"He is charged with anti-Semitism." And it is very noticeable that nobody here is prepared to discuss that "historical nugget - which has a fair amount of truth attached to it. Personally, I think was stupidly insensitive to bring it up in the present atmosphere, but stupidity isn't antisemitism. Livingstone allowed himself to fall into the hands of the Anti - BDS crowd, but nobody has proved antisemitism against him or anybody - stating historical facts isn't antisemitic The clause in the definition that states that it is antisemitic to compare the action of the Israelis with the Nazis has always intrigued me - what if they are behaving like the Nazis, as many, including Jews have accused them of? Can you have a definition that makes truth unacceptable? If you can - why? Jim Carroll
