I still don't get how the portrait is anti semitic. They looked like gilded age guys, none of them obviously Jewish. Such a silly controversy.

This is anti semitic as well now?

Do you believe there's any way anti-semitism can come from a left-wing perspective?

Sure it can, Cynthia McKinney is one example. It's just very uncommon.

Seems like there's a difference between 1) groups in which anti-semitic content is posted by members that nobody likes and gets moderated when the mods get around to it and 2) anti-semitic groups. And I really don't trust the British press to distinguish the two.

Good to see the "friends of Israel" purging themselves out. Will help labour get a clearer message and win even more decisively next election.

Like they did this time? There's more chance of me dating Jennifer Lawrence, who has just gotten engaged.

I have no doubt next election will be wave, but with these stragglers out of the way it will now be a tsunami. Can't wait for you guys to get British Bernie! You're lucky to have such a decent, humble man leading your party.

Not that I'm without sympathy for a more genuinely socialist direction for Labour--I want to like and support Corbyn, I really do--but holy sh**t, dude, did you read anything Justice Blair posted above?!

Ken Livingstone made a solid point and they were right not to kick him out. As for Berger she's been an attention queen for years. If Milliband or a reliable Jewish labour source were saying this, I might feel differently. And Umunna, the leader of this "Bloc" said himself he'd never seen any Anti-semitism in Labour. Some of my fellow Jews are so used to being unsafe that they do not realize how good things are now.

Zionism and Nazism have always coexisted well.. This is why Richard Spencer (and a growing number of white nationalists) is a Zionist, he wants Jews out of America - Israel is the perfect solution to his imaginary problem.

Really not cool or respectful to call Jewish people antisemites.

Surely even you must admit that it's not exactly a natural assumption to make that an online stranger is Jewish when they're calling people who have sustained antisemitic abuse and threats "attention queens" and talking about the compatibility of Zionism and Nazism.

I care about the future of the Jewish people, and the only way they'll survive is if they abandon Israel and come to America. This country has treated my family amazingly well for 5 generations and will continue to. On its current trajectory Israel has 50 years left, tops.

Derek Hatton has been suspended from Labour.

"But labour doesn't care about anti-Semitism"

They suspended the guy over a 7 year old tweet.

Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn is looking more and more inevitable when the next election occurs.
