Labour & Anti-Semitism.

[skyscraper101]

Let’s not get caught up in semantics.

Anti-semitism

Not anti-semetism

Sas is Scottish, maybe he means semmet, an undershirt or vest.

 

[Pickman's model]

I thought that was a pastry shop in Fulham?

Aunty semett's

 

[Badgers]

Aunty semett's

That is the one

 

[Sasaferrato]

That’s the thing: nobody is paying any attention to it.

Also from the Guardian.

'Watson said he had received 50 complaints about antisemitism from colleagues in the past week, which he had forwarded to Corbyn. “Jeremy needs to understand that if we are going to be in No 10, he needs to change the Labour party,” he said. He needs to take a personal lead in reviewing those cases, and recommending to the national executive committee what needs to be done.”

Details of the dossier, seen by the Guardian, include Labour members sending tweets linking Hitler and the Rothschilds, accusing Jews of murdering children and questioning whether Jewish MPs and councillors have “human blood”.

All of the cases have been raised by Watson or other Labour MPs over a period of several months, but no action has been reported back to those who have raised the complaints, he said.

One case involved a tweet, which read: “Wonder why Jewish people are hated wherever they’ve settled over last 2000 years. Their double dealing, back stabbing, cheating chilling coldness has always only one outcome. I wonder what the average period of time is before people fed up with the anti-social Jews kick em out”.

Another concerned a tweet saying that, “Jews murder people and children”.

A third complaint involved comments about Jewish MPs and councillors that said: “Don’t know what runs through their veins, not human blood” and “their hearts and brains totally devoid of humanity”.

A fourth complaint related to social media posts, including one that said: “Hitler is an illegitimate Rothschild, so any offspring of him who would have a good chance of being propelled into a position of power.”'

What a fucking cesspit the Labour party has become.

It's always been a cesspit

If all of that is true the Labour Party is still nowhere near the shitcunt cesspit the Conservative Party always has been and always will be.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Anti-semitism

Not anti-semetism

Indeed. I'm not having a good day with my spelling.

Yeh the tory party a horrendous midden

Another title edit, thrid time lucky.

 

[mauvais]

That article's a heap of shit.

You have some evidence of anti-Semitism in the Conservative party? Please do post it.

I don't doubt that it exists, however, it is the Labour party in the well documented spotlight at the moment.

 

[Shechemite]

Let’s not get caught up in semantics.

I take your point, but it’s important to understand: the etymology of antisemitism; how it was the expression was popularised to provide ‘scientific’ legitimacy to anti-Jewish bigotry (but has since come to be used as to describe anti-Jewish bigotry); and how ‘semitism’ is a term used by antisemites to mask their antisemitism

ETA actually I didn’t see what you were replying to. Nevertheless it’s still important.

Would you like to see evidence of the pope's religious convictions and a bears toilet habits too?

Please tell me that there are no further errors. My typing is always trying to catch up with the thought... not always successfully.

I would like the . removed and ideally the 'and' replaced with & just to keep things neat.

Also I think the correct way to write it is 'anti-Semitism' rather than 'Anti-Semetism' but am not sure about that

Yeh I wonder why the racism endemic in the tory party so rarely receives the attention it deserves. The likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg dining with other far-righters, for example...

There’s loads of racism (of all stripes) in the Tories. They are a thoroughly racist party

Is it a competition ?

The 'spotlight' as you say has been mostly created by a media who have a lot to gain by keeping our greedy, self-serving and cruel Tory government in power.

You got one of your wishes.

I don't start that many threads, but I don't think I've ever had to edit a title before.

This lot in the comments have the measure of it about right:

Nothing to with Jewish people inside and outside of the Labour Party raising it?

I shouldn't imagine that the media favour either stripe of government. Give any government time and they will fuck up. A bit like football managers really, what talent there was dissipates.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Quite. Distraction is of course a very common way of pushing the conversation off the point.

 

[tim]

This article attacking Ralph Mlliband and by association his son who was leading Labour at the time, is as good as an antisemitic dog-whistle as you'll find anywhere

Perhaps not as overt as this from an earlier edition of the Daily Mail.

They're still not keen on those who mix with the wrong sort of Jew

 

[Shechemite]

Tbh I just find the idea of bourgeois political parties (such as Labour) being subject to too much scrutiny to be utterly bizarre. As I’ve not exactly been subtle about on these boards, I’ve soent my life in an out of institutional ‘care’ settings. The response to labour racism is chillingly familiar to the responses I’ve received and witness when complaining about abuse in care settings/services.

One of those similarities is care providers replying saying ‘but we’re not any worse than other providers’. It’s irelevant and sickening

And tbh, even if I wasn’t jewish, my contempt for labour would still be there, given their support for discrimination against people with mental health problems.

The Islamaphobia that is allegedly rampant within the Tory Party, as well as their hesitancy in rejecting dog whistle reactions and prejudice from the right-wing press was supposedly being highlighted from earlier last year.
Yet there is little evidence in the said media about any of this.
