What does being a 'militant' opponent of anti-Semitism actually involve?

[Baldric]

Stamping his feet and condemning it.

[naomi24]

Scary stuff then! That'll learn 'em!

[hellywelly4]

When did he say he was not anti-Semitic? Someone has said that he said it, but has he said it publicly?

[naomi24]

//When did he say he was not anti-Semitic? //

He's just said it. See the OP.

From the Link @ 20:17

// Jeremy Corbyn is a "militant opponent of anti-Semitism" and is "absolutely committed" to tackling it, says a Labour spokesperson //

[highbury57]

This must be a striking example of what the Parliamentary Committee meant when it suggested we were being misled by fake news.

You miss the point about Corbyn.
He isn’t anti Semitic. He’s just useless

[hellywelly4]

A Labour spokesman has said that he has said it. He hasn't said it openly, has he? For example, has he said it on a TV or radio programme?

[highbury57]

Ichkeria, it’s not merely that he’s useless. It’s because he is that the Labour Party anti-Semitism flourishes. But there’s surely something more sinister. Despite his assertions-well, what else would he say-the possibility’s there that he is an anti-Semite.

Corbyn may not hate Jews, but, as an equal opportunity endorser, he does[i love both Hezbollah and Hamas who [i]do] hate Jews.

So poor Jezza suffers from the same square/circle conflict as poor Tess in her Brexit stance.

[Theland]

I think the misplaced support for the Palestinians, spills over into antizionism and then to antisemitism, and Corbyn is not big enough to get a grip.

the Palestinians, evidently.....
