Could Zack Polanski be any more of an obnoxious twat?

Corbyn isn't and wasn't antisemitic. ( Nor were the majority of his supporters expelled by Keir Starmer) Jeremy Corbyn has a long ( 30years +) and honourable history of defending Jewish Communities and eg organising the celebration of the Battle of Cable Street when the people of the East End stopped Fascist antisemitic marches.

Jewish Voice for Labour members were many of those expelled not for antisemitism ( as alleged ) but for their disagreement with the policies of the Israeli Government eg of the attacks on Gaza etc. and wanting Starmer to stand by his statement at the time of his election as Labour Leader that he would largely continue with the policies of Corbyn re left policies eg support of the NHS and nationalisation of our Utilities etc.

Being critical of the policies of the state of Israel is not being anti semitic as the hundreds of Rabbis and Cantors in Europe and the US who have signed the recent declaration (criticising the actions of the Israeli Government) testify. Not to mention the demonstrations in Israel itself by Jewish Israeli critics of their own Government policies.

I saw a thing of some (older) women with placards saying “Jews go home!”. When questioned, they said they should go back where they came from And where’s that, they were asked. “Germany or Hungary” 🤔

Yes, such a difficult problem. The irony is that people like the Greens are making it worse. By creating a hostile environment, they're encouraging Jews to leave Europe and settle in Israel, which will make Israel less willing to compromise as they feel they are backed into a corner.

The Egyptians don't want the Palestinians that's why they kept the Rafah Gate closed. They'd had enough trouble with the Muslim Brotherhood. As pp have said, the Jordanians don't want them because of problems in the past. Plus if you look at the boundaries of Mandatory Palestine, much of it is in what is now Jordan. Tricky.

And which taxes would you increase? The higher earners are already maxed out tax wise. It’s the low earners who are paying a pitiful amount but they’re paid a pitiful amount too in comparison to their housing costs so we can’t raise taxes there either.

We cannot raise taxes any more. We need to reduce spending instead. Shame Zak doesn’t understand this.

Egypt and Jordan made peace with Israel and surprise surprise neither are at war.

What do you think these 'perpetrators' would do if surrounding countries stopped attacking them and dropped the goal of exterminating them?

“Blood libel” - give it a bloody rest would you! Israel are the perpetrators, not the victims. They’ve attacked every single one of their neighbouring countries, and slaughtered 70,000 Palestinians in the last 2.5 years.

Like I said, criticising the state of Israel is not ‘antisemitic’, just because you don’t like what I’m saying. And if Israel doesn’t want to be criticised, it should stop invading lands that belong to other countries and stop murdering innocent people.

The Greens have become the home of the rump of the Corbynite Labour Party. The sorts of people expelled by Starmer for being antisemitic.

And Polanski is a self satisfied wazzock, I can’t stand him.

That's what's happened though. It's become very binary and simplistic.

So none of the neighbouring countries ever attacked Israel? And all of the 70,000 Palestinians were all innocent civilians?
War is awful, but this conflict is very complex. What’s the point in reducing it to a simple goodies vs baddies?

There has been no genocide in Gaza. That is a blood libel and it is antisemitic.

Hopefully the 16 year old voting idea will be scrapped !

I read an article in the Guardian online where a journalist shadowed him for a few days and he is certainly making an impact. He is approached by people who want to talk to him, but this is probably because he isn’t the usual type of party leader and seems personable.
Their policies are madness , but people will buy into them , sad to say. They know which demographics to appeal to as well.
