Thread: Labour's anti-semitism credentials are looking as impeccable as ever I see

    Labour's anti-semitism credentials are looking as impeccable as ever I see

    The killer line here is: "Repeatedly pressed about why Shah was not being suspended, he said the comments were antisemitic but the MP had “shocked herself” and did not mean what she said, so she could not be described as antisemitic."

    So these admittedly anti-semitic comments apparently just jumped onto her twitter feed unbidden and had nothing to do with what she thinks, so therefore she isn't anti-semitic because...reasons. Genius.

    Don't know what you're complaining about. The lads only feel about jews how you feel about scousers.

    Mind you, the more I think about her suggestion, the more sense it starts to make...

    I must say, I'm leeetle bit uncomfortable about how readily the right plays the anti-semitism card nowadays. I certainly think it should be used more judiciously.

    Jew-diciously, even?

    Anyway, it's just a very easy stick with which to beat the left and point out how fatally entwined it's become with radical Islamic lunatics whose views it should find abhorrent.

    Also, it's surely a bit less offensive when really, really hot presidents of the NUS are anit-semetic, no?

    Yeah, but you should read Simon Sebag-Montefiore's Jerusalem. It's ****ing depressing how mental everyone seems to be about that place.

    They should fence it off, not allow anyone in and just say "You dont deserve to have nice things"
