Do Labourites honestly believe he is electable?

He's being taken to task for all kinds of morally-bankrupt dealings.

Donating money to a foundation run by a Holocaust denier, sharing a stage with pedallers of the Jewish blood libel, observing a minute's silence for IRA men, attending the Iranian "Jerusalem day" rally with anti-semitic banners in the background.

Not to mention his supporters have been flooding his critics with anti-semitic abuse.

I don't even think that's the worst of it. More to come I feel.
It's interesting to see this sort of thing foregrounded so soon. I wonder why people don't question that anyone on the other side might have skeletons in their cupboards and why these are not talked about in the media.

What a massive straw man. :facepalm:

All what you say is immaterial. Do you honestly think a country is sane if it elects a Prime Minister or significant political leader who has invited speakers who have claimed the death of the country's soldiers is a 'victory'?



Maybe Corby understands that Britain is partially to blame for extremists like that.

Yes I think it is a good thing if Corbyn stays out of wars and wants to make peace including with this recent conflict in Ukraine.

The media destroyed Farage.

Besides, I don't think any MPs besides the paedophiles have much as bad as what Corbun has. He is a Hamas supporter who associates with terrorists, Jew (not Zionist but actual Jew) haters and who supported the IRA when they were setting off bombs including their assassination attempt on Thatcher.

How many MPs out there, besides maybe Galloway, have this much on them?
The problem with the left wing is that they have a complete blind spot when it comes to anti-semitism.

Can you imagine for example, if Nigel Farage had been photographed with KKK members, gave donations to Combat18 and attended meetings with White Power leaders?

There would be total outrage and there isn't a chance in hell that he would be allowed to operate as a politician.


But Corybn...well, the left give him a pass. Anti-semitism isn't like proper racism, is it? I mean it can sort of be understood....what with Israel and that.


It really is baffling how the left managed to morph into the new Nazis without any major rift forming. It seems they've transitioned smoothly. You just couldn't make it up. A political ideology which is largely based on ideals of equality - ends up being the major purveyor of anti-semitism in Europe.

It;s fine for Tony Blair to work with actual dictators apparently.

I don't think Corbyn is anti-semetic and considering we flew our flag in solidarity with Saudi I don't see what the fuss is about. It just seems like Corbyn has associated with the wrong kind of terrorists or bad men etc, not the acceptable ones.

Corbyn's probably somewhat relieved that this has been cleared up, not that he hid anything.

It just means that there will be no more skeletons in his closet should he be elected leader.

I agree, antisemitism is a special kind of racism...
Labour somehow manage to keep digging their own grave. Seems like Tories and the SNP are going to stay in power for the next decade.

to support islamists and anti-semites is a pretty big skeleton in the closet -its on par with being a member of the KKK in terms of morality - how is this guy getting so many votes in labour ranks, are they all ignorant?

So inviting someone to Parliament means you have the same beliefs as them?

The left have convinced themselves that anti-semitism isn't as serious as racism against actual brown/black people.

Farage was called a racist many times on mainstream media. On Question Time for example. What for? for opposing immigration. Somehow 'immigrants' became a race.

Yet here we have Corbyn absolutely surrounded by anti-semitism and other extreme ideologies, and no cries of "racist" can be heard from the left.

Now what's going to happen, is that more revelations will be made about Corbyn and he'll need to stand down at some point - before or after being elected as leader.

Who will then get the blame? why, the Jews of course.

John Mann MP has said he's already received dozens of anti-semitic emails because he criticised Corbyn. Saying that he's working for the "Nazi Zionists" etc.



The left need root & branch treatment, they've turned into a real monster.

Interesting.

So you wouldn't have a problem with Le Pen, Ukrainian Nazis, Golden Dawn etc being invited to Parliament? you wouldn't judge the character of the person that invited them?

That was not your opinion when you expressed perplexity as to why he was getting so many votes...

Are you jealous that the left have made Muslims their favourite toy instead of Jews?

Wow! Talk about being childish...

no , just not abhorrent ones of the islamists and racists he befriends

i dont really understand Labour anymore -obviously getting corbyn into their leadership race was a gimmick, but it seems to backfired on the Labour power-clique.
why dont the current group break off and form a 'New Labour' party and Corbyn, George galloway and Ken Livingstone break off and from their neo socialist islamic front against israel' party.

my suggestion was there was more afoot that meets the eye - perhaps that the tories infiltrated labour voting- they would rather he was labour leader than anyone else. corbyn has never received any level of support till now

I am still failing to see why having discourse with various anti-Israel political actors is such an outrage.

It would seem to be the sort of thing you have to do if you are interested in the Middle East peace process.

Refusing to engage with people who disagree with you is more a Tory thing, isn't it? Like in the 1980s when Corbyn was talking to the IRA and trying to get the Thatcher government to do the same. But no, the Tories did their "we're right you're wrong now shut up and take it" routine and lo and behold we got more bombings in the 1990s.

As soon as mainstream politicians began talking to the IRA as Corbyn had been saying, we got the peace process advancing pretty quick, no thanks to the Tories and the lost decade their intransigence helped perpetrate.

I suppose in your view Corbyn talking to the IRA and demanding that the British government did so too was tantamount to treason. Well, grow up. You have to engage with a wide range of people to get results.
