Condemning Hamas – Corbyn Goes AWOL Again

Why do people think Jeremy Corbyn is a terrorist sympethising antisemite?

Because despite his denials, he can’t produce counter evidence, but provides much circumstantial evidence that is typical of someone trying to avoid the charge without actually refuting it by explicit condemnation of the terrorist, turning up among terrorist supporters a little too often, and being quick and loud to condemn Israel while being reticent when he does condemn “all bombing” and continually failing in specific condemnation of the terrorists. In the case of Hamas he has been vocal in their support.

Twitter isn’t the sole output of any politician or commentator, but their bias on that platform is a good guide to their opinions, particularly if they use it frequently.

The horrific attacks by Hamas on Israelis and people of other nationalities on 7th October shocked the world. In many Muslim quarters, including in many Western towns and cities, it brought out the glorification of Hamas terrorism.

What we might expect of our politicians and political commentators, even those critical of Israel, is a swift, explicit and vehement condemnation of the Islamic terrorism of Hamas.

Not a chance of that from Corbyn. You could bet your shirt on it. That is not to say he has not condemned “all acts of violence” – it’s his duplicitous way of pretending he has covered his ass from charges of support for terrorists. However, the extent and tone of his coverage varies dramatically depending on who the victims are and who is doing the harm.

Corbyn’s usual output is two or more tweets a day on various topics, and that was the case from the 4th to the 6th October. On the 7th he managed one tweet, following the Hamas attack.

This was all he had to say on the day that Hamas attacked Israel, breaking through it’s border with Gaza, attacking and killing civillians, including people attending a music festival, and attended by the usual rain of rockets that are indescriminate in their targets (ironically to the extent that they don’t kill enough Israeli innocents as Hamas might wish, but do kill Gaza occupants when they go wrong, but the latter are involuntary sacrifical martyrs as far as Hamas are concerend).

In the face of the Hamas barbarism this is about as mealy-mouthed a comment Corbyn could get away with without showing actual support for the attack by what he calls “friends” and of whom he has this to say:

“The idea that an organisation dedicated towards the good of the Palestinian people and bringing about long term peace and social justice and political justice in the whole region should be labelled as a terrorist organisation by the British Government is a big big historical mistake.”
Corbyn supports Hamas, in his own words

Dedicated to the good of the Palestinian people? No. They say not themselves, and even dismiss the well being of Palestinians, since according to the death cult they are martyrs for the cause.
Bringing about long term peace? Clearly not. They killed their Fatah opposition, who knows how many Palestinians directly, and even non-Israeli nationals.
Bringing about social justice? So, 7th October was social justice according to Corbyn? It’s not as if Corbyn didn’t know their history of killing Jewish and Muslim people.
In the whole region? Their stated intent is to take over the whole region, not to benefit it … but of course, Jihad and genocide of Jews is a benefit as far as Hamas is concerned, so perhaps that’s what Jezbollah meant.

To be explicit: Hamas is a death cult terrorist organisation that has opposed peace at every turn unless on its own terms, which include the annihilationof Israel, the killing of Jews, kaffir, blasphemers, apostates and others that will not submit to Islam. Along with ISIS, an offshoot of Hamas, it is one of the many horrific Islamic terrorist organisations active today around the world, but with a direct focus on Israel and Jews. And Corbyn, by his own words, approves of this organisation.

Corbyn had nothing to say on Twitter or Facebook on the 9th October. Better to keep quiet than continue to put your foot in your mouth.

Despite the mounting evidence of the Hamas Horror Show, Corbyn manages only two tweets on the 10th. You’d think if he could manage any comment at all it would be to blast Hamas and distance himself from them. No. He continues to play the duplicitous game. Note how saying “The horrific attacks on civillians in Israel were deplorable” does not actually condemn Hamas, but instead is a lead into attacks on Israel. His “times of war” ignore totally the fact that Israel is fighting a terrorist organisation motivated by an insane Islamic supremacist ideology intent on wiping out Israel.

From then on on Twitter and Facebook it’s as if the Hamas attacks never happened because once more he cares only about ‘Palestine’.

Outside of Twitter and Facebook, Corbyn is asked by journalists if he will condemn Hamas explicitly. As in the past, he will not. He only ever offers the same old double-speak, “I condemn all killing.”

Here he is on Piers Morgan doing his damndest to not condemn Hamas. Not only, he lies explicitly about not supporting Hamas. You can see from his own words above that he has explicitly supported Hamas.

Well, Corbyn, you don’t condemn it all with the veracity and strength the acts required with regard to Hamas, and it appears from your own actions and words, despite the gaslighting, you support them still.

You are a shockingly inhumane individually playing the role of a humanitarian.

Hamas Attack – Owen Jones Response?

On 7th October Hamas rockets rained down on Israel, Hamas broke through the wall (and they ask why the wall is there), and begand their killing spree.

This was an opportunity for the likes of Owen Jones, Jeremy Corbyn and other critics of Israel to show their agenda isn’t one of antisemitism. They could have come out and flat out denounced Hamas and the horrible attacks.

But, no… not unless they can have a dig at Israel.

These are the tweets of Owen Jones from the 7th. Let me rephrase that. These are the reposts of other tweets, made by Owen while he figures out how to make this look like he’s not an antisemite. They are all tweets attacking Israel, and where the a tweet even mentions the Hamas terrorism it does so in the context of “Well, Israel asked for it.”

Owen can’t manage one tweet that’s a direct condemnation of the Hamas attacks on Israel.

So, day 1 and zero condemnation of Hamas so far. Maybe on the 8th he gets around to a tweet condemning the Hamas attack?

Nope. He does find time to repost an attack on Kier Starmer … but not Hamas. Let me emphasise that: Owen not only hasn’t directly and explicitly condemned Hamas at this stage, he has reposted ZERO tweets that condemn Hamas or the Hamas attack, or even directly and unequicolally express sympathy for their Israeli and other victims.

OK, so the 9th, surely he must realise that people are going to suspect his motives if he can’t directly and explicitly condemn Hamas.

Let’s start with his reposts. This is interesting: “It cheapens the concept of antisemitism for defenders of the Israeli government to pretend it is antisemitic to hold Israel to the same standards …” Whao! Hold on there. This is precisely what is NOT being done (held to the same standards), by Owen. Not ONE direct condemnation of the Hamas attacks at this point. Maybe THAT is what makes criticism of ONLY Israel look a tad antisemitic.

At last, Owen starts to give his own opinions … but not quite what you might hope for.

Not until his tweet well into the 9th does he manage to write “slaugther of civillians, and Hamas’ sadistic murder…” It’s an ass covering after thought, no more. From here on, his tweets are just a sickening tirade of anti-Israel attacks. He does manage one retweet of a tweet “Reports coming out of South Israel …”, but again, two days later, it’s an ass cover.

On the 10th he reports on his appearance on TV, where he performs “a lengthy condemnation of Hamas’ sickening atrocity.” A bit late, Owen, and under live pressure. It might have been more convincing had it been sooner on Twitter.

Incidentally, Owen is fond of retweeting Mehdi Hasan. But he couldn’t even retweet this one, which to Mehdi’s credit, despite his own biases, is clear enough, even if he doesn’t name Hamas explicitly:

This whole episode is another instance of where Owen Jones (like Jeremy Corbyn) has a tendency to go missing at crucial times. Other examples:

Iran – Missing In Action – Owen Jones

Owen Jones – Missing In Action – The Battle of Batley

Naturally, the snivelling little twerp doesn’t like it when you drop Hamas charter quotes in his timeline as evidence what he might want to condemn with more effort..

The Big Lie of Islam: To Save One Man Is To Save All Mankind

This is taken from Quran 5:32:

and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.

This partial quote from the Quran is trotted out when one wants to convince people Islam is a religion of peace. The problem is, the verse from which is taken and the following one are threats of Islamic violence, mainly aimed at Jews.

That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land—it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.1 ˹Although˺ Our messengers already came to them with clear proofs, many of them still transgressed afterwards through the land.
Quran 5:32

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and spread mischief in the land is death, crucifixion, cutting off their hands and feet on opposite sides, or exile from the land. This ˹penalty˺ is a disgrace for them in this world, and they will suffer a tremendous punishment in the Hereafter.
Quran 5:33

The upshot of these two verses is the following:

Children of Israel – Jews – a threat to Jews.
Mischief in the land = proselytising a religion other than Islam, trying to convert Muslims, or generally committing blasphemy. This is apartheid Islam. You can see it in action regularly where Christians are persecuted, falsely accused – see the case of Asia Bibi, one of many.
Wage war against Allah does not mean just attacking Muslims, it also means resisting Muslims when they invade and colinise your land – as happened to Jews in Jewish Palestine (Israel/Juda).
Other interpretations include phrases such as “strike them about their necks” – beheading.

Another verse

Kill them wherever you come upon them1 and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution2 is far worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there. If they do so, then fight them—that is the reward of the disbelievers.
Quran 2:191

Islam started in Mecca, moved with Mohhamed to Medina. Everywhere there’s Islam outside Medina where Muslims invaded and colonised by the sword, consider the context: on the return to Mecca, and any place else they conquer, if the conquered resists your invasion, kill them. And of course, after killing the men, take the women as sex slaves.

Islam is an explicitly violent religion. And these verses and many others are deemed the explicit word of Aallah, valid for all time.

Not all Muslims follow through on these threats, but too many take it upon themselves as a duty – hence the many terrorist attacks we see around the world.

However, try to get ANY decent Muslim to actually renounce these verses – their biggets worry will be being deemed an apostate by other Muslims and therefore subject to death for apostasy.

When Richard Dawkins tried to get a Muslim hijabi to tell the truth about death for apostasy she did all the squirming you’d expect of someone that didn’t want to admit or reject it … but when the question was put to a religious leader, he confirmed it without batting an eye.

As do many of the prominent Muslims in the UK that like to turn up at Hyde Park’s Speakers Corner or on TV interviews.

Hamas v Israel and Signs of Antisemitism

There are many British left wing MPs and commentators covering their asses right now, making sure they include something about Hamas in their tweets. But hints of antisemitism shine through. They seem to gag on any attempt to directly and pre-emtively criticse Hamas, while exhibit all signs of verbal diarrhoea when it comes to criticisng Israel.

This is how to search for someone’s tweets on a topic:

Jeremy Corbyn

Jeremy Corbyn’s only tweet on Hamas is one of tacit support:

But his tweets on Israel are endless. It will come as no surprise that Corbyn is accused of antisemitism.

John McDonnel

John McDonnel at least hasn’t openly supported Hamas in a tweet, but he hasn’t been directly critical either…. prior to the 14th October, 7 days after the attack, he hadn’t even mentioned Hamas.

But, as you’ll see with others, he’s eventually twigged that it looks a little antisemitic if you don’t at least mention Hamas:

“Supporting or failing to condem either makes one complicit“

Well, by his own standards, he is complicit in the support of Hamas, by ommission.

But, note the ploy here that’s used by others. Hamas, if criticised at all, is always or mostly in the context of criticising Israel, the main target or their ire. Though Hamas terrorist attacks come first, they don’t openly and willingly criticise Hamas immediately, but rather wait for the Israeli response, when the left’s true colourse emerge, and Hamas, if mentioned at all, is merely ass cover, because they’re so used to being called antisemites or being asked “and your position on Hamas?”

Richard Burgon

One Tweet that directly references Hamas, several days after the Hamas attack, and then only as cover to criticise Israel.

Meanwhile, here he is among the Palestinian and Hamas supporters criticising Israel. One of his many tweets attacking Israel.

But surely, he can be found at rallies supporting Jews? Not according to his Twitter timeline search for “Jews or Jewish” … though he does make the grand effort of a token tweet on Holocaust memorial day … as do many of these hypocrites.

Keir Starmer

Now, we all realise Starmer, as leader of New New Labour, trying to distance themselves from the extremists in the party, had to come out and criticise Hamas, knowing full well this would bring down a rain of hate upon his head from the loony left. But, did he too really have to wait seven days after the attack to publish his first direct criticism of Hamas?

Well, at least on the 7th he did defend Israel.

However, his tweets on Israel seem to be few and belated. But, fair enough, the criticisms aren’t as persistent and unhinged as those of some of his colleagues. And his mentions of Palestine are fewer.

It seems he’s a little more cagey than others.

Owen Jones

Search: from:OwenJones84 Hamas

Owen is critical of Hamas, but often has a strange way of going about it. I genuinely don’t think he’s antisemitic, but does show his left wing bias, as he still sees much of the problem through the eyes of anti-colonialism … but like many on the left with the cherry picking of history, only seems to go as far back as the early and mid 20th century. There’s never a criticism of Islamic colonialism that an several occassions invaded what have been Jewish lands for most of recorded history. There very fact that Muslims built a mosque out of spite on Temple Mount, as significant Jewish holy place, seems to escape his notice. That Jews are persecuted still around the world, and that the ONE place they have where they can take it upon themselves to provide their own protection, and that this place is claimed by Hamas that has an existing charter to wipe Jews of the map, all this, but still, he can’t quite look at that wider picture, is resonant with his left leaning traditions: back the homophobic Muslims, attack Israel.

Now search: from:OwenJones84 Israel

You’ll see the difference. Nowhere near as critical of Hamas as Israel, and doesn’t buy into the Islamic conspiracy against Jews quite as much as his hatred for Western imperialism.

His biases are also evident here:

Iran – Missing In Action – Owen Jones

Owen Jones – Missing In Action – The Battle of Batley

Ash Sarkar

Search from:AyoCaesar Hamas

Search from:AyoCaesar Israel

You’ll notice a difference. With the former, it’s either jokey sarcastic responses or outright condemnation of those that suggests oppsoing Israle and supporting Palestine might hint at a tacit support for Hamas. There’s the “of course Hamas is wrong to kill Jews” token, naturally; what left wing communist Muslim could get away with not dropping the odd criticism of Hamas these days.

But the criticism of Israel always seems to carry more weight, more gravity. Funny, that, eh, Ash?

The Irony Of Conflation

Common among many of the left is this rejction of the notion that criticising Israel is not antisemitism, and that not criticising Hamas is not suppiort for Hamas.

Yet these very same people will have no trouble seeing support for women in sports as being transphobic, or criticising Islam (source of ISIS, Hamas, Hezbolah, Boko Haram, al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, as a far right misogynistic homophobic ideology) as being Islamophobic (fearing beheading, suicide boming, stabbing is not a phobia) or even racist (even when ex-Muslims do it – Islam isn’t a race).

The Left and Islam

The further irony is that the left see Muslims as a minority – all 1.8+ billion, an oppressed minority, when in fact not only are Muslims and non-Muslims oppressed in many Islamic states, but Israel is threatened by many of the surrounding Islamic states. This misconception, fueled by a hate of the West’s democracy and economic systems (evil Capitalism), is taking a long time to sink in.

You’d think the left would have cottoned on by now. The Irianian revolution consisted of Marxist and Islamist activists working together to overthrow the Shah. But what happened next? The Marxists were eliminated. The left are the dupes of Islamic expansionism.

Left Wing Antisemitism

There are antisemites of all political persuasions, some more explicit and self-ware and intentional than others. The odd nature of left wing antisemitism is that it seems to be a subconscious bias for many – they really believe they support Jews in their struggle against hatred, but find it stranegly difficult to consistently and loudly and proactively call out the antisemitism that has an obvious home in Islam (since its founder discovered his own antisemitism soon enough). And here we see another ironic similarity, between this subconscious bias of theirs, and their common claim that racism exists as a subconscious bias among white people … well, OK, yet left wing antisemitism doesn’t leap out at them as one form of it?
