CIFwatch loons

CIFwatch = bunch of crazy Zionists who spend 100% of their time monitoring the Guardian for perceived "antisemitism", which is to say any article of comment which fails to toe their acceptable line of craven acquiescence to every sentence of Israeli government propaganda. Here, for example, someone in an interview makes the scarcely novel observation that the British media are overwhelmingly biased in favour of Israel and that therefore their owners might have a pro-Israel agenda. Well, apparently this is a Jewish conspiracy theory and antisemitic.

All the commenters pointing out that it's no such thing are of course automatically racists by definition. QED. You couldn't make these CIFWatch people up. (But who would wish to?)

Actually I'm amazed they didn't start shrieking at the very idea that the BBC has a pro-Israeli agenda. When I said as much on Kesher Talk one time I was told it demonstrated that I was a communist antisemite.

Uncle Jimmy liked their post on Michael Mansfield so much he cut and pasted the whole thing. (Well, as we have seen, the only thing he likes more than demanding journalists be imprisoned without trial is encouraging his readers to kill human rights lawyers.)

You have to love their consistent wackiness though. Here are a few translations from Zioloonspeak into English:

"the Guardian has provided a platform for supporters of a terrorist organisation proscribed under British law."
equals
"the Guardian publishes articles by people who are aware that Hamas is the democratically elected government of Palestine * "

(* Elected in both parts but deposed by military force in the West Bank prior to the installaion of an Israel/US-backed puppet regime).

"Mansfield’s apparent blind spot when it comes to the civil rights of the citizens of Israel – in particular, the right not to be blown up – is adequately illustrated by his statements against the anti-terrorist fence."
equals
"Mansfield quotes the undisputed facts that there have been a number of UN resolutions concerning the Israeli occupation and that the ICJ in the Hague has declared the *separation wall illegal under international law."

(*If it is designed to prevent access to Israel by terrorists why is it miles outside Israeli territory?)

"No surprises there then; after all Mansfield has a record of acting for the Palestinians involved in the 1994 bombing of the Israeli embassy in London in which 20 people were injured, of defending Tahira Tabassum, the widow of the ‘Mike’s Place’ British suicide bomber Omar Sharif and of acting for the families of Tom Hurndall and James Miller against Israel."
equals
"We loathe the very thought that people we consider terrorists should have fair trials with lawyers and everything; we hate the idea that the government should be criticised for locking up the innocent relatives of terrorists in revenge for being unable to catch the terrorists themselves; and we consider it despicable that the families of civilians murdered by Israeli soldiers should be permitted to investigate their murders. What part of 'Israeli actions may not be judged by the same standards applied to other countries' does this guy not get? Applying the same standards to Israel that we apply to other countries is clearly antisemitic. As is applying different standards. Look, why don't you stop investigating Israeli actions at all?"

".....other such ‘objective’ figures as Mairead Corrigan Maguire"
equals
"Clearly a Nobel Peace Prize winner is going to favour peace over war, which is obvious antisemitic prejudice."

" ....the lawfare campaign against Israel"
equals
"Compliance with laws is for lesser nations, not Israel. Any suggestion that any Israeli action, ever, was not absolutely legal, justified, and a restrained response to murderous terror attacks is antisemitism."

"Let’s hope that Britain’s new leaders will work to rectify this situation because the fashionable casual acceptance of support for terrorist organisations is something which is bound to have detrimental effects at home as well as abroad. What a pity that the editors of a supposedly libertarian newspaper have not caught onto that fact either and instead allow the promotion of campaigns by the mouthpieces of holders of opinions and principles which are directly contrary to all that modern Western society stands for."
equals
"Toe the line, Guardian, or now our pals like William Hague and Michael Gove are in power we'll have you closed down along with all the other non-compliant press. After all, that's the sole reason for our existence."
