Why do so many people think labour has anti semitism problem when it’s only made up @Sidney?
Because they believe the propaganda and targetted smears
You cannot support the Palestinian cause in the UK or the west and get away with it
For the exact same reason, propaganda, people don’t know the Tories have a massive racism problem and that Boris Johnson has referred to “piccaninnies with water melon smiles” and called gay men “bumboys” in his book
Michael Gove engaged in prima facie anti-Semitism last week and not a word was said about it
Meanwhile Jonathan Freedland falsely claimed a possible Labour candidate was anti-Semitic because he didn’t do due diligence - the person he claimed was an anti-Semite was a completely different person
Dan Carden was also laughably accused oof anti-Semitism, ironically it actually took a Tory supporting Mail On Sunday journalist who was on the bus where Carden was alleged to have made the comments to dismiss the story as a load of nonsense
There has actually been a proper academic study done on this
It blows the narrative out of the water with actual facts
0.06 of Labour’s membership have been accused of anti-Semitism and many of those complaints were bogus, and most had precious little evidence to back them up
I doubt someone like Anthony Beevor is stupid enough to be fooled by some articles in the daily mail mate
Now this is a proper policy that will actually benefit everybody
Proper foresight and long term thinking
By design too, to create the conditions for flogging the NHS off
Remember the Tories gave Britain mass unemployment literally by design under the insane policy of monetarism
Presumably Corbyn is suggesting such policies for a post Brexit Britain? As they are absolutely illegal under EU law
Lots of intelligent people are fooled by a lot of things
Lots of otherwise intelligent people have insane views on some things
The reality is that Corbyn has spent his whole life fighting anti-Semitism and all racism
Johnson has spent most of his life dog whistling racism
That’s the long and short of it
Parts of the UK rail service were already re-nationalised in the EU
He’s a Blairite shill.
It’s a Corbyn problem more so than a Labour problem. The man is a raving loon far left simpleton with a history of associating with Islamic terrorists.
Has consistently supported the Islamic fascists Hamas and Hezbollah, referring to them as “our friends”.
Stood at a remembrance ceremony for the brave lads who massacred the Israeli athletes in Munich, including castrating one of them before execution.
Defended the nutcase Islamic cleric Raed Salah who promoted the blood libel that Jews bake children’s blood into their bread.
Objected to the removal of a mural in London that depicted Jewish bankers with large noses playing monopoly.
… and people wonder why Jews don’t trust him
Labour are a disgrace for not getting rid of this poisonous arsehole from the party, let alone making him leader.
Rail is completely different as well you know. Those routes were only handed out for terms and can be taken back easily enough once contracts expire.
You can’t just take the broadband infrastructure off a publicly listed company like BT. You’d be in court for years unless you decided to massively over pay.
Even if you did own the infrastructure you have to create conditions where private companies can compete (like they did to the ESB here).
That letter says that two Jewish MPs were “bullied out of the party”
I presume that refers to Luciana Berger and Louise Ellman
Berger received death threats and three people went to prison for them - what everybody always omits to mention is that those death threats came from the far right, not from anybody in Labour - the people that made the death threats against her were all active fascists
The police escort she received at a Labour party conference in 2018 was only for outside, precisely because of the threat of these fascists roaming around - inside she mingled freely
Yet this is never, ever stated in the media - the media always go with the false narrtive that she had police protection from members of her own party
This is a blatant lie
Here from 2014 is a news report about her receiving 2,500 racist tweets
Was Corbyn to blame for this?
Was Labour, given that it was led by the Jewish Ed Milband at the time?
No, of course not, it was targetted abuse by neo-Nazis
The far right have always been threatening her, yet somehow Corbyn gets blamed, because that’s the point, to smear him
Louise Ellman has always been unpopular
Have a read of what sort of policies she supports for the answer why
She voted “very strongly for” the Iraq War, “very strongly against” an investigation into that war, and “very strongly for” renewal of Trident, Britain’s nuclear weapons programme.
http://www.labournet.net/other/0403/ellman1.html
Liverpool Friends of Palestine has condemned Louise Ellman MP (Liverpool, Riverside) for her defence of targetted assassination.
Ellman told Parliament on Tuesday that “Israel’s action in killing Sheikh Yasin was a legitimate response to an extraordinary situation”.
Ellman has been unable to cite any actual anti-Semitic abuse she received from Labour members
Even @Tim_Riggins admits Corbyn is not an anti-Semite, and he hates him
John Bercow says that he has never seen Jeremy Corbyn exhibit “one whit” of anti-Semtism in the 22 years they were serving MPs
You have a long record of making up supposed anti-Semitism while engaging in prima facie anti-Semitism yourself
You literally think that all Jews outside Israel have dual loyalty
That is virulently anti-Semitic
There are no people who suffer more anti-Semitism in British politics that Jewish supporters of Corbyn’s Labour
In terms of virulent anti-Semitism, there is no major political entity which is more anti-Semitic than the US Republican Party, and the US right in general
You have consistently and shamelessly denied this anti-Semitism
Look at last week for instance and the reflex anti-Semitic reaction from Republicans and the general US right-wing to Alexander Vindman
Not a peep out of you about it, because that’s the “good” type of anti-Semitism in your eyes
Explain the following @anon7035031
Corbyn has always been one of the staunchest defenders of the Jewish community in parliament
You are living in a bizarro world - one where a lifelong committed anti-racist is an anti-Semite, yet the real anti-Semites are supposed to be friends of the Jewish community
As a propaganda bait and switch, even Vladimir Putin would think twice about that one

The lengths lads will go to so they can be right on the INTERNET
Facts are a cruel mistress, especially when they destroy a preconceived, baseless narrative
The anti-Corbyn narrative is blown out of the water here by FACTS
No surprise that a lying scumbag is supporting a fellow lying scumbag. Standard operating fare from you when your extreme positions are exposed.
The only people in the US who suggest that Jews in America have dual loyalty are the socialist nutcases like Ilhan Omar that you support. As a moderate Democrat I oppose both right wing Republicans and far left progressives, a pox on both their houses. If I lived in the UK I would support the Lib Dems, in the hope they could broker some kind of sensible coalition between the two morons either side of them.
To you Boris Johnson calling a gay man a bumboy is more harmful than a gay man being executed by Islamic nutcases. A Nazi symbol daubed on a wall is more harmful than actual Islamist terrorist attacks. This is the problem the far left finds themselves in, ranting about Catholic bigots in Ireland while calling out criticism of Islamic lunacy and hate as racism.
All Jews wherever they live support the right of Israel to exist and support the right of Israel to defend itself against attacks from radical Islamists. There are currently over 100 rockets landing a day in Israel, what should they do, turn the other cheek? Many Jews in the US for example may not agree with the Israeli government’s response to attacks or other Israeli government policies, but these two issues are red lines for Jews everywhere.
Corbyn like yourself is a lying simpleton who believes Jews in the Middle East should be subjected to a single state with an Islamic majority, ignoring the obvious fact that the result would be another genocide. When Islamists give up the notion that the only good Jew is a dead one, and decide to live side by side in a secular society, I’m sure Jews will start to trust the likes of Corbyn.
20 minutes typing that, and you’ve addressed literally none of my points
And engaged in prima facie anti-Semitism yet again, as well as a bit of homophobia for good measure
You are the ultimate hypocrite, an actual virulent anti-Semite who loves Israel and wants to obiliterate the Palestinian people
Doesn’t matter a shit as he has consistently sided with Islamic terrorists. This is the issue you seem to be blind to, siding with extremists whose goal is to slaughter all Jews does not typically go down well with Jews.
I’ll engage with your points when you explain your justification for calling my son (who’s political views would be similar to your own) a racist and a potential child murderer.
