(Where have I read these sayings before? )
Unite members backing Steve Turner, who is standing to be elected general secretary of Britain’s largest trade union, have shared hundreds of Facebook posts riddled with conspiracy theories and inflammatory language about Israel and Zionism.
The posts, passed to the JC by the Twitter activist Gnasher Jew, include cartoons likening Israel to the Nazis.
Many feature conspiracy theories while others brand Israel a “terrorist state”, “evil” or “genocidal maniacs”.
In one post, Unite Branch Secretary Joanne Harris accused Jews of seeking to “play the victim” whilst being the “oppressor”. Ms Harris is the vice chair of United Left, the group supporting Assistant General Secretary Steve Turner’s bid for the top job.
In 2016, she defended Palestinian suicide bombers, saying their murderous acts were “born out of desperation and a will to reclaim the land which was stolen from them”.
She also praised a colleague who railed against “antisemitic nonsense” and likened Israel to the Nazis.
The colleague said that “Israel’s leaders do the same to the Palestinians as what Hitler did to the Jewish. Today Israel is the same with what Hitler did, he was a fascist … Israel does a fascist work”.
In response, Ms Harris declared: “Very well said.”
She also liked an offensive post that said that “Zionists have always wanted control of all humanity”.
In another post, Ms Harris stated: “I am no Holocaust denier nor am I a Jew hater.
“I abhor what the Nazis did to the Jews in WW2 but that does not give them the right to do what they are doing to the Palestinians.” She branded Israel an “apartheid” state, engaged in “racism on a grand scale”.
