MCB: News stories portraying Israel negatively are anti-semitic
by Scoop Shachtman, 14 November 2007
The MCB propaganda campaign on Islamophobia, funded by Ken Livingstone’s electorate, sees negative stories about Muslim countries as Islamophobic. As Nick Cohen notes:
as we skim read we learned that it was giving Islam “negative associations” to report that the Iranian regime was holding a conference of Holocaust deniers. Muslim democrats in Iran opposed it. Livingstone and his “leading academics” could not. Meanwhile, Journalists – including me – conveyed “negative associations” when we wrote that Jack Straw was standing up for the rights of women when he criticised the full veil. Muslim feminists oppose the veil. Mr Livingstone and his “leading academics and experts” cannot.
The obvious logical extension to this is that news stories portraying Israel in a negative light are anti-semitic. So this, this, and this are anti-semitic. I have to admit this is a surprising position for the MCB to hold.

Scoop, something OT - your fight on the Spyer article thread in CiF was valiant, as usual. One of the commenters said something that caused me to blow my coffee all over and was a bullseye for my post here:

So consider it dedicated to you ;-)

Snoopy,
I hadn’t seen the Spyer article, and can confirm that the Schachtman in that thread is not me.

Nice try, but it doesn’t work for the people who ‘were behind the French Revolution, the Communist revolution and most of the revolutions we heard and hear about … … formed secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies and achieving Zionist interests … control imperialistic countries and instigate them to colonize many countries in order to enable them to exploit their resources and spread corruption there … were behind World War I … formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the world … were behind World War II, through which they made huge financial gains by trading in armaments … instigated the replacement of the League of Nations with the United Nations and the Security Council to enable them to rule the world … There is no war going on anywhere, without having their finger in it’ and ‘rule the world by proxy … get others to fight and die for them … invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so that they can enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries’.

Oops, my bad - one letter is all. But I’ll leave the dedication standing, if it is all the same to you.
Hakmao - who got the authorization to write about me in public? Gee…

The poor persecuted MCB. If only we could see the beauty of Islamic justice in action, the world would be a much happier place:

You, Shachtmans, keep multiplying at this rate, I’ll have to take some countermeasures…
I feel like becoming a Shachtman myself lately.
