Don’t know about mr falters points, but comparing the blockade in Gaza to the sieges of Leningrad and Stalingrad at a rally before parliament gets him right into the definition territory of the working examples of anti semitism, and interesting especially those that Labour chooses not to adopt
Israel is clearly an Apartheid state, I have actually spent time in Gaza and the actions of many of the Israelis i came acrossdisgusted me.
This whole thing smacks of trying to shut up any criticism of a pure and simple racist state
Carry on Corbyn.
Did he though? I checked the link posted by rebel, unfortunately the article is behind a pay wall. The few lines that are visible quotes Corbyn as saying;
"I was in Gaza three months ago. I saw . . . the psychological damage to a whole generation, who’ve been imprisoned for as long as the siege of Leningrad and Stalingrad took place.”
A Labour spokesman said: “Jeremy was not comparing the actions of Nazis and Israelis but the conditions of civilian populations in besieged cities…

Asking the question "is Israel a racist state" on Google brought up a large number of hits which surprised me.
Lots of condemnation going on. Even mentioned a UN agency saying Israel is a 'racist state' and 'apartheid regime'. Even Wikipedia has an article on it.
"Siege, besieged," what does he mean by that?? He cant mean the shopping malls in Gaza, their millionaires, their luxury homes, Abbas and co's palaces or the obesity problems....
