anti-semites *is* for political expediency. He claims to believes, rightly or wrongly, that there is scope for dialogue as a means to progress on issues of global peace (a view, incidently, shared by some of the worlds most fierce critics of Islamism).

So without anything more concrete, your assertion that he is a sympathiser to anti-semitism does look like a smear.

Were that the case, surely he would be even-handed and share platforms with both sides of the argument? But he doesn't, does he? Corbyn is not involved in the matter as a fair dealer, but as a proponent of one side against the other. He has only ever appeared on platforms supporting the cause of those who oppose Israel's very existence and he has been less than choosey in terms of who he has shared platforms with and described as 'friends'.

To say he is a sympathiser with and supporter for anti-semites is not a smear, it is a demonstrable fact. Whether that is the same as saying that he sympathises with their views on the Jews is another matter. I don't doubt he's probably sincere when he tells people he abhors anti-semitism, but it seems ludicrously naive to throw your hands up in horror at the idea that making common cause with those who are explicitly anti-semitic and never to have once called them on the matter opens you up to suspicion on the question.

Besides, Israel does not make public pronouncements about wiping out particular races, nationalities or peoples. Hamas, Hizbollah and Jeremy's other pals do.

Israel or Saudi as both of these countries don't give a f**k about our interests and both do nothing to help world peace and understanding..and tbh itsa shame they cant just get on with it and turn both coutries into glass imo and the rest of the world can crack on without them.

Basically jew or arab the whole area is just a troublesome bunch of blood thirsty cunds ..f**k em all

whereas if you support another side of the cause, if anything more even handedly and fairly - I'm talking about actively supporting acts of violence here, then you are labelled a friend of terror.

And yes, whilst israel dont make pronouncements about wiping out swathes of people, they do a fantastic job of actually doing it, seemingly with the approval of countries like us and the US.

and is unashamedly, on matters of Israel/Palestine, on "their side". Should he ever become Prime Minister (snigger) then he would obviously be required to take a more even-handed approach.

Just to confirm, if he were pro-israel,vor at least undecided, you would be comfortable with his choice of friends?

Given the strategy this far has been some way off successful, even you have to admit that, maybe it's time to start dealing with the situation in a slightly different way, no?

Oh and I don't think being anti-Israel and anti-semitic are the same thing. I just think that, were there a Venn diagram illustrating the two things, there would be an awful lot of crossover. :-)

I think that sort of generalisation and call for the destruction of millions of Jewish lives is pretty anti-Semitic, don't you?

it was anti semetic to say that arabs and Israelis should all be anhaited..my bad :judge: its just confusing how being anti jew gets called anti semetic then ? and how can Hamas be anti semetic if they are semites ?


Today, the word "Semite" may be used to refer to any member of any of a number of peoples of ancient Middle East including the Akkadians, Assyrians, Arameans, Phoenicians, Hebrews (Jews), Arabs, and their descendants.
