That's great and any bigot should be weeded out of any position of trust.
He wasn't wrong.
Na. Kuenssberg has already explained that is 'on a different political scale'.
I think the Dispatches program on Channel 4 on Monday got into it, not sure in how much depth though.
Really poorly made hatchet job. Laughably transparent.
Really? Because from what I can see it’s being universally laughed off as a very poorly executed hatchet job. There are even videos doing the rounds with unedited interviews that don’t show the doc in a particularly pleasant light.
There as been an issue with this for a long time - this is hardly the first time it has been mentioned. You suspect the Palastinian issue has only made it worse since Corbyn is very anti Israel/pro Palestine and the party's stance has changed quite a bit since Corbyn came to power.
It’s a combination of Corbyn and friends’ willingness to stand alongside or tolerate antisemites who share their anti-Zionist platform, the perception that they don’t really recognize or understand the more subtle expressions of antisemitism, a somewhat conspiratorial approach to understanding the conflict in the Middle East which often reflects antisemitic tropes, and a perceived failure to deal with the issue among the wider party membership.
.There are some anti semites in the Labour Party just like there are some racists, sexists, homophobes in the party because well British is sadly all of those things. Although anti semtism has gone down in the party since Corbyn has become leader and the party has adopted measure to fight against anti semitism. Plus with remembering the labour before Corbyn had a Jewish leader in Ed.
I love how you trot this out without a single acknowledgement of how Jews themselves see it.
This is just a meaningless post. Unless your referring this this part of my post(Which maybe you read wrongly ?). I of course wasn't talking about all British Jews.
There are of course quite a lot of British Jews who do have issues with the policies of Israel(Aalthough these numbers aren't that great either).
If you wait, the EHRC will be able to tell you. Embarrassingly, they are investigating whether this venerable anti racist party is in fact racist.
Honest question, why is it embarrassing?
What I mean is Labour should be embarrassed.
Ah, yeah sorry mate I read that the other way.
Your post was a rejection of claims of antisemitism which ignored all the claims of antisemitism made by the affected group. Talk about missing the main event. My post pointed that out.
I’m afraid your party does not get the benefit of the doubt on this. Hence the echr investigation.
Literally nothing to do with the claims your making against my post but ok whatever.
Is it really true that Labour was more anti-semitic when it had a Jewish leader?
Nick said my post was a rejection of the claims of anti semtism
I've never rejected that the accusations or worries of there being anti semtism in the Labour Party. What I've rejected is the idea that the Labour Party is institutional anti semtisc and is somehow a danger to British Jews.

To finish the part of my post that I thought I'd deleted - "Yeah, your post was basically that accusations of anti-semitism have been overblown, which I somewhat agree with. I'm not convinced anti-semitism in the party's gone down under Corbyn's leadership though."
Oh right fair enough.
All we can go off is the polling we've got and until there is large polling on members we won't know anything for sure. Also what would a substantial number for a political party with a membership of half a million be ? Of course one anti Semite is too many but it's impossible for a large political to know everything about its membership. (Plus Labour has adopted measures to fight anti semtism in the party).
The mural is totally antisemitic, it plays into many conspiracy theories about the Jews, ones that inspire Nazis and fascists. It even features the all seeing eye and references the new world order.
No it isn't and I'll tell you why. The Warburgs and Rothschilds are jewish, the others are not. It is because they are all banking magnates and not all jews or any particular culture, race or belief. The pyramid is a Freemasonry symbol and not of the 'Illuminati'. They are playing Monopoly not reading the Torah.
Sorry Oates but even the artists explanation as to why it wasn't antisemitic proved that it was antisemitic. He claims that its Jewish and Anglo bankers controlling the world at the expense of the working classes etc. This is a key part of the Jewish conspiracy, that they've been controlling the powerful Anglo nations, the British Empire and America to their own nefarious aims.
Ahh I must admit I did wonder about the eye but I dismissed it as a reference to big brother or generally orwailian. It looked to me like as I said it was a mural that depicted the wealthy monopolising whilst eating off the back of the working classes. Perhaps as it’s art it can be seen from different perspectives?
Ockerman answered the suggestion that it was racist in 2012
It's that easy to be taken in.
Again, you're just posting proof that this is antisemitic. You're being wilfully ignorant to it I feel. Its layered in antisemitic tropes and even Corbyn held his hands up to it once called out on it.
