I find it mindboggling how many English “radfems” have literally bought, hook line and sinker, the notion that Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party more generally are anti-semites.
How stupid do you have to be to believe this? It flies in the face of literally every single fact about Corbyn himself, and more generally about the party and/or Labour supporters.
There are “radical” women in the United States who have bought, with zero thought apparently, the weird narratives around Bernie Sanders and his supporters too, so I’m not profoundly shocked, but unfollowing all the idiot British “radical” women on twitter was one of my better decisions because what a bunch of fools they are. It’s just depressingly obvious that most women who call themselves “radical” are no such thing, and are only focused on what they are told and obediently believing in it and parroting it back, just like their genderist arch-nemisises (nemisi?) do. Ain’t none of you different in the end.
“Corbyn has been one of the most outspoken and visible anti-racism campaigners in parliament for decades. In fact, it is his long-standing vocal support for oppressed ethnic and national minorities that lies at the root of the current antisemitism “crisis” in his own party.
The Labour leader has been a leading champion of the Palestinian cause, demanding that Israel end more than half a century of belligerent occupation that has oppressed Palestinians and is in clear breach of international law.
His activism long ago made him unpopular among many fellow MPs in his party, Jews and non-Jews alike, who are members of the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) lobby. They have thrown their support fully behind Israel. LFI is one of the many organisations that connects the Labour party to Israel. All are anachronistic – remnants of a time when the British left treated Israel as nothing other than a sanctuary for Jews fleeing a long history of persecution in Europe.
But these Labour lobby groups reflected too a lingering European racism only too willing to overlook the legacy of Israel’s creation – the mass suffering of Palestinians ruled over by an unaccountable, brutal Israeli army.
It was Palestinians, not Europeans, who were made to atone for Europe’s racism towards the Jewish people. Corbyn acknowledges that historical fact. Most of his parliamentary colleagues refuse to do so. Some may even unconsciously resent him for highlighting their own hypocrisy and unthinking racism towards Palestinians.”
Antisemitism claims have one goal: To stop Jeremy Corbyn winning power
