Part
6 - From lynching to witch hunt
First,
she produced a one-woman show about her treatment at the hands of the
Labour party bureaucracy – framed in the context of decades of
racist treatment of black people in the west – called The Lynching.
And then
her story was turned into a documentary film, fittingly called Witch
Hunt. It sets out very clearly the machinations of the Blairite wing
of MPs, and Labour’s closely allied Israel lobby, in defaming
Walker as part of their efforts to regain power over the party.
For
people so ostensibly concerned about racism towards Jews, these
witchfinders show little self-awareness about how obvious their own
racism is in relation to some of the “witches” they have hunted
down.
But that
racism can only be understood if people have the chance to hear from
Walker and other victims of the anti-semitism smears. Which is
precisely why Williamson, who was trying to organise the screening of
Witch Hunt, had to be dealt with too.
