“Enough is enough,” Jewish groups have said in a letter accusing Jeremy Corbyn of failing to tackle anti-Semitism.
The only thing that surprises me about the antisemitism row engulfing the Labour party is that anyone is surprised that the hard left is antisemitic. It’s in their DNA and has been for a long, long time. Corbyn is a soupçon short of a communist. A nasty little man who puts on a persona of pleasantness that is nothing but a veneer to disguise his hard left roots. He has not changed since he courted Islamic nutters or the IRA – he and the equally vile Ken Livingstone are cast in the same mould in that both of them like to put on that quaintly British eccentricity, but beneath the slightly clownish exterior hides a deep hatred of everything we stand for. He still hates us and his lack of action regarding antisemitism is merely part of the package. He’s old hard left. What did you expect? Tolerance? Inclusiveness? A love of liberty? Support for Israel? They like to talk the talk, but the reality is rather different.
He always was an evil little man. He always will be.
To adequately deal with anti-Semitism, he’d have to expel himself from the Labour Party.
I don’t know, some of my best friends are labour supporters….
What surprises me, and has done for decades, is:
Why do Jews in UK & USA default to supporting/voting Labour/Democrat?
Why? Anyone?
Many of the Jewish parents at my child’s school are quietly packing up and leaving the UK. Their children looking at US universities as their families emigrate.
Imagine that, just for one minute. Families leaving the UK because they see the writing on the wall from the Left. I truly feel like this is how Germany must’ve felt as the far left National Socialists gained first influence and then power.
All the tactics are exactly the same.
I would never have believed, in my lifetime, in Britain.
And why were so many Jews an important part of the early Bolsheviks – and remained loyal – despite seeing the fate of Lev Davidovich Bronshtein (more widely known as Leon Trotsky)?
Turkeys voting for Christmas has nothing on this phenomenon.
“Turkeys voting….”
Exactly, hence my question.
Shame Phoebe didn’t answer it, instead said rather than address it they will run away to USA and no doubt vote Democrat.
Some kind of genetic mental illness?
