew”
