Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
I am not in denial at all. I'm asking you to tell me who has not been outed who hasn't already been dealt with, who in your opinion is antisemitic in the Labour Party and what's your evidence, and who do you think should be expelled? You know summat, Keith, you're very good at asking us "challenging questions" but you appear to be congenitally incapable of answering them yourself. I asked you a question and instead of answering it you've twisted it into a "Steve's in denial" fib. My opinion is as follows, Keith. As in any larger organisation, there may be antisemitism in the Labour Party. However, it is not endemic or institutionalised - there is no evidence for that. The woman who suggested that Israel should be moved to the US is a bloody idiot, but it was not an antisemitic remark. She did not say that JEWS should be ethnically-cleansed out of Israel. Now that WOULD have been antisemitic. Ken Livingstone was a bloody fool for saying what he did, but what he said was technically accurate and not antisemitic and the remark was not intended to demonise or disadvantage Jews BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWS. They both deserve a good bollocking and should be made to promise to not make such remarks again, at the very least.

Be honest, Keith. You are a sycophantic supporter of Israel and its regime. They can do no wrong in your eyes. Like that regime and its ardent backers, you pounce on the slightest hint of misjudged remarks and blow them out of all proportion in order to wrong-foot your political enemies and divert attention from the gross misdeeds of the Israeli regime. I get that you support Israel. As a matter of fact, I support all the citizens of Israel regardless of ethnicity or religion and wish them peace, prosperity and security, and anyone who says Israel should be wiped off the map is insane. But I do not support their regime. You take the whole package, without trying to think for yourself. That's great, but don't pretend to come here with your "views" which are actually predigested Israeli regime propaganda. That just makes you a mouthpiece. As we know, a mouthpiece is too easily separated from the brain six inches above it.
