Right-wing newspaper identfies hidden hand of Zion shock

How the Telegraph spotted the international Zionist conspiracy at the heart of Labour's funding crisis.

Surely the most bizarre report on Labour's hidden donations came from the Telegraph on Thursday in its lead headlined: "Hunt for 'mystery benefactor' in Labour's illegal donations scandal".

The front-page piece began: ""Fears are growing within the party that David Abrahams, who hid his identity by using four intermediaries, may himself have been a conduit for another mystery benefactor, after senior Labour figures questioned his personal wealth."

I stupidly thought the paper must have some evidence of a real donor behind Abrahams and so was rather disappointed by the story, which merely suggested that Abrahams probably didn't have enough money to support the kind of donations he was giving. But I hadn't connected the story with the massive photo of Abrahams with the Israeli ambassador. The 'mystery benefactor' turns out to be our old friend, global Zion.

I'm not going to link to any of the many blogs that have been touting this vicious nonsense, but I will name the repellent MPACUK -- a British Islamist website -- as one of the worst, so take a look if you want to be appalled by how readily some will still turn to anti-Semitism as a default postion.

It's amazing isn't it? In the case of the craziest 9/11 theory, the Jews conspired to get themselves out of trouble; in this bonkers plot they appear to have conspired to get themselves into trouble.

I think that 'Planet Zion' is about to explode with horrendous consequences for the globe.

“Yes... meaning..?”

Sorry, my mistake! I meant to say that ‘Global Zion’ is about to explode - sending an enraptured Dubbya up to the ‘Planet Zion’ (aka Mars) along with all the little alien neo-converts (aka former Zionists).

PS. Pity the Martians under occupation.

Sorry, I'm no more enlightened. Please spell it out in English.

“Sorry, I'm no more enlightened …”

… and not a rapturous Christian, neither … I presume. Are you perchance a practitioner of the faith of Judaism?

PS. I remain a devout atheist and liberal secular fundamentalist, rabidly intolerant of religious nonsense ... and all religious subterfuge, hypocrisies and insincerities.

PPS. I keep taking the tablets even though they don’t work.

No, I'm a fundamentalist secularist myself. I simply had no idea what you were talking about and still don't.

“I'm a fundamentalist secularist myself. I simply had no idea what you were talking about and still don't.”

Sadly, you secularist fundamentalists appear to lack an apocalyptic imagination … for what the Christian Zionists have in store for the Jews … after the Second Coming … and the final judgement …

PS. I believe the Zionist dream will be the global nightmare.

"That was a part of my life I won't get back."

Whatever ... the facts of your misspent life, I predict your future will be blighted by a toxic mix of blood, oil and high octane Zionists, Jews and Christians.

Kirkpatric, Woolsey, Michael Novak, Linda Chavez, William J. Bennett, Bolton, Christopher DeMuth, and Gary Schmitt--are all of pure neo-conservative pedigree. I take it they're about to explode or something? Or are they OK --because they're not Jews?

Incidentally, are Jews who are anything but neo-conservatives (Tony Judt, Noam Chomsky, etc.) OK? Or are they too going to explode? I ask because actually Jews make up a minuscule portion of the neo-conservatives (not suprising as Jews are overwhelmingly liberal and Democratic). This means that the vast majority of neo-cons are Gentiles who may or may not pay any more attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than they do to (say) Darfur. And yet, when people talk of neo-cons they usually add stuff like "Planet Zion". In short the term "neo-con" of today is what the term "global bankers" was in the 1930s--a codeword for Jews used by anti-semites.

@innatysoe

If one can't criticise them all, then one shouldn't criticise them at all. Is that what you are saying? Are you accusing me of being an anti-Semite?

“Kirkpatric, Woolsey, Michael Novak, Linda Chavez, William J. Bennett, Bolton, Christopher DeMuth, and Gary Schmitt--are all of pure neo-conservative pedigree.”

I note the delightful Madeleine Albright did not appear in your august line up of neo-cons. Liberal, Democrat and every inch the gangsters moll – but was she a neo-con from the planet Zion or the planet Zog?

"'Global Zion' is about to explode"; "Are you perchance a practitioner of the faith of Judaism?"

If anyone's hinting that you're antisemitic, Cybertiger, it would be you.

Whatever. Whatever hints suit your purpose. Yawn!

"I note the delightful Madeleine Albright did not appear in your august line up of neo-cons. "

Well, no the secretary of state under President Bill Clinton, principal of the Albright Group LLC and chairman of the National Democratic Institute somehow did not make the neo-con list. I guess that's because while she is Jewish she is anything but a neo-con.

"I guess that's because while she is Jewish she is anything but a neo-con."

Albright was certainly bone-headed enough to be a neo-con but I thought she was a Roman Catholic who later defected to the Episcopal Church in the USA.
