Does Labour have a problem with Anti-semitism?

When you look this, it's hard not to think the labour party has a problem that needs dealing with:

The problem of antisemitism is not invented by Jews to smear the left  –  David Hirsh

Last time I looked, we were a secular society where taxation is NOT a choice for most people - which over the years I have at least contributed to myself.

I have no choice but to accept government benefits or I would starve to death or die of exposure.

I like most humans am full of hypocrisies and trivial prejudices, but one thing I strive to do is treat all other human beings as individuals and on their own merits. I endeavor not to be a hypocrite about those who's beliefs I criticise and would never condone the idea of expelling or transporting the Jewish people out of Israel NOR the Arabs either.

Yet there seems to be a major issue with someone talking about how terrible it is to suggest Israel be moved and how Muslims countries have a large anti-semite problem, yet when it is pointed out that nearly half of Israeli Jews want Arabs to be expelled or transported out of Israel, it's dismissed off hand or excused.

Don't be.  Thousands of people die every year because they are too proud to accept help.  Don't be one of them.   I'm trying to help, so will say no more.  

PS, I don't believe in any God(s), you can accept my advice

Israel in the next few years will becoming to a crisis point where the Arab Israelis will be out numbering the Jewish Israelis. Its been mentioned quite a few times by many people that the country will more than likely be going down the apartheid type route if that happens.

Newport councillor denies anti-Semitism allegations - BBC News

Suspended for directly criticising Israeli government policy. Not even vaguely anti-semitic.

IronGiant

Pending an investigation.  If he wasn't being Anti-Semitic then he will presumably be reinstated.  Whether Anti-Semitic or not, directly comparing the Israeli regime to the Nazis is likely to upset someone.  And if the Labour Party are looking for excuses to clean house then he's unwittingly given them one.

"Jews in whose name #israeli #zionist regime commit war crimes should worry: it's same arrogant mentality as #nazis".

Maybe using the term Jews rather than Israelis was unwise.

And whenever Israel is criticised, someone mentions the Holocaust...

And mud sticks - either Labour or someone else is busy scraping the twitter accounts of every Muslim sounding Labour member to look for any perceived slight.

Pisto_Grih

No, that would mean something different. He is calling out Jews who support the actions of the Israeli regime because they are Jewish.
