Corbyn compares Israel to Isis...

[Pickman's model]

Video clip I saw it did sound like "various Islamic states and organisations". Of course he could have left islamaphobia out of it altogether for this specific report about ant-Semitism but then I'm sure they'd have found something else.

Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't

I still think we will see them all walk out of the Commons chamber when he walks in.

*Walks in*

*Senses something is not quite as it normally is*

*A hush descends*

*He looks to his left, then slowly to the right, peers over the top of his spectacles*

*His brow furrows, his shoulders shrug*

*He sits down, one leg draped louchely over the other as he arranges his papers on the ample space on the benches either side of him*

*He rises, stands silently, contemplating*

*He coughs*

*He draws a breath*

“Now, Miriam from Welwyn Garden City has written in to ask just what is to be done about the potholes in Fair Lawn...”

Emily Thornberry Apologises To Israeli Ambassador After Jeremy Corbyn Accused Of Comparing Israel To Isis

Thornberry phoned Mark Regev, Israel’s ambassador in London, to apologise for any offence caused, The Huffington Post UK has been told.

Regev was sent the speech after it was delivered but before he talked to Thornberry.

According to the BBC, Regev had “no issue” with Corbyn’s comment and did not believe the Labour leader had been comparing Israel to Isis.

Says it all.

Mills and Boon are asking you to call them back - they say it's urgent.

Daily Mail has the full video of the comments, they are relatively innocuous and certainly aren't anti-Semitic MP Ruth Smeeth walks out of the party's anti-Semitism event | Daily Mail Online

They don't even appear to refer specifically to the MP that is claiming anti-Semitism.

Guido, Sky and others have edited the video including the audio at the start of the video to make it impossible to hear the early comments.

Disgusting.

More possible versions:
1) Labour MP Ruth Smeeth called out for conspiring with journalists against Corbyn, immediately conspires with journalists against Corbyn.
2) Man suggests article title "antisemitism at antisemitic event" to Labour MP Ruth Smeeth as the next headline to discredit Corbyn, she responds immediately.
3) Insufficient evidence of endemic antisemitism in Labour party, MP Ruth Smeeth so unused to lack of drama since Brexit that she walks out in protest.

Those could all work just as well for the same exchange. Who is that man sitting behind her that fed her the plan?

Smeeth has a PR background and formerly "campaigned" (sic) for BICOM. Surprised? No, me neither.

She's also a former deputy director of Hope Not Hate.

Video of it here



I can't tell what happened from the video but she looks like she was desperately looking for an excuse to kick off, it's very staged. The comments on the tweet suggest that she was just accused of being a mole for the Torygraph which she probably is.

See, this is when frank fuckwit field should have jumped if he was in any way honestly doing it over anti-semitism
