Why does Corbyn get a free pass on pro-feminist Mumsnet?

His gang of hard left thugs and goons in 'Momentum' bashed a female Jewish protestor outside a meeting yesterday.

Imagine if this had happened outside a Tory supporters' meeting?

You'd already have dozens of posts on here.

I don't think I'm being unreasonable by suggesting that Momentum are a vile, hateful, bigoted and anti Semitic organisation, but what about the passive aggressive, creepy old git 'leading' the Labour Party and this Trotskyist cult?

It is a proven fact that 'Mr Principled' has taken countless bungs from the deeply misogynist and homophobic theocratic regime in Tehran over the years. No doubt his nice-'friends' in Hamas and Hezbollah have chipped in too.

Why does he get a free pass on Mumsnet ?

Weird how Corbyn and Momentum are absolutely obsessed with Israel and Zionists but are totally silent over the mass murders and gross human rights abuses (the treatment of gays, women, apostates and non-Muslims) in the Muslim world. I suppose talking critically about these things would lose him votes from his main voter base.

People really need to stop reading the Daily Fail.

Yeah those Jews should just shut there mouths and get beaten up for the sake of diversity right?

JC4PMPLZ when Corbyn says that Labour under his leadership has an Anti Semitism problem, do you believe him?

Are all Jews making up the Anti Semitism in Labour?

Is it a Jewish conspiracy?

Your desire to excuse away anti semitism makes you come across as very anti Semitic “ apparently one of the assaulted is not Jewish”. Well that’s alright then! If a Jewish supporter was also hurt then the people committing the assault could not have been anti-Semitic. Do you really believe what you type?

It was not a Labour meeting, nor a Momentum one. Which makes the OP's post totally misleading. There are plenty of non Labour supporters who strongly oppose Israel's continuing war on the Palestinian people.

As a Labour Party member, I acknowledge an issue with antisemitism in all parts of society. I also find any attack on anybody totally unacceptable.

tillytrotter1 · 17/10/2018 09:38

Maybe not many posters here are old enough to recall a seriously left/communist government? The grass is always greener etc..

You do realise that the Labour Party still has a strong presence in the Jewish community? Do they not count anymore?

safariboot · 17/10/2018 09:39

I'd still sooner vote for Labour under JC, even with his awful foreign policy and the anti-Semitism concerns, than vote for the Conservatives under anybody.

You can't say Labour on its own though can you? It's the type of answer Corbyn gives.

You do realise that many are less enthusiastic about Labour and others are turning away completely.

I specifically said it didn't matter that she is not Jewish. I am pointing out the spin and hype. As a Jew and a scholar specifically of Nazi Germany, I am well aware of these matters and also keen to penetrate what is irresponsible spin and muckrakery.

You did not say that at all. Show me where you said that.

And the OP hasn't been back.

Quelle surprise, when coupled with a Daily Fail Cuntastic link.

Yawn. Biscuit

Lovejoywasodd · 17/10/2018 09:54

Zzz ah the old trope of disguising anti semitism behind concern for the Palestinians.

Amazing how all these people can’t seem to see the difference between Israelis and British Jews.

SillySallySingsSongs · 17/10/2018 09:58

Apart from the fact you didn't. What you said was....

Also apparently one of the assaulted is not Jewish.

SillySallySingsSongs · 17/10/2018 09:59

Yawn

Sorry that anti semitism bores you so much. Do you think the same about other hate?

I can't believe anyone could really be a lifelong Labour voter and care so little about the vulnerable in society that they'd vote for the Tories because they allegedly listen to women

SillySallySingsSongs · 17/10/2018 10:03

Taking issue with Israeli treatment of Palestinians isn’t and never has been anti-Semitic. It really doesn’t matter how many times you say it is, it doesn’t make it true.

No one is saying it isn't true.

Corbyn himself has said the party has a problem with anti semitism. Are you saying he's lying?

I’m pretty sure there will be people in every party who are anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, anti-Muslim, racist, sexist, plain arsey....

Another person who can't actually say Labour has a problem with anti semitism...

Surely the vote then should come to the SConservatives from the Jewish community. It makes sense and we are the prty with the best policies of the UK anyway so it's win win . Corbyn didn't gain power last time so let us keep him out in 2022.
I hope no party is discriminatory. Jews are 0.4% and Muslims about 4% and indus about 1.3% of the Uk population and we welcome them all although I hope most people realise there is no God at some point. We are getting there. Just over half of people in the UK now do not believe in God.

breastfeedingclownfish · 17/10/2018 10:27

Corbyn ignores the anti semintism in plain sight. He also has photo ops with men who say they are women and take Women's officer postition in Labour.

He doesnt get a free pass with me.

At this stage I would vote Tory before Labour, and voting Tory was never something I would have considered. Because yes, Labour is that bad and I will now actively campaign against them.
