Chief Rabbi’s role in U.K. election.

 This Netanyahu agent’s offensive accusations against Jeremy Corbyn were designed to smear the man unjustly with charges of anti semitism. The Chief Rabbi defiled our last election and shamed his office. It was interference in a Sovereign country’s election by a man who has acted as an agent of Israel in another country in the past. https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/01/27/the-misuses-of-antisemitism-in-the-uk-and-the-usa/

 Jonathan Cook:-                    

 In 2008, Cook published Israel and the Clash of Civilizations: Iraq, Iran and the plan to remake the Middle East, published by Pluto Press.  Of the book, Antony Loewenstein wrote that, "Cook bravely skewers the mainstream narrative of a Jewish state constantly striving for peace with the Palestinians." According to Lowenstein, Cook argues that Israel "pursues policies that lead to civil war and partition," and that this idea of dissolving many of the nations of the Middle East, shared by the neocons and the Bush administration, was developed by Israel's security establishment in the 1980s.  Cook discusses an essay authored by Oded Yinon and published by the World Zionist Organisation in 1982 which advocated for Israel's transformation into a regional imperial power via the fragmentation of the Arab world, "into a mosaic of ethnic and confessional groupings that could be more easily manipulated" .
