Right, but Israel was founded as a homeland for the Jewish people, so to say that "conflating the state of Israel with Judaism is antisemitic" seems ridiculous.

Lol. I take it you've never engaged with the far left of the Labour Party.

Corbyn was the worst thing to happen to the Labour party twice in the 38yrs he's been an MP. He consigned my generation to a futher term of Tory office by organising a coup attempt against Kinnock in '88, which almost split the party, and he did the same again as party leader, thereby screwing over a second generation. He is, and always has been, utterly vile.

It was not meant to be enlarged and expanded constantly, by stealing it forcefully, and extremely violently, from the Palestinian.
I am not antisemitic at all- but I am 100% against the above and the disgusting methods used to.

To bring the thread slightly back on topic, apart from him being a champagne socialist, whose policies if enacted would have bankrupted the country, here are some of the despicable things he has done over the years (cut and pasted):

Having said that, I‘m very happy he was made leader of Labour as he kept them out of power. The conservatives maybe useless, but they are the less worse option.

I still don't believe Corbyn is antisemitic – but his 'irony' comments unquestionably were

For nearly 4 decades the UN declared zionism equated with racism and only due to political pressure was it repealed in '91. No surrpises then that the UN has progressively lost credibility over the years since

Corbyn must be the most unlucky non antisemite in the world - he keeps bumping into antisemite friends, supports antisemitic terrorists, worked for an antisemitic TV station. Now wonder the Jews in the UK were afraid ofhim becoming PM.

Now even the EHRC states the obvious - Labour under Corbyn was criminally neglectful (at best) handling Antisemitism.

It's a disgrace he is still an MP and other Labour MPs call for his reinstatement.

Birds of a feather flock together! Bliar - and that is not a typo - was and is typical of the group!

...if you are far left, you must be an anti-Zionist(you'll be called anti-Semite)...reason is that the far left want to tax rich, but guess who detain majority of the money in west...when you have lot of money, you can influence course of geo-politics, history...and even when you rich you can influence faith of those who sustain free schooling, free sport education, taxing corporations(that hide moneys in offshores)...he is the only one who tried to fight for emancipation of poor and reunite distressed nations as Irish and Palestinians...

If anyone needed proof that Corbyn attracts Antisemites.

Go on then - please let us know.

I'll explain to you why this is wrong: because pure and simple - if the Jewish population in the Middle East were living in an Arabic / Muslim led country they would systemically be once again the victim of appalling levels of racism at best and genocide at worst. One day that may change - and relationships with some neighbours are improving - but not yet.

Thus, the Jews need to be in a Jewish majority, Jewish led state.

That's not to ignore the terrible situation of the Palestinian people who also deserve a country of their own. The only grown up answer is a two state solution. However that is by definition a Zionist one.

Corbyn reinstated after non-apology.

Coming hot on the heels of his former lover, political ally and current MP, sharing platform with Uighur atrocities deniers.

Racism is a feature, not a bug in the Labour party.

As an Irishman I am not distressed thank you very much. And I certainly don't need a terrorist supporting slug called Corbyn to 'defend and support' me.

If a united Ireland does come about, it will hopefully be by peaceful democratic means. The IRA are and have always been since the 60's undemocratic and murderers....it's indefensible to support a group that will happily blow up children and call it war or justify any other way.

Pash, Abbott is an irrelevance, why are you focussing on her when the Tory government says nothing about the Uighers?

Have you seen this, what do you think? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/...ies-wednesday/

Abbott is an MP, formerly a shadow minister and one of the leaders of the pro Corbyn camp. This camp is quite strong in the Labour party. Hardly an irrelevance.

For an MP to share a platform with atrocity deniers is quite a low. Corbyn did this many times, and now his followers are doing the same.

...I am working with 100+ Irishman, none of them have your view...

Maybe back in the party, but not had the whip reinstated.

Amazing..you've asked all 100, I'm impressed but unconvinced.
