Isn’t it quite sad this is the 15th most shocking thing a Tory has done this week… and thanks to reform, the 37th most racist.
After seeing candidates saying “blacks had low IQs”, calling for forced deportation of all Muslims and many many more examples, old fashioned antisemitism just seems blasé now 🙁
Anti semitism is rife in the Tory party, always has been.
Numerous councillors and party officials have been suspended for antisemitism.
But this is rarely reported in the media.
“Tory councillor Atiqul Hoque expelled for alleged antisemitic comments
14 February 2024”
“Conservative councillors in Oliver Dowden’s constituency have been disciplined for a “hate” campaign against a Jewish Labour candidate, according to an independent investigation commissioned by Tory” 2022
“Expelled Tory mayor ‘said Jews were responsible for Jesus’s death” 2024
“Andy Weatherhead, Conservative councillor for Hythe West on Kent County Council, was suspended from the Party “wrote an antisemitic blog attacking the ‘Jewish-controlled, helped to formulate the avowedly fascist and anti-democracy policies”
There are dozens more.
…. a day in the week with a Y in it and there’s a Tory apologising for being a dick.
Is the chief rabbi calling for the faithful not to vote Tory like he did for Corbyn’s Labour?
>”AI has safeguards to prevent the creation of offensive images, but on this occasion, it fell short and I shall be extra vigilant going forward. I apologise wholeheartedly for any offence caused by this image.”
Blaming the AI for allowing him to create an antisemitic image, which he then chose to share on social media. That has to be up there as one of the worst excuses in history.
I don’t see anything antisemitic with this cartoon to be honest, it’s a massive stretch.
