Thread Name: BS: What does 'anti-semitism' mean?
Subject: RE: BS: What does 'anti-semitism' mean?
Well as I've pointed out to Keith in the past, when it suits you we lefties are dishonest, bigoted liars. Except when we say something that happens to suit your agenda, when we suddenly become inviolable holders of the sword of truth. Like Naz, I'm a leftie. I think she was stupidly wrong to make those remarks. I think she was right to apologise. I think she was wrong to apologise for their being antisemitic, because they were not. I can only think that she wanted to save her own arse. She wouldn't be the first politician to do that and she won't be the last. Even we principled lefties are not incapable of that.

And it's you lot quibbling, not me. It's you who want the definition broadened. She didn't mention Jews and she clearly didn't mean Jews. The problems she was suggesting solving (idiotically) were brought about by the Israeli regime, not by "the Jews."

Anyway, if you and Keithie think she was so correct in identifying antisemitism, why don't you solve your little definition problem and get Naz Shah to define antisemitism for you ? 😂😂😂
