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

Well, again..it would be absolutely stupid to actually mean every single person of the far left is anti Semitic. So I don't take it that way at all, hence the long (probably pointless) post about it. But, lets agree to disagree as have no energy for arguments really today, despite me basically, picking a fight there over something so small. I deal with many many 'not all men' type people and it kind of..is in my head a lot, hence picking up on that, so I probably notice 'not all X' things more than most others
