You ARE opposed to Labour, you DO resort to quoting from right-wing media and pro-Zionist sources, you ARE a sycophantic supporter of the Israeli regime

None of that is true.
You may be anti-Tory, but I used to vote Labour under Blair.
I am not right wing and do not quote from right wing media. You made that up.
I mostly quote from Guardian and Independent.
Never from "pro-Zionist" sources. You just make shit up Steve. Why?

As you and others put the Palestinian case, I have put the Israeli case.

It's been traced back as far as the 1780s in central Poland.

What photos still exist, it's interesting looking at the faces of strangers who are somehow part of me.

It'll be good memory therapy for my old mum asking what she can recall of her jewish father and his family back in the 1930s
before he disappeared from her life....

FACT: the entire world does not revolve around the real or imagined problems of Jews and Israel..
no matter how much you might like it to be;
or how many decent folk you accuse and attempt to discredit as antisemitic,
because they do not acquiesce to your ideologically bigoted fundamentalist doctrine.


I don't think I've ever encountered you before this thread, so I started off with an open mind as to what kind of person you could be.

Now after several days, and many posts, I can't help thinking you might be more than a touch irrational and deluded...????????

I certainly am no longer able to take you seriously.



To put this into perspective:

Ake is a man who I very often disagree with.
I am aware he is intensely disliked by other 'left wing' mudcatters for his purported views on certain important issues.
Yet, I still find aspects of him that I can't help respecting, and almost admire.

Keith, is on a completely different wavelength to me,
We rarely if ever agree at all.
But he is one of our traditional British reactionary 'eccentrics' and at heart probably a fairly decent chap.


You on the other hand now seem to me to have no redeeming characteristics, or credibility whatsoever.

Almost half who think there's no problem means that more than half do think so. I'm a member and I do think there is an issue that needs to be investigated and resolved. I wonder what the pollsters would have made of that response. We'll never know because they didn't ask me. And why "read Jew-controlled media?" Can you justify that extrapolation by referring to any remark you've read anywhere that could have had truckloads of Labour members thinking "yeah - the only media who blew this lot up were the media controlled by Jews"? You told us to read that into it - now justify it. Carry on like that and you'll be an embarrassment even to Keith.

You ARE opposed to Labour, you DO resort to quoting from right-wing media and pro-Zionist sources, you ARE a sycophantic supporter of the Israeli regime - and I would add also that you have very little understanding of what antisemitism actually entails, hardly surprising when one considers your sources of propaganda. Telling it like it is is not a personal attack. It's displaying the kind of straightforwardness and honesty that I've tried to get you to embrace in this thread, so far to no avail as you, and your friend bobad while we're at it, have failed to answer a single question or rise to a single challenge put to you. And it is sheer hypocrisy to jump on this dogged anti-Labour bandwagon when there is so much racism, often of the institutionalised kind, far worse than anything in the Labour Party, in some of the organisations you've spoken up for in the past, UKIP and the Christian churches, for example. Your agenda in this thread is all too transparent, and we are not fools.

Ake - have I ever said I expect Corbyn to be the next Labour Prime Minister...

I was as surprised as anyone else that he won the leadership contest, and immediately stated at the time
the blairites would be out for any opportunistic excuse to undermine and discard him...

That much is an obvious negative divisive undercurrent in the Labour party

Whether that amounts to an 'internal war' or just antagonistic business as usual for cynical egotist careerist politicians..
it's open for debate...

[Personally, I think Corbyn is too much of a quiet tolerant gent with the bitterites..
He should have been tougher and kicked some of the ring leaders out..]

What's happened in the last couple of weeks is a clear attempt by right wing media, tories, Israeli regime supporters,
and anyone else who fancies a chance to get a sly kick in to Labours head, to force as big a destabilising division as they could get away with
in the run up to elections.

So, I do think I'm as close enough to the beam as any well informed and experienced observer of the political shit heap can be...

You are anti-Labour and you are very much pro-Israel, a sycophant in fact. You've made a Big Thing of this in this forum because you want to have an opportunistic dig at the Labour leadership, just like the Israeli regime, their lackies in the media, bitter Blairites and the right-wing press over here. Nothing seems so sweet to you right-wingers as an apparent split in the Labour Party and you are going to make hay. As with any major organisation, Labour, the Conservatives, UKIP, the Beeb, the executives of multinationals, the Catholic Church, the NHS, the armed forces, the police, you name it, there are likely to be a few extremely misguided souls who may either harbour antisemitic sentiments or operate their vocal cords on the matter while their brains are still at home. When you sat in your pew last Sunday, you can bet your life that a bloody good smattering of those around you hated Jews/Muslims/blacks/immigrants. Maybe all four in some cases. Christian religions have been institutionally antisemitic for centuries. Let's hear you having a go at THEM, Keith.

You still haven't been to Specsavers, have you, cowardly-trolling-outed-ex-anonymous Guest? Jonathan Freedland is explaining to the interviewer WHAT IS BEING DISCUSSED. He is not saying that the Labour Party is antisemitic. He says what I've said from the start, that there may be a few rotten apples. As for who should investigate, well who would you suggest? The police? An all-party committee? No crime has been committed as far as we know. So who? Come along, I want to know! Oops, sorry, I forgot that neither you nor Keith are ever capable of answering questions or backing up your assertions. I like Jonathan Freedland a lot. But when he says "And then the other is a criticism of Israel's right to exist, which again I think there is a way of arguing that that is completely legitimate" I profoundly disagree with him. Israel is a reality that has been with us for almost seventy years and no-one has the right to suggest that we dismantle it. The state of Israel consists of millions of Jewish, Arab and neither-of-the-above families who are largely blameless for the political situation. Our aim should be to make it a secure, peaceful and fair homeland for everyone who lives there. The policies of the latest and previous regimes militate against that, sadly. I don't care what my allies in these threads think about that, to me that discussion is destructive and should be off the agenda. I want the Israeli regime to behave much better, to stop its racism towards Palestinians and to have its military aid made conditional on that. Once that happens, the threats from outside will cease. Everyone has an interest in peace, security and prosperity that trumps war and human rights abuse every time. These constant, perverted attempts by supporters of Israel to turn Jewish people back into victims are deplorable and they get in the way of a peaceful solution. They actually hurt the people they are supposed to be supporting. And you two are the worst offenders on that score here by a country mile. And at least one of you calls US "Jew-haters."

There is the world as it objectively 'is'.

There is the world as it is 'understood' and theorised by multivarious opposing fundamentalist factions.

This is a world of endless conflict and cruelty........

There are the millions of ordinary families who only long for a peaceful productive safe and secure life for themselves and their future generations.....

These are always the first to suffer
when old men blinded by hatred and vengeance unleash their young indoctrinated testosterone & adrenaline crazed fighters for the cause....


... apart from all that, it's quite a nice sunny day here in south west england.. 😎

Got to go get a train to sort out the problems caused by overworked Drs and clinic admin workers
who have left my old mum with incorrect medications for the next 4 weeks.. 😣

No Labour party will ever attain perfection, but at least I'd hope the NHS would be in better shape
under a Labour Govt inspired by Corbyn's positive social welfare legacy...

From an NPR interview with Jonathan Freedland, columnist for The Guardian on the question of anti-semitism in the Labour Party.

"So I've been really clear that criticism of Israel is completely fine. And as you say, I've dished it out myself and do. So that's not what's being discussed here. Rather, what's being discussed are two things. First is criticism of Israel that comes dressed in the garb of traditional anti-Jewish language or imagery that would be familiar to any anti-Semite long before there even was an Israel, so notions of Jewish conspiracy or Jewish control of the media or Jewish responsibility for all the world's problems and misfortunes. So that's one form.

And then the other is a criticism of Israel's right to exist, which again I think there is a way of arguing that that is completely legitimate. And there was always a tradition of anti-Zionism among Jews too. But nevertheless is framed in such a way that is applying to Israel a standard (ph) that would not and is not applied to any other country. And there too by making this exception of Jews saying they are the only people in the world who are not allowed the right of self-determination, then too there can be a question of whether a line has been crossed. So I think those are the two areas. And in this recent controversy about figures within the Labour Party, it has been both of those that have come up."

The Militant,

"BY JONATHAN SILBERMAN
LONDON — A rise of Jew-hatred as the capitalist crisis deepens, combined with years of the left's repetition of anti-Semitic slander — often under the guise of supporting the Palestinian struggle — is fueling turmoil in the British Labour Party."

"But anti-Semitism is no "side issue." And Labour's turmoil is not the product of a smear campaign, but of its toleration over years of anti-Semitic slanders and the promotion of open Jew-haters, along with demonization of Israel and campaigns for Israel's destruction.

Shah shared a Facebook posting in 2014 that read, "Solution for Israel-Palestine Conflict — Relocate Israel into United States." The posting stated the "transportation cost" would be less than three years' worth of Washington's support for Israeli defense spending."

" Left-wing papers, including Morning Star, Socialist Worker and Socialist, have joined the denial chorus."

So if you don't know any, why did you start this thread? Let me guess: you and bobad have seen an opportunity, anything will do, to dish the dirt on the Labour Party. Never mind that you haven't got a single name to support the antisemitism smear. I've given you the searingly honest answer, that, like any large organisation with thousands of members, there will be the occasional rotten apple and a few people who open their mouths before engaging their brains. But antisemitism is neither endemic nor institutionalised in the Labour Party, and is opposed by the leadership. Now put up or shut up. Either you can name names, and if you're right you can do that fearlessly, or you're just interested in joining the shit-stirrers like the Mayor of London and others of the Blairite tendency (two-time losers who handed us a decade of Toryism, lest we forget) in doing what they can to undermine Jeremy Corbyn at every opportunity.

I do not know the names of any Labour antisemites, but Khan clearly does.
He has accused Corbyn of failing to call them out.
Corbyn has at least set up an enquiry into the issue of antisemitism in the party, so he is not in complete denial.

Oh, go and play your silly little games with your fellow party members, I'm sure they'll be happy to play with you. Off with you now sad, little man.

Nope, sorry. YOU name them please. Hey, don't forget to give us your sources! Come on now. We thought you were a coward when you were posting as the anonymous name-calling Guest. Surely you don't want to confirm the impression now that poor ol' bobad has been outed? Names, old chap, names! Those Labour Party antisemites if you please! The Telegraph daren't do it, and now YOU want us to dig up your partisan websites. Sod that, old bean. Name names! Be a devil! Be like me! 😂😂😂

Bobad - errrmmm... just so I understand exactly what's making you so apoplectic...

Are you only this enraged by the thought of left wing antisemites...???

Are the innumerable truly nasty real ones on the right not that much bother to you...???? 😕

I guess you haven't been following the news. Try Googling "labour party anti semites". Plenty of names in the articles.

No, really. You've gone on and on about these antisemites but you daren't name a single one. You don't know any, do you? And that is not tempting you to name Mudcat members, before you go off half-cock. Labour Party antisemites if you don't mind, please. If you don't want to respond with names, and as I can see that you're getting all frustrated and sweary, I don't mind if you don't answer. I'm like that, you know. Generous to those with delusions of adequacy.

By the way, have you decided to come clean and post only as bobad from now on? Make an honest man of yourself at long last? Cor, that new rule's a real pisser, no? 😂

I bet you couldn't find a single one who would come here and back you up.

All the Jewish members that I knew, except for MGM, have left Mudcat precisely because of the stench generated by people like you and your fellow regressive left travellers. Their noses are keen.

How pathetic is that, bobad/Guest-liar. You dig up a two-week-old article in a arch-right-wing paper that STILL doesn't manage to name names. Total tired old news. You're a desperado, aren't you. And a double-dealing, multiple-identity desperado at that. God knows why you're still here, but that isn't my choice, unfortunately. Name those names if you dare. Piss or get off the pot. You bring Mudcat into disrepute and you bring every Jew on earth into disrepute, which is as wicked as it gets. I bet you couldn't find a single one who would come here and back you up.

Maybe you should target The Telegraph with your inane threats: "Labour has secretly suspended 50 members for anti-Semitic and racist comments".

Oh yeah, I forgot, this is nothing but a conspiracy by the Jewish controlled media against the glorious leader who counts Jew hating terrorist groups among his friends.

Of course you wouldn't. Care to name names of members of my party who are antisemitic? If we're teeming, it should be easy enough. Don't forget to give reasons, though. There are laws.

Ah yes, the opinion of someone who admits to being a member of a party teeming with anti-semites. We wouldn't expect different.

Lovely man, Eban. He defended Israel's part in the Six Day War by lying about it. He worked with that arch-dove Ben Gurion. He dissed the Palestinians, saying that "Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity" after they backed out of a totally bogus round of "peace talks" in 1973. Oh yes, bobad The Anonymous Guest. You choose your sources so carefully, don't you? Not what honest people do exactly, is it? But how would you know?
