robo - I am appalled and angered by cynical tactics the Pro-Israel Lobby,
opportunist UK right wing mass media,
and tory / far right adversaries,
have allegedly been deploying in order to assert undue influence on the UK Labour Party.

If I raised my head too high in vocal opposition to this,
it seems I could at worst be accused of being antisemitic and/or a self hating Jew...!!!???

It's this anxiety of not knowing where the goal posts of definitions of antisemitism are being shifted,
that is successfully silencing dissent...

You've probably seen yourself in recent years,
how freely such accusations have been gratuitously dished out,
by mostly non Jewish right wingers,
right here in mudcat BS threads...

It is the weaponisation of blatant false accusations of antisemitism,
that I am absolutely opposed to.

The Israel issue has assumed far to much prominence out of all proportion
in regard to UK domestic politics and elections.
But merely stating that could be sufficient to trigger hostile accusations...?????

Whatever starmer's longer term strategy might be,
right now his easy capitulation has legitimised too many highly dubious accusations
against the party he has been voted leader of..

He is a lawyer, and probably professionally accepting of plea bargains;
persuading innocent defendants to plead guilty to lesser crimes
in order to avoid the risk of protracted trials,
and potentially heavier sentences..

He is also a politician plotting an expedient course he hopes will work out for his objectives..

So who knows how his mind is working since he took over control of the party...???

I don't know enough about the facts of this court case,
regarding the Panorama TV program whistle blowers.
So will refrain from stating any gut feeling opinion,
or unreasonable preconceived bias.

I value objectivity, and real justice too much...
