So Imam Abdullah Patel dares to mention the level of Israeli political influence in the United Kingdom and the United States. If the people who run Israel are not Zionists, then what are they, and who is?
Patel employs a version of the line about the Holocaust and the Israelis that "the abused child has become the abuser", which used to be uttered publicly and in those words by Conservative MPs 20 years ago. "They think that it gives them the right to treat other people like that" was standard Tory fare into my adult lifetime, and if anything it is even more true in the Netanyahu years. Rory Stewart should ask his old regiment, with which my father served in Palestine, about the founders of the State of Israel.
And Patel agrees with the old guard feminists that all men are potential rapists. I do not agree with them on that, although I do agree with them on transgenderism, on prostitution, and on pornography. I strongly suspect that so does the Imam. If he had uttered his views on those issues, then today's reaction would have been just as virulent, and very largely from the same people.
He should have been "vetted" by whom, exactly? The Israeli Embassy? Yes. Yes, that is who the people who are saying this have in mind, and they regard that opinion as self-evident. They are aghast that it did not happen.
Wait until someone tells them that, whatever the view of the Crown Prosecution Service or of the "Equality" and Human Rights Commission, their funny little "International" definition of anti-Semitism is not in any sense the law. One of my lecturers on the Old Testament once told me never to trust anything with the word "International" in the title. He was right.

Some of us can spot a mile off the imported New York practice of branding as "anti-Semitic" any expression of uppity blackness even when it is toned down as mine. The right-wing Labour machine in County Durham unexpectedly made me politically black, when I was already well into my twenties.
The key figure was Tony Blair's racist Chief Whip, whose name, face, and words of endorsement graced the 2017 General Election literature of the present MP for North West Durham. That MP has since acquired a mixed-race son. Her predecessor but one, on the other hand, struggled with the concept of mixed race. She seemed to think that it was biologically impossible, and she would not have our kind as council candidates in her constituency. Yet the present MP must have sought, and clearly accepted, the endorsement of that predecessor but one.
Now, of course, the key figure is Simon Henig. With his criminal accomplices in the CPS, and like, for example, the EHRC, he embodies perfectly the hypocrisy of the racist Liberal Establishment, whether towards integration at home, or towards imperial wars and white settler colonialism abroad.
They accept that miscegenation is possible, because otherwise there could be no stricture against it. But they can conceive, so to speak, of nothing more distasteful than that practice or its products. Question any of this, or even point it out, and you are of course "anti-Semitic". Here comes the EHRC. Here comes the CPS. Here comes Simon Henig.
If you want to vote for people who accept no definition of anti-Semitism beyond that in the Oxford English Dictionary, "Hostility to or prejudice against Jews", then another hung Parliament is coming, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party will be registered before the House of Commons rises for the summer recess, even if I have to pay for it myself, ongoing lawfare or no ongoing lawfare.
And I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham even if I can raise only the deposit, which I could do by going pretty overdrawn, although that was not how I was brought up. I would still prefer to raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign, but I am no longer making my candidacy conditional on having done so. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
