Demonstrators gathered outside the British Consulate in Manhattan, organized by Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns, on the day before Yom Kippur eve, to denounce England’s Labour Party chief Jeremy Corbyn‘s anti-Semitism and the hate he has engendered in Britain’s political and social systems.

“Holding placards such as ‘Corbyn:  Evil Anti-Semite. For Shame!,’ 30 demonstrators descended on the British Consulate in mid-Manhattan on Monday, September 17th, the day before Yom Kippur eve, to demand that British Labour Party head Jeremy Corbyn either ‘do tshuva‘ or resign. The action was not against the current Conservative Party government, but of concern that given today’s political instability in England, Labour could assume power.”  [Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns press release]

“Corbyn is leading Labour toward anti-Semitism, and British Jews are right to be worried.  In 2009, he invited Islamist ‘friends from Hamas’ to the House of Commons and said that the idea that the group ‘should be labelled as a terrorist organisation by the British government is really a big, big historical mistake.’ In 2010, he hosted an event (also at the House of Commons) on Holocaust Memorial Day in which a Jewish Auschwitz survivor compared the Israeli government to the Nazi regime. In 2014, he attended a ceremony in Tunisia and reportedly laid a wreath on the grave of one the Black September terrorists who murdered eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Before the Iranian state broadcaster, Press TV, was banned in January 2012, he reportedly accepted up to £20,000 for his appearances on the channel.” [National Review]

Video 1 : Hebrew Institute of Riverdale Associate Rabbi Ezra Seligsohn declared in a talk punctuated by chants from the demonstrators: “We are here to raise the alarm about growing anti-semitism across the world that’s embodied by the man Jeremy Corbyn. At this time,  just before Yom Kippur, we speak of tshuva, repentance. There are two ways, one in our brain — we read about Jeremy Corbyn, a problematic, evil person and think we don’t want him to come to a position of power. The other is what you standing here have done, act on your beliefs — and this is full tshuva, full repentance. When Corbyn equates Israel and zionism with Nazism, we say, am yisrael chai — the Jewish people live! When he links arms with terrorists, we say, am yisrael chai! When he shares platforms with Holocaust deniers, we say, am yisrael chai!” Rabbi Seigsohn concluded by blowing a shofar, a symbol of both a call to repentance and alarm.

Video 2: Judy Kadish, co-executive director of Americans for a Safe Israel, added: “It’s so important that we come out and stand outside the British Consulate, representing a country which is now our ally. But Jeremy Corbyn is rising to power, not despite his anti-semitism, but using it as his lever to create a following. It’s scary. British rabbi Jonathan Sacks said that never in his lifetime did he think this would happen again, but here it is. We will not honor a man, Jeremy Corbyn, who’s honored terrorists, whose members have told Jews supporting Israel to resign from posts in the Labour Party. He should do repentance.” The crowd shouted: Corbyn resign! Corbyn resign!”

Video 3: New York Board of Rabbis director Rabbi Joseph Potasnik told the crowd and hundreds of passersby: “We can actually commend Jeremy Corbyn for something no one else has done — bringing both left and right together. They agree: he’s an anti-semite. You can’t stand with Hamas, call them honorable, and think you’ll be honored. You can’t stand at the graves of the Munich Olympic terrorists and say you’re honorable. We all hope for repentance because we believe in miracles, but Corbyn won’t, so let him finally do the honorable thing and resign. We will not go away until he goes away.”

“The snap demonstration came the day after the normally low-profile British Jewish community turned out 2500 protesters against Corbyn in Manchester, a clear sign of their deep distress over the spread of anti-semitic hate in Labour with Corbyn at its helm.” [Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns press release]

Powerful words on the floor of Parliament from British Rabbi Jonathan Sacks on growing anti-Semitism. He ended with, “I never thought I would see this in my lifetime … that is why I cannot stay silent.”

The signs should simply read “Corbyn Is a Hater” and “Corbyn Is a Racist” … toss in “Corbyn Is a Nazi” … No need for anything else.

“organized by Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns, on the day before Yom Kippur eve”
I wish Jewish organizations in the US would turn against the Democrat party.

Ah, Keith Ellison… could he be the thread that unravels that anti-semite comfort zone called Democrat party?

It is terrific seeing folks protest Corbyn; it is about time. Corbyn is a blatant antisemite and a supporter of ISIS or any Islamic terror faction. Anyone who worships Yasser Arafat and the PLO Olympic terrorists is diabolical and a toxic piece of flesh and bone. Why he remains leader of the Labour Party is self-explanatory, the party is rife with anti-Semites; Teresa May and many of the Brit upper-crust are of the same Jew-Hating cult. No one, however, is as conspicuously an antisemite as Corbyn and his scourge of a party.

Sharia Law has become the keystone of the British elite and their Muslim allies. PM May is not conservative; she is a Liberal-Fascist, who has installed the tenets of Islam covertly. Indeed, there are non-Muslim Brits who protest this woman’s autocratic maneuvering; nevertheless, she, like Corbyn, continue their reign of terror and hatred towards Jews, and the non-Muslim citizenry. Perhaps, the only for Britain and its non-Muslim citizens is a revolution which will shake the UK’s foundation to its roots; the majority, likely, would prefer returning the nation to its roots.

In England, conference season is coming up and I believe Corbyn and his creation the modern “gentler” Labour party will be found at Liverpool where the hard left will be seen openly and in numbers. Fringe meetings where the unspeakable is spoken {and reported} will also take place.

They have rallied before in defence of their people and I hope Britain’s active Jewish population go there and protest at the rise of this neo fascist tendency because with the heaving Islamic masses from the great cities going, the fault lines and lack of the vaunted “community cohesion” will be clear for even a blind man to see.

I hope people do go in numbers because it will be the best chance for reality to be witnessed for the rest of this year, by helping themselves, Britain’s Jews help others like me who constantly battle for them against this rising tide of Islamic hate and violence suffered by all.

Unlike the US, where we have many more Jews than moslems (at least pursuant to Pew Research and 2017 stats); in the UK you have FAR more moslems .. MILLIONS more moslems. If the active Jewish population were to go there and protest, they would be surrounded by ten times their number, in just moslems alone. Toss in the racist and fascist pantyfa (“Don’t Get Your Panties In a Bunch”) … and the COWARDLY moslem loving, islamophiliac police ….
If the active Jewish population were to mobilize and protest .. there would be NO active Jewish population left in the UK.

We won’t change peoples minds, or events and trends AM by remaining invisible and silent.
Plod are there to keep order, behind barriers like in NY, every potential victim of these socialists and their new running dogs on the left and muslims must be prepared to stand and fight this out with their banners and opinions fearlessly and in public. It’s time to fight or go down on our knees.

If the human beings are attacked, by moslems, do you think that the poeleese will do one damned thing?
