With around 18 people suspended and reprimanded for antisemitism and led by a man who calls the deeply anti-semitic group Hamas his 'friends', is the Labour party now the most racist party Britain has ever had?

You really need to stop accessing those ridiculous left wing sites, gromit. They have the merest nodding acquaintance
with the truth and repeating what they say could get AB into legal problems.

From The Daily Mirror.

///“In print and online articles in April and May 2013 we said that Alex Wood, who was standing for UKIP in the May 2013 local elections in Somerset, had been photographed making a ‘Nazi salute’. We also said that he had made racist comments on Facebook.

We now accept that these allegations were wrong and there is no reason to believe that Mr Wood is a racist or a Nazi. The photograph, one of a series of photographs appearing on his Facebook page, was taken out of context. Mr Wood was reaching out to stop a friend taking a photo on a mobile phone. The comments on Facebook purportedly made by Mr Wood were not made by him and the police have confirmed that they were not made by Mr Wood.

We apologise to Mr Wood for the allegations made and any hurt and distress caused as a result. We hope this apology will go some way to repairing Mr Wood’s reputation.”///

gromit; Things you can say and get re-instated in the labour party, Jews financed the slave trade, and Blacks are undergoing a holocaust while the Jews aren't. Jackie Walker

"Meanwhile, the Labour group on Birmingham City Council has appointed Waseem Zafffar to oversee equality and diversity in the city. Waseem is a Muslim and has described Israel as a 'terrorist state' and demanded a local labour MP, John Spellar, stand down because he is a 'Zionist', i.e. he thinks Israel has a right to exist "

Labour MP Naz Shah 'to be cleared soon' said that a perfectly good solution to Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be to 'relocate' Israel to the middle of the United States, 'problem solved'.
If Naz Shah is to be reinstated soon, then common sense has prevailed.

The Graphic which led to Naz Shah being suspended was authored by a Jewish scholar whose family died in the holocaust.

// The image depicted a map of the United States with Israel superimposed, and suggested resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict by relocating Israel into the United States. It has been reported that Shah got the image from Finkelstein’s website. //

Here it is

// Norman Finkelstein, The American Jewish scholar is one of the world’s leading experts on the Israel-Palestine conflict and the political legacy of the Nazi holocaust. Apart from his parents, every member of Finkelstein’s family, on both sides, was exterminated in the Nazi holocaust.

I did post the map on my website in 2014. An email correspondent must have sent it. It was, and still is, funny.

Frankly, I find that obscene. It’s doubtful these Holocaust-mongers have a clue what the deportations were, or of the horrors that attended them. I remember my late mother describing her deportation. She was in the Warsaw Ghetto. The survivors of the Ghetto Uprising, about 30,000 Jews, were deported to Maijdanek concentration camp. They were herded into railroad cars. My mother was sitting in the railroad car next to a woman who had her child. And the woman – I know it will shock you – the woman suffocated her infant child to death in front of my mother. She suffocated her child, rather than take her to where they were going. That’s what it meant to be deported. To compare that to someone posting a light-hearted, innocuous cartoon making a little joke about how Israel is in thrall to the U.S., or vice versa…it’s sick. What are they doing? Don’t they have any respect for the dead? All these desiccated Labour apparatchiks, dragging the Nazi holocaust through the mud for the sake of their petty jostling for power and position. Have they no shame? //

He goes on...

// Livingstone maybe wasn’t precise enough, and lacked nuance. But he does know something about that dark chapter in history. Livingstone is more or less accurate about this – or, as accurate as might be expected from a politician speaking off the cuff. //

What a silly defence; what does it matter from where she got it or who drew it and for what purpose? the point is she is a British Labour MP and she used it.
Question Author
and further; Her comment was a tweet, I don't use tweets, but as far as I know you cannot use it to send maps.
Click on the link after 'Here it is' to see her tweet.

She did use it, and it is NOT anti-semitic.
Yes. They are, they are also, along with their supporters the biggest hypocites out.

You seem to be missing the point which is the transportation of Jews does that not have any resonance for you?
If you have any imagination at all, try to think how you would feel if you were a Jew on hearing that.
Perhaps along with Corbyn, you are a 'friend' of Hamas too.

Why is "most racist party in the UK?" bringing up links to Labour so quickly? First Jewish is a religion as well as a race, so you can be anti-Semitic and not necessarily racist. Secondly there is the BNP, the National Front and UKIP, as well as that there used to be the Imperial Fascist League and its successor the British Union of Fascists. And there was even a version of the Ku Klux Klan in Britain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_fascist_parties
Ukip are not racist though. That is put about by lefty luvvies tgat have no argument to tge immigration issue.

Tge bnp etc are all largly irrelevant.
Today's anti fascists are the fascists of tomorrow wasn't it said by Churchill! Sums up the labour party and the far left up

marshwable; //First Jewish is a religion as well as a race, so you can be anti-Semitic and not necessarily racist.//
This the kind of twaddle put out by all forms of fascist organisations, most notably Islam.
Antisemitism is racism because it is hating a person based on characteristics that they cannot avoid. A person cannot help that they are born Jewish it is no different than being born white or black. Antisemitism is racism, nothing less because it is to hate someone based on a racial characteristic which is beyond their control.
Question Author
^ Yes, the labour party is in denial.
There is a BIG difference between anti-semitism and anti-zionism and few, it seems, know the difference.
Question Author
n. "Anti-Zionism" is a coward's way of being an anti-Semite and hoping no one notices.
Not true, Khandro.... but I'm too tired to explain it to you tonight. Sleep tight. x
