Terrible but not surprised - Jewish community under threat

It appears Jews are not safe in the UK at all.

Can we seriously look at the impact of anti semitism now?

You might want to explain then?

Stop talking nonsense 😂Honestly, it's the most ridiculous and tedious reach.

I'm sure if Starmer was actually antisemitic his wife would be serving him papers.

I 'might'. But I don't want to.

Well that's very grown up of you 😂

Why is it win win for his wife?

What, rooting out the antisemites and cranks? Good for him I say. You might want to reflect on why you have a problem with that and keeping throwing about the phrase "diluting antisemitism", not just on this thread.

It's quite obvious you don't know the first thing about antisemitism and how it manifests itself, and how it's really fucking easy to spot.

Why I have a problem with somebody manipulating democracy to further his own interests... and manipulating the Jewish people to do so?

Why are you OK with that? He has expelled more Jewish people from the Labour party than his predecessor did... under the guise of antisemitism.

This link explains it pretty well

"There is, however, another, equally concerning and damaging consequence of the baseless accusations of anti-Semitism directed at pro-Palestinian voices: they make all charges of anti-Semitism, including very real ones, less convincing.

Indeed, accusing everyone criticising Israel’s settler-colonial enterprise of being anti-Semitic is extremely dangerous because it will eventually begin, if it hasn’t already, to cast doubt on the very existence of the very real, damaging and pervasive societal ill that is anti-Semitism"

Whan you find ways to accuse people who are generally supportive of Jewish issues to be antisemitic, you risk alienating yourself from friends. Most normal people are disgusted by antisemitism, but when the term means that you cannot criticise the Israeli government, that is not right.

Israel’s settler-colonial enterprise

Jeez, are you the Leeds uni student I heard on radio 4 the other day?!?!?

So you're saying that when Starmer chucked out all the antisemites, he was actually being antisemitic? Good job you're here to tell all the Jewish people who might vote Labour.

This is surely a wind-up.

BTW what does any of it have to do with the thread title? apart from stopping people talking about antisemitic attacks

Yeah come on guys keep up. His wife is Jewish therefore she wants to be richer and get him to pull strings on Israel.

Honestly I'm torn between reporting this poster and letting everyone see the posts in all their offensive glory.

Oh dear.

That was a quote from the link.

And I brought up starmer in response to someone claiming the Labour party was trying to stamp out antisemitism.

Omg not because she's Jewish... surely we all want to be richer? 😂 you're being ridiculous

Omg yes how could I think that was what you meant?!?!

Someone is being ridiculous and I don't think it's me.

My comment was about her as a woman and a person... not as a Jewish person! So stop putting words where there aren't any. It's infuriating

@HelenHen Oh I'm perfectly fine with him getting shot of the antisemites and cranks, Jewish or not. Incidentally, have you ever experienced antisemitism?

Anyway, I stopped taking you seriously when you compared Starmer to an actual dictator and now your parroting verbatim soundbites from Twitter and the Labour Files.

😮

Right OK. And the bit about Israel?

Patronise all you want. It's clear that you're not open to a discussion and you just want to paint everyone as an antisemite. Good luck getting your point across.

Because the starmers have spoken of their concern for their family in Israel... as most people with family abroad would. I would say that if they were concerned about their family in any country. Of course its win win to have a husband supportive of your family, regardless of where they live

The backtracking is unreal. Everyone can read what you posted! Your posts are a disgrace and so, so offensive.

@HelenHen Au contraire. I'm actually very, very careful about who I "paint" as an antisemite.

You have read words which were not there and you are being incredibly offensive. If you are trying to get any kind of point across, it is not happening. Yes my words are there. Read them again.

Disingenuous.
