so what do you want here, someone who doesn't believe they are anti-semetic to claim they are in an attempt to open a dialogue to push the agenda of a group of people who's voting record in parliament would make Mussolini wince

Just for people to examine their own views to see if they might be contributing to some of this.

Look at this thread, in which the issue has been raised and acknowledged by almost all, and yet several cannot make the connection between using “Zionist”, Israelis or Jews interchangeably (deliberately or accidentally) and this.

No one is pretending that it isn’t being exploited by groups who want to destroy Corbyn and the left, but really people should stop handing them the ammunition to do it.

I don't have a problem with doing away with terms that evolve into something more offensive than their original intention, and never put myself in a situation where I tell people they have no right to be offended, it's ignorant and lazy.

Though my question was in part wondering what more you would have the Labour party do about anti-semitism than they currently are, but perhaps I misinterpreted your statement if it was referring to the use of the term zionist in this thread
 
Just watched the Andrew Marr show. I'd really be interested in seeing these cases of anti Semitic behaviour published for us all to see and be able to make an informed assessment.
I refuse to listen to these people. And what a combination, btw: one and out and out Zionist (Berger) the other (Watson) who supports and takes cash off a man who dresses up in SS uniforms to get his perverted kicks.

Only Blairism could throw up such creations...and I do mean throw up.
 
I think Tom Watson spoke quite well this morning while on the Andrew Marr show.
He's a backstabbing mess looking to defeat a democratically elected leader (twice) - a man he plotted against actively to get shut of despite the democratic wish of half a million members of the LP.

To paraphrase Donald Tusk: there is a special place in hell for the likes of that unspeakable get Watson.

I’d have a completely independent and effective body for all complaints, with the investigations public once completed. It will still get criticism, but if people can see what it’s doing that will be restricted to those who would criticise us whatever we did.

It’s actually three times, don’t forget he was the one that sparked the row that got rid of Blair.

Correct.

Tom Watson:

Stabbed two LP leaders in the back
Takes half a million in cash off a known nazi worshipping pervert to defend him in parliament
Uses the cover of asking questions in parliament to blackguard a man as a paedophile...which he then has to apologise for

...what an all round disgusting mess of a man...and he's now lecturing others on morality.
 
Given the context of recent history I’d say anti-Palestine is the most vile form of racism that exists. Maybe i’m being anti Semitic by saying that?!

Comrade, I have been actively campaigning with the BDS movement for years. I'm a huge opponent of, what I believe to be an apartheid state, Israel. I am vehemently anti-racist, and as such am anti-Zionist.

Moreover, I have gone door to do with Jewish members of the Labour Party and have been fortunate to attend JLM events at University. I am a huge opponent of all forms of racism, and as such I believe anti-Semities need to be removed from positions within civil society.

It's not a black and white thing.

He offered up a veiled threat to Corbyn, using alleged anti semitism and to paraphrase 'go back, look again and come back with the right conclusion this time'.
Democracy eh?.

But according to some on here it is just that.
