Jeremy Corbyn, Israel And Anti-Semitism By Dave Rich Biteback Publishing, £12.99
If you had said a year ago that a book entitled The Left’s Jewish Problem would be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand modern British politics you might have been dismissed as mad. Labour’s previous leader Ed Miliband was Jewish and Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were both philo-Semites.
However the picture is very different today. It may seem almost inconceivable that in 2016 we still have to think about anti-Semitism as a significant issue, let alone among supposedly educated and progressive people. Yet that is exactly where we now stand.The election last September of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader has coincided with a torrent of anti-Semitism being exposed among Labour members and supporters – whether it is Ken Livingstone talking repeatedly about Hitler as a proto-Zionist or Momentum-steering committee member Jackie Walker claiming that Jews were behind the slave trade.
Jeremy Corbyn might say he hates all forms of racism but his actions – or rather inactions – show he either doesn’t care at all about anti-Semitism or at least he doesn’t care enough to do anything serious about it.
As the Home Affairs Select Committee’s recent report put it, he has “created what some have referred to as a ‘safe space’ for those with vile attitudes towards Jewish people”.
It’s this context that makes Dave Rich’s book so important. He shows how the Left’s problem with Jews, often couched as a problem with Israel, goes back decades. For most of that time the Corbynite wing of the party was an irrelevance so its poisonous mindset was equally irrelevant.
But with Corbyn’s rise to the leadership its attitudes were suddenly central to the outlook of the official opposition. Rich’s fine new book stands alongside Nick Cohen’s What’s Left? as two essential tools to understanding the modern Left. It is no criticism of either to say they are equally depressing.
VERDICT: 5/5STEPHEN POLLARD Stephen Pollard is editor of the Jewish Chronicle
Apologies for the space between posts. I've carefully scanned in vital declassified UK general survival manuals which may be of use to city evacuees not only in Syria and Africa, but also closer to home, when President Clinton does what she did as Secretary of State under President Obama. The Nevada testing archive has kindly scanned in and sent me a massive document on the technical details of the highly clean nuclear tests (15% fission Zuni, 5% fission Navajo) of Operation Redwing in 1956, including new details of the capture to fission ratios and other measurements, which soon dominated the Eisenhower-Stevenson Presidential argument.

10 hour doses corrected to land from dirty (87% fission) 5 megaton TEWA. Hotspot under mushroom cloud stem is 2500 R or 2500 cGy, lethal. However, a concrete building with a protective factor of 40 will reduce that to 2500/40= 62.5 R = 0.625 Gy, which causes no deaths. In nuclear city air burst Hiroshima (6 August 1945), for 3963 people with 0.5-1 Gy, there were a total of 30 leukemia deaths up to the year 2000, 55 years after exposure, which is about a 1% risk including natural leukemias (Source: REFF, http://www.rerf.jp/radefx/late_e/leukemia.html which adds: "As of the year 2000, there were 204 leukemia deaths among 49,204 LSS survivors with a bone marrow dose of at least 0.005 Gy, an excess of 94 cases (46%) attributable to A-bomb radiation (Table)." Note: 204 out of 49,204 is 0.41%.) Now consider a clean bomb, ZUNI (15% fission, 3.53 megatons total yield, mainly fusion):
Even if you are in a jet airliner encountering the ZUNI mushroom cloud at 60,000 feet, 7 minutes after the explosion, there is data on the radiation level you get, because America fired radiation meters with radio transmitter telemetry in rockets through the mushroom cloud at 7 and 15 minutes after the burst (aircraft only entered later, to reduce the radiation dose to human crew during the tests): |
I'll blog about the details in that document in the next post. (Note, however, that it is the fallout patterns source cited by Terry Triffet and Philip D. LaRiviere in their monumental 1961 dated report WT-1317, Characterization of Fallout, as well as Triffet's June 1959 congressional testimony. Note that Triffet was there at Bikini in 1956, doing the measurements. Also, note that the alternative, disjointed fallout maps in the compilation DASA-1251 come merely from the ocean survey data in WT-1316, and do not reconcile all sources of fallout data into a consistent whole.)
Now, warmongering.
Even good news is bad news for Don Triumph so we need to prepare for the beautiful warmonger instead of billionaire businessman. See: :-)http://www.politico.com/…/us-economy-2016-third-quarter-tru… Again, a brief summary of Hillary's trigger-happy "defence" policy by an Irish correspondent:
