Thread Name: BS: News interview for Keith & Bob...
Subject: RE: BS: News interview for Keith & Bob...
Steve,
Denying it is not defending anything.

Yes it is.
The only criticism levelled against it is anti-Semitism.
If you deny that it, you are defefending it against that criticism.

And remember, you are the only two Labour members any of us can find who deny that anti-Semitism.
Hard evidence that you are wrong and Labour the Guardian and me are right.

almost certainly because you can't bring yourself to say that it's all about hooked noses.

it is about anti-Semitic tropes. Read how your leaders, comrades and the Guardian explain it. I accept their explanation.
Why don't you?

McGrath,
the level of name calling and worse has exceeded the level seen as tolerable, so it gets shut as toxic, and a health hazard.

I suspect that with some posters this can be what they try to achieve.


Name them and shame them. Abuse is destroying debate on this forum. Coming from you, people might take notice.

Robo,
These threads haven't actually settled down to an agreement as to what 'anti-Semitic' even means

I am assuming the definitions accepted and adopted by the Labour Party conference. Our extremists reject that definition.

PFR,
We've allowed Keith & bob too much time to evade responding to this interview,

I responded in my first post.
His views are entirely valid, but are a minority view among Labour MPs and Labour Jews.
I have been putting the majority view.
What is your objection?

Steve
The issue of the current violence against Palestinians absolutely belongs here, robomatic. Why? Because we've been hammering home for years, some of us, how the Israeli regime mistreats Palestinians.


So start a thread. It is not relevant to anti-Semitism in UK.

Dave,
As I keep saying, this is not about a long gone mural but about discrediting Jeremy Corbyn

Supposing you were right, we can still stick to the issue of anti-Semitism in UK. Israel does not come in to it.
