The well orchestrated campaign against 'anti semitism' in the Labour party has made people fearful of speaking out against the actions of the Israeli state and the IDF in case they are portrayed as 'anti semitic'. And it is working at the moment with not a single word said by the Labour front bench or those on the Foreign Affairs committee. Incredibly there is silence from the likes of Mann and Smeeth silent on this issue in the middle east.
‘I didn’t think my leg would be like this’: Gazan who lost limb in IDF sniper fire talks to RT
"RT has reached out to the IDF to confirm whether the snipers had orders to target limbs of violent protesters as part of the military’s rules of engagement. Yet, the IDF has merely responded by claiming it has been warning Gazans “for weeks” not to approach the security fence, saying the troops were contending “with shootings against them, rock throwing, hurling of firebombs and spreading masking smoke.”
The Israeli military insisted that it used “live fire in a precise and measured manner” only "as a last resort.”
Human Rights groups have recently denounced the IDF’s tactics, pointing out that the use of live ammunition to any part of human’s body has the potential to kill. “The deployment of snipers, and the careful planning and significant number of injuries to the lower limbs does reflect an apparent policy to target [those] limbs,” Omar Shakir, Israeli-Palestinian director at Human Rights Watch, told Washington Post".
John Woodcock who criticised Corbyn for going to a Jewish event, has been suspended by the Labour party for sexual harassment. Let's hope the state controlled BBC and other media outlets are not judge and jury.

This is deliberately baiting the mainstream Jewish community days after they pleaded with him to tackle antisemitism. And he must know that meeting them now will give his members the message that the group’s extreme views are ok. Irresponsible and dangerous".
