Anti-Semitism in UK Labour megathread

[All Along The Watchtower]

...when whataboutism goes wrong.  Be careful out there kids.

Why do you, a white American, love Israel so much? Because they kill brown people and thumb their nose at the world/international law while they destroy the Palestinian population? Be honest.

Boy, you sure are doing a great job of convincing us that anti-semitism is a bygone issue and not a pressing issue.

You support Donald Trump, a man who welcomes the support of Nazis and who David Duke and Richard Spencer absolutely adore. Why should I take you seriously on any of this?

I don't support Trump. I never have. My screen name on this site was "Never Trump" during the election, you blood-libeling loon.

Jeremy Corbyn is a direct threat to the safety of every Jewish person in the UK. Your support for him indicates that you wish for his brand of Judenhass to come here. Keep my name and your lies about my political opinions out of your mouth.

In a thread about how blaming Jews for Israel's actions is a chief form of anti-semitism, a rando comes in to turn the conversation to Israel.

Corbynists never fail to live down to even the most basic expectations of human decency.

Evergreen.

I'm sure you'll be the toast of the National Anti Zionist Initiative party.

Like I've said earlier; there is a pretty big overlap between the idiots who defend Corbyn no matter how bad his antisemitism gets and the people who protested Trumps visit to the u.k because of his "bigotry", to be fair though i am convinced that the reason why Corbyn refused to meet with Trump was because Trump hasn't killed enough people to earn that honor

They have a right to exist.  They have a right to defend themselves when others attack them.  How you or I feel about it is never going to matter.  The fact that there is subtle AND obvious bigotry against them makes it a really easy choice to defend them online for anti-bigotry reasons.  The nation of Israel and the Jewish people have given and continue to give a disproportionately large amount of great things to civilization.  I think that should be celebrated and encouraged.

Are they perfect? hell no, neither is any other group.  Are they better than the groups they are in conflict with?  you betcha.



Plus I love how old Jewish males for New York sound.  I'd consider voting for Bernie just to hear him talk more.

I apologize, guys. I was mad today and took it out on posters in this and other threads. So sorry for my anti-Semitic/trollish comments. Yeah, they're inexcusable. I especially apologize to all of the Jewish posters here. Your forgiveness would be appreciated but by no means demanded.

Nothing to forgive you for, you were right.

You're forgiven. It's rare to see someone own up like this.

You, on the other hand, are beyond hope.

Nothing got deleted. There was some relatively minor trolling and whataboutery, and I bit back maybe a bit harder than I should have given how this thread has me keyed up. It was on the verge of ending well when this board's own Max Blumenthal jumped in to say that, actually, bringing up Israel mockingly in a thread about anti-semitism is good and pure.

Meanwhile, nothing to see here. This isn't what a would-be brutal dictator says at all.

It might be best to keep the Corbyn Trump-like anti-media psychosis in the UK thread, leaving this one for the Corbyn anti-Zionist psychosis.

Edit: I may have misread the tone of the comment, apologies. But I see them as 100% linked, given how he seems to want to target the media because of their harsh-but-justified treatment of him over the anti-semitism scandal.

Also, some new Corbyn comments from 2013 have emerged:

Jesus, I had no idea it was this bad.

[Horus]

"when he says zionists, we hear Jews"

Maybe they should listen a bit harder then?

Relevant again after the blatant anti-semitism above.

[DavidB.]

One of these statements is by Dutch Nazi leader Anton Mussert in the late 1930s. The other one is by Jeremy Corbyn:

"[Jews in country] clearly have two problems. One is they don't want to study history, and secondly, having lived in this country for a very long time, probably all their lives, they don't understand [country] irony either. They needed two lessons, which we could perhaps help them with."

"[Ideology of party leader] in [country] does not have to be or become antisemitic, because here in [country] we have Jews who are committed to the well-being of the [country] nation with their entire hearts, because they form an unbreakable part of it and in the future wish to remain so."

We've reached the point where Corbyn's statements are more antisemitic than those by an actual national socialist leader who didn't mind 75% of the Jewish population in his country being killed off a mere five years later.

[Silent Hunter]

Yes and was executed for high treason after it.

[DavidB.]

Yes and was executed for high treason after it.

Yes, and damn rightly so. It's not making him look good. It's making Corbyn look bad.
