"You and Jim both support BDS, a view too extreme for any UK party or any Liberal Democracy to espouse."
So extremism is to be judged by what political parties, including extremist ones, support and don't support
The classical definition of fascism is to place the actions of the state above the aspirations of the people
BDS is not extreme - if it was, any boycott would he an extremist act, such as that against Apartheid South Africa
Remind us how many decades Anerica boycotted Cuban goods or how long the blockade of Palestine by Israel has been in place?
Utter nonsense
Human rights groups and decent people throughout the world support action against Israel for its terrorist behaviour - I saw an exhibition of photographs yesterday in our County Town arts centre showing how the authorities have closed down an entire area of Muslim shops in the centre of Jerusalem
You manic attack on the Labour party is a perfect illustration of another example of religion being used to carry out abuse   
"I discussed anti-Semitism within Labour. No other party has had such issues in recent years."
Most religions have been incorporated into the establishment and many of them, Christianity especially, have become spokesmen for some of the most extreme right wing Governments and groups on the planet - Fascist Spain and Chile, Fascist dictatorships in South America - the Dutch Reform Church was a solid supporter of the South African regime.... the list is very impressive
No other Party has had such a problem - are you joking?
Ukip based their activities on Islamophobia and swung the vote on Brexit on a racist ticket
The vice chairman of an even more extreme anti Semitic and Islamophobic offshoot of Ukip it to be put on trial in Belfast for racist activities
The Northern Ireland Unionist Government was established on the basis of dividing an entire State into two religious factions and making one of those less influential than the other.
In contrast - only two members of the Labour party, Livingstone and Shah, were accused of directly involving Jewish people in their criticism of Israel - one apologised for a youthful indiscretion - the other simply told the truth at the wrong time.
Yet all the other things I have mentioned rate as less important as these two cases
That must signify something
I have no intention of responding to your inevitable denials Keith - New Year resolution and all that
