An animal rights charity that claims support from celebrities including Lily Allen, Hugh Grant, Sting and Jamie Oliver is spreading a string of vile antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Farms not Factories, which campaigns against pig factories, has blamed ‘Zionists’ for the Holocaust, 9/11 and the war in Ukraine in its newsletters.
The charity, which lobbies consumers to only buy local, high welfare and ethically produced pork, also lists Stephen Fry, Jon Snow and Game of Thrones star Jerome Flynn among its ‘high profile supporters’ on its website.
In one newsletter from October, titled ‘Zionist Money Rules’, the charity alleges that ‘murdering non-Jewish children is allowed’ in Jewish scripture before sharing a video which complains about ‘highly biased’ reporting on the Manchester synagogue attack.
It also states that ‘in the 1930s the Rothschild-Rockefeller alliance introduced music frequency science that would alter people’s mental state into disruption, disharmony and disunity to brainwash them to be ready to fight in World War II.’
Another video it shares alleges to explain ‘how during World War One the German and US Central banks were run by two Zionist brothers’.
The newsletter also describes Zionists – those who believe in the existence of a Jewish state – as ‘liars, thieves and murderers in their pursuit of world domination’.
It claims Charlie Kirk was ‘killed by Zionists’ and Jews worldwide are ‘using their wealth to buy their power’ and conquer the Middle East.

‘Also consider that the Zionists along with their US brothers and sisters in the CIA, were behind 9/11 to convince the gullible US public to endorse multiple wars against the so-called axis of evil in the Middle East and Africa,’ it adds.
The newsletters, which feature bizarrre ramblings of more than tens of thousands of words each, quote from various conspiracy theorists including Holocaust deniers before its founder Tracy Worcester asks for donations to bring an end to ‘dangerous’ and ‘inhumane’ farming.
The charity has held demonstrations attended by celebrities including Jerome Flynn and TV chef Gizzi Erskine.
Mr Flynn, who plays Bronn in Game of Thrones, is described as a ‘supporter and spokesman for Farms Not Factories’ who has ‘been actively promoting our campaign’ for years.
Meanwhile, prominent environmentalist Ben Goldsmith and Lord Zac Goldsmith have cut ties with the charity after the antisemitic newsletters emerged.
‘My brother Zac and I are appalled to discover that we are still publicly associated with Farms not Factories,’ Ben told the Jewish News.
‘Once upon a time this small charity did brilliant work towards ending the scourge of factory pig farming.
‘But its founder has succumbed to myriad dark-web conspiracy theories, and worse besides.’

In one newsletter, the charity writes that ‘murdering non-Jewish children is allowed in the Talmud’
One newsletter quotes directly from Holocaust denier Ron Unz.
The letter, titled ‘Home Grown Food Is Bad For The Climate!’, Unz’s writing which states Jews view non-Jews as ‘beasts in the shape of men’, ‘Jewish lives have infinite value and non-Jewish none at all’ and that Jews ‘regard Christianity as a total abomination which must be wiped from the face of the earth’.
The newsletters are typically prefaced with the claim the ‘the purpose of our newsletter is to give you important information that is censored in the mainstream media.’
Its latest, from October 31, shares a video claiming the Ukraine war is ‘ethnic cleansing for Israel’.
It claims ‘1.8million Ukrainian soldiers have been deliberately wiped out in Ukraine to be replaced by [redacted] people to create a ‘greater Israel’ or ‘new Jerusalem.’
It has also shared dangerous conspiracies that claim vaccines are ‘scams’, alleging Zionists will likely attempt to murder a Dutch politician who raises concerns about the Covid vaccine.
Another newsletter states that Israel, China and Russia are ‘altering the weather’ and that ‘Vietnam didn’t have a single case of autism till Bill Gates showed up’.
Asked about the conspiracy theories, a spokesperson for the charity told the Daily Mail: ‘Farms Not Factories newsletters share and repost material that is already publicly accessible.

It also quotes Holocaust denier David Unz, who alleges Jews believe their ‘lives have infinite value, and non-Jewish ones none at all’
