Touchy bunch the Jews, as bad as kopites for getting offended by everything

Mocking someone protesting against apartheid suggests that racism just might not be her motivation after all.

There is a minority of antisemitic filth inside the Labour Party for certain but for David Collier, Rachel Riley etc the issue isn't with that, it is all about Palestine. They are extremists who can't be reasoned with. There's no debate to be had about what goes in that part of the world as far as they concerned. Israel = good, everyone else = bad.

Yarp.

Jeremy Corbyn is coming under fire for the way he pronounced Epstein by none other that David Baddiel, who has done ‘blackface’ before. Incredible.

This whole anti-semitism ploy to destroy Labour has gone beyond the joke. We’ve got a Prime Minister calling women hijabs letterboxes! Ffs.

Exactly. German name,German prononciation. What's the problem?

No you're still on GOT. This is the Rachel Riley is deranged segment of the general election.

Jeremy Corbyn should have sorted this anti-Semitic crap early doors instead of letting it fester. He's not very good at turning defence into attack.

By pronouncing Epstein properly?

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

One of the biggest witch-hunts by the Tory's and Tory supporting media I've ever seen is this anti semitism accusations on the Labour party.

Labour have investigated any cases brought against any individuals and will not tolerate any racism in the party.

The fact Corbyn pronounces a german name correctly and it's open season again just proves my point.

No one cares about the "anti-semitism issue". It wont persuade one person to vote either way.

It is not 'the Jews' who are attempting to revive this yet again, but well-connected and cynical people who fear/loathe Corbyn, and who are willing to use any means necessary to harm him, whatever the cost - which includes growing public inurement and indifference to the very real revival of anti-Semitism in the UK and beyond by drowning it out and associating it with insultingly absurd nonsense like the pronunciation of 'Epstein'

Which was picked up by a troll account and reported in that well known influencer of British opinion ‘The Jersulam Post’.

It’s fairly easy to see why that publication has issues with Corbyn. Rather than ignore it as the views of a nationalist mouth piece thousands of miles from home the Corbyn fan club on Twitter got angry and made a huge deal of it, which then gave more fuel for those seeking to knock him.

It’s a total non-event that’s been elevated on Social Media by people feeling they need to defend everything bad said about him. Would have been far better to ignore it. People need to look up the Streisand Effect.
