Thread on antisemitic conspiracy theories shared by Jeremy Corbyn and others:
I was reminded today by a RT of an old thread of mine, that a number of familiar names from the British Left signed the infamous Cairo Declaration of 2002.

The 2002 Cairo Declaration includes both antisemitic conspiracy theories and support for acts of terrorist violence perpetrated in the name of the Palestinians, largely against Jewish citizens of Israel.
In this extract, the reference to “Zionist perpetrators of genocidal crimes” is nothing more than an untruth (there is no genocide against Palestinians) that targets the 90% plus of Jews worldwide (including of course those Jews who are Israeli citizens) who identify as “Zionist”
This next extract not only turns history on it’s head by stating that the US protects Israel from condemnation (Israel has been the subject of more condemnatory motions, statements and declarations by the international community than any other nation state, ever), it also.....
.....repeats an often shared antisemitic conspiracy theory that suggests that Israel controls the foreign policy of the US.
This extract also suggests that acts of terrorist violence committed against Jewish Israelis are not acts of terrorism and that these acts are legitimate.

This next extract from the 2002 Cairo Declaration contains another antisemitic and completely deranged conspiracy theory, suggesting a secret US/Israel conspiracy to attain Israeli dominance over the Arab world.
Kier Starmer has repeatedly stated he will have “zero tolerance” for antisemitism from Labour members.
He must now move to suspend, pending investigation, any Labour members who signed this openly antisemitic & widely circulated document. This includes Jeremy Corbyn MP.

You can also spot other well known names from the British Left who signed the 2002 Cairo Declaration, some of whom are also current Labour Pary members.
George Monbiot - not a Labour member - deserves a special mention.
Ends.
