Thread Name: BS: The UK Labour Party and Antisemitism.
Subject: RE: BS: The UK Labour Party and Antisemitism.
These accusations can be traced back directly to Corbyn's declaration of support for the Palestinian people - within four weeks of his doing so a group of 'Labour Friends of Israel' travelled to Jerusalem and were hosted by Netanyahu and his Ministers, they returned home and the accusations began
Before this event there was not a suggestion of a problem of antisen#mitism within the Labour Party.
All the highlighted complainants of antisemitism have been either supporters of the actions of the Israeli regime or right wing opponents of Corbyn's socialism
In all this, the views of the Jewish members of the Labour party who oppose the behaviour of the Israeli regime have been vilified or totally ignored
The problems of the definition have never been discussed publicly in the press
Who has ever expected a higher standard of behaviour from Israel the of any other state?
The Israeli Army has recently shot down thousands of unarmed demonstrators - the fatalities nearly double those of the internationally condemned Sharpeville massacre
The only difereb#nce between the two has been tha the South Africalm massacre filled our press for months and still acts as an example of extreme state terrorism
The recent mass killing have been met with a blanket of press silence
As far as 'comparison with the Nazis' - this has been a growing phenomenon within the Jewish cultural groups throughout the world and within Israel itself, former leading statesmen, high ranking military officers, ex heads of security, leading Israeli newspapers like Haaretz, Holocaust survivors and their descendents...... all have made this comparison
The Israeli regime is dic#viding The Jewish people into Jews who support its behaviour and 'self-hating Jews who oppose them
The Holocaust was a supreme act of ethnic cleansing, yet Israel's own surveys indicate that nearly half of the Israeli population favour the tehnic cleansing of the Arab People
How can such a comparison be 'antisemitic'?
Any definition of sectarianism or racism that protects political groups or Government policies has to be opposed vigouously
The Nazis sent their opponents to the extermination camps alongside six million Jews
A holocaust survivor friend in Manchester once spoke five words which have governed my life ever since
NEVER AGAIN; NOT TO ANYBODY
