Look… I don’t like Spencer or Geller anymore than most people on LGF does… and that’s evident from my many personal email exchanges between myself and Spencer.

But at the same time… just as Robert indicates that he doesn’t care much about what peoples politics are, just as long as they are anti-Islamist… which I find to be a stupid stance to take… I am also careful to find out the politics of people like Siobhan Schwartzberg… who may… at first glance.. be supportive of an anti-EDL message, but at the same time, be as far to the other end of the political spectrum in regards to Israel.

As much as I don’t support Spencer and Gellar, nor the EDL, I’m not sure if I can support someone who makes statements like the one above.

But Not In Our Name is more than Siobhan Schwartzberg. It’s been noted twice already that it includes:

• Board of Deputies of British Jews
• Britain-Israel Parliamentary Group
• Community Security Trust
• Embassy of Israel
• Holocaust Educational Trust
• Jewish Council for Racial Equality
• Jews for Justice for Palestinians
• Lord Janner of Braunstone
• Lord Levy
• Love LSE, Hate Racism
• StandWithUs UK
• Union of Jewish Students
• Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland
