'families...arm-in-arm' is a smear

'some of the families and descendants of those murdered, are now seen arm-in-arm with the new neo-fascists'

I'd challenge John Webster to produce any evidence for such images or numbers, 'arm-in-arm' or 'families'. The evidence for Jewish members of the EDL is literally tiny. All representative Jewish bodies in the UK have condemned the EDL, including the Zionist Federation, which has arranged some demonstrations against those who wanted to close Ahava in Covenant Garden. Such Jews are not responsible if EDL turn up to stand on the same stretch of pavement: what are they supposed to do? Break the law and assault them?. Only someone with an a priori animus would equate that unfortunate coincidence with an alliance 'arm-in-arm'.

One might observe that countless pro-Palestinian demonstrations and events contain reactionary groups and individuals, against whom no censure is given whatsoever. Rather the reverse.
