āThe resolution suggests that all anti-Zionismāit statesāis antisemitism. Thatās either intellectually disingenuous or just factually wrong,ā said New York Representative Jerry Nadler, who voted present. āThe authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was and is expressly not antisemitic. This resolution ignores the fact that even today, certain Orthodox Hasidic Jewish communities ā¦ have held views that are at odds with the modern Zionist conception.ā
The Anti Jeremy Corbyn playbook is still in use I see.
That was used as a stick to hit Labour before Corbyn as well. Thereās always been a handful of low level councillors that fail to draw a line between opposing apartheid in Gaza, and sharing comics of big nosed Jews eating babies on Twitter. And I acknowledge that this is mostly because Labour councillors are more likely to be Muslims with family ties to the Middle East in general. It was all overblown by the right wing media to make it seem like the entire Labour cabinet wanted to bring back the gas chambers.
But in fairness you also canāt go and lay a wreath for a Munich massacre terrorist and then expect to go on to be PM of the UK. If that picture was doing the rounds during the Labour leadership contest, I doubt theyād have made him their leader.
Even without all that, I doubt heād have beaten Boris in that election. His Brexit bluster had unified the former UKIP voters under him and that was enough to ensure victory against anyone.
The real reason to hate Corbyn is that heās such a toxic idiot that he hurt Lib Dems getting elected, and theyāre a totally different party.
