This is no kind of leadership. The antisemitism has been one of his biggest problems and once again he has failed to address it.

Found this interesting article today thought I'd share.
Regarding recent yougov polls.

Just because less people explicitly agree with obviously outdated stereotypes does not mean anti-Semitism has decreased. I also suspect many more would agree with the statements if you changed the word 'Jew' to 'Zionist' in the statements

Also that article is from March 2018 while a report released this week found that there had been a spike in anti-Semitic incidents in the country and in the Labour party

Saw a brief piece in Metro saying there's been 10% increase on last year
Very worrying

That is blatent whataboutism. .. what if the questions were different? You can suspect all you like it won't make it true. There has been a spike in antisemitism. ..however there has not been a spike in the labour party. You made that bit up.

Can you think of any examples of leadership in the last 3 years?

[Christmas Dynasnow]

from Corbyn i mean

[Livia]

It kind of upsets me to see people still backing Corbyn while being in possession of all the facts. The same people who always take the time tell everyone they're not anti-Semitic themselves, of course....

What facts? It would seem your facts and my facts are very different ... all this indirect accusing is getting very boring Livia.

[smudgie]

No doubt about the anti Semitism in the Labour Party. Hence the inquiry.
Corbyn does not help the situation any. A fully independent investigation is needed.
Not another Chakrabarti fiasco.
That does not however mean that all Labour members are anti Semitic, or that criticism is aimed at them personally.

Time for a regime change, Corbyn, despite a promising start, has been a weak leader and has allowed this problem to fester. He needs to go and Labour needs to be expunged of this rot.

This really is getting silly now.

Absolutely pathetic in my view Kizzy.

The problem is becoming to some, not on here I hastily add, that if Israel is criticised, that is seen by some as antisemitism.
It is not always separated.

I'd agree, Corbyn is a supporter of Palestine rights.
I wish the 2 nation set up was in place, I think it should be.

However I have always been a supporter of Israel and the difficulties it must have surrounded by Nations hostile to Israel.

I could support rights for Palestine as I could equally support rallies against condemning Israel.

If placards were held up at either claiming Palestinians or Israelis were acting like Nazis.
That's those individuals choices to be so divisive and destructive as to just causes.
Neither individuals carrying such placards are worthy of support.
It doesn't however alter the overall cause of a march.

Palestinians and Israelis are very volatile to each other.
Silly Nazi placards will never win arguments.
Nor will any using the word Nazis,in any shape or form either.

You are correct however, and in my view, this is a red herring and a very old one at that too.

Well said.

Support for Palestine doesn't equate antisemitism
You can (and should) be supporting both nations and their right to land and peace.
