Operation whatabouterry from Labour HQ in full swing then. I don’t know what’s funnier, that they think it’ll stuff works, or that they’re comparing “Islamophobia” to the antisemitism rife in the Labour Party.

Not sure why you find it funny when people are judging which religious group is the most aggrieved or who has dibs on being the most outraged. Why is one religious group more important than another in politics?

From my point of view all religions are equally moronic and it’s madness that it’s allowed to dominate politics in this way but, hey, seems to be important to some people.

It’s a shame there are no adults in politics these days.

What is funny is the ‘whataboutary’ bleating seems to now be the right-wing version of the left’s ‘SJW’ label.

That’s the point! The only people judging which religious group is most aggrieved is the Labour Party and its members. It’s why it takes the “what about” approach. There is no comparison to be made with expressing anti-Islamic sentiments and the hounding of the Jewish Labour Party members that has taken place simply because they’re Jewish.

Re: Jeremy Corbyn refuses to denounce terrorist 'friends' Hamas and Hezbollah

It is not about Corbyn's antisemitism but all about Labour stance on Iran.

Corbyn has for decades idealized & supported anti-west dictators. This group overlaps nicely with antisemites. Hence the positive attitude of Labour leadership to racists as long as they are racist toward the "right" groups.

Re: Jeremy Corbyn refuses to denounce terrorist 'friends' Hamas and Hezbollah

AIPAC: Nuclear Deal with Iran
Here are top 3 position papers from AIPAC at the above page:
  • Nuclear Deal With Iran: A Critical Vote
  • Analysis: An Unacceptable Deal
  • Congress Must Reject This Deal
The section title is also telling:
"AIPAC worked with Democrats and Republicans in Congress to monitor Iran’s compliance with the deal and to ensure that Iran could not develop nuclear weapons."

It is not that AIPAC just advocated, supported, opinionated. No, "AIPAC worked with Democrats and Republicans in Congress".

Israel embassies and Israel-friendly "NGOs" in US and UK use, among others, smears of antisemitism to discredit activists and politicians unfavourable to Israel's agenda. Therefore anything will be spun completely out of context and proportion if it can advance given agenda and intimidate such activists or politicians.

Therefore articles criticising Labour stance on Iran nuclear deal evoke alleged Labour antisemitism.
The attacks on the oil tankers in the Hormuz strait and US quick jump to conclusion met suspicion of many participants on this forum. Well, it turns out that it must be a forum full of antisemites, because that's how Labour's calls for restraint were judged.

You managed to get in a lot of strawman arguments in one post.

We've discussed them before, do try to keep up.

Boris Johnson meeting with Steve Bannon was considered endorsement of the worst type of racist and, yes, antisemitic propaganda. Suddenly neither Trump nor Boris Johnson are a problem anymore when they happen to plan an Iran "regime change".

What is this, Racist Top Trumps? I’m afraid meeting someone accused of being a racist is trumped by being investigated for actual racism.

In the mean time Johnson condemned Trump's Twitts.

Jeremy has yet to condem his friends from Hizbullah & Hamas for their recent Genocidal intentions, as proclaimed in recent interviews.
In fact, one of his front benchers is following in his footsteps and hosted an antisemite in parliament.

So wanting a regime change in Iran is anti-semitic?

Anti-semitic is anything that doesn't suit current Israel's agenda.
E.g. currently Holocaust is to be blamed on the Palestinians, not the Germans, according to the Israel's prime minister.

That's what the Corbynistas are saying - "We are not antisemitic, we are critical of Israel". It was proven wrong so many times, but repeat a lie enough times and...

And no - Israel doesn't blame the Palestinians for the Holocaust, but the Germans and their helpers.

Corbyn's labour chooses an antisemite as MP candidate
What a surprise.

Re: Jeremy Corbyn refuses to denounce terrorist 'friends' Hamas and Hezbollah

Labour pledges to abolish private schools after vote at conference

Not surprising, I suppose, since independent- and grammar-school-educated Corbyn apparently wanted his own son to attend a failing comprehensive rather than a selective grammar.

1999 MP [Jeremy Corbyn] and wife split over school

Re: Jeremy Corbyn refuses to denounce terrorist 'friends' Hamas and Hezbollah

Sad that this has to be repeated, But having an Antisemite is bad enough as an MP, but a potential PM is terrible. At least some people are aware.
