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.

If he is so squeaky clean,just where does the dirt come from to dig up
