If it was just comments by Ken Livingstone, it wouldn't have been such a big deal. But when you couple it with other insults and comments to Jewish MPs and Labour supporters it is less acceptable. They are not intelligent enough to realise that Israeli and Jewish are two different things. Furthermore, if there's really no problem, why have all these people been suspended by the Labour party?

Anti-Semitism is not now, and has never been taken very seriously compared to other hate crimes. And if I feel insulted I get told on this forum that I should stop being so offended. Well, I am offended... and until Labour sorts itself out it's harming the whole of British politics because we do not have a solid opposition... and we need one.
