No, anti-semites keep proving they’re anti-Semitic over and over again, not an entire group of people, that’s a very broad and inflammatory generalisation

Do you want me to be the cat......no we want you to **** off you old dinosaur.

Not when you consider that the Labour party are currently being investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission over their inherent anti-Semitism, and following their own investigation, headed by Chakrabati, turned out to be a sham.

Jews are currently the most oppressed group in the UK if you take into consideration the size of the Jewish community, and Labour has made that acceptable. And frankly the constant denial by supporters of the Left isn't helping.

He lost the plot some time ago.

I don't understand why for some people being pro-Palestinian state must mean being antisemitic. He just showed himself up very badly.
Both nations deserve to live in peace and prosper.

Exactly like that LT. If anyone wants to talk about wild generalisations let's have a discussion about Brexit!

Exactly like that and you and others openly (and rightfully) oppose that

That's twice you've done that to me today. If I wake up screaming tonight I'm holding you responsible.

So you think Labour has no problem with anti-Semitism?

I think some members have been found to have voiced awful anti-Semitic views yes, is it a Labour problem? No, it’s a bigot problem and they’ll be rightfully weeded out under this investigation.

But spouting ‘lefties are anti-semetic’ Is just as dangerous and wrong as saying ‘all leave voters are racists’

You can’t do one and then condemn the other.

I do, often, I’m a great believer in people being allowed political opinions without being attacked or defamed

Labour held their own investigation and thought everything was fine!

I didn't "spout" anything. I said the far Left are anti-Semitic and they are. And even those who aren't - and I don't think you are anti-Semitic - do have to accept some of the blame because they defend anti-Semitism by trying to minimise it.

Isn't George a fan of the Brexit party now?

lol

This is basically the 'not all men' comment but for anti-semitism rather than sexual assault tbh

Noone means everyone in that group is antisemitic. But a considerable amunt seem to be from what we have seen. So this 'not all X' thing is..a bit daft I think. As I say to men who get offended when someone just says 'men' rather than 'some men'..basically if you are not one of the men being spoke about, I don't get the need to feel defensive. Clearly its the people who ARE an issue who are meant..not all.

Like me saying..leave voters have an issue with racism. I am clearly not saying every leave voter is racist, thats just insane. And someone replying saying 'not all leave voters' just takes us in endless circles where I would have to clarify a point that..was obvious in the first place.

Edit. https://medium.com/@KirstyStricklan/...y-f657e244f7a1 kind of explains my point more. Its a 'not all men' one though, as 'not all on the left' seems to be fairly new in comparison. Either way, its kind of pointless to point it out that not all X are X. As only an idiot would actually mean all of a group.

Also, no shock from Galloway, have seen a fair few questionable things he has said before

I mean, saying ‘the far left are anti-semetic’ Is pretty blatantly saying everyone in that group is anti-Semitic

I mean you’re right, I’m not anti-Semitic, but I’m also not far left, so can’t take account for anything unfortunately, the anti-Semitic behaviour of some people in the Labour Party and indeed the far left does need to be dealt with and this investigation is deserved, but to label a whole demographic as something is dangerous in my view, just as dangerous as the far left labelling anything after Lib Dem as racist.

And yet Julia Hartley-Gob****e is still employed there?
