Oh and we have been to their children’s weddings and vice versa.

I doubt it we are 3 detached houses on one block.

We are friends who discuss many things, religion, fashion (theirs and ours), food and politics.

The state of Israel has a lot to a lot to answer for.

Don’t forget the important point, he has been suspended.

Day 6, Just as no Muslim person in the UK would vote Conservative.

However, all the evidence of racism against Muslims in the Tory party would never be published in the Sunday Times.

Racism and sexism is all around us in the UK and should be fought in all institutions, organisations and places of work where it predominates equally.

EllanVannin I'd be extremely angry if I were of Jewish origin. I am angry that those in the public eye can peddle such nonsense, such defamatory rubbish. Corbyn's example over the years makes it easier for others in his coterie to spout anti semitic sentiments.

I'm from Jewish ancestry on my father's side and I know for sure it wasn't the Jews who started wars. I've never voted Labour and never will and I doubt others have or will.
Corbyn has obviously never studied invasions from the year dot to read about those who usurped governments in Europe and beyond and took over many countries with their use of force and annihilation of it's peoples.

It still continues to this day but it's not the Jews to blame !

Yes, it's almost like an unspoken recognition that it's ok to discriminate against Jews. It's been going on too long and has intensified under Corbyn's leadership.

Surely no Jewish person in the UK votes for Labour?

How can the party sort anti semetism out with Corbyn as leader .

Sorry - I forgot the links to the above article. Not sure if the Sunday Times online is in full so have posted another link. However, I imagine all today's papers are reporting the story.

From the Sunday Times.

Labour suspends official who blamed ‘all wars in the world’ on Jewish people

The Sunday Times

"A senior Labour Party official shared anti-semitic material blaming Jews for “all the wars in the world”."

"Labour’s West Midlands regional organiser, Mohammed Yasin, was suspended last night after The Sunday Times approached the party with a dossier of his activity on social media. Labour has launched an investigation."

"For more than two years Yasin, not to be confused with the Labour MP with a similar name, shared anti-semitic posts and 9/11 conspiracy theories, praised a homophobic preacher and described his former leader Tony Blair as a “child-killer”."

Labour's links with racism/antisemitism just won't go away. It really is time for the party to sort itself out.
