Gillian Lazarus is now retired and spends most of her time under the safatey blanket of “Israel advocacy”.
We were genuinely in two minds if we should run this article on Gillian Lazarus, given her age. We deliberated hard on the effect it might have on her. In the end we decided it is important to highlight the depth and breadth of the problem within “Israel advocacy”.
The rot transcends across various age, class and economic levels and we believe it is important to highlight that.
Gillian complains about David Miller naming individuals:
A 2019 study by Dr Leor Zmigrod showed that cognitive inflexibility is found in those with extreme attitudes on both the far right and far left of the political divide. Gillian and other radicals have this element of cognitive inflexibility becasue they see everything through a narrow and rigid lens.
In the case of Gillian this lens is “Jews”. She believes why David Miller follows me is because of something related to “Jews”. All radical groups and people have this cognitive inflexibility.
They say you are the company you keep – David Lange is a well known anti-Palestinian extremist and Islamophobe, who fabricates lies and similarly views everything through the lenses of “Jews”:
Gillian is keen on having others followed and being “researched”.
She likes the fact that an account called “crayanddrizzy” discovered “the connection”, albeit a false one. She never queries that though. But who is this “crayanddrizzy!? WE know, it is a Zionist and Jewish extremist whose account was permanently suspended by Twitter for repeated hate speech against Muslims, Palestinians and Jews who weren’t her “type” of Jew.
Keep in mind the context here. This is a permanent ban in the era of Elon Musk, who it is widely accepted has vastly broadened the parameters of what is allowed on the platform. Therefore just imagine the kind of hateful vitriol this individual must have been spewing. But that is OK with Gillian, why, well, we presume because of the extremist Jewish and Zionist connection. Does Gillian keep this sort of company were they of a different persuasion? We think not.
Her own racism comes to the the forefront below when she suggests that being white attracts more followers on Twitter than being brown skinned:
She has no qualms about incessantly talking about me and tracking my tweets even though she has blocked me (remember her complaining about this earlier. “Do as I say, not as I do” comes to mind!). Falsely assigning me “soul mates”, people that I do not even know:
Dr Leor Zmigrod’s study which showed that cognitive inflexibility is a key character trait of extremists is at the forefront here again:
Where everything is seen through the lenses of “Jews”, even though the facts are patently contrary to the “reality” she sees in her head.
I try to gauge an opinion of my network, asking if they think Israel commits war crimes. She sees it as an “onslaught on Jews”. How on Earth does one navigate around that, other than sheer exasperation and sorrow that someone has gone so far down a rabbit hole where there is now no way back.
The anti- Palestinian hate is never too far beneath the surface. Scratch a little and it is almost always there with her ilk.
She denies the lived experiences of the Palestinians under occupation. She denies the abuse faced by a 3 year old Palestinian at an Israeli checkpoint:
The extremists have been emboldened by the overtly extremist government in Israel. This has a direct impact on the rise of hate we are seeing being produced in the UK by so called “Israel advocates”.
