Anti-Semitic? No Problem For Labour Leaders

//Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell attended the launch of the Labour Muslim Network whose executive includes Ali Milani, who has previously said Israel has 'no right to exist'.//

Yet another incidence in an increasingly long line of incidences. I can’t help thinking this is all becoming rather sinister.

Already been well ignored by the usual suspects.

Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism aren't synonymous. (There are even some Jews who are Anti-Zionist).

[Jackdaw33]

I think that Muslims are making a determined effort to hijack the Labour Party for their own ends. Corbyn and McDonnell are just stooges, people whom Lenin described as 'useful idiots'.

[naomi24]

Oops. Didn't see that Talbot.

Chris, indeed.

Jackdaw, it's all kind of .... uncomfortable.

[emmie]

how many more will creep out the woodwork before long.
sinister and moreover very bad for Labour if only they took their head from their a rse long enough to look up.

[Jackdaw33]

Yet 50 years ago in my neck of the woods you more or less had to be Jewish if you wanted to become a Labour councillor. Strange, isn't it?

This is rather scraping the barrel. He"posed for a picture" with a student activist who (like many such foolish people) holds views that are a tad extreme - but arent exactly "anti-semitic" and made some silly off-colour tweets 5 years ago.

This is a non-story that is being touted for political reasons.

//This is a non-story that is being touted for political reasons.//

Unless it fits, very well, a constant theme. No doubt some would rather it was not commented on, or reported, I suppose.

[naomi24]

Odd how, depending on who does and says what, the bar shifts accordingly.

[Kromovaracun]

If you're accusing me of being a hypocrite somehow, I'd rather you just said it.

[Togo]

Just about to make the same point Naomi. You know ......... the daily ululations, of certain people, highlighting historic(or hysteric) minutiae when it is not the Marxist cabal in the spotlight.

[Deskdiary]

It's all Thatcher's fault.....

Chris; //Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism aren't synonymous. (There are even some Jews who are Anti-Zionist).//
Can you give some examples please? I've never met a Jew who didn't support Israel.

[naomi24]

lKrom, fair enough. You're a hypocrite.

[Jackdaw33]

ROFL @ Naomi.

[Kromovaracun]

How?

[naomi24]

See my post at 07:29.

//Odd how, depending on who does and says what, the bar shifts accordingly.//

Which bar have I shifted, then?

[naomi24]

That highly flexible bar between those you support and those you don’t.

[Kromovaracun]

No, be more specific. In what way have I been inconsistent here?

Go on, show me.
