Steve,
So let's see. "Relocating Israel..." means the same as "transporting Jews out" now, does it?
Mad as a box o' frogs...

Who is?
That is what she said.
She did not mean the actual terrain!
She did not mean the Palestinian residents.
That only leaves the Jews!
That is why she admitted it was anti-Semitic.

"Labour MP Naz Shah has said the comments which saw her suspended from the party were anti-Semitic.
Ms Shah apologised in April for online posts, including one suggesting Israel should be moved to the United States."

"relocating Israel would be a "solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict", and that it would allow Palestinians to "get their life and their land back". "

"Labour MP Naz Shah admits to the Guido Fawkes blog she wrote a Facebook post arguing for Israel's population to be "transported" out of the Middle East to America."

So not mad at all Steve.
She said exactly what I said she did.

ISRAEL BACKS HUNGARY'S 'ANTISEMITIC' POSTER AGAINST SOROS AFTER U-TURN
ISRAEL
Gregg Carlstrom Tel Aviv

Binyamin Netanyahu has overruled his ambassador and backed the right-wing Hungarian government's campaign against the Jewish billionaire George Soros.
Official posters denouncing Mr Soros have been described by Hungary's main Jewish organisation as antisemitic. Yossi Amrani, Israel's ambassador in Budapest, urged Viktor Orban, the prime minister, to remove them.
"Beyond political criticism of a certain person, the campaign not only evokes sad memories but al¬so sows hatred and fear," Mr Amrani said in a statement.
His bosses in Israel initially en¬dorsed the call, but later issued a clarification, saying that the Hungarian-born financier threatened democracy by funding charities critical of Mr Netanyahu.
Mr Orban's government has repeatedly attacked Mr Soros and is trying to close down a liberal university that he set up and funded. It has accused him of trying to flood Europe with immigrants.
It has paid for billboards across the country denouncing Mr Soros as a threat to national security. "Let's not allow Soros to have the last laugh," reads one, next to a photo of the smiling banker. The head of Hungary's Jewish community said that the billboards were antisemitic, while Human
Rights Watch compared them to Nazi propaganda, which often featured "the laughing Jew".
Mr Orban wrote a letter to Jewish leaders last week saying: "My duty is to defend our homeland and citizens."
Israel is normally quick to condemn antisemitism, but this time the government distanced itself from the ambassador's comments. "In no way was the statement meant to delegitimise criticism of George Soros, who continuously undermines Israel's democratically elected govern¬ments by funding organisations that defame the Jewish state," Emmanuel Nachson, a spokesman for the foreign ministry, said.
Mr Netanyahu has not appointed a foreign minister and holds the post himself. He is scheduled to meet Mr Orban in Hungary next week.
Israel and Hungary have both passed legislation that seeks to limit the influence of liberal charities such as those Mr Soros funds.
Last month Mr Orban praised Miklos Horthy, a Second World War-era Hungarian leader, as an "exceptional statesman". Admiral Horthy was a Nazi ally who passed a series of anti-Jewish laws.
Again, Mr Amrani protested, this time on Hungarian television, and several leading Israeli politicians urged Mr Netanyahu to cancel his visit. But the foreign ministry said it was satisfied with Hungary's clarification—that Mr Orban was only praising the "positive periods" in his predecessor's history, not the "negative periods".
Israel used to follow local Jewish communities in deciding whether to meet parties with dubious pasts. It kept its distance from the National Front in France because Jewish leaders shunned the group.
But Mr Netanyahu and his government have sought to build ties with far-right factions across Europe, viewing them as useful diplomatic allies.
Last year, the head of Austria's Freedom Party spent a week in Israel on an official visit. The Israeli foreign ministry officially boycotts the party, which was founded in 1956 by former Nazis.

Point one. She did not say what you say she said. She referred to the relocation of Israel, not the transportation of Jews, as you said she did. You lied. You said what you wanted her to have said, just as you did with Wheatcroft with your vulgar and fraudulent. It's what you do.

Point two. The map in question was a map of the US with a lump in the middle of it the same size and shape as Israel. Funny that. That isn't a map of transported Jews. That is a map of a relocated Israel. It is a map of an impossible, whimsical situation. It is a joke. Personally I think it's a very unfunny joke in execrable bad taste. It was a map visualised by a Jewish man who was directly affected by the Holocaust, and he said it was a joke. It was a wrong joke to make in my view. But a joke it was. As the map depicted a ridiculously impossible situation, it was a joke map. The suggestion was not a serious suggestion as to what should happen. Naz Shah was foolish to reproduce it, though we could remember that she was a Muslim watching the vicious attacks on Gaza at the time she reproduced it. Not an excuse, a context.

Get real, Keith. It's over. You have a sick obsession with "Labour antisemitism," a distinctly rare beast, while you ignore the injustices meted out by your own side, including the Israeli regime and the Tories. You defended Johnson calling black children piccaninnies. Yiu sided with the xenophobic Farage in the referendum campaign. Yiu defend the vicious IDF attacks on Lebanon and Gaza. You deny the refugee camp massacres.

Its always nice to have backing, but on this occasion I can stand alone if I have to. All anyone has to do is to revisit Shah's Facebook post. It's there for all to see. This is what Keith said::

"Her statements were anti-Semitic in context, advocating the transportation of the Jews out of Israel."

She made no such statement. The above is Keith's interpretation of what he wanted her to have said. In other words, he lied. Go on, have a look. It's simple. She didn't say what Keith said she said. I'm not defending her. She was an idiot. An embarrassment. But all that has passed. She apologised and she has just doubled her majority. Perhaps Keith should leave leafy Hertford for a day or two and go up to ask the people of Bradford what they think. He might learn a few swear words. But we can't have a sensible discussion with Keith, ever, because he is pathologically determined to misrepresent what people say in order to fit his prejudices.

...and my point in raising it, which I am glad I did regardless of how often Keith says he bets I am not (twice up to now) was to compare the Naz Shah incident to Anne Marie Morris. The former made a stupid comment and was suspended. The latter made a stupid comment and was suspended. Neither had racist intentions but while that is no excuse, Keith is happy to accept that excuse from Morris. The biggest difference is that she is a Tory MP while Shah is Labour. MPs should be more careful. Mind you, Shah was not an MP or even in the public eye when she made her stupid remarks but they do fit in quite well with the agenda of trying to discredit the Labour party.

The attacks on Labour were first started by Friends of Israel in response to the threat of a boycott for their illegal and inhuman behaviour
Your "massive problem" within the Labour Party has now dwindled to one member quoting a respected Jewish intellectual
Enough really is enough - the Israeli influence on this forum has reached the point where it could very well destroy it
A couple of Pro-Israeli trolls have just brought about the collapse of yet another thread by with their hate posts of "Jew Hater" - sadly it involved someone I once very much respected who also accused me of hating Jews and demanded I paid a donatation to an organisation which has been entered in Wiki as:
"a Jewish far-right religious-political organization in the United States, whose stated goal is to "protect Jews from antisemitism by whatever means necessary".[1] While the group asserts that it "unequivocally condemns terrorism" and states that it has a "strict no-tolerance policy against terrorism and other felonious acts",[2] it was classified as "a right wing extremist group" by the FBI in 2001 and is considered a radical organization by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[3][4] According to the FBI, the JDL has been involved in plotting and executing acts of terrorism within the United States.[3][5]"
This argument should have been over long ago when these accusations were proven to be directly linked to the Israeli anti-BDS campaign - it has no foundation and even if it was shown that Shah was not just repeating a joke, she does not represent the Labour Party, nor does she pose a threat in any way shape or form.
You have no interest in antisemitism - you never have had.
You are now endorsing antisemitism yourself by refusing to comment on Israel's support for Hungarian Antisemitism which has direct historical links to the Nazis.

I have put both dictionary definitions on this thread just for you.

If you cannot understand the difference find an adult who will explain it to you.

But you did pass comment, didn't you, Keith, which is why I mentioned it, you clown!

"As for BDS, it is considered to be anti-Semitic and condemned by many countries for being a campaign to delegitimize Israel and spread hate and anti-Semitism around the world."

Considered by you. Give me a list of the countries that have condemned it. In each case, give me their official reason for condemning it. In other words, I think you've made up everything in that sentence. It's just throwaway stuff, isn't it? So I'm challenging you to verify it. No rush.

In other words no evidence but your interpretation of her words. Nothing whatsoever to conclude that she believes anything that you say. No evidence to back up you ridiculous claim that I do not consider antisemitism to be serious either.

Quelle Surprise.

accusations that are safely beyond the reach of responses.

Yeah, seems like Joe in addition to honing his trolling skills is a coward and a schoolyard bully.

Fascinating.

""Here's Jim Carroll, proving that he actually may be a Jew-hater after all:""
Can some moderator please prevent yet another thread from being used for yet another series of hate posts from those who have no rational arguments any more
To use a despicably cowardly posting from someone who should know better who has been given the right of reply after a thread has been closed down to the rest of us is beyond belief
If we wish to deal with antisemitism fully here, deal with the fact that Israel is now colluding with a fascist group in Hungary to prevent antisemitic posters from being banned - that's what I call antisemitism on an international scale - a pale shadow of any imagined and unproven antsemitism in the Labour Party

Rag,
But she did not use the word "blatantly" though did she.

She could have because in the context the words are interchangeable.
I am not getting involved in etymological pedantry with you, and that is my last word on it.

But you did pass comment, didn't you, Keith, which is why I mentioned it, you clown!

I made no comment at all, you clown!

Dave,
In other words no evidence but your interpretation of her words.

Her words need no interpreting. She could not be clearer about what she now thinks of her anti-Semitic outbursts.

Steve,
Give me a list of the countries that have condemned it.

Wiki,
Canada
Legislative Assembly of Ontario
In 2016, in a bipartisan vote, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario passed a resolution that "calls on the legislature to stand against any movement that promotes hate, prejudice and racism" and "reject the 'differential treatment' of Israel by the BDS movement".[56]

France
In France, the 2003 Lellouche law outlaws discrimination based on a variety of immutable characteristics, including national origin."[57][58] That law and hate speech laws have been applied to BDS activities.[59]

United States
In April 2015, Tennessee became the first state in the United States to pass a resolution condemning BDS.[60] As of June 2017, a total of 21 states have passed anti-BDS legislation.[61]

Nice try, Professor, but YOU LOSE.

Now, go back and read Steve's posting - for comprehension this time - & then try again.

I did Greg. Perhaps you need to.
He also said, "I think you've made up everything in that sentence."
I showed him to be wrong about that.
Thanks for bringing it up Greg.
