Jeremy Corbyn - Not Not Labour Party(?), not a Communist (BBC)

In my 35 years I've never come across a single antisemite. I find it utterly bizarre that the Labour party is apparently full of them..

Who are these people?! This country is a fecking joke.

Ha.

It's fecking mental. I can't grasp it from either end... The media in this country have made getting a handle on something like this next to impossible.

I'd love to know how many people on here have met an anitsemite in their lives. I must just be living in a bubble or something...

There is literally no anti-Semitism in the World, whatsoever, neither has there ever been in the history of time.

You know, I have never met a child molester. I guess it just doesn't go on.

Doubt it when 60% of their members are anti-semites.

Sorry should have put white text in, was a joke considering 60% of Tory Members are Islamaphobic and they're about to elect the next PM.

It is whataboutism and Labour has to be held to a higher standard than Conservatives on anti-semetism to be fair.

No worries. I get it now.
 
Sooo, that letter in the Guardian yesterday, signed by over 100 prominent Jewish figures in support of Chris Williamson. It has now been taken down “pending investigation”. Seriously.

They may be investigating how someone like this ended up as a signatory:

Quite a few. Mostly the kind of people that also think the US is ruling the whole world and nothing happens without USA's approval.
I've heard comical things like that the owners of ALDI are jewish, VW is jewish, Mercedes is jewish, the media (in Germany) is jewish and so on .... total mind-shit really, but they actually believe it. And yes, most of them would be on the political left.

Mention the Rothschilds or Goldmans and that usually flushes them out.
 
Couldn't they just have pretended they weren't, I mean would it have been that difficult?

I know one person that said his whole family hated jews to extent they would actually spit at them on the street. He is an Indian muslim, but it seemed to be more to do with how much money jews supposedly have rather than Israel.

I’ve known plenty. In my circle of friends, in my extended family, in classes I’ve attended, places I’ve worked. Even on the Cafe. Although it seems that for many people their idea of antisemitism is limited to skin-heads with swastikas marching around vandalizing synagogues, none of the antisemites I’ve encountered over the years are, as far as I know, neo-Nazis or anything close.

I'd presume for most anti-semites they only talk about it openly around people they believe to be like-minded, or in the extreme cases if they're pushed to the point of disgust when a Jewish person enters their vicinity. Most people don't like volunteering themselves to be social outcasts.

I can't say I've ever met anyone who's said anything derogatory about Jewish people, but I'd be surprised if I'd never met anyone who holds anti semitic views. That said, I do find the supposed prevalence in anti-semitism in Labour pretty bizarre.
 
Context and evidence surrounding this bit in particular will be interesting
