"Jewish lobby" remarks

In October 2017, Farage asserted in an LBC radio appearance that the "Jewish lobby" in the United States was more concerning to him than Russian interference in American politics, saying: "There are other very powerful lobbies in the United States of America, and the Jewish lobby, with its links with the Israeli government, is one of those strong voices...There are about 6 million Jewish people living in America, so as a percentage it's quite small, but in terms of influence it's quite big."[171][172] Farage's remarks were condemned by the Campaign Against Antisemitism[172] and the Anti-Defamation League, which said that Farage's comment "plays into deep-seated anti-Semitic tropes" and was fuel for extremist conspiracy theories.[171]

While people are being deflected by this kind of tenuous nonsense, anti-Semitic attacks in the UK are at a record high for the third year in a row. Frankly I'm more angry about that than what someone might... or indeed, might not have said.

He did talk about the power of jewish groups in america, but the quote attributed to him, he didn't make. The video evidence is there for all to see and then they misquoted him underneath it

I know. It's the hysterical and dogged manipulation of the story that gets me, sometimes from the same people who have defended Corbyn's anti-Semitism.

I mean, there is a powerful Jewish lobby in the US and you, I and most people already know that, it isn't news. Did someone think it was a secret, I wonder? The USA recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital for example... I'm sure Trump didn't wake up one day, you know what guys, I've had a great idea...

Its using anti- Semitism as a prop to have a go at someone you dont like, not because you care about Jewish people

that cant be right?

No, it's not right. But it is transparent.

Farage even registered in the preface to the annual Antisemitic Discourse Report by CST for 2017

The controversy over antisemitism in the Labour Party endured throughout 2017, having come to national prominence in the previous year (it would also continue into 2018). But antisemitism in political life was not confined to ongoing Labour antisemitism row. People on different parts of the political spectrum were accused of talking about the “Jewish lobby” or “Israel lobby” in terms that evoked antisemitic conspiracy theories. Examples of this phenomenon involved both Nigel Farage and the Al Jazeera TV network in 2017.

full text:

In October Nigel Farage, the former leader
of UKIP, discussed the United States’ “Jewish
lobby” with a caller on his LBC radio show in
terms that were condemned by the Board of
Deputies of British Jews as having “crossed
the line into well-known antisemitic tropes”.
The caller, “Ahmed” from Leyton in east
London, telephoned Farage’s show which
was discussing the question of whether US
President Donald Trump “is involved in some
form of Russian collusion”. Ahmed began by
asking “how come there’s such an issue with
Russia, Russian involvement, and there’s no
one really highlighting AIPAC [American Israel
Public Affairs Committee] and the Israeli lobby
and their involvement in American politics
and elections?” Farage agreed with Ahmed
in language that immediately conflated the
“Israeli lobby” with American Jews, saying:
“Well, the Israeli lobby, that’s a reasonable
point Ahmed because there are about six
million Jewish people living in America, so
as a percentage it’s quite small, but in terms
of influence it’s quite big.” Farage then said:
“I don’t think anybody is suggesting that the
Israeli government tried to affect the result
of the American elections,” and contrasted
this with allegations that Russia had tried to
influence the 2016 US Presidential Election in
favour of Trump.
Ahmed then brought the conversation back
to the subject of Israel, saying “with Israel,
they affect both Democrats and Republicans,
they’ve got them both in their pockets.” Again,
Farage agreed and changed the discussion
from “Israeli lobby” to “Jewish lobby”, saying:
“Well, in terms of money and influence, yep,
they are a very powerful lobby…Ahmed, new
caller from Leyton, I thank you; he makes the
point that there are other very powerful foreign
lobbies in the United States of America, and
the Jewish lobby, with its links with the Israeli
government, is one of those strong voices.”

Your trolling is getting out of control.
The incident was reported all over the world, including Jewish outlets. It made the annual antisemitism report for Britain.
Deal with that, Trumpet.
