Janine Roberts: Zionist Jews Finance The Labour Party

The Occidental Observer

Janine Roberts’ article on the influence of the Israel Lobby in British politics is by far the most thorough and comprehensive analysis on this topic we have seen. While the role of the Israel Lobby in the United States has been very well described, most notably in John Mearsheimer and Steven Walt’s The Israel Lobby, the equally powerful role of Israel and its supporters in England has received only sporadic attention. Due its length, the article may be daunting to some, and in the following we present excerpts designed to illustrate some of the more important points.

The most important point is that Roberts shows that under Tony Blair the Labour Party eschewed its traditional funding base in the unions in favor of obtaining money from wealthy Jews intent on influencing policy toward Israel.

One wonders if the Labour Party’s promotion of massive non-white immigration and multiculturalism also reflects the interests of its financial backers. It is well known that the Jewish community in England has been a staunch supporter of massive non-white immigration.

At the same time, the transformations unleashed by immigration are most keenly felt by Labour’s traditional white working class constituency. As noted by Daily Telegraph columnist Alasdair Palmer: “Why is Labour, which is supposed to be the party of Britain’s least privileged workers, following a policy that disadvantages them further?”

Of course, it may be because the immigrants support the Labour Party, as Palmer suggests. But all that Jewish money and no need to court the unions for financial backing certainly suggest another explanation.

It goes without saying that a similar situation has developed in the US where the role of Jewish money in financing the Democratic Party is legendary and where the Democratic Party has become the party not of the white working class its traditional base — but of the pro-immigration, multi-cultural left while nevertheless maintaining a strong pro-Israel stance.
