(Jewish Group) Jackie Walker posts bizarre 'racial hierarchy' rant on Facebook

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Jackie Walker, the suspended Labour activist, has posted a 20-minute speech on her Facebook page in which she claims Jews are given privileged treatment over other minority groups in British society in what she describes as a “hierarchy of race”.

Ms Walker also attacks Momentum founder Jon Lansman, who is Jewish, accusing him of ignoring issues such as the slave trade and for attempting to reach out to Jewish groups.

She also attacks people who attended last month’s Enough Is Enough demonstration against antisemitism in Labour as “absolute enemies of Muslims, enemies of people of colour, enemies of our tolerant society."

In the online posting – titled “Reflections on the last week of nonsense on antisemitism and the Labour Party” – Ms Walker says: “When people tell you there is no hierarchy of race you need to know those are the people who want things to stay exactly as they are.

A Muslim group responds....

Jackie Walker, if People Attending the Anti-Semitism Rally Are Anti-Muslim, What About Us?

So, we have to ask, does Jackie Walker think that we are enemies of a tolerant society? Are we absolute enemies of Muslims when we have been working for over 6 years tackling anti-Muslim hate, instead of speaking to Facebook about challenging anti-Muslim hate, rather than challenging hate. Finally, many of the staff in Tell MAMA are people of colour and so how divisive is her language?

We also take umbrage with the assertion that those who attended the rally are the enemies of Muslims, as though people who stand against anti-Semitism, must be anti-Muslim. This is toxic talk and we have had people approach us with this ‘them and us’ world view. It has not been easy to differentiate, particularly early on in our work, though we have learnt that not everyone approaching us has positive social action in their minds. There are some who seek to ‘help Muslims’ with other objectives in mind. We don’t need their help as we do not need people like Jackie Walker speaking on behalf of Muslims.

1. The idea that acceptance of the Jewish people is proof of anti-Muslimism is mind boggling...

as is the opposite. My observation is that most who admit their antisemitism also hate Muslims. They are purely anti-other. They are foolish and their lives are poorer for it.
