Is anitisemitism a place on the map?

I dont understand it then. Im not big time into religion but i watch the news and over the last few years there's been tonnes of jewish groups turning up on the news saying they've got a problem with JC and how labour handles antisemitism and its a huge deal and they are really worried about the situation.

What you're saying then is they are all wrong, there isn't anything out of order and in fact its totally the other end of the scale and he's very much pro jewish people ?

So the whole lot of them, all the groups, the head chief rabbi bloke, they've all been fooled by a set of people who run the papers who hve painted JC as the opposite of this because.... they dont want him to win an election ?

It seems a bit far fetched to me.

Anyone would think the spin doctors and fixers aren't even necessary... wait...

In anecdotes, racists say things like "some of my best friends are black" and "I don't have anything agsints black people but ...".

In that respect showing off that he has Jewish friends isn't really helping him.

Let's just think this one through hypothetically.

Would it really hurt Corbyn to stand up and publically and uneqivocally tell Hamas and friends and anybody who supports them that their friendship is over forever.

That it is fine to criticze Israeli policy but it isn't fine to criticize Israeli policy when you've got a gun in your hand.

What exactly is it that Corbyn is clinging to that is it more important that winning an election?

Yes, some other people here have pointed out his incompetence and thirst for power too. We're running in circles.

As you said, it's all down to your PR machine...

From here.

I agree that letting go and stepping back would be the best for the party (no idea either why he's clinging onto his leadership ).

Step 2

Side A keeps posting meaningless references back to their own opinion.

...and referring to themselves as "a side"

There really are only the two views, huh?

Some can't help stirring the pot....we have all sorts.


At the end of the day everyone will vote according to their interests/views/opinions. It was what Brexiters kept telling us.

No, not exactly that.
I'm not against Jews. I'm not against the existence of the state of Israel. I am against the systematic oppression and aggressive foreign policy of successive Israeli governments towards the people of Palestine, and the failure of both sides to find an amicable working solution for all. It's that specific.

Um...

Corbyn is pro-Palestine.

You could just be far less skeptical and take what I say at face value.

I can hold your hand on this occasion and have posted links below to back up what I wrote. Changed your mind now?

Since we're all repeating ourselves now:

There are about 46 million voters in the United Kindgom.

There are less than 300 000 Jewish people.

The single most important issue for British voters is Brexit.

Anyone who thinks antisemitism is going to have any appreciable effect on the results of this election needs to lay off the mushrooms.

That's all.

Nice way to insert the false equivalence of Tory Islamophobia in there at the end. There are racists in all parties. The difference with Labour, as has already been mentioned, and why they are being investigated EHRC, is that this is an institutionalised problem within the party. A Conservative Party member makes an anti-Muslim statement and they get kicked out of the party. A Labour Party member does something that can be construed as anti-Semitic and Jeremy Corbyn doesn’t react in the same way. An example of this was raised on Question Time recently when an audience member referred to Jeremy Corbyn’s reaction to Jewish MP Ruth Smeeth getting heckled at a Labour Event. After the event Jeremy Corbyn was seen friendly chatting with the person doing the heckling.

This is the result of spending decades as a hopeless backbench MP rubbing shoulders with a mix of unsavoury people who share the same cursory and simpleminded view that the US and Israel are to blame for the world’s problems. With Corbyn as party leader, this has been allowed to transform into outright full-blooded antisemitism.

...elected to lead the party.

Why? You're asking for blind acceptance.

Ah. The charming "letter box" comment. But no doubt we will surely be schooled in why this isn't rascism...

In context, he was speaking in defence of liberal principles.

But he's still a twat.

I know. But he still said it.

Hmm... which other politician may have done a similar thing... not mince his words in defence of principles...
