Rebecca Long Bailey sacked from Shadow Cabinet on 08:22 - Jun 26 with 2043 views | ElephantintheRoom | Is it strong leadership - or pathetic over reaction that has deflected media away from tory sleaze at a time of national crisis, just when Labour were beginning to look a bit sensible? I haven't read the article and only twits use twitter - but the thrust of her comment was presumably that knealing on someone's neck is taught as part of some deeply insightful krav maga technique allegedly taught to USA police and others by 'the israeli special forces' I don't suppose they invoke killing someone as the best form of self defence - but the fact that US police learn krav maga along with thousands if not millions of other us citizens is undeniably true.... it's no more antisemitic than learning a bit of judo. | |

So we’ve now had Maxine Peake, Amnesty International and the Independent all all admit it was a baseless claim. Yet the usual suspects were keep to find dubious links to support the conspiracy theory which scapegoated the world’s only Jewish state for a racist Police murder in a completely different country. Spending a lie based on prejudice is racism. [Post edited 26 Jun 2020 8:37]

Rebecca Long Bailey sacked from Shadow Cabinet on 20:50 - Jun 25 by GlasgowBlue | For linking two threads where you defend sntisemtism and are called out for it by people like a Steve M and Badger? Seriously? Unless you go back and edit your comments out then you don’t have a leg to stand on. Edit. Did you call for badger to be banned for these comments. “I'll tell what doesn't read well. Your constant attempts to excuse, defend and explain away genuine concerns. You are coming across like those defending Brexit Party members bigotry, frankly.” “ STOP. Defending .Racism.” “ Poor old Darth is starting to across a bit like the Taxi Gang when faced iwth evidence of Brexit Party bigotry. I hope he doesn't go 'full Redacted of North Essex'.” “ You're still doing it. Stop. Defending. Racism.” [Post edited 25 Jun 2020 20:54]

After your recent performances, I don't think racism and discrimination is a high horse you can really climb on anymore. You've spent most of the last 4 months doing the job of spreading the new wave of Western facist lies for the ruling class free of charge. [Post edited 26 Jun 2020 9:20]

Erm - surely you are the one being racist seeing anything in this other than mass hysteria - and a weak new leader desperate to be seen to do the right thing? Ignorance and weakness is not necessarily racism. An israeli pseudo martial art is used in US police training - fact. Do they recommend knealing on a neck - possibly, possibly not. do they recommend killing someone by knealing on their neck- doubt it..... but I dont think Long-Bailey had any deep thoughts or even knowledge of what she was passing on to her twits. I'm not sure the wishy-washy Long-Bailey suggested any more than that - and her attitude is pathetic at a time of national crisis - and blatant Tory corruption being incompetently covered up. Which makes Starmer seem weak whatever he does - which was probably her self-righteous intention anyway. | |

Can you back up this “fact” that the tactic of kneeling on a suspect’s neck originated in Israel and that this “israeli pseudo martial art” was taught to US Police officers by members of the Israeli security forces? You know? Actual evidence? | |

That’s not evidence. That’s a rehash of a story that originated in The Morning Star which itself was based on a speculative quote from Neta Golan, the co-founder of International Solidarity Movement (ISM). He says: “When I saw the picture of killer cop Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd by leaning in on his neck with his knee as he cried for help and other cops watched, I remembered noticing when many Israeli soldiers began using this technique of leaning in on our chest and necks when we were protesting in the West Bank sometime in 2006.’’ Now where is the evidence that this technique was taught to Minnesota Police at a conference in 2012? | |

'At least 100 Minnesota police officers attended a 2012 conference hosted by the Israeli consulate in Chicago, the second time such an event had been held. There they learned the violent techniques used by Israeli forces as they terrorise the occupied Palestinian territories under the guise of security operations. The so-called counterterrorism training conference in Minneapolis was jointly hosted by the FBI. Israeli deputy consul Shahar Arieli claimed that the half-day session brought “top-notch professionals from the Israeli police” to share knowledge with their US counterparts.' Do you have irrefutable evidence that the above didn't happen? Do I get 48 hours on the naughty step again or is it straight to the headmaster's office? | | | |

That doesn't prove the police officer who killed George Floyd was trained by the Israel Secret Service, the fact is Anti-Semitism is a form of racism and all forms of racism are wrong Remember 'Anti-Semitism = hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group'. The Minnesota police I'm sure are trained by loads of different people, the statement indicated it was the Israel Secret Service who had trained the Minnesota police specifically on the aspect of kneeling on the neck when there was no evidence. To point that directly at the Israel Secret Service without the evidence demonstrates a 'hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious or racial group'. If the author had evidence that kneeing on the neck had 100% been given to that police officer by the Israel Secret Service then that's different and without it there was no need to include. To be fair to the author she seems to accept it was wrong but that doesn;t exclude RLB retweeting as Starmer said "Anti-Semitism takes many different forms and it is important that we all are vigilant against it.” | | | |

Has anyone specifically argued that the kneeling technique is proven? That was a leap too far by Peake and the Independent themselves - although one that has been doing the rounds quite extensively before it became a sackable offence to retweet it as a small detail in a much longer piece. So, I agree, it's important to be accurate. Similarly, I'd like to see someone/anyone demonstrate that this was antisemitic. Given the overall context of what Peake said as someone returning from Palestine re: systemic racism as a global issue and where the Israeli police and security forces are leading the way. So much so that they're evidently considered the experts in suppressive policing. | |

Your link claims Israel is training American cops in "violent techniques used by Israeli forces as they terrorise the occupied Palestinian territories" but then provides exactly zero evidence or documentation to back up this claim. Instead there is an exhaustive list of states conducting police exchanges with Israel. In the original blog from where your link was lifted, every one is hyperlinked. If you click on the hyperlinks you won't find a single one to support the claim that Israel taught "violent techniques used by Israeli forces as they terrorise the occupied Palestinian territories". Most are news articles about exchanges and briefings on things like counterterrorism, airport security, & financial fraud. The New York link explicitly mentions other countries. The New York seminar mentions exchanges with police forces in Germany, Britain, and France. The Georgia link talks about briefings with police from Israel, Italy, Greece, Canada, and six other countries. Yet you and others with problematic views seem only to concentrate on the exchanges with the world's only Jewish state. Maxine Peake has rowed back on her comments. Amnesty International have denied they were the source of the original story and the Indy has retracted. Why are you so keen to continue peddling this lie? [Post edited 26 Jun 2020 11:42]

Long Bailey is a political lightweight & an electoral liability so getting rid of her is a key part of Starmer's Labour Party looking like a credible alternative government. How the Labour left reacts & whether Starmer can quell the in fighting nearer the next General Election is another question, but lancing these boils a long way ahead of a likely election is the right strategy. | |

Rebecca Long Bailey sacked from Shadow Cabinet on 11:47 - Jun 26 with 1687 views | GlasgowBlue | The New Statesman's Stephen Bush nails it here. "The trouble with Peake’s comments was that she singled out Israel — suggesting that the technique which lead to the death of Floyd was learnt in Israel. Why should Israel’s security services be treated as more responsible for the killing than those of the United Kingdom or France, or any of the countless forces that use aggressive restraint techniques? Why is Peake, a British actor, singling out the world’s only Jewish majority state as the point of origin for the killing of an African-American? Why not focus on the country she lives in? Why not on the United States, where the killing took place? It is an example of the all-too-common behaviour of parts of the British left: of placing Israel at the heart of a global nexus of various ills. But it was not Peake’s repeating of the trope that summed up the problem — it was Long-Bailey ignoring it in order to share a piece that was supportive of Corbyn. That’s long been the true problem in Labour — not the number of people in the party who are antisemitic, but the number of people who struggle to recognise it when they see it, whether it is painted on a wall or mentioned as an aside in an interview by an acclaimed actor". https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/rebecca-long-baileys-sacking-labour-keir-sta That last paragraph could be aimed at one or two on here. | |

"Why should Israel’s security services be treated as more responsible for the killing than those of the United Kingdom or France, or any of the countless forces that use aggressive restraint techniques?" Because she'd just returned from Palestine and the Israeli police and secuity forces lead the way in systemic racism and associated techniques. It's really not that complicated. | |

Don't feel sorry for yourself, it's the context which she said it. There was no need to put 'Israeli Secret Service' in there unless she had actual proof On LBC the other day they had people phoning in about their own personal racist stories and one of them thought was good from the perspective of this situation Her story was she was at work and people around her were talking about what they were doing at the weekend and she mentioned her and husband were helping a friend move and they were borrowing an SUV to help as their car was only small. A colleague then replied 'I thought all people like you owned SUV's or big cars by default?' She said it was a few years ago and she brushed it off, she wouldn't now especially given the usage of 'all people like you'. While some people might say he wasn't using racists words in its context its racist and he was clearly thinking in racists terms to even say, all people like you. Hence as Starmer said "Anti-Semitism takes many different forms and it is important that we all are vigilant against it.” | | | |
