Watched some of the speeches and they were very eye opening. There needs to be a cross-party zero tolerance policy on dealing with Antisemitism as history tells us what happens when it is allowed to fester. Let's just hope it gets delt with properly now.

This really. When these things start to get out of control and the leadership remains silent it’s always taken as as endorsement from the party by the nutters.......

There's definitely some truth in that - more than anything I think there needs to be proper education regarding Judaism and Zionism.

No mate, no one was saying anything about Israel. It was mostly about the consistent abuse they get from left wing and Labour people. Others were rightly saying it comes from all areas but what was horrific was the venom of the threats. One Labour MP who previously had taken Ken Livingstone to task reported that his wife had been threatened with rape and his kids with violent threats. This is what happens when the leadership does not rein in the party ‘nutters’, and Corbyn hasn’t done so. The same was done by the nutter wing of the SNP and was not reined in......

Most are online trolls as you know and you know a lot about trolling don't you Pete.

I think it is up to constituents to hold their MP's to account. I've written to my MP asking for his opinion about the video showing an IDF sniper shooting a Palestinian who was on the Gaza side of the fence. I've asked him if he has watched it, why hasn't he brought it up in parliament.

These right winger Blairites will stop at nothing including telling porkies e.g Angela's smashed window and blaming Corbyn. The next step is to blame Corbyn for any attack against the Jewish community. They will attempt to intimidate and bully him in a coordinated attack with the likes of Duncan Smith. Yesterday was an example. Their agenda is 'get Corbyn' by fair or foul.

Those MPs are paid a lot of money from pro-Israeli organisations like the Labour Friends of Israel and the Israeli Labour Party. Jon Woodcock in Cumbria in particular takes a lot of funds off them.

There's no room for threats of violence, but people have to understand that these same people complaining about abuse are the firmest supporters of a regime that murders people for being Arabs and takes their land off them piece by piece leaving them a fraction of their own land. The Israeli state have been the subject of condemnation and action from the UN for decades but are allowed to ignore opposition to their genocide because they serve the purpose of Washington.

There are many non-Zionist Jews in the LP as you know, and they are one hundred per cent behind Corbyn and completely oppose the Israeli state. They're anti-semites too apparently. Preposterous.

I have little time for Israel. From their terrorist bombing attack upon the King David hotel upon British forces who were there to help them, to their opportunist bombing of all and sundry. I have little time for them. However, those that live in the U.K. are British citizens and I would defend the rights of all British citizens equally. Corbyn needs to put his views of the world away and think of our people who just happen to be Jews......

I'm waiting for Pete's thread on the racist abuse recieved by Diane Abbott.

This has had nothing at all to do with anti semitism and is all about chopping away at Corbyn and promoting the Interests of the Israeli lobby.

Racism, sexism, homophobia, anti semitism, what exactly makes one worse than the others?

You couldn’t be further from the truth if you tried. I abhor racism, I detest criminals of any colour or creed. I have no knowledge of whatever racist abuse Abbott receives, however she should receive abuse for being a lying hypocrite combined with the intellectual parity of a small dog. That’s not racist because I couldn’t give a crap what colour or background she is from.......

The people accusing him in the LP are not just Jews, they are a particular grouping of British Jewry who have the Israeli States best interests as their number one priority. If they get stick for that it's not because they're Jews it's because they are Zionists, and plenty of Jews are anti-Zionist and many of them are in the LP fighting the malign influence of the Zionists and their bought and paid for supporters amongst the back benches of the PLP.

Are you calling Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite, Pete?

Bold claim.

I’m calling him a disgraceful leader. I have no knowledge whether he personally is anti semite or not. But because he doesn’t crack down on anti semitism within his party, he leaves himself open to justified criticism......
