Jeremy Newmark: A Corrupt Israeli Lobbyist
Jeremy Newmark – jewish Labour party councillor, former CEO of the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) and until 2018 the chairman of the Jewish Labour Movement – (1) who has spent the last few years marketing himself as the apogee of moral rectitude on behalf of Israel and the jewish community. In their eternal fight against ‘hate’ aka criticism aimed at them.
It turns out that during his tenure as the head of the Jewish Leadership Council – a registered charity no less - between 2011 and 2013 his ‘alleged financial irregularities were expense claims relating to family holidays in Israel; leasing a BMW worth $64,000 on which he put a personalized number plate; inflating project budgets while failing to account surpluses; routinely charging personal expenses to the organization; habitually withdrawing cash while failing to provide receipts and attempting to cover his tracks.’ (2)
Newmark – who was also closely linked to the Israeli embassy and made comments that suggested he was actually working in the UK as a foreign agent on behalf of the Israeli government – (3) was exposed in 2013 by the JLC but they declined to do anything and are still following that course of non-action regardless of the rage from the jewish community about how bad it makes them look. (4)
The fact is however that Newmark’s corruption as well as the fact that the JLC has continued to try and cover as well as hush it up is yet another coffin in the nail of the Israel Lobby. Since it hurts its political credibility and exposes the operations of the lobby to a significant amount of scrutiny (5) that may – if it were done diligently in my opinion would – uncover evidence of the systematic scheming to implement policies in Israel’s interests not Britain’s as well as a goodly amount of bribery and corruption.
Despite the police investigation into Newmark’s corruption and links to Israeli political espionage against the United Kingdom being ongoing. (6) Newmark was promoted to the leader of Hertsmere Borough Council – just north of London - via a political alliance with the local Liberal Democrat party in 2023. (7) Hertsmere of course is also a very jewish English borough; hence the fact that no-one seems to care that Newmark has the subject of ongoing corruption and espionage investigations. (8)
Newmark wasted little time in shrieking his unequivocal support for Israel ‘on behalf of Hertsmere Borough Council’ of course (9) and has also been shouting down critics at public meetings. (10)
All this goes to show that the one group that is largely exempt from political consequences for – shall we say – bad behaviour in the UK is the jews and unsurprisingly despite all the shrieking about ‘anti-Semitism’ in the British Labour party: the jewish lobby appears to control them as well as the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties.
