No. It. Fucking. Doesn't. Do you deny that the British Empire was a colonial power? Or that a bunch of people moving into a country, driving the inhabitants out by force and then claiming the land as their own is a wee bit, y'know, colonial. (Incidentally, I can only imagine the well-justified howls if any lefties suggested that the Middle East was the "proper place" for European Jews!)

I wonder how narrow Rachel Riley's window of opportunity for this thread was, between the first time she said she was Jewish and the time she started acting the cunt.

What kind of shitty kick-off time is that?

Looks like a temporary tat that she got free in a comic.

Oh, please, explain. How does a reference to "Western colonial rule" refer to anyone other than the Westerners who were the colonial rulers of the fucking place?

You've called a few of us anti-Semitic and hinted that we'd drive the Jews out of the country if someone who wants to nationalise railways and reopen libraries becomes PM. You've been a proper cunt.

"Western colonial rule" refers to the colonial rule by the Western powers - specifically, the British Mandate in Palestine. So... still no mention of "the Jews". You've got to try harder. Maybe spend more than 5 minutes on your next search, you cunt.

This is why context is important. Imagine someone seeing that post - with all the Rep it's got - in isolation!

Same old re-hashed misrepresentation, unsubstantiated allegations and "guilt by association", much of which has already been discredited by facts (on this thread, if I recall). I just looked up one of these, selected at random and - guess what - it's also bollocks (unless you count his support for the Birmingham Six as proof of his loyalties to the IRA). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_London_Israeli_Embassy_bombing#Convicted Alami and Botmeh were convicted of conspiracy to cause explosions in the United Kingdom.[13] During the trial Alami and Botmeh were accused of being part of a team that had planned the bombing but were not accused of planting the bomb themselves or being present at the scene of the crime.[14] There was no direct evidence linking the suspects to the bombing. Another woman involved in carrying out the bombing has never been found. In the course of the trial, both suspects did admit that they had conducted experiments using home made explosives in order to pass information back to Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories. Botmeh and Alami were convicted of the charges in December 1996, receiving 20-year sentences.[15] Both Alami and Botmeh have maintained their innocence; Amnesty International stated that Mr Botmeh had been "denied [his] right to a fair trial",[16] Numerous groups and individuals campaigned on behalf of the pair, including the government of Palestine, Amnesty International, Unison (Britain's largest trade union),[17] human right activist Gareth Peirce, investigative journalist Paul Foot, and Miscarriages of JusticeUK (MOJUK),[18] Support for Alami and Botmeh's appeal attracted cross-party support in Parliament – five early day motions raised by John Austin MP were supported by a total of 71 Members of Parliament, including Labour Party MPs Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell, Conservative Party MPs Peter Bottomley and Robert Jackson, and Liberal Democrats Tom Brake and Colin Breed. Beyond the early day motions, further support for a review of the conviction by parliamentarians included Ian Gilmour, Baron Gilmour of Craigmillar and Harry Cohen.[19][20]

The main reason "there's no agreement" is that the opponents of democratic Socialism (who pretend to be opponents of anti-Semitism) blocked the NEC's proposed Code of Conduct, which fully adopted and built on the IHRA Working Definition. https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/app/uploads/2018/07/ASdoc3.pdf (In any case, it's bollocks to say "there's no agreement": 99% of anti-Semitic incidents can be clearly and unequivocally recognised as such. People occasionally split hairs about the remaining minutiae.)

It's not my call. If Labour lose, then I would probably expect that he'd want to step to down, to give a new elected leader a good run-up for the next General Election.

Beyond parody. It's not a "canard" - it's the foundation of every system of justice worthy of the name. (I thought you were a supporter of Liberty - before Chakrabati broke your heart - so you should know this stuff. )

What fucking logic? People call Trump racist because he says and does racist stuff all the time. No amount of "some of my friends are black" is going to alter that. Some people call Corbyn anti-Semitic, but they've utterly failed to produce any evidence to back that up. Instead, the media round up as many Jewish opponents of Corbyn as possible and pretend that the noisy celebs represent all UK Jews - denying the existence or the Jewishness of Jewish Corbyn supporters.

Risible fuckwittery.
