The nutshell summary here, and again this is corroborated in the accounts of lobby journalists. This is why I compare this behaviour to the movie Gone Girl: most people do not encounter hate-driven psychos in their daily lives, so it would never occur to them that anyone would ever behave like this.
of a contagion. This chronology is important for appreciating the role d the Labour Together Project. As shown in more detail belon, the project went to work in 2018 and early 2019 placing media stories about alleged antisemitism in the Labour Party, creating that bedrock of 'facts' which all decent people thenceforth simply had to accept. In March 2019, the Labour Together Project initiated a campaign to "completely evicerate the economic base of alternative media outlets that investigated or reported on aspects of the 'antisemitism crisis' in ways that did not chime with or directly undermined the mainstream narrative. This campaign stigmatised such reporting as antisemitic denialism. Importantly, the Labour Together Project's interventions recast 'denialism' as being not just antisemitic but also a form of misinformation. Questioning aspects of the 'antisemitism crisis could then be construed as part of a broader threat to the fabric of Western democracy-akin to, say, claims that the 2020 PAUL• American presidential election was fraudulent. The chutzpah of this campaign was impressive: even as it was busy plotting to destroy Corbynism, using money it was unlawfully failing to declare to the Electoral Commission, the Labour Together Project secretly fuelled a moral panic about antisemitism in Corbyn's Labour Party, then set up a seemingly unconnected entity that delegitimised any questioning of this moral panic as antisemitic. All in the name of fighting 'misinformation'! Indeed, when independent reporters or commentators speculated or reported on a hidden hand or ulterior agenda driving the 'antisemitism crisis' narrative, the astroturf entity covertly associated with the Labour Together Project would brand them antisemitic conspiracists-even as the Labour Together Project was itself a hidden hand! A still crueller irony was that the thought-crime of denialism' would become a web that ensnared large numbers of left-wing Jews who questioned aspects of the 'antisemitism crisis, or who worried that the prevalence of antisemitism in the Labour Party was being exaggerated in order to undermine socialism as well as pro-Pales-tinian activism. The 'antisemitism crisis' also became a proxy battle in a long-running conflict between establishment Jewish community organisations, on the one hand, and non-conformist as well as non-Zionist Jews on the other. Resolving the 'anti-semitism crisis' on terms acceptable to the jewish communal establishment required the performative and ugly exclusion of Jewish people from the Labour Party on the basis that their dissenting opinions amounted to denialist antisemitism.

Wael spoke to the media in November and talked about how he’s not just losing a caregiver, he’s losing his best friend.

His dad was granted permission to remain in the US.

He was detained at his immigration check in.

He was complying and they took him anyways… and it cost Wael his life:

Polarization and state violence are not new.

What stands out now, to me, is state surveillance capacity has expanded, wealth and power have consolidated, corruption has increased, and institutions are weakened.

But there are more of us “resisting” now than there were then.

We can win.

We must.
