Yeahhh - Captain Pugwash. I have a perfect contender for that role. We just need to decide who is Seaman Staines and Roger the cabin boy now...

I forgot that your lot do tend to believe in out dated and clichéd stereotypes - when it suits your purposes. Your belief in falsehoods, myths and misrepresentations is truly heartening.

Bit of info for you Gnome about Captain Pugwash

Seaman Staines?? - No such character ever existed
Roger the cabin boy?? - The cabin boy's name was Tom.

You deliberately missed out that the perpetrator of the attacks also killed Muslims - deny that?
Those attacks were randomly carried out by a nutter - not antisemitic - unless you consider Muslim soldiers Semites

"Then stop telling lies about what I have said."
Then address what I have said - any moron can accuse somebody of being a liar without providing evidence
I have given you your statements - did you make them or have I conjured them up from thin air?
Did you not claim an "implant"?
If your answer is no, I will put it up again
Have you consistently refused to put up examples of anybody else doing so?
If so, either put them up again or at least link us to them
No response and you are lying.
Did you not put up thousand year old shite about child marriage to prove Muslims were inclined to paedophilia?
My response will be as before
Did you not claim that the Jewish members of Parliament reported the antisemitism to Corbyn yet did not take it further because of their loyalty to the party?
Your antisemitsm started when you accused me and other critics of the Israeli regime of being antisemitic for our criticism - that is against the last item in the then accepted definition - Israel has since made nonsense of any definition by declaring openly that CRITICISM OF ISRAEL IS ANTISEMITIC

Here's the exchange Gnome:

1: Greg F. - 14 Mar 17 - 02:32 PM

"Good article on the poison of anti-Semitism raging through Europe today in the The Atlantic "Is It Time for the Jews to Leave Europe?" (bobad).

Interesting. Have they also got a good article on the rampant Islamophobia raging thru Europe and epecially the U.S. & in the age of Trumpism, is it time for Muslims to flee the United States for safe sanctuary elsewhere? Mexicans ditto?

Greg F's question to bobad - How did you miss the "rampant Islamophobia raging thru Europe and epecially the U.S. Gnome?

2: bobad responded to Greg F's question about "Islamophobia" I Europe and the U.S.A. as follows:

bobad - 14 Mar 17 - 03:39 PM

"Have they also got a good article on the rampant Islamophobia raging thru Europe and epecially the U.S" Greg F's question.

"Yes, there is Islamophobia in the world today but hate crimes directed against Muslims are but a fraction of those directed against Jews even though there are some 1.8 billion Muslims in the world as compared to 16 million Jews. Why do you think that is? Why are Jews leaving Europe in record numbers, for their safety, while Muslims are arriving in Europe for theirs? Anti-Semitic incidents in Britain are at levels never before seen while in Germany attacks on German Jews have increased by 200%. Why is this happening?"

Direct question responded to by an honest and accurate answer.

3: YOU then jump in Gnome, selectively quote what was said out of context and completely ignore the boundaries set by Greg F:

Dave the Gnome - PM
Date: 14 Mar 17 - 04:28 PM

Another strange assertion

"but hate crimes directed against Muslims are but a fraction of those directed against Jews" - bobad

"Have you the remotest idea how many Muslims have been killed in hate crimes against their religion? How many Shia have been killed in Jihads by Sunnis? How many Sunni Muslims killed by Shias? Just because they believe a different version of the same fairy story. Or, because it is Muslim killing Muslim, is that OK?

So tell where in the USA or in Europe Sunni and Shia Muslims are killing one another. Nice try at a diversion Gnome but you're not getting away with it.

At the risk of seeming flippant in this already far too light-hearted thread, I wish to say that, in my opinion, very few hate crimes are directed at people because of their religion as such. It's a matter of attacking "the other" just like it always was with "religious wars" in the past. The Crusaders were not fighting for their better God, were they? That was a ruse to justify their quest for power, wealth and expansion of empire. A conspicuous Cross on your battledress to distinguish you from the heathen you were conquering looked good back home too. If there were really a God he'd be bloody angry at anyone using his name to justify hate crimes.

And as for us being 500 years more "advanced," try telling that to the women being hassled by Christian hypocrites outside abortion clinics.

Armed guards in British schools? Are you sure of that Keith. I can find no mention of gun toting security guards in the UK. What I did find was an interesting comment by Amber Rudd, reported in the Telegraph, though

The Home Secretary said she was forced to act after receiving 924 reports of anti-Semitic incidents, including 86 violent assaults, last year.

Ms Rudd warned against the "increasingly sophisticated" tactics of far-right extremists in the wake of the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox.

She said that groups were becoming better at harnessing the use of social media for promoting their cause and hauling in new members.

Hardly pertinent to a discussion on the Labour party is it? May as well talk about wild flowers...

"The point Keith has been making for months, is that there is a "culture" of Anti Semitism in the left of the UK labour Party."
He has failed miserably to make that point
The only evidence we have is that pro Israeli group received their instructions from Israel that they should smear the Labour Party with accusations of Anti-Semitism following Corbyn's statement that, under his leadership, they would back BDS- the date of that first meeting precedes the attacks by a few weeks.
Corbyn won overwhelming support of the rank and file of the Labour Party, so the New Labour crowd decided to jump on the Anti-Semitism bandwagon n order to rid the party of a leader thy considered a liability.
The makeup of the most vociferous of those attacks indicates this s the case, and the fact that no evidence has emerged other than unqualified accusations by one or other of the above groups.
You do not try people for murder without specif#ying who they killed, and what form the murder took - and then you go on to provide your evidence.
You don't try people for theft without specifying what they stole and how they stole it.
You do not accuse a party of "serious Antisemitism" without describing what form it takes and how many are involved - you certainly don't accuse a party with a track record of opposing bigotry and racism (even you, with your pathetic claims of being a "socialist" knows that)
All this is not just natural justice - it's common sense - making accusations without backing them up with facts is witch-hunting, pure and simple.
Despite this, Keith has persisted in his sickening campaign, refused to acknowledge the simple commonsense that YOU CANNOT FIND ANYBODY GUILTY OF ANYTHING ON THE BASIS OF ACCUSATIONS ALONE - YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN DETAIL - NO DETAILS HAVE BEEN FORTHCOMING - END OF STORY
So desperate was Keith to smear the Labour Party he let slip his own antisemitism by inventing a 'Jewish Plot', whereby all the Jewish Members of parliament decided to cover up the nature of Labour's Antisemitism in the interests of their party - how desperate can you get?
He has led throughout - he invented his invisible army yet still refuses to quote them - and he never will
No public figure would ever make such a horrendous statement publicly without not only losing their job, but also be prosecuted for inciting race hatred.
To suggest that an entire religious/racial community is culturally inclined to have underage sex is racist filth - that is what Keith has indulged in here
In the middle of his attempts to smear the Muslim people by quoting a thousand year old marriage - and clams he only did so before somebody else did - pathetic!!
Keith continues to insist that he quoted the people he claimed backed his "implant" theory – yet he continues to refuse to quote them
He now says that the Jewish members of parliament did describe the anti-Semitism that was taking place after having said that they had told Corbyn and left it in his hands, and made no statements publicly "for love of the party" – his inconsistencies have now gone ballistic
I brought this up again when he called me a liar and challenged me to produce evidence of his extremism – he has dug himself an deep hole which he would be well advised to climb out of and walk away from.
I have no wish to continue with this, but I will not be called a liar, nor will I let racism pass without challenging it – it does too much damage to people's lives and it destroys our society.
This is a decent forum which gives us the opportunity to express and share our ideas – I would certainly not with to be part of it if I were either a Muslim or a homosexual – the few extremists we have, have made certain of that.

If those US figures are true then hate crime against Jews in the western world's biggest nation is almost negligible!

Wrong Steve.
In the context of hate crime, Jews are overwhelmingly the most likely to be victims.

It may be true that hate crime is a tiny proportion of all crime, but Bobad was quite right to point out that Jews are disproportionately the victims of it.

Why do you feel the need to trivialise their persecution?
Have you any evidence whatsoever, however slight, to fuel your challenges?
If not, what is fueling them??

That persecution is driving Jews from Europe in a new mass exodus, while other minorities are striving to get in!

Your shitty - "no decent nation..." shite as a defence of Israeli terrorism is as pathetic as it gets.

I was just pointing out that decent democracies, like Scandinavian and other EU states, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand do not regard Israel as any kind of "rogue" or "terrorist" state and do not accuse it of war crimes.
The countries that do are the nastiest regimes with the very worst records of human rights abuses themselves. And you of course Jim.

You described Muslims as culturally implanted to rape under-age girls -fact

Lie. I have never linked any religion with any kind of offending and always maintained that religion played no part in it. You even quoted me last week, in red ink, saying just that!

You invented a phantom army f supporters who you claim saidf the same thing, yet have consistently refused #to quote them - fact

Lie. I quoted five people at the time, all in a position to know, saying the offending derived from the culture.

You claim never to have attacked the Muslim religion yet, in the middle f a discussion on Muslim criminality, you put up as argument a thousand year old Muslim Child marriage as evidence that the Muslim religion = under-age perversion - fact.

Lie. I made a factual statement about one of the Prophet's (peace be upon Him) wives which was relevant to the discussion, but added that child marriage was legal here until recently.

At a loss to com up with examples of antisemitism in the Labour Party, you accused the Jewish members of Parliament of refusing to describe the antisemitism
I have put your quotes up to you on all of these claims and will continue to do so as lonng as you go on denying you have made them - fact

Lie.
They did not refuse to describe anti-Semitism.
They did not stay silent.
Just like those who complained of misogyny and homophobia they gave full details of their grievances to the Party to deal with.

"Have you the remotest idea how many Muslims have been killed in hate crimes against their religion? How many Shia have been killed in Jihads by Sunnis? How many Sunni Muslims killed by Shias? Just because they believe a different version of the same fairy story." - Gnome

Here is the statement made by bobad that is being discussed, so far the evidence put forward seems to support it:

"Jews are targeted more than all other religious groups combined in most of the western world today." - bobad

What do you understand as being "the western world" Gnome? And could you let us know in which countries in the western world Muslims are being slaughtered wholesale in this Sunni/Shia Jihad to the extent where those countries are being consumed by it?

I see that those challenging bobad's statement have yet to introduce any evidence to disprove it.

Before Dave gets a chance to reply, Teribus, I'm going to ask YOU three very serious questions.


1. How do you like your boiled eggs?


2. Do you wear Asda five-pairs-for-eight-quid boxers?


3. We (yes, WE) demand the whole truth about your trouser-drop on Blackpool Tower in 1975, and we (yes, WE) will not accept grubby photoshopped 8x10s.

Another strange assertion

We're talking in the West, but you knew that and are just misrepresenting, as usual, to further your agenda - you should be ashamed of yourself. If you want to bring the Middle East into the discussion then we can talk about anti-Semitism in the Islamic world but I doubt you would like to hear about that.

"Where Gnome? Who was responsible for these shootings and beatings Gnome?"

I suppose answering one question out of three is a marked improvement, now answer the first two, so that we get the context.

Nah then, chaps. Time to lighten up. These two clueless chappies (I'll lump them together and call them boob-ache just so you know to whom I refer) are having a desperate go at getting the poison back in. No debate is possible. I'm going to change the subject. They can't complain because they're already off-topic themselves, innit. So here goes.

What have we not talked about recently?

Er, lessee... maybe not footie (even though I'm jubilant about Man U getting beaten by Chelsea last night - where's old Mike when you need to gloat!) Not cheese - already come up in another thread...School dinners, done it already...

I know. Eggs. Don't worry, I won't rehash that Yorkshire omelette joke. I love eggs in any shape or form. Used to drink 'em straight from the shell until Edwina Currie put me off with her Salmonella scare. Used to beat three eggs with a drop of brandy and drink 'em for brekkie when I was at university. Cold hard boiled in a picnic, beautiful. Scotch eggs, glorious. Waitrose do one with black pudding. A little belter. Sunny side up, sunny side down, I don't care if they're a bit snotty. Share, fellers, share. And don't bloody tell me you're allergic to eggs. You'll be getting baseless assertions if you do that.

but hate crimes directed against Muslims are but a fraction of those directed against Jews

Have you the remotest idea how many Muslims have been killed in hate crimes against their religion? How many Shia have been killed in Jihads by Sunnis? How many Sunni Muslims killed by Shias? Just because they believe a different version of the same fairy story. Or, because it is Muslim killing Muslim, is that OK?

Jim, the aims and actions of Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists are not to be confused with the very complicated and nuanced Palestinian /Israeli question.

Islamic Jihadists are dedicated to the overthrow and destruction of any who do not support their cause.....they discriminate against women and butcher homosexuals out of hand.....they are a menace to humanity, a menace which is becoming more dangerous and insidious by the day......how can a devout man of the left like yourself raise his voice in support of such an abomination?

Have they also got a good article on the rampant Islamophobia raging thru Europe and epecially the U.S

Yes, there is Islamophobia in the world today but hate crimes directed against Muslims are but a fraction of those directed against Jews even though there are some 1.8 billion Muslims in the world as compared to 16 million Jews. Why do you think that is? Why are Jews leaving Europe in record numbers, for their safety, while Muslims are arriving in Europe for theirs? Anti-Semitic incidents in Britain are at levels never before seen while in Germany attacks on German Jews have increased by 200%. Why is this happening?

Suggest you try actually following the thread, Ake, before posting gratuitous uninformed nonsense.

Greg I haven't been following this thread very closely, but I'm sure Keith has provided evidence from other Labour members and I have definitely heard the comments which I have mentioned.

As far as most of the Left are concerned it is "easy meat" to blame the policies of the Israeli govt on ALL Jews.

The point Keith has been making for months, is that there is a "culture" of Anti Semitism in the left of the UK labour Party

That indeed has been his claim, however it is devoid of any evidence to support said claim.

In the Age of Trump and "alternative facts", this should come as no surprise.

I have no doubt this is correct as I used to hear anti Jewish sentiments expressed regularly among the left wing people with whom I attended demos and protests in the seventies.

These people opposed the policies of the Israeli Govt vis a vis, the Palestinian question.......but abused all Jews on the fact that they were Jews, regardless of their personal views.

"Of course it is not. There was anti-Semitism before there was an Israel!"
And the horror of the Holocaust tended to put it on the back burner.
You rightists turned your attention to Muslims - they became the new victims of your bigotry
Israel has re-kindled the flames of antisemitism by claiming its State Terrorism to be on behalf of the Jewish people - it vindicates its having done so by inventing New antisemitism - which is criticism of Israeli policy.
I am not obsessed - it's called humanitarianism when you object to seeing Israelis persecuting Muslims just as the Jews were persecuted by the Nazis
Accusations of antisemitism e#appeared within weeks of Corbyn reiterating his support for BDS
Each time those accusations died down, they were reignited by right wing Lablour supporters who returned from meetings with Israeli leaders.
Your shitty - "no decent nation..." shite as a defence of Israeli terrorism is as pathetic as it gets.
These people have remained silent on Israel's atrocities, just as they continued to support Assad when he was filling his torture chambers with opponents, or as Cameron went to pay his respects to the founder of the regime in Saudi while it was administering 1000 lashes to a journalist who spoke out of turn.... or all the other monsters we have sold weapons to or backed up with our support.
That's how "decent" your decent nations are.
Now about all tehse "liesw" I've been telling.
Put them up and let's see how they work out
You described Muslims as culturally implanted to rape under-age girls -fact
You invented a phantom army f supporters who you claim saidf the same thing, yet have consistently refused #to quote them - fact
You claim never to have attacked the Muslim religion yet, in the middle f a discussion on Muslim criminality, you put up as argument a thousand year old Muslim Child marriage as evidence that the Muslim religion = under-age perversion - fact.
At a loss to com up with examples of antisemitism in the Labour Party, you accused the Jewish members of Parliament of refusing to describe the antisemitism
I have put your quotes up to you on all of these claims and will continue to do so as lonng as you go on denying you have made them - fact
I ask again - what lies have I told

Good article on the poison of anti-Semitism raging through Europe today in the The Atlantic "Is It Time for the Jews to Leave Europe?".

No crime stats. We can't judge without numbers. If the numbers are anywhere near as low as you allege for the US and UK I'd say we have a virtually irreducible problem. How many crimes, what kinds of crimes, were they prosecuted or simply recorded as complaints? I know you think we should all be terribly shocked and not question things like this lest we get called antisemitic, but you can't go on like this, and we remember only too well the song and dance you made about a few handfuls of Labour members out of 600,000. You're peddling propaganda only and avoiding the hard reality.
