I'd have thought that anyone who calls a Jew a non-Jew on account of their political opinion is making a highly-antisemitic remark.

Labour's whole problem is with disaffected ex-Blairites opportunistically pouncing on this confected ruckus about antisemitism. They mistakenly think they can win the party back to their previous right-wing position from Corbyn and they're finding all this a very useful tool. They can't split away because they remember what happened to the disreputable SDP in the 80s, the mob who helped to hand the next two, at least, elections to Thatcher on a plate (OK, Kinnock was in that mix too...). If only people such as the horrid Louise Ellman, the lying Ruth Smeeth and the long-time disreputable, complacent and unreliable Margaret Hodge, who all showed up with perfect timing before the local elections to diss Corbyn, would realise that they are being used. I note that the horrible Alastair Campbell has now fervently joined the fray.

Incidentally, Iains,

"Until Israel learns that diplomacy is not at the end of a gun barrel then stability in the Middle East is non achievable. Every major power has had to negotiate with "terrorists", what makes the regional bully on the block so different?"

Perfect.
