Hard left cranks are sharing this fake gotcha aimed at people who spoke out against insitutional antisemitism in Labour.

The implication is that they don't about antisemitism because they didn't mention Nazis protesting in London.

It's nonsense for several reasons...
Firstly, most of those accounts explicitly condemned the Nazi thuggery.
Here's the Board of Deputies statement
Here's a tweet from John Mann's Twitter timeline
Margaret Hodge, who actually fought off the BNP in Barking, tweeted this
Ruth Smeeth, again very active on Twitter condemning the Nazis
Rachel Riley gave these tweets her seal of approval
And the Jewish Labour Movement expressed their horror
I'm not sure whether gnasher or LAAS did, but it is not actually within the remit of accounts specifically create to highlight Labour antisemitim to call out a far right march.

Can we not take it as read that people horrified by antisemitism do not support Nazis!
Which leads to my second point.

What do they think they are proving?

The idea that someone not tweeting about Nazis is a mark of their approval of the nazis or sign that they don't care is absolute idiocy.

Allow me to demonstrate using the same logic a these numskulls.
Here's an actual list of "anti-racists" who had nothing to say on Twitter about Nazis marching in London

Jeremy Corbyn
John McDonnell
Jackie Walker
Chris Williamson

By the Crank Left's own logic, these people either supported or do not care about violent nazis on our streets
Now, obviously the logic makes no sense. It is quite obvious that both sets of lists are of people who abhor the Far Right, and looking for non-tweets on a Twitter timeline is pointless.

Yet they spread this lie aroung the Internet.
They spread it because they think the existence of Nazis disproves the idea that the Left can be antisemitic.

They imply that Jewish non-condemnation of Nazis (can't they take it as read Jews don't support Nazis) means criticism of Labour antisemitism was fake and weaponised.
But it is bullshit. And it is obviously bullshit.

So why share a tweet, which is not true, that even if it were true anyway, makes no logical sense.

I can't think why?
