Ter
nagedachtenis aan de velen die stierven voor onze vrijheid, voor de
strijd tegen het inhumane en meer dan smerige fascisme, hield Jeremy
Corbyn een rede waarin hij het belang bepleit van juist die herdenking, van
groot belang in de huidige tijd, waarin het fascisme haar
dictatoriale, psychopathische kop weer opsteekt…….
Corbyn
roept iedereen op zich te verzetten tegen de fascismisering van de
maatschappij zoals we dat in veel landen zien, niet alleen in de EU
(Hongarije, Tsjechië, Polen, Oostenrijk, de Scandinavische leden en
Italië), Europa (Oekraïne), Het Midden-Oosten (de Golfstaten en
Israël), Azië (de Filipijnen en Birma), maar ook in de 3 Amerika’s,
zoals de VS, Brazilië, Argentinië en Colombia)……
Volkomen
ten overvloede heeft Corbyn nog eens laten zien dat hij geen
antisemiet is, antisemitisme heeft niets te maken met kritiek op het
bloedige beleid en de vervolging van het verdrukte Palestijnse volk door de (nu zelfs officiële)
fascistische, apartheidsstaat Israël!!

Jeremy
Corbyn’s message for D-Day says it all. Trump take note.
5th
June 2019
Labour
leader Jeremy Corbyn sent out a powerful message on D-Day. Not only
did he respect and honour all those who died in the D-Day landings,
but he also pointed out how vital it is to stand up to “fascism”
and “hatred”. Given Donald Trump will also attend commemoration
ceremonies in Portsmouth on 5 June, his message is doubly poignant.
“Opposing
the forces of hatred today”
In
a statement, Corbyn said:
The
troops that landed on the beaches of France 75 years ago showed
unimaginable heroism. Many laid down their lives in the fight against
fascism.
He
also noted the “heart-breaking” reminder of Anne Frank’s
“excitement and optimism” about the Allied landings in a
recent BBC adaptation of
her diary. She heard the news just before “she was transported to
Auschwitz”. As Corbyn said:
It
was a poignant reminder of the evils of Nazism, and why its defeat by
the Allied forces was so essential for humanity.
He pointed
out how
vital it is to “not just commemorate those who fought and died”.
Because, he said, we must also “honour them by opposing the forces
of hatred today”. He continued:
Only
by standing up to hate, oppression and war can we protect
international cooperation and peace.
He
echoed this statement on Twitter:
This morning, I’m in Portsmouth attending the commemoration of the D-Day landings.

A
voice for peace
Corbyn
echoed these sentiments when he addressed thousands of anti-Trump
protesters in London. Referring to “our visitors” he said:
Think
on, please, about a world that is one of peace and disarmament, is
one of recognising the values of all people… A world that
defeats racism, defeats misogyny, defeats the religious hatreds that
have been fuelled by the far right in politics in Britain, in Europe
and the United States.

As The
Canary reported,
Corbyn’s lifelong commitment to peace and global human rights has
been internationally recognised. In 2013,
he was awarded the Gandhi Foundation International Peace Award.
Then in 2017, he received the
Séan MacBride Peace Prize. Yet neither of these awards gained wide
recognition in the mainstream media.
In
2016, Corbyn also visited Terezin
Concentration Camp in the Czech Republic. Ahead of the visit,
he told the Independent, the
memorial is:
a
vital reminder of the genocidal crimes carried out during the Second
World War and the dangers that far-right politics, antisemitism and
racist scapegoating pose to society.
A
better way
Since
coming to power, Trump’s frequently been called out for his
continued racist, sexist, warmongering,
and climate-wrecking policies,
comments and actions.
And
as world leaders meet to commemorate D-Day, let’s not forget that
there’s still a vicious war raging in Yemen,
propped up by UK and US arms sales. On 1 February 2019,
he withdrew from
the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty with Russia.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to posture against Iran.
As
Andrew Smith from Campaign Against Arms Trade said:
The
policies that Trump and his administration have followed are racist,
reactionary and warmongering. These are policies that must be
challenged at home and condemned abroad.
Corbyn’s
words look towards peace and ending fascism. He spoke like a true
leader because that’s the future we all want and need. So Trump
really should take note.
