Labours ongoing anti semitism row

I’m on topic with this thread

Perhaps also read what I wrote again, I made no accusation.

As I said, it's storm in the teacup, and if it wasn't for that f whit Corbyn it would be silenced by now.
Maybe this "noise" is a distraction to the Israel law just passed?

Which law? The segregation law that actually didn’t end up containing those words? Or is there another law?

Perhaps best discussed in the Israel critique thread to not mix that with anti semitism.

We can be better than labour

But you haven't read it. Much of the content on both threads is tainted by people's understanding of what they have read on social media, with no idea what the documents really state.

What I really don't get about this, I mean what I really really don't get about this is... does the British Public as a whole (as in enough to elect the Labour Party) care about Israel or Palestine?  Frankly I'm sure the vast majority of people rate it way down their ranking of what matters.  So why for the love of God Corbyn just can't put a lid on it and carry out a quick old fashioned lefty purge to appease those who have been offended (with good reason) and concentrate on getting in power and dealing with things we care about I just don't know.

If Corbyn/Labour got elected even in the state they are in right now, would they "solve" the middle east problem?  Fat chance.  What pressure would they even mount against Israel?

At the end of the day I'm worried Corbyn is so wedded to his ideology that he loses track of the fact he won't achieve anything if he doesn't get elected.

And if I could I'd take him a side, slap him a bit with a wet salmon, and explain that if a group of people murdered millions of his relatives/friends/citizens/race then he'd find it really really insensitive to criticism him by comparing him in whatever banal and unnecessary way to those fascists, and he should really concentrate on the prize... I'd get arrested, but it would probably do him some good ;-)

I don't believe anyone here have read it even if they claim they have.
It's been discussed many many times, direct questions to people who claim to have, but no direct answers.
Maybe a job for the weekend to try and find the actual document.
Unfortunately Google has failed to help find said document. I can find 1M news articles discussing it.
But if people haven't read the document, then surely default position is no opinion or at least neutral. Does this thread appear to have a neutral opinion?

He is still that back bencher of old and with all those stupid misgivings that words are more beneficial than deeds . He reminds me of JF in many ways and neither of them should ever lead a party let alone a country . I did not despise him until Momentum became a thing of tollerence for him .

As it stands Labour need a new leader as far away from the JC mantra.

Momentum activists accused of 'anti-Zionist ranting' in Labour antisemitism row

It just never ends, LBC was picking up on this story this morning. Very sad.
