When the controversy over Mear One\u2019s mural in London\u2019s East End first surfaced in the news in 2012 \u2014 long before Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour party \u2014 the debate about whether or not it could be construed as anti-semitic, and whether or not censorship was an appropriate action for the authorities to take, was a relatively open one. Respected publications such as the English-language Israel daily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/jewish\/.premium-in-u-k-anti-semitism-on-the-wall-1.5192777\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/jewish\/.premium-in-u-k-anti-semitism-on-the-wall-1.5192777\"><em>Haaretz<\/em>,<\/a> and even the <em>Daily Mail <\/em>were far from unequivocal in their coverage, acknowledging the contesting views of both local residents and others. Some, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibtimes.co.uk\/mere-one-mural-east-london-politics-antisemitism-392209\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.ibtimes.co.uk\/mere-one-mural-east-london-politics-antisemitism-392209\"><em>International Business Times<\/em><\/a> even ran comment pieces by those who did not believe the mural was anti-semitic. This was the context in which Corbyn made a comment on Facebook \u2014 not in any way defending or endorsing the mural as has widely been reported \u2014 but simply questioning whether censorship was the right thing to do. In the end, the decision taken by local authorities was not based on a conviction that the mural <em>was <\/em>anti-semitic, but rather that it <em>might <\/em>be, or at least the perception of some Jews that it was anti-semitic was considered sufficient justification for it to be forcibly removed.&#8221;\u00a0 \u2014 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk\/jewish-establishment\/a-time-to-speak-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Justin Schlosberg<\/a>\u00a0 (Jewish Voice for Labour, 30 April 2018)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">====<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;<strong>It is <em>not<\/em> anti-Semitic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thegreatcritique.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/07\/the-paradox-of-zionism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I <em>am<\/em> a Jew<\/a>, and I have experienced the sharp end of <em>real <\/em>anti-Semitism first hand.

(And be careful \u2013 if you see a picture of rich men with large noses and your immediate assumption is \u201cJews!!!!\u201d that may say more about your own prejudices than it says about the artist\u2019s.)&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0 <span class=\"editor-author__name\">Martin Odoni\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/guerillawire.org\/politics\/oh-all-right-lets-talk-about-that-mural-then\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26 March 2018<\/a>) <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">====<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;The knife of choice for the Labour backstabbers this time is a mural<\/h3>\n<p>After a short reprieve following Jeremy Corbyn\u2019s unexpected success in Britain\u2019s general election last year, when he only narrowly lost the popular vote, most of the Labour parliamentary party are back, determined to bring him down. And once again, they are being joined by the corporate media in full battle cry. Last week, Corbyn was a Soviet spy. This week we\u2019re in more familiar territory, even if it has a new twist: Corbyn is not only a friend to anti-semites, it seems, but now he has been outed as a closet one himself. In short, the Blairites in the parliamentary party are stepping up their game. Corbyn\u2019s social justice agenda, his repudiation of neoconservative wars of aggression masquerading as \u201chumanitarianism\u201d \u2013 lining the coffers of the west\u2019s military-industrial elites \u2013 is a genuine threat to those who run our societies from the shadows.

It was so blatant what she was doing, it astounds me how few people have picked up on it. She put up a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lucianaberger\/status\/977183210051338241\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet<\/a> with a screenshot of Jeremy Corbyn questioning on social media way back in 2012 the removal of the Brick Lane Mural, and claimed that she had demanded an explanation from the Leader\u2019s office earlier that day. Not long after, she put up another <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lucianaberger\/status\/977232473254977536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet<\/a> complaining that the response of the \u2018spokesperson\u2019 from the Leader\u2019s office was not good enough. She did not state what the response was, or what was wrong with it. What is clear is that she had not offered much time for a response.<\/p>\n<p>Why did Berger feel the need to announce this on social media? Why did she not make a full attempt to discuss it with Corbyn in private first? Why did she not at least give Corbyn time to look into it and refresh his memory? Why did she feel that this was important at all, given six years had passed since the mural had been painted over? Why did she feel it was important, given that, despite the clamour, the mural was <em>not<\/em> anti-Semitic in its content? Why did she have to announce it then, and not three years earlier when the matter had previously been raised in the media? Why did she have to choose a moment that was sure to de-rail a Local Election campaign?<\/p>\n<p>The answer to all of these questions is the same, and it is obvious. She and her right-wing colleagues are trying to get rid of Corbyn any way they can, and they find the nearest they have to an effective weapon against him is supposed \u2018anti-Semitism\u2019 among his supporters. And as the Angry Yorkshireman <a href=\"http:\/\/anotherangryvoice.blogspot.co.uk\/2018\/03\/why-every-single-labour-member-should.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">points out<\/a>, the Blairites and their allies had little choice but to side with the left during the General Election a year ago, because their own seats in the House of Commons were at stake. But they are perfectly happy to sacrifice local councillors and the hard work of grass-roots activists up and down the UK, in order to create a Local Elections disaster, for which Corbyn can then take the blame.&#8221;\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0 <span class=\"editor-author__name\">Martin Odoni<\/span> (<a href=\"https:\/\/thegreatcritique.wordpress.com\/2018\/04\/28\/the-crocodile-tears-on-the-labour-right-about-racism-should-fool-no-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">28 April 2018<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">====<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Understanding the Conspiracy of MuralGate<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;In January 2017 Al Jazeera released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2017\/01\/lobby-episode-1-young-friends-israel-170115035405450.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Lobby<\/a> which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2017\/01\/lobby-episode-2-training-session-170112085805744.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explosive<\/a> enough to be splashed on the front pages of the mainstream press.

When it is good it is very good. When it is ignorant it is unfortunate, but use it with care and it is helpful, if fatally flawed.

The mural is the best example.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Freedom of Expression \/ Mear One (2012) On 2 October 2012 the artist Mear One \/ Kalen Ockerman posted&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.edlis.org\/criticalthinking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/346"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.edlis.org\/criticalthinking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.edlis.org\/criticalthinking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.edlis.org\/criticalthinking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.edlis.org\/criticalthinking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346"}],"version-history":[{"count":167,"href":"http:\/\/www.edlis.org\/criticalthinking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":643,"href":"http:\/\/www.edlis.org\/criticalthinking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/346\/revisions\/643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.edlis.org\/criticalthinking\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
