You acknowledge the Press TV disgrace, but there are others. The mural, the "friends", the people who don't understand irony. For me, his hosting/chairing the Auschwitz-Gaza event on Holocaust memorial day ended the argument.

Oh no it doesn't. And I explain why. I've set out my family's story before - but doesn't it strike you as disgusting that even now, the UK still doesn't recognise the Armenian Genocide? Uruguay does, Uruguay was the first country to do so by fully 10 years.

The friends thing is literally standard formal language at a debate. And I cover the 'irony' thing. He was referring to literally two or three thugs, one of whom yelled 'All Hail' (in German) at a Holocaust survivor. You're on the side of people like that?

A. "honourable friend" is standard in the British Parliament, but not in normal debate. B. If you're at a meeting to support a cause it's not a "debate"

Oh yes it is. I debated at school. I'd always start with "Mr Chairman, honourable and most learned opposition, members of the floor". Then during points of information, I'd say "I think the most learned opposition member for his point - but..."

He was at the meeting for a polite discussion. The problem here is you're imputing motives that aren't there. As a result of that, you're assuming so many things that just aren't true. Corbyn wants peace. An end to the occupation. What is so wrong about that?

As you know Dan, it's all about language. I'd never accuse you of being an antisemite for a single moment. But Soros has become exactly the bogeyman figure you suggest in that piece that, in the UK, he's not. It's astonishing how many repeat the same line about him.

I also think the line you used about the 'British establishment trying to undermine Brexit' is HILARIOUS. You yourself undermined Brexit by lying about no-one suggesting we'd be leaving the single market. Leave undermined it by lying in the literature about Article 50.

They win the game because egg it on or rebut it, their agenda plays out, plays on and pays off. So it must be true, as everyone keeps on about it. There has to be a better strategy to see this off.

Yes, absolutely. That 'trap' I mentioned in the article? It's fiendishly difficult for Labour to escape from it.

that gnasher multiple personality disorder tweeter has broken multiple laws regarding malicious communications act. the others may have also crossed that line. not sure if labour are in the habit of getting people arrested though. so itll continue.

I think they have to look at that now. It's astonishing how this has been allowed to go on for so long.

they could have reported these people ages ago, but the police could have also stepped in ages ago without someone making a complaint. simply because its in the public view. so this problem of blindness extends to the police and beyond.

It always seems to now. Lack of funding plus government pressure I think.

lack of morals and balls imo

Shaun, this is very good work. My own view as an "outsider" concerned with reconciliation and peace is that there is an existential battle going on within the Jewish diaspora worldwide, which is not so much "left" vs "right" but "Likudist ultra-Zionist" vs "2-state peacebuilders"

This is EXACTLY right. Bang on the money. It's hugely disconcerting.

That is exactly wrong...but hey, carry on telling Jews what they should think or do. Pathetic article...
