Labour at it again... anti-Semitism... #II

jackbarron said:
it was interesting to see Emily Thornberry interviewed by Andrew Marr today. She accepts there is AS in Labour. Changes have been made and things have improved, but it is still a problem.

Panorama didn't however look properly at the changes Labour have made, she says, but this doesn't diminish the AS problem.

Indeed in Thornberry's department there is a Jewish woman who won't say she works for her, in social situations with other Jewish people, because it will cause too much trouble.

Thornberry thinks one of the reasons why AS is still a problem is because Shami Chakrabati's recommendations haven't been implemented properly.

Chakrabarti said, according to Thornberry, that the Party needed to have a quasi-judicial process independent of politicians to deal with allegations of AS, but these recommendations haven't been implemented in full or fast enough.

Thornberry says Labour should open its doors to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, who are investigating the Party for AS and racism. The Party should work with them hand in hand.

All of this made sense to me. It's kind of a shame she isn't the leader of the Labour Party.

Interesting to see how the JC acolytes react to this interview

So many leftists will consistently post anti Israel material, and completely ignore the rest of the middle east, even the rest of the world. So China inters millions of Muslims, nothing, Assad slaugters hundreds of thousands of his own people, nilch. Israel kills a handful of protesters, the anti Israel posts appear, one after the other, all condemning the 'racist' regime. I call it education by memes, or a lack of real interest in solving the worlds problems, a stupid tit for tat point scoring game against right wing opponents. Is Israel a racist regime? Is Assad a mass murdering Hitleresque scumbag? Is the mediaeval theocratic state of Saudi Arabia a really horrible place to live if you're a woman, gay or have questions about state control? Is China a totalitarian state that is currently rounding up hundreds of thousands of Muslims to be 're-educated'? Yes lets focus on Israel because America is so intertwined with it and its creation! Are many parts of Afica ran by mass murdering military heads of state? Funny how African states never get any criticism! Oh may'be that's because America isn't so involved in its recent history. I say from now on we boycott Chinese goods, you know because they do bad things.

When Corbyn met Xi he raised human rights, the lefties are always bashing on about Saudi Arabia, it’s the Libdems and tories that continually support such regimes. Apart from Syria of course that Cameron wanted to bomb, that May helped to turn into a Caliphate.

I agree on boycotting Chinese goods because of their sweat shops and slave conditions, sadly so many outsourcing “entrepreneurs” have their “UK designed” products made there to avoid legislation and to take advantage of the slave wage conditions.

What you describe is a very English thing. The adoption of a position of moral superiority from which to (very selectively, as you say) criticise what happens in other countries. Maybe it compensates for the still only semi-digested reality that the UK today counts for very little in global affairs.

"This is what happens when somebody serves both sides, or in reality she serves Israel but says a few mild comments about Palestine. Thornberry is a traitor." https://twitter.com/Citruscrush/status/1150392330379284481

Some intemperate language from Len McClusky yesterday re Tom Watson. Interesting how some mandated officials are more equal than others. Anyway that is off topic.
 
Quite a few people need to consider their position.
