The extent of Jewish Power in the United Kingdom

Gideon Falter
THE EXTENT OF JEWISH POWER IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism might appear to be an innocent title for an organisation that would merely be about preventing attacks against members of Jewish Communities but then you start digging up and finding things that you wish were not there. The ramifications go as far as affecting the administration of justice, the mass media, political parties and Parliament as a whole and even the Church of England that is supposed to be representing Christianity in the United Kingdom.

But it doesn't stop there. When you try and understand the motivations of the British Prime Minister in - for example - launching a missile attack against Syria based on lack of evidence and that constitutes a violation of International Law by bypassing the Security Council of the Organisations of the United Nations and engaging in military actions against countries that are not at war with the United Kingdom, sooner than later you come across Jewish lobbies. The well publicised visit of Priti Patel to Israel going to occupied territories and maintaining secret conversations without the knowledge of the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson shows things as they are.

Gideon Falter, head of CAA, made explicitly clear that his organisation works in close cooperation with 10 Downing Street (the office of the British Prime Minister, the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service) but it goes much farther than that. When you look at the list of 'sponsors and/or members of the Management you find a former Archbishop of Canterbury and people who are very active within the Crown Prosecution Service and prominent figures of the Political Establishment.



The RT HON. The Baron

Lord Ahmad is the Minister for the Commonwealth and the United Nations at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. He was formerly the Parliamentary Under Secretary for countering extremism at the Home Office. During his political career he has taken a particular interest in communities and integration, and has ensured that Home Office Policy reflects the nexus between Anti-Semitism and Extremism.

Note: Home Office nexus between Anti-Semitism and Extremism. Terror Laws limiting Freedom of Speech and applied to cases not related to terrorism?


BOB BLACKMAN MP

Bob Blackman is the Member of Parliament for Harrow East. He has repeatedly spoken out against antisemitism in Parliament and tabled motions relating to antisemitism and the Holocaust. He is often sought out by the media to comment on antisemitism.




THE RT REV. AND RT HON. DR THE LORD CAREY OF CLIFTON PC RVC GBE FRSA

Both during his tenure as Archbishop of Canterbury and since, Lord Carey has spoken out firmly against antisemitism and worked tirelessly to strengthen bonds between Christians and Jews. Lord Carey led efforts to deepen the Church of England’s involvement in Holocaust commemoration, and has devoted many addresses to discussion of the lessons of the Holocaust. He is Honorary President of the International Council of Christians and Jews and in 2016 he delivered the Simon Wiesenthal Centre’s important Dorothy Gardner Adler State of Antisemitism Lecture.

THE BARONESS DEECH OF CUMNOR DBE

Baroness Deech’s career has been one of distinguished public service. She has served as chair of the Bar Standards Board, Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education, Principal of St Anne’s College, Oxford, and chair of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority. She has also been a Governor of the BBC, and the Gresham Professor of Law. Hers is a staunch voice against antisemitism in the House of Lords and she has taken a prominent stance in calling out antisemitism at universities.

Note: Mass Media - BBC



MIKE FREER MP

Mike Freer is the Member of Parliament for Finchley and Golders Green. He has repeatedly spoken out against antisemitism in Parliament and the media. He first worked with Campaign Against Antisemitism to prevent neo-Nazis from demonstrating against Jews in Golders Green.

Note: Determines who demonstrates and where?



JONATHAN GOLDBERG QC

Jonathan Goldberg is a formidable Queen’s Counsel whose career has included many landmark criminal trials, most recently securing the release of Marine Sergeant Alexander Blackman. He is a fierce opponent of antisemitism and has personally seen to it that an antisemitic barrister was disbarred. He is a staunch supporter of Campaign Against Antisemitism and led our first private prosecution, pro bono.

Note: Active both internally and externally with regards to the Crown Prosecution Service.


FABIAN HAMILTON MP

Fabian Hamilton is the Member of Parliament for Leeds North East. He is proudly Jewish and takes an uncompromising stance against antisemitism. He is currently the Shadow Minister for Peace and Disarmament working in the Defence and Foreign Office Teams.

Note: Proudly Jewish and presumably proud member of the Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet. This appears to somewhat contradict a statement made by Lord Mitchell. Mr Hamilton is Jewish and presumably supports Jeremy Corbyn.

COLONEL RICHARD KEMP CBE Colonel Kemp served in the British Army from 1977 to 2006. He was commander of British forces in Afghanistan and completed fourteen operational tours of duty around the world, including in Iraq, the Balkans and Northern Ireland. His last years of service were spent in the Cabinet Office where he headed the international terrorism intelligence team and was chairman of the COBRA Intelligence Group. Having retired from the army, Colonel Kemp is now a writer whose expertise is frequently sought by national and international news media. He also consults companies on leadership, security, intelligence, counter-terrorism and defence and is a public speaker in each of these areas. Having taken a professional interest in extremism, Colonel Kemp recognised the links between extremism and antisemitism, and the threat that antisemitism therefore poses to society. He has been giving his time to campaigns to raise awareness about antisemitism since his retirement and is well known as a staunch friend of the Jewish people.

Note: British Armed Forces, British Intelligence, you can interpret 'well known as a staunch friend of the Jewish people' and its connotations when it comes to Defence and National Security.

BRIAN KENNELLY QC Brian Kennelly is an award-winning Queen’s Counsel who has argued cases at the Supreme Court and various international courts. Prior to taking silk he was on the Attorney General’s ‘A’ Panel of Counsel to the Crown. He is sought after for his expertise in public administrative law and regulatory law, including sanctions against extremist organisations. He is a staunch supporter of Campaign Against Antisemitism and led our first judicial review, pro bono, resulting in the quashing of a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service not to prosecute a neo-Nazi.


Note: Pressuring Home Office to prosecute individuals after cases were rejected by the Crown Prosecution Service?


THE BARON MITCHELL OF HAMPSTEAD

Lord Mitchell has led a distinguished career in business and politics, during which he has always fought against antisemitism. For five years he chaired the Coexistence Trust, whose mission is to encourage dialogue between Muslim and Jewish students at British universities. As a prominent member of the Labour Party, he was highly critical of a report into antisemitism by Shami Chakrabarti which whitewashed severe and ongoing problems in the Party, and condemned her elevation to the peerage following the publication of the report (she remains the only peer ever nominated by Jeremy Corbyn). Upon Mr Corbyn’s re-election as leader of the Party, Lord Mitchell resigned from the Party on principle, telling a television audience that Mr Corbyn had failed to tackle antisemitism in the Party and had surrounded himself with people who are hostile to Jews.

DR MATTHEW OFFORD MP

Dr Offord is the Member of Parliament for Hendon. Since becoming an MP in 2010, he has campaigned against antisemitism, including by highlighting the permissive attitude of the authorities towards supporters of genocidal antisemitic terrorist organisation Hizballah.




NOTE: Notably an angle on issues not related to British internal affairs but more of an issue that affects merely Israel. Hizballah is not an anti-Semitic terrorist organisation but a Semitic organisation since those it represents are also Semites.


THE RT HON. SIR ERIC PICKLES

Sir Eric has devoted himself to fighting antisemitism throughout his political career. He has been instrumental in securing the widespread adoption of the International Definition of Antisemitism. He is the United Kingdom’s Special Envoy for post-Holocaust issues and has formerly served as the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. He was the Member of Parliament for Brentwood and Ongar for 25 years and used his last speech in the House prior to retiring to highlight the selection of disgraced former MP David Ward by the Liberal Democrats, resulting in Ward being sacked as a candidate within hours.

NOTE: Interesting angle in terms of intrusion of the Conservative Party into the internal affairs of another political party.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. When you witness certain cases brought to Crown Courts you see the implications and repercussions of certain associations. As Home Secretary during a Labour Administration, Jacqui Smith introduces a piece of legislation to combat Terrorism. From that point forwards, the temptation to use anti-Terror legislation in cases of Freedom of Speech has been irresistible. 

On March 7th 2017, The Guardian reports that "The Crown Prosecution Service is reconsidering whether to prosecute a far-right activist for alleged antisemitism on the eve of a highly unusual legal challenge to its decision to let the case drop. Government lawyers were due at the high court in London on Wednesday for judicial review proceedings brought by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism."

What the previous paragraph shows is that Jewish Power active at 10 Downing Street twisted the arms of the Crown Prosecution Service to force the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute. 

The Guardian states: "The CPS originally examined the allegations against Bedford-Turner for five months, but decided in December 2015 a jury was unlikely to convict him of incitement to religious or racial hatred". 

The Crown Prosecution Service spent five months studying a case and decides not to prosecute. In March 2017, Jewish Power puts Crown Prosecution Service against the wall. Gideon Falter made a derogatory statement against the Crown Prosecution Service and the Police and said: "To get through the threshold of the police and then through the incompetent and arrogant attitude of the Crown Prosecution Service, it's practically impossible to get something prosecuted". 

When the Crown Prosecution Service and the Police acting within the limits of their attributions make a decision that does not satisfy Jewish Powers, Jewish Powers say that they don't please Jewish Powers because "they are incompetent and arrogant". This is an interesting interpretation of the role of those administering justice in the United Kingdom.


During a speech made in July 2015 in Whitehall, Jez Turner denounced the existence of the Shomrin that he refer to as an example of what he defined as disproportionate influence of Jewish organisations in the United Kingdom. Mr Turner said later on when the Crown Prosecution pressured by those Mr. Turner criticised had to prosecute. At a speech Mr. Turner made in 2017 he anticipated what would be the outcome of the prosecution. It is my view, taking into account the aforementioned, that Mr. Jeremy Bereford-Turner was crucified by those he criticised in a case that was not so much about Freedom of Speech, Racism or Anti-Semitism but about the dangers of challenging Jewish Power in the United Kingdom.

Mr Turner was sentenced to 12 months. Six of those months will be served in prison and the remaining six months will be served on licence (a form of conditional release with strings attached). Unwittingly, Jewish Powers in the United Kingdom have shown that Mr. Turner's assertions about 'disproportionate influence of Jewish organisations in the United Kingdom' are the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth.

But there is a lot to be said about the fact that the case was only taken into consideration because of the pressure exerted by the Executive on the Judiciary. In a Democracy, there must be separation of powers (Executive, Legislative and Judiciary) and it is my view that the fundamental principle of separation of powers was violated and this creates a very dangerous precedent when the Executive acting on behalf of a private organisation with a very specific agenda of its own forces the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute.

And there is more. The Prosecution had the intention of using Anti-Terror Legislation against Mr. Turner and until the last minute made every effort to create yet another dangerous precedent by mixing legislation regarding Free Speech, Anti-Semitism and Terrorism.

If the separation of powers is violated, if legislation about Free Speech, Anti-Semitism and Terrorism is turned into one and the same thing, we are on a slippery slope towards a Totalitarian State.
