Heavens! Blame the self-proclaimed victim with a clear agenda. Race does not come remotely into it.

Is there any other kind ?

 

As for having a clear agenda - perhaps remove your head from Corbyn's arse and consider that her "clear agenda" is to rid the Party she has been a member of for many year of anti-semitism that she wanted.  Your complete sycophancy for Corbyn has you refusing to accept that Hodge may indeed have had a case.

One day the fanatic turns around and realises he's all alone, the only one on Earth who still believes the lie. At that point the lie is forgotten and his only wish is that he hadn't been last.

Marx and Trotsky to take just two - were they anti-semitic? And Jews expelled from the Labour Party: are they anti-semitic too? I don't need to defend Corbyn - Israel MPs can do that:

:facepalm:

 

So Arabs back Corbyn's stance on Palestinians, my God what a revelation, who could have ever possibly guessed.

 

You're becoming more and more desperate in your Monty Python's Black Knight style defence of antisemitism and antisemites.

 

All you're succeeding in doing is reaffirming the belief that like Corbyn and his fellow travellers you are the very thing you claim not to be.

I just read this piece  from a labour member which I thought brought a little more balance and nuance than much of the debate around this issue.

Seems to confirm the obvious. There definitely is antisemitism in the Labour Party and he’s unable to confirm Corbyn isn’t an antisemite (although, given he was leader and declined to root out this poison, I think the inference of guilt is clear enough)

Quote

 It will often cloak its anti-Semitism in criticism of Israel. Indeed, its obsession with the transgressions of that small country, when the misdeeds of certain other nations are more numerous and at least as bad, leads one to conclude that there is something else going on. Occasionally, it will lay bare its true beliefs with swivel-eyed rantings about “Zionist” control over the media or financial system. It is, quite frankly, comprised of irreconcilable extremists who are beyond reason.

Sounds familiar.

Paul Embrey has always been the sane voice of unionism when compared to the ravings from Unite, Unison and the RMT etc etc and he has paid the price for this as he says in his piece. So yes, he, like us does not know that Corbyn himself is antisemitc but that it is alive and well and became bolder within the hard left in the LP during Corbyn's tenure and the man himself failed to do anything about it.  I think we can all agree on that. ASIL?

Racism is part of society whether we like it or not. Anti-semitism is racism. So it follows that there may be some instances of it in a party which has as one of its core principles anti-racism. But, I ask again, what percentage of complaints were there from members?Corbyn has been an active anti-racist campaigner since his youth. Even arrested for it. So why are people denying that? The reason he seemed to do 'nothing' about it was because he could see how the issue was weaponised to be used against his policies.
