I'm quite impressed with Starmers response on this. While not explicitly anti-semitic, the article does reek of the unhealthy obsession with 'the evil of Israel' which has made so many Jews think the party is hostile towards them. Many countries around the world cooperate in the training of their police forces but of course its the Israeli training that caused a Minnesota police officer to kill someone, they do control everything after all

I agree with all of this, unsurprisingly.

He'd do better to replace her with another leftie. It's good for any cabinet (government or shadow) to have balance, and it'd also show he's not trying to get rid of "Corbynites"

I actually like his appointments.

I don't think it matters which side of the party shadow appointments are.
It's good he's already shown no matter who they are.
He will act to put in place trust again, particularly on any even possible antisemitism issues.

I like Rebecca,she ought to have known better than this really.
She was at Jeremy Corbyn's side all through and saw the damage,even the slightest issue brought to him.

Grossly unfairly at times in my view.

It's surprising she even bothered with this really.
However I support Starmer's immediate action.
Really commendable.

They are both legal experts so should there be any truth to the matter that will of course come out. If not then it was the right call.

The truth will out it always does eventually.

Yes, I like Kate too.
She could shine in this post.

The extreme left's obsession with Israel is bizarre

[Crimson Dynamo]

Obsession

Now would be a good time to contribute to the thread if you have something to add. Pretty sure other fm's shouldn't be the obsessive topic of your posts. Especially in SD.

Ah its fine I don't engage... the odd 'ok' is as far as it goes usually.

What's the relevance of other wrongs that Israel has committed to this issue? Its permissable to blame Israel for George Floyd's death because of their actions in the West Bank?

The Tories literally erected a statue of a famous antisemite, where was the outrage?
