Labour Party and anti semitism

Blinko, that claim no longer works, the top of the Labour Party are anti semetic

In 2012 Corbyn came to the defence of Sheikh Raed Salah and called him an honoured citizen, The year before this man was arrested by british police when he was due to speak in the house with Corbyn, this man revived the anti semetic blood libel slur that Jews cooked with childrens blood.

Labour students at oxford called Auschwitz a cash cow , they called Jewish students Zio, a neo Nazi slur, these students gave testimony of this and the NEC decided not to publish a party report, just said there had been some incidents of anti Semitic behaviour , there would be no disciplinary action.

How can some supporters of the Labour Party keep defending this man.

Of course, all this nonsense means there's no viable alternative to the present incumbents in government. The LP needs to get its collective knickers out of the present twist and get on with its primary remit of providing a challenging opposition to HMG.

Otherwise, we don't have democracy in this country. Do we?

It’s those who have taken over the LP Blinko and are behind the figurehead of Corbyn, whilst the rest of them sit around wringing their hands ( and in truth, apart from speaking out there is little they can do now) those who do speak out will be got rid of pdq.

FWIW, Ian Austin's a local MP, widely regarded as a decent and honourable man. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the current kerfuffle, I'll back Ian Austin every time. I also have the greatest regard for Ms Hodge. Chair of the PAC (I think?) she has always behaved with considerable decorum and her intellect is surely up there with the brightest.

What on earth is the LP thinking about?

A Labour Councillor has just been suspended for saying all sorts of outrageous things ( Hitler had the right idea etc)
Amongst other mad outpourings against Jewish people.
Hiw long it took for him to be suspended is unknown, but hope it was swiftly done.
Yes, it’s Momentum once again trying to get MP’s deselected for saying what they think Annie.

Yes niggly, not untill Corbyn became leader

Generally adopted? By over 100 countries , the judiciary, police force ,the government but not by Corbyn because too many of his close friends would face disciplinary action.

You never once criticise the shadow chancellor for calling fellow labour MP’s f*****g losers trisher, very pick and choose when it comes to defending Corbyn and co.

It is of course connected with the definition of anti-semitism that has been generally adopted but which does leave a number of things that remain unresolved and which has now been thoroughly investigated by the NEC . For example, is it anti-semitic to discuss and condemn the treatment of Palestinians by Israel? One of the most controversial is this ^Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis^-is anti-semitic
It seems to me that there are circumstances where this might be appropriate or at least understood, for example a Palestinian might wish to do this. Should they not have the right to use such a metaphor for the treatment they have suffered?.
And I'm sorry but if Margater Hodge wishes to use the language she did and call the leader of the Labour Party anti-semitic without giving any valid reason apart from the fact that she has Jewish ancestors then "yes" she should be disciplined. Freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to name call.

Until JC became leader annie, I was never even remotely aware of this kind of prejudice, Till now I've never given it a seconds thought. Why on earth do these people automatically gun for Jews? Are they Nazi's annie? I'm not that wild about Trump, but I don't automatically hate all Americans!! It doesn't make any sense except that despite abject denials, these people do actually hate Jews regardless of Israel!! That can be the only reason and quite frankly they need locking up!

it Is deeply unpleasant niggly, this has been going on for over two years Have never known it in all the years I have been a member , I agree with Ian Austin, it has become a sewer, the bullying is unbelievable.

I can't get my head round the fact of anti semitism being an issue at all in this tolerant country of ours in 2018!! While I can see people have issues with the Israeli government, that's understandable and acceptable, but to hate an individual person because they either come from Israel or are associated by religion is absolutely horrible. I'm not that keen on on quite a few governments, but I don't automatically hate individuals simply because of who/what they are or where they come from. It's ridiculous and deeply deeply unpleasant!
