My sister's voting Labour - not a good sign

[Ash]

The depicting of Corbyn as a terrorist sympathiser has simply not cut through at all.

Because he isn't, and it is cheap sloganeering to pretend that he is. Ancient sympathies with the cause of Irish Republicanism is irrelevant to the threats of today. Whereas cosying up to Saudi Arabia and supporting terrorists overseas in obedience to the regime-change policies of the USA is more cause for concern. We need voter pressure against such policies imo.

He demonstrably is a terrorist sympathiser.

We *know* what these people believe. They believe in moral equivalence between the West's imperialist past (and its more recent military ventures overseas) and the blow-back of terrorism.

I believe people who hold this view are deeply morally and ethically flawed and I hold them in the utmost contempt.

Right. So he was a terrorist sympathiser, but isn't anymore? So he must have specifically condemned the IRA's actions subsequently, then, right? Oh, hang on... he hasn't, has he? In fact, he's repeatedly failed to do so when asked.

Also, he has repeatedly palled up with Hamas, calling them 'friends' and asking that they be removed from the UK's list of proscribed organisations. Hamas, lest we forget, is an avowedly anti-semitic organisation whose members have repeatedly called for a Jewish genocide.

I'd call that terrorist sympathising.

Are you suggesting that Corbyn may end playing saxaphone at the Isis Ramadam party?

He said: "‘I condemn all the bombing by both the loyalists and the IRA" on TV a couple of weeks ago.

While he regrets that choice of words to describe Hamas, I don't agree with his position on Israel and will not seek to defend his opinions on that.

An absurd defence. He condemns 'all bombing' rather than all terrorist acts. He also condemns the loyalists first - despite the fact that they planted far, far fewer bombs than the IRA. Typical weasel words designed to obfuscate his outright support for the IRA's terror campaign.

To be fair to them, they would probably just settle on good shoeing for Monty rather than the whole holocaust thing.

You realise that the IRA were killing British soldiers and civilians, don't you?

Yes, I do. I lived in Northern Ireland at the start of the Troubles where I and my family were IRA targets.
