Yeah mate, it's incredible how the NEC not ditching a code of conducts that have been resoundingly dismissed by Jewish communities is all part of a media conspiracy to coincide with the Tories own problems.
Utterly pathetic.
The story is that Margaret Hodge called Corbyn an anti-semite. She’s was born a refugee in 1944 to a German-Jewish parents who were fleeing the Nazis and her grandmother and uncle were murdered by the Nazis. She’s been a Labour MP since 1994.
She sounds like a Tory plant to me.
Blatant conspiracy if I ever saw one.
Undeniably the Labour party has a massive ongoing issue in this area, but is it accurate to call Corbyn an anti-semite? Has he personally shown hostility toward or prejudice against Jews (either individually or as a wider community)?
You can argue he is for failing to definitively strike out against those elements of the party and remove them, which is a legitimate complaint against the man - but I'm not personally aware of any direct antisemitic behaviour from Corbyn?
