Corbyn Supporter Pretending To Be Jewish Almost As Convincing As William Shatner Singing ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’

He attends his “Jewish church” and quotes such famous Jewish figures as Jesus.

London, August 7 – An anonymous Twitter user claiming to see eye-to-eye with the leader of the UK Labour Party on every issue, and who defends him most vociferously on the issue of the party’s systemic antisemitism problem, also puts himself forth as a member of the Hebrew faith, an assertion that has swayed nearly as many people on the subject as the number who think a 1968 TV-star-cum-wannabe-pop-idol’s rendition of a famous psychedelic anthem conveyed an authentic hallucinogenic experience.

“Dan Katz” has made multiple daily tweets invoking his ostensible Jewish credentials to lend weight to his strident support for Jeremy Corbyn amid years of mounting evidence that the Labour chief has ignored, condoned, and actively invited Jew-haters in the party’s ranks, the point that numerous Jews and other concerned members have left the party. “Dan’s” efforts to display his Jewish bona fides have all landed awkwardly, lending his posts almost the same convincing power as William Shatner’s attempt at a cover of the Beatles hit “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.”

Shatner, of Jewish extraction, played Captain James Kirk of the Starship Enterprise in the original 1960’s sci-fi series Star Trek, bringing to the role an overacted quality that he employed in the multiple Star Trek film releases that followed and every other acting part in his subsequent career. His overwrought delivery featured in a 1967 album that attempted to ride the psychedelic wave of the era, a release on which, among other aesthetic debacles, Shatner “sang” the Beatles number, and later claimed he recorded it in the voice of someone tripping on LSD. Rolling Stone magazine characterized that claim in 2011 with the words “Nobody has ever tripped that bad.”

Shatner’s cover nevertheless still has a compelling edge on the tweets by “Dan Katz” asserting his Jewishness. The latter has invoked: speaking English at home despite being Jewish; attending his “Jewish church” and celebrating the “feast days” of the Jewish calendar; quoting such famous Jewish figures as Jesus; and bad-mouthing the more than 90% of Jews who support the reestablishment of Jewish sovereignty in the ancestral Jewish homeland, among other rhetorical choices that call into question the ingenuousness of the Jewish identity Mr. “Katz” professes.

The anonymous tweeter defended his Jewish credentials to a reporter this morning, accusing those who doubt his heritage of “hijacking what Judaism is all about, in the name of furthering their divisive agenda when they should be celebrating what brings us together as Jews, such as anti-Zionism.”
