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.
