‘No further action’, party tells horrified Muslim victim
Labour’s hard-right disciplinary panel of its national executive committee (NEC) has whitewashed a Muslim woman’s complaint against a male right-winger who called her a ‘Hamas supporter’ for opposing Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Labour’s Islamophobia under the Keir Starmer regime.
The Bristol-based Starmeroid member, whose name is temporarily blurred out pending the opportunity to reach him for comment, attacked Jill Azzouzi after she posted a Facebook video showing Yocheved Lifshitz, an 85yo Israeli captive released three weeks after the Hamas raid last October, describing how well she and others had been treated by their Palestinian captors:
The right-winger launched a series of unpleasant replies at Ms Azzouzi in response, starting by dismissing the clear video evidence because of the source:
And when Ms Azzouzi continued to point out his fallacies, he described as as a ‘years’-long supporter of Hamas – and when another reader challenged him, suggested she did too:
The culprit’s comments led to him being accused by a Muslim woman respondent of ‘mocking dead babies and innocent Palestinian civilians’ and of holding a ‘racist dehumanising viewpoint’:
Understandably, the appalled Ms Azzouzi complained to the Labour party. After a period of apparent inaction, the party contacted her to inform her that ‘a Panel of the NEC’ had met to consider her complaint and decided no further action was needed:
Labour’s NEC, and particularly its usual disciplinary panel – chaired until recently by the hard-right Gurinder Singh Josan, who is now a Labour MP after being – has an appalling record when it comes to dealing with complaints against right-wing figures, even ignoring the legal advice of its own barrister to dismiss allegations of ‘serious sexual assault’ against a right-wing council leader (and now MP).
Josan personally welcomed back another notorious right-winger and Israel supporter, Lukey Stanger, who had been suspended for awful racist and bullying comments, while another well-known right-wing NEC member – yet another now given a safe seat as an MP by the Starmer regime – wrote Stanger’s defence against the various complaints against him.
Starmer’s party has been condemned for its anti-Muslim racism even by Labour’s own Labour Muslim Network. Labour lost half or more of its 2019 vote among Muslims and lost several MPs in July’s general election because of fury among voters at Keir Starmer’s support for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has killed as many as 200,000 Palestinian civilians so far. Israel-supporter and ex-MP Steve McCabe was caught on doorbell camera similarly calling an independent candidate a ‘Hamas supporter’ when a householder not wanting to vote for Starmer’s candidate. No action appears to have been taken against him.
Ms Azzouzi told Skwawkbox:
Imagine anyone saying something similar to a Jewish person and how different the reaction would have been. Seems it’s ok to call Muslims ‘Hamas’ and harass them, though.

The ANC and IRA were terrorist organisations
Thatcher wanted Mandela hung
The Pope had called the IDF a terrorist organisation
My Dad’s bigger than your Dad ffs
Meanwhile
Isn’t supporting hamas a crime in the UK? If so, then that’s an open-and-shut libel case.
And why has the accuser’s name been blurred out?
Oops, sent too early.
Meant to smash why the accuser’s names been blurred out, because no doubt the coward will refuse to comment or make some weasel excuse about how his mates have absolved him.
They might’ve done. I haven’t. Nor would I. It’s there in black & white.
A full explanation of his accusation should be forthcoming.
Should be. But it won’t be. Therefore he deserves no anonymity.
Sam is a coward. He wont reply. But Swawkbox have a responsibility to allow him that. I dont thou. ❤️
He/she is shy.
Go see the police. Causing anxiety is enough to get you arrested now, use their weapons against them
Quite correct, NVLA. My sentiments exactly.
I would also suggest to the accuser that the labour party that he is a member of, both engage in and enable sexual crimes by it’s/their sheer refusal to deal appropriately with those both accused, and convicted.
How many child sex offenders will not go to prison because keef insists that peaceful protesters must take up the remaining spaces.
Not that they ever did in any remotely satisfactory numbers anyway. Keef saw to that when he drew up the sentencing guidelines while he was DPP (In case you didn’t already know that he used to be DPP).
But I’d far rather be accused of being a supporter of a proscribed political organization than an actual member of a political party that actively shields nonces.
As Caitlin Johnson observes……..
https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2024/09/02/the-west-truly-doesnt-see-palestinians-as-human/
……there is a clear double standard operating in which:
“Western government officials are making it clear that they do not see Palestinians as human in the same way they see Israelis as human”
And this is reflected in everyday discourse and practice across every institution in the Country – including within what passes for the Labour Party.
The Rest of the World under the UN Secirity Council should call the Yanks to account, instruct them to go into Israel as a guarantee of their security
The RotW will go into Gaza and West Bank to prevent any further attacks and seizure of land, then begin the rebuilding process and delivery of humanitarian aid
Further down the road, illegal settlers will be resettled and the 2 state solution will take shape
China and Russia will guarantee ‘Never Again’

The remaining fat settlers parading with guns will soon have their bags packed. Oh well the Brit returnees will soon have their flags and guts on display at various marches. See you soon gut buckets. Leave some grub for the rest of us please and thank you. What flags will you waving?
