Labour & Anti-Semitism.

No it's because the Palestinian issue for years has attracted a certain number of weird but certainly not wonderful individuals, who bear the Mark of the Loon upon them.


And Zionism hasn't?

Media coverage on the issue is so skewed that any outlet that doesn't conform to the dominant position is assumed to be 'dodgy', even, so it seems, by those who might think of themselves as well informed. That's cultural hegemony in action.

There's also a fear of the consequences of innocently or inadverantly linking to something that might even at several stages removed be connected with something'dodgy' and being set upon by an online army of witchfinders ready and willing to unleash the dogs on anyone they regard as a target.
 
A Zionist once told me that Cuba was an antisemitic country because “if you go there on holiday* and fly the Israeli flag you’ll have problems”

I thought this was a bit of a mental thing to say (why would I waste a holiday in Cuba to wave the flag of some far off country)

*i had just tried to bully the Communist League to get me a trip to Cuba to inspect their mental health services.
 
Solomon fucked it by building that flashy temple.

Taxed the fuck out of the people, laid the groundwork for rebellion in the north, the split of the kingdoms, the solidification of Judah-ist religion and polity, handed power to the Jerusalem aristocracy - who later added loads of the shit bits to the canon (such as the apocalyptic messianic stuff) and took the knee for the Persian tyrants in order to be allowed back to the land and impose their aristocratic counter-revolution on those who remained in the land (who had no interest in building another gaudy monstrosity in Jerusalem, despite their extant monotheism).

“Israel is the ancestral home of the Jews.”

Er, can you keep that ‘indigenous’ stuff to yourselves. Doesn’t help tackle the ‘real’ antisemites in the galut.
 
Dismissing allegations of anti-semitism with "proven links to the Israeli Embassy". There's a word for that.

factual: don’t you remember the undercover recordings featuring Regev? Or you do but hope nobody else does. There’s a word for that too

In the opinion of many Jews (myself included) he patently is. Not that that's the core issue here.

you are right: many Jews seem to think JC anti Semitic, including Boris’ friend Mirvis. However other Jews, including those JC friendly with, disagree. I happen to agree with them, and believe there is a clear divide between anti-Zionism and anti-semitism. You disagree; but the numbers holding any view do not interest me, but the truth does.

And not just 'the wrong sort of Jews' either


 
oh hi again hyperdark.
Attempting a debate relating to religon with the adherent to any religon is a complete waste of time, once indoctrinated myths become facts and facts become plastic.
so you just meant that any conversation about antisemitism should not have any jews in it, got you. cool.
 
Where does this ‘wrong sort of Jew’ phrase comes from?
It's a variant on a snowclone (a cliché that arose from British Rail's claim that the wrong type of snow fucked up its electrics in 1991) used by jewish people who didn't agree with the BoD/CAA take on Corbyn to explain (tongue in cheek) why their views were ignored by mainstream media.
 
JVL sure did appear a lot on mainstream media, for all they were ‘ignored’.
I didn't say they were ignored. Although I should probably have added the qualification that "their views were largely ignored".

Bear in mind also that many of them were accused of not being Jewish and/or were called kapos.
 
It’s a slight twist on the old ‘self-hating Jew’ isn’t it? A phrase used by reform and Orthodox Jews about each other. Herzl apparently was the first to use the exact phrase.
