Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
What part of what she said was a "slur," Keith? Was she telling fibs? Did you look at the context (excuse me for being suspicious of you, but you've made the partial quote twice already). What was antisemitic? Did she say "all Jews?" Did she say "only Jews?" If she isn't allowed to say "Jews," what should she call them? Proto-Israelis?😂What do they call themselves? Are we allowed to say that Christians were involved in the slave trade? Frankly, you are crazy and mixed up. You want to jump on every remark made by anyone to the left of you (which is just about everyone), antennae a-twitching, looking for signs of cod-antisemitism. When you sat in your middle-class Christian pew last Sunday, did you not wonder how many of those devout chanters of prayers around you might have been harbouring just the teensiest hint of your brand of antisemitism?

And do you think you could answer (only if you want to, of course) by saying what you think instead of telling us what an assortment of other people think? That would make a nice change...
