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. |

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.

It is not about Corbyn's antisemitism but all about Labour stance on Iran. https://www.thejc.com/comment/commen...facts-1.485661 | This user would like to thank yacek for this useful post: | |

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

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.

E.g. currently Holocaust is to be blamed on the Palestinians, not the Germans, according to the Israel's prime minister.

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

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.
