Jeremy Corbyn

[Del Woppio]

I think that's all a bit of a reach tbh. It's basically saying that any cartoon representation of a Jewish fella is antisemitic unless it's drawn in his absolute real life image.

 

[BillyDee]

I didn't realise Boris Johnson was Jewish.

That's not real, surely ?

 

[Jolemai]

Been deleted if it is.

 

[Tony Towner]

I believe so, now deleted

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's referencing 30p Lee's latest crass nonsense, isn't it?

 

[Tony Towner]

Yes, but in the most crass, ham fisted, unthinking fashion. Using 41 dead people to score political points

I mean it's not great, but it's worth underlining what a prick he is and what a stupid statement it is to begin with.

Notwithstanding that "first country" isn't even a thing if they bother reading the treaties and stuff.

I appreciate she's not front bench, but whilst the Tory strategy to avoid electoral carnage is to debase themselves with the most guttural culture war, the one thing Labour shouldn't do is engage in it or draw attention to themselves, in doing so you give it credibility. People who agree with Anderson's comments won't care a jot about people drowning

Chris Williamson: Former MP's Israel comment prompts hate crime probe

Former Labour member Chris Williamson posted that Israel had "forfeited any right to exist".

[Del Woppio]

Definitely not an antisemite though

Oh he is, and was kicked out of the party under Corbyn, so not sure why it's in this thread. Bait I guess

 

[Del Woppio]

I notice you STILL haven't condemned him though

 

[Tony Towner]

If you can't see the link between Corbyn and Williamson then you are beyond redemption. They were inseparable, but as a little memory jogger

The Starmer thread on here just this summer was full of anti-semitism denial, downplaying, evasiveness and adopting selective definitions, all straight out of the Corbyn/Williamson playbook.

You'd never get such cynical behaviour from such individuals relating to any other form of prejudice/discrimination, it's quite a remarkable blind spot

 

[Tony Towner]

After being a constituent of his and therefore paying pretty close attention, I genuinely don't think Williamson believes he's antisemitic. The lines are so blurred for him between the State of Israel and the Jewish people that he just can't see it. His hatred of the former runs into the latter unconsciously and he's never been capable of not crossing that line

@KentWolf hope the Woking trip was a success. This thread now requires you input as well
