A piece of work

Zveika Klein is the editor in chief of the Jerusalem Post and has just posted an article telling New York Jews to use the ‘London playbook’ to defeat the Democrat candidate for New York Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, whom it is claimed is anti-Semitic. The ‘London playbook’ is Klein’s description of how a co-ordinated campaign led to the termination of Corbyn’s electoral prospects in 2019. It is a brazen admission, in effect of foreign influence in another country’s political affairs, although his article doesn’t explicitly state this. Klein after all is unlikely to acknowledge the role of the Israeli embassy in British politics, as revealed by Al Jazeera.  
 
Klein’s ‘London playbook’ has six steps: Stay united; own the news cycle; commission opinion polls to bolster your argument; elevate ‘moral’ voices (apparently Chief Rabbi Mirvis in the UK was such a voice): throw in ‘personal’ stories of persecution; lastly ‘Make the debate about racism, not geopolitics.’ This last injunction clearly means don’t get entangled with Gaza issues or settler colonialism on the West Bank or Israel’s apartheid. The main force of Klein’s playbook lies in the last point anti-zionism = anti-semitism which permits denialism. Never mind that there are Christian Zionists, regardless of which elements in the British police seem to think Zionism is an ethnicity. That demonstrates how ingrained and indeed successful Klein’s ‘London playbook’ has been.  
 
Never heard of Klein before? You can learn a lot more about this person by searching Google for ‘Qatargate.’ Difficult to make head nor tail of this story but it leads me to the view that he is euphemistically ‘a piece of work.’ Surely somebody the Democrat Party establishment will look to aid their effort to defeat their own (radical) candidate.​
