Zionists and EDL Unite for counter-demo at Ahava

ISM London | 14.08.2010 20:11 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Palestine | World

In celebration of the recent court victory which saw four campaigners acquitted for blockading the Ahava shop in Covent Garden during 2009, approximately 60 protestors gathered outside its doors in Monmouth Street, central London, to celebrate and continue promoting boycott, divestment and sanctions against the Israeli occupation. While demonstrators were met by the usual Zionist counter-demonstrators, on this occasion they arrived flanked by the openly racist English Defence League.[video]



The cosmetics retailer and spa Ahava manufactures it’s products on the illegal Israeli settlement of Mitzpe Shalem. It has openly flouted tax requirements by exploiting the EU-Israel trade agreement and violates UK DEFRA guidelines in respect of proper labelling. The campaign against Ahava supports the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions as a global nonviolent means to challenge the Israeli Occupation of Palestine and the ongoing siege upon Gaza.

At the outset the small group of around ten EDL members remained close to the Zionist contingent of Ahava supporters, handing out leaflets. Over the course of the demonstration they began to take an increasingly prominent role, culminating with an unravelling of a flag of St. George and chanting “E-E-EDL.” This was accompanied by racist remarks towards a number of Ahava protestors who were of Asian/Middle Eastern descent. What was more surprising was the absolute lack of distancing from the EDL by the Zionist contingent.

Vice chair of the Zionist Federation of Britain Jonathan Hoffman was present and took no action to ensure the two groups were not affiliated. This comes only days after a recent report in the Israeli paper Haaretz claiming that the Board of Deputies of British Jews were not affiliated with the EDL and did not want anything to do with them. The stark contrast between the formal statement and the reality in front of the Ahava shop, in which senior members of the ZF stood along side EDL members undercuts any public statements and shows Zionists hold a racist agenda.

The EDL’s history of far right opinions and racist chanting and abuse — as well as their violence and hatred towards Muslim communities — have earned them the fascist label. Jewish groups have long since been targeted by rightwing fascist groups, so to see the two groups united against Palestinians illustrates that as far as the Zionist Federation is concerned, the enemy of one's enemy may become an ally no matter what they stand for. That they were welcomed by the Zionists may be shocking to some, but could also be reflective of their desperation for support in the UK.

This is not the first instance of the two groups coming together in support of each other; In the immediate aftermath of the brutal attack on the Mavi Marra flotilla by Israeli commandos in which nine human rights activists were murdered, the EDL joined up with Zionists outside the Israeli embassy in Knightsbridge to show support for the Israeli state’s violent actions.[Video] In addition, the EDL marched to Downing Street two weeks ago with Israeli flags being held alongside British and St. George flags.

Despite their presence and the racist slurs they shouted at members of the Ahava demonstration, the protest went without violence. The verbal abuse hurled by EDL members and their Zionist partners were met with a series of police cautions. Numerous members of the public stopped to chat with Palestinian solidarity activists and showed support. A small brass band played music to entertain the masses and build a celebratory spirit as many people chanted for justice and for an end to the sale of Israeli and Settlement produce.

Not true, Zionists don't want anything to do with fascists

15.08.2010 01:24

Quite a few of us Zionists voiced our objection to the EDL members and asked them to leave. Of course, that was futile - they wish to use Israel as a means to gain publicity and were not going anywhere soon. I was nearly arrested for using foul language to the EDL members and telling them what I thought of them in no uncertain terms. The police told me that we could do nothing to stop them from standing with us.

As a result of the EDL presence (which was not clear from the outset), a number of us decided not to continue for the day and left. The others who remained, told us that while they agreed with our feelings about the EDL, we were making the wrong decision. This, because we still needed to stand up for the truth, and could not prevent the EDL from standing there.

And the truth you stand up for is murderous occupation and racial oppression.

Try this one:

"I was born and bred as a nazi. Got a problem with that? Then you got a problem with me because of my background. Thats akin to racism and is certainly discriminatory."

The fact that you were raised as a follower of a racist ideology does not make it alright and mean you should be left to oppress forever. There were a number of people of Jewish descent in the non-EDL pen, so its clear that it isn't anything to do with being Jewish - its a choice you make - if you use sites like this, then you have access to all the arguments against the racist ideology.

Now try this one:

"The sooner the bantustans are sorted out the better, but at the moment you don't even know what it is like to be from South Africa"

That was a common cry of racist white South Africans during the apartheid era. It turned out that everyone except them understood what was going on.

"We are constantly targeted by weapons whilst you sit drinking your lattes and dressing like palestinians."

The average Israeli lives their lives with a neglible level of risk compared to the Palestinians who are subjected to regular incursions in the West Bank, and air and weapons attacks in Gaza.

A comparison of the death rates will bear this out.

eg: Deaths of children since 2000 as a result of the conflict:

Israelis: 124
Palestinians: 1446

We are not racist. We had a ceasefire in place and Hamas continued to try to kill us. Something had to give at some point. We can't just sit there and let them bomb us.

Our forces could kill a lot more people if they wanted to - but we choose not too. Palestine kills as many of us as they are able to. THe lack in numbers is only due to lack of ability not of willpower.
All these figures show is that when it comes to a fight - we are more likely to be the ones walking away from it. I dont see why this should be frowned on. Believe me, if many Palestines had the capability and weaponary at their disposal, then our deathrate would be much, much higher.

And no, nobody has a problem with you being Jewish, its the ideaology you chose to follow (zionism) that is shit. I know dozens and dozens of great Jews that are against fucking Israeli occupation and I have utmost respect for groups like Anarchists Against the Wall and B'tselem- oh yeah, but you think that they are traitors.. Now fuck off and go somewhere else, reading your brainwashed bla blah balh is really boring.

Not exactly

15.08.2010 18:00

"in which senior members of the ZF stood along side EDL members undercuts any public statements and shows Zionists hold a racist agenda"

Apparently your argument being that the "Zionists" not choosing to FIGHT with the EDL means that they are racist.

Confusing the situation. The "Zionists" have THEIR reasons for counterdemonstrating at Ahava. Who knows why the EDL folks have chosen to be there. Is there perhaps a great deal of overlap between those of you protesting at Ahava and those of you attacking the EDL "because they are fascists"?

You need to consider very carefully WHY you would expect the "Zionists" to do other than mildly object to the EDLers. In other words, why you expect them to be so foolish as to pick fights unrelated to their primary interest in the matter (Israel). Just because you choose to get into fights unrelated to your primary anti-right, anti-capitalist interest doesn't mean everybody else has to.

Understand what I am saying? If you weren't attacking the "Zionists" they would possibly (likely?) be your allies against fascists. I agree with those of you that likely a rising fascist movement COULD turn on the "Zionists". In which event they will have to fight both of you. But AT THE MOMENT you're against them and the EDL aren't so sensible for them to ignore the EDL and concetrate on countrposing against you.

The Zionist Federation Shows Its True Colours

16.08.2010 02:59

Only weeks after Jonathan Hoffman, co-chair of the Zionist Federation, threatened to call in the lawyers because I had stated that the ZF had co-organised a demonstration with the EDL in support of the murder of 9 human rights activists on the Mavi Marmara, we now have definite proof that the Zionist Federation and the EDL are working hand in glove.

Have a look at my post on the demonstration. It is clear that Hoffman is not unhappy, to say the least, with his association with Roberta Moore of the EDL's Jewish Division. And I'm happy too that the political logic that is common to the bigots, racists and Islamaphobes of the EDL/ZF has finally come out in a joint demonstration together.

No doubt we will hear some torturous explanation of why the EDL isn't anti-Semitic because it's pro-Israeli. Just as John Hagee President of the Souther Baptist Convention has been exonerated of anti-Semitism for saying that Hitler was god's divine messenger, sent to return Jews to Israel (in coffins if necessary) so it should be of little surprise that Zionists and anti-Semites have, once again, joined hands.

It also explains why I and the late Steven Cohen waged a war to ensure that Indymedia didn't post the anti-semitic crap of Gilad Atzmon. Our side should always be clean.

Enjoy.

better explanation

16.08.2010 22:33

Elizabeth,
Hey, I'm all for that aswell!

Sorry for confusion:
a. Fewer Muslims would mean less protests and resultant policing.
b. Less incentives for organisations like the EDL, MDL etc to exist
c. Less friction between racists both sides on the fence
d. Less support for the BNP

I know its not the PC thing to say, but unless you can argue than fewer Muslims would mean more trouble, I can't see where I'm wrong. Sorry if it is not PC, I'm just observing it from an analytical viewpoint. Probably not much use, but still interesting.

not surprising

17.08.2010 18:19

It's not at all surprising that the EDL are Zionist racists who work for Mossad. They have also been shown to work for the CIA as well.

the only surprising thing is the ones who don't mind being called that way have overcome their coyness to stand shoulder to shoulder with jews, possibly even non-english jews (albeit jews who will come out on the street to defend a fascist policy).
