Steve Shaw BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party (2383* d) RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party 26 Sep 16


The literature, reportedly handed out in and around the Labour Party's annual conference in Liverpool, claims the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) "acts as a representative of Israel".

Well it patently is, and is is not antisemitic to say so. The organised groups of Israel supporters in Labour align themselves with the Israeli Labor Party. They are not my favourite bunches of people but they have every right to be advocates for Israel. In general they do not support the current actions of the extreme right-wing regime in Israel, seeking a more inclusive and less combative way forward. I still don't like them and regard them as wrong-headed, but, to dig up an old cliche, Labour is a broad church. Sorry, Keith, but you are clutching at straws and you are risking the safety and security of the Israeli people by constantly upping the ante. I guess that makes you rabidly antisemitic. Ironic, really, but true.
