Gerald Kaufman charges Jews with exerting undue influence over Conservative Party.

The Anti-Defamation League condemned on Thursday recent comments by British Labor MP Gerald Kaufman, who accused Jews of exerting undue influence over the Conservative Party and charged that Israel is fabricating terror attacks as an excuse to kill Palestinians.
Speaking at a pro-Palestinian event on Tuesday, Kaufman said, “It’s Jewish money, Jewish donations to the Conservative Party – as in the general election in May – support from The Jewish Chronicle, all of those things, bias the Conservatives.”
“More than half the stabbing claims were definitely fabricated. The other half, some were true, the others there was no way to tell since they executed Palestinians and no one asked questions,” The Jewish Chronicle quoted him as saying. “They fabricated a stabbing story to justify the killings before they found out they were not Palestinians.”
The ADL called on Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labor Party who recently committed to combating anti-Semitism, to take action in the wake of Kaufman’s remarks.
“Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn should condemn Gerald Kaufman’s rhetoric and take disciplinary action,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “Corbyn pledged a month ago to stand up against anti-Semitism. Now is his chance.”
Kaufman is the longest-serving lawmaker in the House of Commons. In 2011, he apologized for remarking: “Here we are, the Jews again” during a debate about Israel with another Jewish lawmaker who disagreed with his attitude to Israel.
Simon Johnson, the chief executive of Britain’s Jewish Leadership council, said the comments attributed to Kaufman on Tuesday “refer to all the old-fashioned anti-Semitic tropes.” Kaufman, he added, “owes the Jewish community a significant apology.”
A recent ADL poll found that 12 percent of those surveyed in the UK harbor anti-Semitic attitudes, compared to 24 percent in Western Europe.
Give credit where it is due. Mr Kaufman us to be plauded for his honest comments. It is no coincidence that in recent history the Conservative Party referred to itself as the Torah party.
What does intrigue me is the reference above to 12% in UK harbouring anti-semitic attitudes.
So low? Now I begin to understand the frantic push to introduce Common Core math into the classromms of this Septic Isle.
Give credit where it is due. Mr Kaufman is to be plauded for his comments. He is obviously aware of the old adage which says that for evil to flourish all it takes is for a few good men to do nothing.
I count him as a good man.
It would seem that Mr. Kaufman believes the Labour Party is not under undue Jewish influence.
