Clearly you have different Jewish friends to me, I spend a lot of time with them and they do not like Corbyn at all but they saw no wrong in this statement,in fact they go further, they actually have said for many years I ahve known them, Jewish people generally should not be tarnished with the actions of the Israeli govt.

Frankly,I support Israel and always have done, on here and off here, so please don't presume to even try to lecture me on this issue just because you have Jewish friends who think what he said offensive.
My Jewish friends are no less equal as to views than yours.

However when I talk to people as to Corbyn, I come from the angle of not blaming him for everything and I do not see him as any terrorist sympathiser either.
Oddly enough,seemingly coming from that non prejudicial view of him, in that I do not find the hostility to him that you and your friends appear to have.

You are over-reacting Joey. I am posting MY view just as you post yours, and NOWHERE in my post do I 'lecture you' OR claim that my 'Jewish friends' are more 'equal ' than your 'Jewish friends -- even TYPING that seems so infantile.

Of course it is 'my view' because it is me posting what I THINK - that being so, and in the absence of any claim by me in my post that I am posting 'FACT', then your opening statement is redundant.

It is also WRONG, because there is nothing in my post that could be construed as 'inflammatory terminology' - especially when compared to what Corby said.

Incidentally, I am not one of those people - the majority on her I feel - who blindly accepts a premise that Israel is at FAULT for what is occurring in that region, because the TRUTH is very complex and I could fill 15 threads on here about what I know from DECADES of research on Israel.

Just yesterday, a 13 year old Israeli girl - an American Citizen - was stabbed to death by a Palestinian as she slept in her own bedroom.
