Corbyn's Antisemitism

Strange there's no discussion on TSR about this yet. Jewish leaders do not seem very happy with Jeremy at the moment.

I'm rather of the school of thought where being a member of one antisemitic facebook group can just about conceivably be seen as an accident, but being a member of several plus repeatedly voicing support for antisemites starts to look like a pattern...

Maybe Shami Chakrabarti should look into it

Though I dont actually care about anti Semitism,

Looks like a hidden agenda to help the Tories than anything tbh.

cos you fascist

You also tick the fascist box of admiring strength for it's own sake.

You want strength? Just watch us labour lefties deselect the PLP loosers anyway. XD

I don’t admire strength alone. Might doesn’t make right. But I do think it’s neccessary and healthy. I also don’t think it should be used until absoloutey neccessary.

Nuclear weapons and strong militaries have stopped more wars than any peace march and demonstration.

I wish labour would, but I doubt it.

It can be both. IF you are an anti-racist party you can not just ignore the concerns coming from jewish people.

There is an antisemitism problem on the left.

Whose hidden agenda exactly?

He noticeably hasn't apologised for his own actions though.

Cor, if that's your yardstick then Labour really are in trouble.

I rather think you represent the problem.

A sign of strength is having your enemies wrapped around your finger. Corbyn fired Owen Smith's ass as soon as he stepped out of line. Compare that to the Tory front bench. The weakness of the melts and slugs in the PLP is a sign of Corbyn's strength.

Except all the million proxy wars. Directly between super powers yes, although we have come worrying close for variouse reasons, including error. Nukes did not for example stop the vietnam war. Internal American protest and civil dissobidance helped end that war.

Me to. The PLP will be a major barrier to a load of left wing stuff. It will be the 70s all over again.

Genuine question, when the Jewish community gets upset about this stuff do you think they're making a fuss about nothing, or are they affecting offence to slander Corbyn?

Many constituencies with high Jewish populations voted Labour, but Jews make up a majority in zero constituencies. To extrapolate that to suggest most Jews must have voted Labour is a failure of mathematics. There was a poll last year saying only 13% of Jews were voting Labour, even though traditionally they've been a strong Labour group, so it has had an impact.

But your opinion is that the Jews (like Luciana Berger and the leaders of various Jewish groups) who have made clear their outrage are engaged in a campaign of slander?
