If he did however unsavory it is just a fact, there was no suggesting that anything he did or said subsequently was right.
This infighting is a bit convenient for the tories atm isn't it, Corbyn for me has dealt with it without bluster or arm flailing as is I would have thought, the manner expected of a party leader.

The Hitler comment is by the by. The fact is that Livingstone supported and made excuses for Shah, and showed his true feelings - that anti-Semitism is acceptable because of Israel. A convenient excuse. Typical that non-Jews are going to argue the toss over whether Hitler was a Zionist or not. Hitler's initial intentions, whatever they were, were scrubbed out by his orchestration of the Holocaust.
The in-fighting may be convenient for the Tories but that isn't the issue. And to suggest it is just deflects the question. Because it happened. And the fact it happened is testament to the fact that the Left has been exposed as having a wide anti-Semitic element.
I'm interested but not surprised that some non-Jews on the Left seem to find Corbyn's handling of this acceptable. Perhaps Jews can wait for the nod in future... if gentiles aren't offended, then we won't be either.
