View Full Version : Secret antissemtic
Because he hasn't personally gone anything it's always this guilt by association that is constantly referred to. Personally what has HE done?
Is actively supporting, sympathising and being great friends with the murderers of innocents 'nothing' in your eyes? Is letting antisemitism run rampant in his party for years and doing nothing about it 'nothing' in your eyes?
Is it all 'nothing' because he didn't plant a bomb himself? When he showed his own inner antisemitism, his excuse is 'I didn't know! I didn't do it'! 'I didn't look properly! So that's okay then, never mind that's its either a lie or it shows him as a bumbling idiot not fit to be a back bencher never mind lead the country.
The point is - its about who and what he encourages, condones, champions and lies about.
I find it pretty hard to believe that anyone who thinks terrorism or anti-Semitism is being used just to smear Corbyn actually takes terrorism or anti-Semitism seriously, or cares about the victims of either.

I appreciate that antisemitism is the topic yet it is not the only form of abuse that infests our political system is it? Why must we ignore one to focus entirely on another?...
Define 'worse than ever' Worse than when... did it not exist prior to Corbyn becoming leader, in any party?
We have antisemitism in the UK, it is confined to comments, tweets , FB comments and this ill considered mural.
Compare that to the antisemitism across Europe and America.... There is no comparison is there, why are we not focusing on the very real threat from the far right?

https://news.sky.com/story/jeremy-corbyn-criticised-for-meeting-radical-group-jewdas-amid-anti-semitism-row-11314813
Jeremy Corbyn has been plunged into a new anti-Semitism row with Labour MPs after attending an event with members of a left-wing group hostile to mainstream Jewish organisations.
The Labour leader's office confirmed he attended a gathering in his Islington North constituency organised by a radical group called Jewdas to mark the Jewish feast day of Seder.
His attendance at the event was immediately condemned by Labour MPs and came only hours after he said in a TV interview he would not tolerate any anti-Semitism in the party.
But Jewdas has been attacked by Labour MPs after criticising last week's Parliament Square demonstration against anti-Semitism in Labour, which was attended by dozens of MPs of all parties.
The group said allegations linking Mr Corbyn to anti-Semitism were "the work of cynical manipulations by people whose express loyalty is to the Conservative Party and the right wing of the Labour Party".
Condemning Mr Corbyn for attending the Jewdas gathering, Labour MP John Woodcock tweeted: "This is deliberately baiting the mainstream Jewish community days after they pleaded with him to tackle anti-Semitism.
"And he must know that meeting them now will give his members the message that the group's extreme views are OK. Irresponsible and dangerous."
Another Labour MP, Angela Smith, tweeted: "Corbyn's attendance at the Jewdas Seder reads as a blatant dismissal of the case made for tackling anti-Semitism in Labour. #Enoughis Enough."
Mr Corbyn was also criticised by the Campaign Against Antisemitism.
Its chairman Gideon Falter said: "Given the anti-Semitism crisis engulfing the Labour Party, there is absolutely no way that Mr Corbyn can claim that this too was an oversight.
"Following the events of the past few weeks and indeed the past three years, this is a very clear two fingered salute at mainstream British Jewry.
"It is hard to imagine how this duplicitous man can claim to be remedying anti-Semitism within the Labour Party.
"The party must consider the message that is sent to British Jews and other minorities by him remaining as leader."

I rest my case.. this is now less about the Jewish community and what their feelings are... (Jewdas being a Jewish group) it is now an entirely politicised move to oust the Labour leader.

It is a malicious ploy to remove the leader of the Opposition and put a stop to the possibility of a socialist government.”

Jewdas is a Jewish diaspora group based in London. It describes itself as a "radical' and is described by The Jewish Chronicle as a "Jewish diaspora group, known for its far-left anti-Zionism." It has a satirical-communal website and stages events in London and elsewhere. It is a secretive organisation based upon anarchistic lines

They are NOT representative of ordinary Jews or mainstream Jewish organisations and are fanatically anti-Israel, and, if anything, are even not-so-covertly anti-Semitic in essence.
Even the name - Jewdas - is a glaring pun on Judas.
Corbyn's very public affiliation with them is nothing more than an arrogant and cynical 'two fingers' gesture to those who are urging him to rectify the rampant anti-Semitism within the nest of anti-Patriotic, anti-Democratic, Britain-Detesting, Treacherous Vipers which was ONCE the great British Labour Party.

It's hard to describe Jewdas as "good people" when they describe themselves as a radical group who oppose capitalism and want to overthrow the state, say that Israel needs to be disposed of, and labelled the editor of the Jewish Chroniclea "non-Jew".

Corbyn obviously likes them, so his sheep will follow.
Jewish Leadership Council:
“His actions so far do not match up to his words… The fact is that his first act following that is to go to a dinner last night with an organisation who on Thursday published a letter saying that this was all smears against Jeremy Corbyn and saying that this was a right-wing conspiracy to stop him becoming the Prime Minister of this country. The issue is the message he is sending to the community… The first act that he has done towards the community speaks volumes… the mainstream leaders were booed as their names were stated at last night’s dinner at which Jeremy Corbyn was present… Surely it cannot have been sensible, if Jeremy wishes to build bridges with the community, for the first act to be attending a dinner with people who are so hostile.”
Jewish Labour Movement:
“Jeremy Corbyn’s decision to spend his evening with an organisation that said “F *** you ” to Jews who have serious and well founded concerns over antisemitism within the Labour Party, has truly topped off the worst week on record of awful relations between the Labour Party and the Jewish community. When we called on the Leader of our Party to show moral leadership, and take decisive action to stamp out antisemitism, this is not what we had in mind. Jewish Party activists have spent the weekend knocking on doors for local candidates for Council elections across the country. They do not deserve the indignity of our Leader making this situation even worse.”
Board of Deputies:
“[Jewdas] refer to antisemitism in Labour as a smear. If Jeremy Corbyn goes to their event how can we take his stated commitment to be an ally against antisemitism seriously?”
Holocaust Educational Trust:
“It was clearly deliberate. No question of intent. Mocking. And disrespectful.”
Jewish Chronicle:
“At the very time when Jeremy Corbyn is claiming to be “an ally” in the fight against antisemitism, when he is issuing finely worded statements about his commitment to that fight, the one group he chooses to endorse by his presence just days after the mainstream Jewish community protested about his refusal to take antisemitism seriously is the group that last week issued a statement dismissing the idea that there is any serious issue around antisemitism in the Labour Party… This is of course a pattern to his excuses. He didn’t see. He was unaware. He didn’t know. It’s always variations on that theme, and they are always and obviously sophistry. Mr Corbyn knew exactly what he was doing last night. And we should draw our own conclusion about his good faith in claiming to be an ally in the fight about antisemitism within his own party.”

Perhaps we should all remind ourselves before condemning one type of Jew over the other, that it didn't matter if you were a Left or Right leaning Jew during the holocaust.
They always say, don't mix religion with politics but here we all are going round in circles. I've read, what could be considered, some really antisemitic remarks on here today regarding Left wing Jews and yet its appears to be okay to do that because they are Left wing and don't support the a modern political goal, Zionism. the irony!!

In 1812 The British Government designated Jewdas to be the sole representative body for British Jews. We fulfil our role of being the voice for Anglo-Jewry by writing funny tweets, holding great parties and passing on the memes which we receive from God, via Geoffrey Cohen.
We have been campaigning against antisemitism on the Left and the Right for many years. We have run antisemitism workshops in such far-flung corners of Marseille and Bloomsbury, opposed neo-Nazi demos in Stamford Hill and Golders Green. Produced and distributed information on how to criticize Israel withut being anti-Semitic, demonstrated against left-anti-Semite Gilad Atzmon and most importantly mercilessly took the piss out of Ken Livingstone. You could call us trend setters.
We are thrilled to be getting so much attention and that Stephen Pollard was forced to admit we are legitimate part of the Jewish community.
So its not only a well established community but its a politically and historically recognized one.
I couldn't find anything unsavory so Pollard must of trawled through every single poster on that site to come up with what he did. There's some nasty trolling going on. People trying to wind Jews up but all in all its a very pleasant site to go on and I will use it with the respect it deserves.

So Jews are good people providing they are the sort of Jews you have a political affiliation with.
Ok!?!
You will do well NOT to make statements which 'put words into my mouth' and MISREPRESENT what I write - SOMETHING which is becoming habitual with you where my posts are concerned.
In addition to several white British friends, I have also great, genuine, and close friendships with quite a few Jewish people in Manchester and London, Pakistani Muslims and Sikhs in Huddersfield West Yorkshire, some Indians in West London, several Polish and Albanians in South Yorkshire, West Indians and Afro-Carribeans in Leeds, West Yorkshire, and members of the LGBT community throughout various parts of the UK - NONE of which clouds me to the facts that not ALL of their race, type, or ethnicity are nice, decent human beings.
I have ALWAYS stated on here whenever I have slated Islamic Terrorists or Benefit Scroungers for example, that I am NOT referring to ALL Muslims or GENUINE Benefit Claimants, and it is exactly the same with Jews - NOT ALL Jews are good, decent people and Jewdas is certainly neither good or decent.
Unlike your good self, I do NOT slavishly follow ANY political party and I am NOT BLIND to bad politicians of ALL persuasions NOR bad people of ALL races, ethnicity or creed, and my liking of GOOD JEWS is - as my liking of GOOD MUSLIMS - because they are GOOD not because they are Jews.

Jewdas is a Jewish diaspora group based in London. It describes itself as a "radical' and is described by The Jewish Chronicle as a "Jewish diaspora group, known for its far-left anti-Zionism." It has a satirical-communal website and stages events in London and elsewhere. It is a secretive organisation based upon anarchistic lines

:skull:
So this Jewish group isn't Jewish enough for you, or too 'radical' (left wing) not 'moderate' (right wing) enough?
Now the knives are out for the Jewish left too then it seems?.. That appears to me both shameful AND antisemitic.

They are NOT representative of ordinary Jews or mainstream Jewish organisations and are fanatically anti-Israel, and, if anything, are even not-so-covertly anti-Semitic in essence.
Even the name - Jewdas - is a glaring pun on Judas.
Corbyn's very public affiliation with them is nothing more than an arrogant and cynical 'two fingers' gesture to those who are urging him to rectify the rampant anti-Semitism within the nest of anti-Patriotic, anti-Democratic, Britain-Detesting, Treacherous Vipers which was ONCE the great British Labour Party.

Yeah I'd read but that doesn't really enlighten very much... I'm open to hearing what his "learning experiences" actually were, if the interest is to be transparent... I can understand someone studying a group out of curiosity in their own time... joining and then engaging them is different than studying them from afar... though sometimes people study extreme movements up close in order to study their behavior in order to circumvent, but it could be just as easily to engage their own shadow side as well, and that's the rub... if he made himself fairly accessible to these fringe philosophies, then it wouldn't seem such a stretch to think that he would may be open to entertaining how to better accommodate those interests... he is a politician with a major career after all, not just a bored citizen with too much time on their hands and not enough to do with their time... I'm sure he could've gotten the "intel" some other manner if he was interesting in putting together a taskforce, for example...
It's not like he's suddenly the face of Anti-Antisemitism. He has not placed himself antithetical to those movements from what I understand? Maybe it's me, but it seems like he's actually downplaying the venom of these belief systems, when he thought it was significant enough to want to associate with them up close and study them in person?... Unless his intention was to welcome those interactions, then he needs to explain the true reason behind that contradiction... and saying he wants to fraternize for the sake of studying is like saying, I'm the boyfriend and I want to go into my girlfriend's room to study with her because I want to "encourage" her dedication towards her education... too much secrecy there and I think good reason to be concerned with what he was actually up to while in those spaces.
Trump was raked over the coals for not outright condemning the "alt-right" Charlottesville Nazis and with good reason. He didn't immediately clarify that position and so it seemed he was supporting the extremists at the same time as the peaceful protesters (especially when it was uniquely organized by extremists)...and yet he expects the other party to take criticism for their acceptance of Antifa, for example? That's why we can't entertain leadership whose interests appear to be divided... Hillary Clinton had this defect, and that's one of the main reasons she lost the election, was because she was a terrible candidate in this way... they must be clear what we are supporting, not only in their words, but through actions... wanting to have their cake and eat it too is the definition of corruption... and is also another reason why voter apathy is so high here...

No doubt Corbyn was already in that group and he most certainly has a good grasp on Israel, Zionism and the Left. Early in his campaign he suggested the British government stopped supporting and funding Israel as he see's it as an apartheid. He doesn't want to get rid of the state of Israel, he just doesn't want this country to support a people that are oppressing others. Corbyn is a man who hates racism and oppression and so he will stick to his guns on this regardless of what the press throw at him. He's up against a power house that will do everything they possibly can to stop him gaining power and perhaps they. We'l just have to see if this rabid press pays off.
So he attended a Left wing anti-Zionist gathering because of the way he swings regarding Israel.

Jewdas insisted that the furore over Corbyn and antisemitism in the Labour party were just smears and booed when members names where called out who had attended the recent antisemitism protest at their seder with Corbyn!!! So I doubt they are at all proficient in delivering proper antisemitism training. I guess you agree with them though as you have joined?

we are a group of British Jews who are deeply proud of being Jewish. We have always put humour and satire at the heart of what we do – because, frankly, politics and religion are far too dull otherwise. But don’t be mistaken: we are completely serious about what we do.
Since 2005, we have attempted to build a community based around activist, socialist and diasporist Judaism in the UK. While most of us are also active in our local synagogues and other Jewish cultural organisations, only together have we felt able to build the kind of freethinking, traditionally radical Judaism that is needed in the 21st century.'
When this year a friend and constituent of Jeremy Corbyn invited him to attend, he accepted the invitation. He came, bringing horseradish from his own allotment for use on the communal seder plate (the horseradish symbolises the bitterness the Israelites experienced as slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt). He sat attentively through a four-hour event, agreeing gamely to read the Elijah’s cup section when asked. He participated fully, and chatted afterwards to many attendees. We were very happy to have him as a guest, and he was happy to join us.
In a normal situation, you might think that the leader of the opposition attending a seder with a group of 100 young, committed Jews might be a simple good news story. But if you’re determined to brand Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite, it seems that literally any story will do.
We have grown used to being smeared as self-hating Jews. But labelling us a source of “virulent antisemitism” as the Board of Deputies leader, Jonathan Arkush, did today is seriously scraping the barrel. The truth is, we love Judaism and Jewish culture, as every one of our events demonstrates.
The idea that there is a “mainstream Jewish community” is a fiction, promoted by a group of self-selecting individuals and institutions who have run out of ideas. There are approximately 300,000 Jews in Britain, with a huge diversity of religious and political ideas represented among them.
No single organisation can speak for us all. To claim that we in Jewdas are somehow not real Jews is offensive, and frankly antisemitic. Chag Sameach to everyone – wishing you all a happy Passover. May we use this festival to liberate ourselves from all oppression and stand up for justice everywhere.'

I’m baffled by this, on two fronts.
1. Why would Mr Corbyn go there, especially after the last couple of weeks?
2. Where do all these nutters come from?
( plus omitted 'wikiguido' :/)
Erm.....
'David Irving, the controversial historian helping the Sunday Times with a serialisation of the diaries of Joseph Goebbels, returned to Britain from Moscow yesterday and attended a seminar organised to question the facts of the Holocaust.'
'Mr Irving blamed the controversy on rival historians jealous of his latest coup and reiterated to reporters his view that Auschwitz 'was undoubtedly a brutal slave labour camp but it wasn't a factory of death. The gas chambers were a figment of British propaganda.'
'As disclosed last week by The Independent, Mr Irving had been in Moscow on behalf of the Sunday Times preparing a translation of what is thought to be the only complete version of the diaries of Hitler's propaganda minister. He has been criticised as an unsuitable person to handle such material and the Sunday Times, which is paying him a six-figure sum, has been criticised for employing him.'
The serialisation of the diaries is due to begin next week. Yesterday The Independent on Sunday asked the editor of the Sunday Times, Andrew Neil, about the claims of a Swiss citizen, Francois Genoud, to copyright over Goebbels's writings. Mr Genoud is an admirer of Hitler and is associated with Nazi causes.
Mr Neil said that if Mr Irving and Mr Genoud had reached any arrangement over Mr Irving's intended book on Goebbels, that was Mr Irving's affair. But the paper had not dealt and would not deal with Mr Genoud and would never pay him money. Mr Genoud may have had a past in the Nazi party: 'We're not talking about an amateur Nazi like Irving here,' said Mr Neil.

From the same article...
A leaflet advertising the seminar said it was organised by a group of students of Second World War history to 'consider the Holocaust'.
The leaflet stated: 'As a result of Jewish media control, most Britons are unaware that in recent years a growing number of 'Revisionist' historians . . . have formed the opinion that while anti-Jewish atrocities were perpetuated by the Germans during the war, the core 'Holocaust' story that six million Jews were systematically exterminated in gas chambers and then incinerated in ovens, cannot be sustained . . .'
The demonstrators discovered the venue for yesterday's seminar by following guests from a rendezvous at a West End hotel. The guests had been vetted by the British National Party, which was thought to have helped to organise the meeting.
The demonstration had been arranged in protest at the seminar, but some of the anger was directed at Mr Neil. The organisers, the Campaign Against Fascism in Europe, described Mr Irving as 'probably the world's leading apologist for Hitler' and said he was regarded by open fascists throughout Europe as 'the Fuhrer'. A leaflet handed to passers-by said: 'His ideas are being enormously boosted by Andrew Neil, who is either an absolute idiotic donkey or only interested in his circulation figures'.

Who would blame them. Its like jumping into a pit of hungry vultures and they would be totally outnumbered, their words attacked regardless by people who clearly have only one agenda. If you go on The Daily Mirror or The Independent and Politico comment section or if you go on sites like Digital Spy, people are having open dialogues and so are able to talk frankly without being chased out and laughed at. On here it feels more like the Daily Mail comment section. This is a hugely emotive topic and one where people are heavily frowned upon and are totally outnumberd if they dare disagree.

Ok, I'll give my thoughts on Corbyn so you have it in black and white.
I don't believe Corbyn has a racist bone in his body. He's big on human rights and that's why he's been vocal about Israel/Palestine. I think some of his party have made foolish comments and should be treated appropriately (sacked or heavily reprimanded).
Nearly all of this is about calling any opposition to the Israeli government, "anti-Semitism" a ridiculous claim as many Jews oppose not only Netanyahu and his policies, but also oppose Zionism and the existence of Israel as a state. Corbyn has never opposed an Israeli state. What he's opposed is Israel, supported by the West, controlling four and a half million Arab Muslims by military force. He opposes the apartheid and the continual land grabs. He opposes the breaking of the UN resolution. He opposes the bastardization one of the pillars (I think its the third) of the IDF which is 'assassination' that should only ever be used as a preventative measure when under dire threat but is now being used at youths who throw stones. He opposes the use of human shields. He opposes the partition wall in the West Bank that prevents 36,000 people from accessing essential services and violates international law on every level.
Many people, Jews included oppose all of these things but Corbyn was a voice and I firmly believe that's why he's being demonized now. We are moving towards the next elections and the nasty party had a cunning plan up their sleeve.
In some ways I'm furious with Corbyn. He's had to back track and appologize for the sake of damage limitation but apologizing feeds the thoughts of those who believe he's guilty of some heinous crime. He's deleted thousands of supportive tweets, not because they are racist in anyway but because they don't support Israel and could be used as further fodder against him.
The press have dug up so much dirt on Corbyn because the baying crowd on the Right buy the papers with the juiciest Corbyn slurs. The Israeli propaganda machine is going hell for leather and people are leaving his party, not because of the slurs but because they are seeing Corbyn's weakness in all of this. They wanted, expected even that he would fight fire with fire. He didn't and that could be his demise.
So I congratulate the Tories who've done probably one of the best assassinations I've ever seen.

Lets get one thing straight because your undertone suggests I'm anti-Semitic and coming from you, that holds a mighty punch.
I have nothing against your Jewish affiliation and I don't regard your Zionism as part and parcel of your religion. I'm sure you will argue with that but my stance remains, Zionism is a political movement and not a religious one. A lot of Jews would agree with me; a lot wouldn't. Its no different than disliking one political movement over another. I also appreciate that there's a Left wing Zionist movement in Israel. You can be a Zionist and support an independent state alongside Israel and see the Left Bank occupation as tragic but the Zionist Federation Refuses to Accept Left-wing pro-Israel Movement. In other words they have no voice.
So lets leave Zionism out of things and concentrate on the political think tanks both in Israel and globally instead of intertwining Judaism in all of this because when we intertwine Judaism, you can make accusations of anti-Semitism on here and be believed by all those people on your side. You need to stop using your faith as a weapon to stop political thinkers questioning truths.
Another thing, after reading numerous work from young IDF soldiers I got a very strong impression that their families were totally unaware about just how badly Palestinian families are treated. They live in a utopia and don't see what goes on because the horrors are so well concealed. I believe many Zionists would be horrified if and when they discover all is not as it appears.

Nobody is squeaky clean. Just about every MP and Lord sitting in parliament could have some dirt dug up about them if journalists were prepared to spend the time. That though wouldn't sell newspapers.
I believe the majority can see this for what it is. Its an out and out assassination by a very clever and equally cunning right wing think tank. Most liberal minded people stopped reading this mountain of attacks after the first few prints and that's why some liberal papers dropped the subject or just made some small mention of it without making it a headline. Right wing papers have continued because the Right wing buy their papers but remember, its not the Right that vote for Corbyn.

Ok, I'll give my thoughts on Corbyn so you have it in black and white.
I don't believe Corbyn has a racist bone in his body.
^ Some people 'BELIEVE' that the Earth is 'Flat' and others that the moon is made of 'Green Cheese' and they do so DESPITE overwhelming FACT-BASED evidence to the contrary.
Corbyn is IRREFUTABLY anti-Semitic.
Corbyn DEFINES himself as anti-Semitic by his OWN words and his OWN deeds.
His own SELF-DAMNING words and deeds have been on record for decades and the motivations of the many different people or organisations who are now bringing this record 'to light' is totally irrelevant - only the TRUTH matters.
Corbyn himself has left that long record of his anti-Semitism just as surely as 'Man Friday' left his footprint in the sand of Robinson Crusoe Island, and NO ONE who is now retracing that long record has INVENTED or DISTORTED the facts, they are merely reporting those facts.
'THE IRREFUTABLE TRUTH ON THIS MATTER IS OUT THERE' and no amount of whitewashing or smoke-screening or inane denying by fanatical Corbyn supporters can CHANGE that truth because 'that bell has rung'.
"He's big on human rights and that's why he's been vocal about Israel/Palestine."
^ Corbyn keeps 'Human Rights' in his toolbox. It is such a useful tool to have handy, but must only to be used for the 'Right Job' and in Corbyn's case that is almost exclusively any situation which concerns ONLY those people whose CAUSES he ESPOUSES - usually Palestinians and Terrorists.
Is there ONE example ON RECORD of Corbyn being 'Big on Human Rights' or even having SYMPATHY for the thousands of Israeli's - the MAJORITY of them unarmed innocent civilian men, women AND children - killed and wounded by Palestinian Terrorist attacks in Israel?
'Being vocal about Israel/Palestine' is one thing, but being EQUITABLE in that vociferosity and basing that vociferosity on the TRUTH and hard FACTS is quite another, and EVERYTHING which Corbyn has to say on 'Israel/Palestine' is propaganda tailored to advance is own skewed PRO-PALESTINIAN agenda.
" I think some of his party have made foolish comments and should be treated appropriately (sacked or heavily reprimanded)".
^ "Foolish comments"? Is this the UNDERSTATEMENT of the year?:
Jackie Walker, a vice chair of Momentum - APOLOGISED for:
Denigrating security provision at Jewish schools. Make false claims about the universality of National Holocaust Memorial Day. Challenging accepted definitions of anti-Semitism.
Gerry Downing:
911 terrorist murderers 'Must never be condemned".
It is time to "wrestle with the 'Jewish Question'.
Vicky Kirby:
https://i2.wp.com/order-order.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/vicki.png?resize=540%2C344&ssl=1
Tony Greenstein:
Made repeated "offensive comments online; offensive posts and comments on his blog; and an email in which he mocked the phrase ‘final solution.’ and repeatedly written blog posts and social media posts attacking senior Labour figures, including Jewish leaders in the party, and referring to Jewish activists as “Zios,” an anti-Semitic term used to describe supporters of Israel"
The list GOES ON AND ON - as you well KNOW - which is why over 50 Labour Pary members have been expelled for 'Unacceptable anti-Semitism' though some have been 'let back in' - and most political experts, including some Labour Party 'moderates', believe this figure to be merely the 'tip of the iceberg'.
So to describe this great UNACCEPTABLE number of Labour Party anti- Semitics as 'SOME', and to categorise their UNACCEPTABLE vile anti-Semitism as mere 'FOOLISH COMMENTS' is ludicrous and misleading.
"Nearly all of this is about calling any opposition to the Israeli government, "anti-Semitism" a ridiculous claim as many Jews oppose not only Netanyahu and his policies, but also oppose Zionism and the existence of Israel as a state."
^ Perhaps you would clarify just what you mean when you write; "Nearly all of this"?
If you mean the many revelations about Corbyn's decades-long dubious conduct then it is most certainly NOT 'nearly all about calling any opposition to the Israeli government anti-Semitism' or any other point which you seek to raise concerning Israel.
It is ABOUT Jeremy Corbyn and the RAMPANT and PROVEN and ADMITTED anti-Semitism which festers within the now malevolent core of his Labour Party, and bringing Israel into the thread is a mere if glaringly transparent attempt at deflection.
Incidentally, you are WRONG in your skewed statements about Israel and such a complex topic demands its own thread, so should you wish to initiate one I will GLADY contribute to it.
"Corbyn has never opposed an Israeli state. What he's opposed is Israel, supported by the West, controlling four and a half million Arab Muslims by military force. He opposes the apartheid and the continual land grabs. He opposes the breaking of the UN resolution. He opposes the bastardization one of the pillars (I think its the third) of the IDF which is 'assassination' that should only ever be used as a preventative measure when under dire threat but is now being used at youths who throw stones. He opposes the use of human shields. He opposes the partition wall in the West Bank that prevents 36,000 people from accessing essential services and violates international law on every level".
^ Virtually ALL the above is inaccurate, totally PRO-PALESTINIAN propaganda and as stated above needs to be debated under its OWN thread topic.
"Many people, Jews included oppose all of these things but Corbyn was a voice and I firmly believe that's why he's being demonized now. We are moving towards the next elections and the nasty party had a cunning plan up their sleeve."
^ Corbyn was most CERTAINLY a 'VOICE', one which has been recorded on numerous occasions referring to evil TERRORIST organisations such as Hamas and Hezbollah as “friends,” and repeatedly and often UNJUSTLY criticising the Israeli government, in addition to gushing support for the IRA as well as the Palestinian Authority and diverse anti-Semitic individuals AND Groups, and this being IRREFUTABLY true, then no one but Corbyn himself has DEMONISED Corbyn.
The 'Nasty Party' - is this play on word phonetics mere accident? If not, I would suggest that the term is better suited to the Labour Party given the irrefutable hatred by some of their members towards Jewish people.
However, as far as any 'cunning plan' up anyone's 'sleeve' I will say again that it is totally IRRELEVANT what the motives are of anyone reporting on Corbyn's unacceptable and highly dubious conduct or the unacceptable anti-Semitism within his Labour Party, and this also applies if the Tory Party or Right Wing ARE opportunistically seizing on these facts to capitalise from them.
If Man Friday had NEVER walked on that beach, Crusoe could NEVER have discovered his footprint.
"In some ways I'm furious with Corbyn. He's had to back track and appologize for the sake of damage limitation but apologizing feeds the thoughts of those who believe he's guilty of some heinous crime.
^ Defendants who have been caught for a string of crimes OFTEN apologise to the Criminal Court just before they are due to be sentenced.
This 'apology' has more to do with a desperation to remain at liberty than it has genuine remorse for the crimes.
And so it is with Comrade Jeremy; he has indeed 'backtracked' AND 'apologised', but it has ZILCH to do with any remorse or regret for the unacceptable things which he has said and done and is indeed ALL to do with 'Damage Limitation', because he is DESPERATE to become Prime Minister of this country and he realizes that the chances of that desire now becoming a reality are diminishing by the hour.
"He's deleted thousands of supportive tweets, not because they are racist in anyway but because they don't support Israel and could be used as further fodder against him."
^ :laugh2: Sorry, but the above really does beggar belief.
He has 'deleted thousands of supportive tweets' NOT because they are innocuous, but OBVIOUSLY specifically because they are DAMNING and WILL be used 'as further fodder against him."
Did you perchance consult Hilary Clinton and her former cronies when you wrote the above?
"The press have dug up so much dirt on Corbyn because the baying crowd on the Right buy the papers with the juiciest Corbyn slurs."
^ Absolute TOSH. What has been reported about Corbyn are FACTS, not allegations or 'Slurs', and NO ONE who is intelligent and learned enough to be able to actually READ, buys ANY newspaper SPECIFICALLY because it has the 'juiciest Corbyn slurs'.
"The Israeli propaganda machine is going hell for leather and people are leaving his party, not because of the slurs but because they are seeing Corbyn's weakness in all of this. They wanted, expected even that he would fight fire with fire. He didn't and that could be his demise."
^ Are you SERIOUSLY claiming that the 'ISRAELI'S' are responsible for the series of revelations of Corbyn's appalling conduct?
Are you SERIOUSLY claiming that 'people are leaving his party' because of their perceived weakness in how Corbyn has REACTED to his critics and NOT because of their disdain for his ACTIONS in committing all these offensive and wholly unacceptable offences in the first place?
Corbyn has been grovellingly - almost obsequiously - apologetic in his reaction to these revelations because even he KNOWS that THEY ARE ALL TRUE.
He DID it. He JOINED those anti-Semitic Organisations. He SPOUTED all those 'Terrorist-Loving' words. He gushingly SUPPORTED the IRA and Hamas and Hezbollah. He SUPPORTED anti-Semitic artists and Holocaust Deniers.
His 'DEMISE' will NOT be that he did not react like a Hawk to those criticising him for his actions, his demise will be because he PERPETRATED those actions.
"STOP PRESS. JUDGE DISMISSES YORKSHIRE RIPPER PETER SUTCLIFFE'S CRIMES BUT JAILS HIM ANYWAY FOR NOT STANDING UP TO THOSE CRITICISING THOSE CRIMES"
"So I congratulate the Tories who've done probably one of the best assassinations I've ever seen."
^ Come off it, You should be congratulating Comrade Corbyn for committing one of the best political Hara Kiris ever seen instead.
All in my opinion of course.

It really feels like you're on a mission and yet you are so wrong about so much. Whilst some on here may believe you and whilst the Right wing government and Right wing Israel would happily cheer you on, people to the Left including Jews won't.
I first saw Corbyn as the main speaker against the war in Iraq rally. He was vocal and passionate and told us what we already guessed, the truth. It turned out he was right.
It doesn't matter how many times you insist Corbyn is anti-Semitic, it won't make it true. Some people believe Israel is the persecuted country and people like the Holy Land five are guilty of terrorism. This are the sort of people Corbyn tries to seek justice for along with a lot of Jewish people who don't sit to the Right. You believe the facts Israel puts out. I don't and neither does Corbyn.
The irrefutable truth is, Corbyn stands with those who are being persecuted and stands against those who oppress them, regardless of their faith. People like you, people who hate Corbyn, will use that as a weapon of antisemitism and even use antisemitism to gain brownie points. Look a little deeper Kirk. Learn both sides of this conflict and not just one side. Learn about Zionism from not only from the Jews who support it but from the Jews who don't because only then can you come to some sort of level headed understanding.
You ask me to clarify what I mean but it would take all day and longer. Better you just listen to the words of an Israeli Jew, when you have the time and if you can be bothered.
This is about the HolyLand five. The sort of people you call terrorists

I do not claim that Israel is blameless in this complex matter but nor do I align with the 'Palestinian' 'cause' after DECADES of interest and research into the whole Israel issue.
As for your claims, it does not matter because neither of us is going to be swayed into changing our opinions or allegiances because of the others claims, which makes the whole point of further debating this issue all rather futile.
As for posting video clips which support your stance, I could FILL a hundred threads with similar which support mine - so again, all rather futile.
So until there is a dedicated Israel/Palestine thread I suggest that we both return to the topic of Corbyn and anti-Semitism within his Labour Party.

"Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

The IHRA definition of antisemitism is being used to muzzle free speech on Israel/Palestine and on Zionism as a political ideology, which like any other political ideology can be supported or rejected and should be open to question.
We consider the IHRA definition/statement to be potentially dangerous for Jews. If opposition to Israeli policy and state action can be defined as “antisemitic” in such a manipulative way, then those who rightly continue to stand up for Palestinian rights might start to doubt the credibility of the label “antisemite”. Actions targeting the Israeli state may spread to more general Jewish targets, and genuinely antisemitic statements and actions may be taken less seriously.

Its not just Jewdas though is it, its all non-Zionist Jews. Why do Zionists get to make the rules on what anti-Semitism is? Judaism is a faith, not an political movement but you clearly support the political movement and **** the rest.
Seeing as how they are a tiny nutjob fringe group anyway, if they do clam up they will NOT be missed.
You clearly didn't watch those videos I posted because if you had you would know you're talking bollox. What about the masses of Jews who are third-forth generation Israelis? The ones who fully recognize what's going on and want democracy for the Palestinians as well as the Jews. The ones who resent the land grabs for new Jewish settlers whilst more Arabs suffer to make way for them. Are they not allowed a voice either because if they are seen to protest the present regime its heavily frowned upon and seen as un-Zionist.
Incidentally, you always use the word Zionism as if it was a 'bad smell' - just what is your definition of the word?
Its a political organization that has ruled and conquered a land. Its not Judaism but it has been adopted by many Jews as their right of passage to return to Zion and a belief that to be a Jew is to be an Isralite (even though there's no anthropologist on this earth who knows what happened to the ten tribes of Israel. So they can't trace their heritage back to Israel, even if they've been persuaded they can).
Zionism was an idea that started in the late 1800's and didn't take hold until 1948 when there were thousands of displaced refugees but even then it was heavily frowned upon by most Jews. When the US opened its door to some of those refugees it was suggested by the Zionist party that instead they should be sent to Israel but when they first invited people to go and settle in Israel, most declined.
It grew and it spread. With help from Western governments it conquered pillaged and took a land and segregated large portions that was previously occupied by Arabs and other faiths including Jews.
Zionists believe they have the right of passage and non Zionists are no different than nearly all Jews before the 1950s. Non Zionists believe that Zionism takes away all the fundamental good of what is a beautiful religion... Judaism.
So no, they are not nutters and honestly, I find that hugely insulting.
Let me make one thing clear. I don't think most Zionists are bad people. I think most Zionists are good Jews who are either unaware or have little interest in what's gone on and what's still going on. But people are starting to become aware; There are huge movements in Israel thats starting to ask the right questions and so like Peled says, if there is going to be changes it won't be a change of Israeli government or a new American president. It will be a grass routes change and this apartheid will cease to be.

If you are a Zionist then non-Zionist Jews are often seen as anti-Semitic, even if the Zionist is non-religious Jew and the person they are accusing of being anti-Semitic is deeply religious Jew. The IHRA supports this but what the IHRA should be reminded of is, there were very few Zionist supporters who went to the gas chambers.

They campaign for all Jews to have a voice both here in the West and within Israel. They want lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Lets look at this on a moral level or a Christian level. Is it okay for a none Jew to like and support one type of Jew and hate and put down another?
It is most certainly OK for THIS 'Non-Jew' to 'Like and support one type of Jew' when THAT one Jew is a DECENT, INTELLIGENT, EQUITABLE type of person, and most certainly OK for THIS 'Non-Jew' to DISLIKE (not HATE) and PUT DOWN another Jew when THAT other Jew is GROSS, SUBVERSIVE, ANARCHIC, OFFENSIVE, and CRASSLY INFANTILE.

except that multitudes within the labour party have acknowledged that there is a problem within their ranks. Corbyn has publicly apologised and vowed to do something about it. So it's hardly consistent to say that things are being taken out of context.
Also, given Corbyn has admitted that there is a problem, at a minimum it was foolish to meet with a jewish splinter group rather than the main jewish representation, at a maximum it was sticking 2 fingers up at the issue. People are free to decide what they want with respect to Corbyn's actions, but it's not realistic to attempt to put a positive spin on it as to do so supports the concept of anarchy which flies in the face of supporting him to be the next PM

Of course he deviates. He's an MP, politics evolve all the time. Of course he wants to be PM, he's not doing this for the fun of it.
What is he hiding? I fully understand his beliefs, in fact his beliefs are so wide open, even when he apologized he made a point of going to visit a Left wing Jewish organization. Damn him for that all you like but the message that gave to many of us was, he is no Judas. He is not abandoning his stance on the apartheid in Israel.
Corbyn had an onslaught of bad press and accusations of anti-Semitism from New Labour post modernists; the same people who repeatedly suggest there's something wrong with Corbyn. All they actually care about is getting back power and so they had to dig deep and come up with something that could be bastardized and propagated into something that would do maximum damage and to do that they had to trawl through old archives and breathe life into old corpses.
I've already said, I don't think he should of stooped to apologizing because I don't think the leader of a democratic political party is responsible for everything within it. Surely that's autocratic? But by now the Right wing press were baying for blood and regardless of Corbyn ordering a full investigation on every issue reported, something UKIP and the Tory party have never done when it comes to some very real racism within the ranks.

I don't know who the numpties are who want to put an end to Israel or who want to burn down parliament and invoke full capitalism and I don't agree with anyone who wants to abandon our royal family, so lets forget a number of anarchists this group has attracted because a) they will never achieve anything other than a bigger divide and b) disinformation cuts two ways.
Instead, why don't we try looking at the wider issues.
One group of people want something very different than the other group. One sits to the Left, one sits to the Right. Under real democracy they both have a right to a voice but because of the powers of the Right, the Left have been silenced. Secret groups and some very open groups on the Left have grown massively in number over the past decade, especially youth groups in Israel. Why is this happening? what's caused it? should they be stopped? should we listen to what they have to say? all these questions should make for a good and reasonable discussion.

I've made my views clear about Israel before. This is a subject close to my heart and so when Corbyn first stood up in parliament and spoke about Israel breaking the UN Resolution, I was all ears.

All you have as evidence are a few CAPITALS... And again you make unwarranted comments that people are 'obsessional' because they don't share your opinion.
It's not a debate, it's pushing how rude you can be to members with whom you disagree.
Of course I want to absolve Corbyn, he's an innocent man.
I am ambivalent about quite a lot of Corbyn politics but I'm not going to stand there humming whilst he's being taken down by people who twist his words to sit with their agenda. A few weeks ago he was a spy, next month he's going to be something else even more heinous. These are the things I see you ringing your hands over. You dislike Corbyn and so you're narrative will always sit with the ones who make the allegations.
I've made my views clear about Israel before. This is a subject close to my heart and so when Corbyn first stood up in parliament and spoke about Israel breaking the UN Resolution, I was all ears. For me and many others he was a brave man for speaking out. Now he's being punished but I believe, all this will bring him a lot more support than he previously had because from where I'm standing, people can see this for what it is.
You won't be able to absolve him.
There is ample evidence he was an ira supporter, there is ample evidence that he ignored anti - Semitism in the Labour party and displayed anti - semitism himself although he puts that down to 'I didn't know' I didn't realise'.
A spy? There wasn't enough proof for that one which is why it died quickly - the rest - absolutely!
He is the eternal 'opposition', he has never had the responsibility of doing anything other than 'opposing' this that or the other anti - British. Now he's reaping what he has sowed and is continuing to sow.
You can say he is an innocent man until you turn blue in the face, it won't make any difference to those who know otherwise, those who can read and comprehend the facts and aren't blinded by misplaced devotion.
BTW I read today that a poll has shown his support has fallen in the last few weeks. :shrug:
About Corbyn? You mean more reveling, more mocking to be had!
Why are you trying to shut me down. I suspect its because I've got something to say and you don't like it. I'm spoiling your fun.
Every comment channel I use are discussing this same issue and everyone is talking about the deeper issues behind what's happening but on here I'm taking it off topic.
Sometimes this place feels like kinder garden.
All you are doing is trying to justify and excuse Corbyn and his close Labour cronies saying and doing the disgusting things they were about Jews.

Are you referring to my post 'Jewish guy saved my day'? I said that the guy 'looked Jewish' but so he did and so he was, and the term 'looking Jewish' is NOT anti-semitic.
My post and that phrase is not REMOTELY anything like Corbyn's Labour Party's PROVEN anti-Semitism.

Don't tell me Kizzy was referring to your post? ffs is there something wrong in saying someone looks Jewish?
The bare faced hypocrisy of referring to one innocent sentence in a nice post and brushing off many many blatantly antisemitic comments made by members of the Labour party, many of them close to Corbyn is abominable.
Corbyn can make awful comments like the MURAL one; he can belong to many facebook groups that post disgusting antisemitic bile, he can fraternise with
a dodgy group who want to burn down Parliament and curse at the Royal family but whatever you do don't dare say that someone looks Jewish!
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Diversion tactics! There is a plethora of evidence out there, both past and present, on the questionable beliefs, words, actions and inactions of this would-be PM. He alone is responsible for that and every aspect of his character should be scrutinised, judged and held to account - it’s what he signed up for like it or not!

I think many people think of Jewish men as elderly, scolarly looking men with beards and glasses - sometimes true and sometimes not. It is just a common image often portrayed. Some are trying to make something out of nothing to stir the pot.

At the end of the day.Corbyn has massive problems in his party with antisemites and it’s debatable whether he himself is with all these internet groups he’s part of and apologies for hateful ‘art work’.
So what could he do to heal divisions?
A good start might have been to go and meet with the wider Jewish community,The leaders and try to build bridges,To make a promise to expel the rot from the party,To challenge himself and make the effort to extend an olive branch,To tell them that Labour are ready to turn over a new leaf and most importantly to send a message that the current problems of antisemitism within Labour will not be tolerated.
But what did he actually do?
He went and had dinner in a house with a group of his supporters who may or may not have questionable views.’There you go,All done.I met some Jews.Nothing else to see here.Carry on’(paraphrasing).
Not really dealing with the issue.
If nothing else.It doesn’t look as if he made much effort.

Leaked minutes show Labour at odds over antisemitism claims.
Multiple sources have alleged that suspended members who were perceived as being sympathetic to Corbyn were defended, even when the evidence against them was overwhelming.
Where did I say that?
It was a question, did you miss the question mark?
Why does it matter if someone thinks a person looks Jewish? Why are you making something out of nothing and ignoring all Corbyn and the Labour parties very obvious antisemitic slurs. Come on Kizzy, stop diverting to trivial nonsense and answer a direct question for once.

With regard the looking Jewish conversation, there are people of many faith's who wear a sort of religious uniform in clothing, headwear, even in beard style for some men that make them identifyable as being Jewish or Muslim or Mormon or Amish for instance. I don't think it was meant in an offensive way to say someone looks Jewish. Of course there are many people who don't follow a certain dress code too but there are also those who do.

Labour's Dipu Ahad has been confirmed as one of the party's candidates in next month's local elections. This man has posted numerous anti-Semitic comments and yet they're still allowing him to stand.
Imagine if he'd been accused of being anti-Muslim.
This has been a source of discussion for my family, and I'm sure many Jewish families. And the consensus is this: the scariest thing about this whole affair is how many people are willing to stand up and argue that the party does not have a problem with anti-Semitism.
We're told in the Torah that every generation of Jew will face hard trials and tribulations... well, that's one bit that it would be difficult to argue against.

I KNOW when someone is Jewish or not - especially - when I have talked to them 'up close'.
What I also KNOW, is when a thread about (NOT SO) 'Secret Anti-Semitism in the Labour Party' is being derailed and potential posts DEFLECTED not only by members causing a ridiculous hoo-ha by bringing in a question of whether I am being anti-Semitic or not because I used the innocent term 'Jewish-Looking' but also being derailed by members bringing in the non-relevant subject of Israel.
Deflection often happens because those deflecting have NO argument.
I am NOT the thread topic here and NOR is Israel.

“The Jewish community demonstrated two weeks ago to say that enough is enough," Falter said in a statement released Sunday. "Since then, matters have deteriorated further and our disciplinary complaint against Jeremy Corbyn has been met with an initial rejection that is nothing more than a hurried whitewash designed to protect Mr. Corbyn without even the formality of an investigation. We cannot stand for this. This afternoon, Jews and non-Jews alike will converge from all over Britain to demonstrate at 2 p.m. outside Labour Head Office, demanding that Labour fulfills its duty to hold Mr. Corbyn to account, and we will of course appeal Ms. Formby’s predetermined decision."
“We call for justice and justice is all that will do," he added. "Under Jeremy Corbyn, Labour has become a safe haven for racists. He is at home amongst them, having spent his political career seeking out and giving succor to Holocaust deniers, genocidal antisemitic terrorist groups and a litany of Jew-haters. Labour must lead by example and show that Jeremy Corbyn is bound by the same rules as Leader as he was as a backbencher, by investigating the disciplinary complaint we have filed against him for bringing the Party into disrepute.”

What a sad indictment of the Labour Party and Corbyn that they show such disrespect for the Jewish communities’ justified concerns they fail to address them with any real validity and to add insult to injury they put forward a known anti-semetic as a candidate for the next local elections.
The party have become a law unto themselves and clearly believe themselves to be beyond reproach. Can you imagine the total catastrophe caused by such a party in government!

It's all about context and humour. Did Corbyn think he was being funny when he posted his mural comment? I think not.
You are not really in any position to complain as you champion the man who made that disgusting remark about the mural and languidly tolerates antisemitism in the party of which he is leader.
Hypocritical much?

But Corbyn has repeatedly put it out there that anti-Semitism will not be tolerated. He then tried to reach out to the Zionist side of Judaism but was coldly rejected. Even if he had met them he wouldn't be telling them he had a change of heart regarding Israel. All he could offer them is what he's already told us all, including them; any form or racism won't be tolerated.
As for the Jewish people he met, for years he's been in full contact with non-Zionist Jews. This wasn't anything new.
The bottom line is, Corbyn doesn't sit on Zionisms political side and is therefore seen as a very real threat.

Why wouldn’t they reject him! He isn’t doing this voluntarily but to attempt to save his own neck. Do you think Jewish people are stupid? If someone had denegrated you and your religion for several decades but was now trying to deny having done so to protect their political career would you want a bar of them - I know I wouldn’t.
