I find no one on here or off here who is on the left of politics, like myself, who would in any way support anyone making a genuine anti-semitic comment from whoever or whatever party it came from.
Your almost near mission of branding 'generally' those on the left, as anti semitic is tiresome to be quite honest and I am one who is dismayed at the getting away with generalising as to same every chance you get to.

The people on the left you say, not some, not a few, not many ,not even just the hierarchy but you state above, the people on the left , your words.
well I am on the left, I am a Labour party member and I am certainly not anti semitic in any shape or form, thank you very much.

I will fight back at that as it is a very serious accusation to make against a whole grouping of people on a political side.
I have also yet to see anything where, with respect, you have denounced Boris Johnson for any of his views and stupid, careless comments.

It is wrong for anyone in Labour to make stupid, unguarded and offensive comments. MPs, members or supporters.
However that is also the case for anyone in other parties too as well, which is what the post you try to ridicule, was actually addressing.

Well said Joey, it is really disingenuous to make such generalised remarks. I had already denounced the comment but that was conveniently overlooked for the chance to suggest I was deflecting the issue.

I tend not to 'wriggle' that would infer I was some sort of worm or insect...the type that 'swarm' perhaps? I heard someone refer to semites in this way once, it seemed to pass relatively unnoticed at the time.
