Dalyell faces race probe over ‘Jewish cabal’ claim
TAM Dalyell, the country's longest-serving MP, was facing a race hatred investigation last night over a controversial reference to a "cabal of Jewish advisers" unduly influencing Tony Blair.
The Labour MP for Linlithgow, who has vehemently and consistently denied any charge of anti-Semitism, has been reported to the Commission for Racial Equality by Professor Eric Moonman, president of the Zionist Federation, who said he would "not exclude" taking Mr Dalyell to court.
"He has made dangerous remarks. If he said these things about gays and blacks, there would be a mighty uproar," said Mr Moonman.
He confirmed his complaint to the commission was submitted last week, after he failed to get a response directly from Mr Dalyell after criticising the MP's remarks.
Mr Moonman said the back bencher had "caused some considerable disquiet" by his words, which could be "manipulated" by extreme right-wing groups.
The move could involve Mr Dalyell being called before commission chiefs to explain his remarks.
A commission spokeswoman yesterday confirmed a submission from Mr Moonman was being considered.
Last night, Mr Dalyell told The Herald: "I'm astonished. I'll have to see what happens."

Racism?

Therefore, since I find racism deplorable and have fought against it all my life, making it my personal crusade, I must defend myself from the slur of ‘race-hate.’ I hate injustice and always side with the underdog, which I happen to see as the black race, not Jews.
Since the arrival of Western powers in Africa, black history has been an ongoing holocaust, culminating in the genocide of ten million Congolese at the turn of the last century and now in the 21st century, the Congo is still a killing field.
Yet, we are reminded of only one holocaust, a grim episode in Nazi Germany, when Jews were victimised, but this tragedy is not unique or exceptional, in comparison to the decimation of American Indians for example.
For the “persecuted” people, Jews are wielding an extraordinary amount of power and influence. The richest individuals on Earth are Jewish and in a position to elevate their own race and its interests.
Unlike blacks, who are still feared and despised by many, Jews are well integrated into US and European communities. They do not face discrimination in jobs, housing or education. They are not confined to ghettos and ‘projects.’
All of the gold and diamonds procured from Africa by slavery, is now concentrated in the hands of one family, the House of Rothschild, German Jews... So who is persecuting who?

Racism is about taring a whole group of people with the same brush i'm jewish and i get very annoyed and rather upset that so many supposidley "left" people on this site can't see how F-ing small minded they're being
The whole super sensitivity of the holocaust does get on my tits aswell especially cause i lost half my family becuase of it and i hate it being used as an excuse by zionists for whats going on in palestine
"those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat its mistakes"
In future can people please refrain from from using the Jew on this site and replace it with Zionist.
its a bad a me saying all black people are genocidal cause of whats going on in africa at the moment
No platform for stupid people who cant tell their arse form their elbow!!!!!
Fuck Israel the land flowing with blood and misery
Fuck the PLO and the rest of palestinian bourgeois who seek to cream as much from the situation as they can
Fuck Sharon and the rest of the murdering biggots who's hands are soaked in the blood of my brothers and sisters (palestinian and israeli)
