Pay walled...

The Labour Party published a report saying that Israeli interference contributed to Labour's defeat.
Not so much a dog whistle as a foghorn.

This is not true. The report was made by Labour International, who only represent some of the Labour Party members who live outside of the UK. They are not the Labour Party itself.

Israeli interference.

The expat wing of the Labour Party is, I would imagine, a good cross section of the Labour Party. The fact that they published a document that uses anti-Semitic tropes speaks volumes.

You are just straight lying. One labour member said this, not the party.

Labour supports the rights of the oppressed Palestinians to self determination.
The party has been critical of Israel's foreign policy and human rights abuses.
Corbyn's position on the region was clear.
Labour proposed reassessing military aid to Israel if elected.

And you seriously think that Israeli interests did not promote anti-Corbyn propaganda? Pfft!

What we are guilty of is, is being too slow to kick out members, idoit members who held/hold (and voiced/voice) dubious believes. This is demonstrated by the speed we kicked Alastair Campbell out the party but was, slow shall we say? To kick out members who made and voiced anti semitic views.

1) The Palestinian people are not oppressed by Israel.

If Israel oppresses the Palestinians, then why is Palestinian Arabic an official language of Israel?

2) Cutting military aid to the only liberal democracy in the whole region of the Middle East would be a Bad Thing.

3) Name me some of those Israeli interests then

On this I have to agree with you. We can argue as to whether Corbyn and the Labour Party are anti-Semitic themselves, but the truth is that Labour under Corbyn has been far too slow to remove anti-Semites from the party and to let them hold positions of influence when they should have been expelled years ago (Ken Livingstone, Jackie Walker and Chris Williamson spring to mind).

And then there's the matter of the 10 pledges and the fact that a sizable amount of the grassroots party views Long-Bailey as a Tory (yes, REBECCA LONG FECKING BAILEY) for supporting the measures of the Board of Deputies. But then again, these are the people that think all Je... oops, Zionists are secretly Tories anyway and accuse the BDBJ of being in the pay of the Party. Draw your own conclusions.

Jesus! I've seen delusional denial before, but not on this level!


Erm, it isn't. It's Hebrew.
Really struggling to understand what's going on in your head here.

Irrelevant to my point.


Erm... the government? Corporations? Investors?
Come on, it's really not that difficult.


No idea what you are n about here, but it sounds suspiciously conspiratorial.

1) How are the Palestinians oppressed by Israel?

2) Arabic is used on road signs and has a semi-official status https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Annava105.jpg/800px-Annava105.jpg

3) Israeli corporations? That could not be a more obvious trope.

But I guess that Human Rights Watch, Amnesty, War on Want and the UN are all "anti-semitic", eh?


Palestinian Arabic is not "the official language of Israel", as you claimed.
You have clearly never been to a country where more than one language is spoken.


For what? People who would stand to benefit from the Tories beating Labour?
Are you now saying that any reference to any Israel-based company is antisemitism? What about if I mention that Israeli hotels would benefit from peace in the Middle East? Is that antisemitic?
*smh*

Of course Israel had its part. Think about it this way, from Israel's perspective. One of your closest allies, who has previously never criticised you before, is about to elect a prolific pro Palestinian MP as prime minister. Wouldn't you, as Israel, interfere to stop this happening?

Why is it perfectly okay to suggest that Russia interferes in elections, but not Israel?

The impartiality of UN reports has to be called into question when a UN researcher accused the DWP and Sir Iain Duncan Smith of crimes against humanity.
