Gilles-William Goldnadel: "By appearing with Jeremy Corbyn, the far left is flirting with anti-Semitism"

Gilles-William Goldnadel is a lawyer and essayist.

Every week, he deciphers the news for FigaroVox.

Thus, Jeremy Corbyn, former deposed leader of Labour, appeared with the Nupes candidates Danielle Simonet and Danielle Obono without triggering the slightest political or media reaction.

The evidence of Mr. Corbyn's anti-Semitism is however so numerous and documented that he was banned from his party.

In an article published on December 2, 2019, and titled naively in the imperfect:

, I recalled only a few of the above-mentioned achievements.

The JDD had fortunately preceded me.

This is how the guest of the two members of LFI took up the defense of an anti-Semitic caricature in the best taste, depicting a repulsive Jew with a nasal appendage as hooked as it was protuberant.

In March 2018, Jeremy Corbyn had to apologize for his support on Facebook for a mural with measured judeophilia.

This fresco soberly titled "freedom for humanity" showed a group of bankers, including some stereotypical Jews busy counting their money in a manner of Monopoly.

Again, Corbyn, sheepish but not stubborn, had to confess the anti-Semitic character of the fresco he celebrated.

In August 2018, the LFI comrade was again admonished for having curiously argued that

.

Most British Jews, probably having as little humor as irony, saw in it a somewhat crude use of the term "Zionist" to stigmatize them.

Apart from this traditional anti-Semitism, we find in this man this pathological detestation of the Jewish state and, symmetrically, his affection for the Islamists who are enemies of it, such as we find in his French hosts on the other side of the Channel.

The political impunity enjoyed by the far left is mainly explained by its media complicity due to ideological osmosis.

In 2016, Corbyn must have (decidedly) regretted calling the terrorist and anti-Semitic groups Hamas and Hezbollah “friends”.

He also had to admit having attended meetings of a group founded by Holocaust denier Paul Eisen and having tried to intervene to prevent the closure of the account of the very Islamist mosque in Finsbury Park.

I will end my list by recalling that if Jeremy Corbyn refused to visit Yad Vashem, he wanted to honor in Tunis the memory of the perpetrators of the massacre of Israeli athletes in Munich.

I therefore come, my proofs once again provided, to the very heart of my subject, which unfortunately turns into a litany: the impunity of the anti-Semitic extreme left, which has as its corollary only suspicion, most often unjustified, which overwhelms the very right.

I have already recalled here Mr. Mélenchon's support for Mr. Corbyn and the explanation of his friend's defeat resentfully rejected on the back of the Chief Rabbi of England.

As for one of the English deputy's hostesses, Madame Obono, she must not have been too frightened, she who weaved anti-racist laurels to Houria Bouteldja, an avowed indigenous anti-Semite.

I could be indignant, if I still had the capacity, of this media impunity.

A fortiori coming from a press not stingy with anti-racist sermons.

It is true with invariable geometry.

But why, moreover, should I feign astonishment, I who denounced in his time an editorial of

taking sides in favor of Corbyn against the "populist" Johnson?

The newspaper said nothing about the anti-Semitism of the first, but only evoked the testimonies overwhelming the conjugal temperament of the second.

The sad reality is that the political impunity enjoyed by the far left, and which largely transcends the anti-Semitic question, is mainly explained by its media complicity due to ideological osmosis.
