    One from OffG on the Open Letter that was deleted by the fraudian "for investigation" (any news on how that's going fraud? No? Didn't think there would be) but goes into the Panorama hit piece in the comments.

    One of the excellent comments from Harry Stotle notes that the "star" of the hit piece was Ella Rose, who will be familiar to watchers of "The Lobby" when she was revealed to be an Israeli asset working with Shai Masot. Excatly the kind of impartial witness a journalist needs eh?

    Ware’s hit-piece began with Ella Rose telling the camera she had been ‘the victim of a lot of antisemtisim in the Labour party’ and that while leafleting (at a party conference) someone ‘screamed abuse in my face’ – this, apparently, constitutes ‘evidence’ in the current climate.

    So from the outset it was clear Ware had set the evidence bar at ground level while needless to say there was no requirement for participants, such as the duplicitous Rose, to provide any DOI (declaration of interest)

    According to the link (above) the transcript shows that Ella Rose discussed with Robin (an undercover reporter) how he could get a job at the Israeli embassy.

    She tells him that two possible positions, one to promote Israeli culture and another to monitor the BDS movement for Palestinian rights, had both been recently filled.

    She reveals her intimate knowledge of the embassy’s hiring procedures. One of the candidates, she states, was “going through security at the moment.”
    “I could’ve got you an interview as well,” Rose adds.
    Rose also states she is close friends with two key figures in the embassy responsible for hiring, and that she had herself “put together half of the list” of candidates for the anti-BDS position.
    She offers to help Robin, who was posing as an activist with Labour Friends of Israel, forge links with the Israeli embassy: “I’m more than happy, I can give you the email address if you want to send your CV.”

    How on earth is anybody meant to take this sort of suberfuge in good faith and why did the BBC fail to fulfil its supposed role as an impartial broadcaster.

    Of course pointing any of this out virtually guarantees a fresh wave of antisemitism slurs not to mention a torrid session on the Tom Watson’s ducking stool.

    Ironically the Blairite witch-hunt proves the polar opposite of what it has set out to achieve (tarring Corbyn supporters as antisemitic).
    What it actually proves is how many Labour MPs still blindly support an apartheid state irrespective of the human rights abuses regularly committed by Netanyahu’s government in Palestine – not that Ware, or anyone else at the BBC lose much sleep over the fact Paelstinian children are being executed by IDF snipers.
