Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
It is fairly silly to suggest that only Jews or Zionists should define Zionism.

It is also fairly silly to suggest that there is any more than a microscopic amount of antisemitism in the Labour party.

What is pretty obvious though is that a cry of "antisemite" goes up when anyone tries to defend the inhabitants (for about 2,000 years) of lands now claimed by the Israeli state from Israeli brutality. Those inhabitants try to defend themselves with sticks and stones while the IDF have F16s white phosphorus and if push comes to shove nuclear weapons.

On the other hand, the conservatives have been a byword for racism of all types for decades, at least since Enoch Powell, and still are judging by the attacks on Sadiq Kahn orchestrated by the Lizard of Oz.

Now the next thing is the MSM. the BBC in general, Kuenssberg in particular, and even papers that are purportedly left of centre have been consistently recycling conservative or bitterite propaganda for months (one example of which has been the "antisemitism" campaign). Despite this and however you spin it JC has done great things and True Labour now has an impressive slate, starting with four mayors, with fewer council seat losses than the con-servatives, a crushing majority in the London Assembly, and a respectable second place in Wales. Scotland will have to wait - the Blairities did so much damage up there that it may take years to heal. Imagine what could be done with fair media (or an effective new media platform).
