Difficult to claim it's nothing to do with #antisemitism when the CLP chair is knee-deep in antisemitic conspiracism. Chair of CLP, accused of bullying Luciana Berger, appeared on show broadcast by David Icke https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/chair-of-clp-accused-of-bullying-luciana-berger-appeared-on-show-broadcast-by-david-icke-1.479784 … via @jewishchron
the thing is Steve. Alex is severly visually impaired. Furthermore, he is very frail and i think has other servere medical conditions. I think he was unaware the Richie Allen show was linked to David Icke due to him not having access to info we have as he has such conditions

Fuck me. The state of this. Any excuse, eh?
-
It's a joke. Hapoel is a Jewish socialist who regularly speaks out about antisemitism. He's just taking the piss.
-
Alex Scott-Samuel told me the first football match he ever went to was a Leyton Orient football match Shocking and a total disgrace!!!
-
he also went to same school as my brother. Although when i try to get in i failed the exam He shuold be expelled just for that. GET HIM OUT!

I fear you may have breached the IRONY working definition.

He was *a regular* on the show *for years*. While he was expounding his view that "the Rothschild family…is behind neoliberalism in the US and UK", his interviewer was displaying images from openly antisemitic websites:pic.twitter.com/X3FKkJlzUZ

Maybe that was before he had poorly eyes, eh
@hapoel2018 ? -
Not good at all. This conspiratorial crap really is becoming a serious problem.
-
i blame the eyes. i totally excuse everything he has ever said or done due to the eyes. HE IS INNOCENT!!!
-
INNOCENT I TELL YOU!!! THIS IS A WITCHHUNT

This is perhaps the most pathetic attempt at excusing the behaviour I've seen.
-
Believe me, Hapoel2018 isn't generally one to excuse antisemitism. I think he just accepted a plausible explanation in this instance - because those of us concerned about a/s don't always assume the worst - but clearly further evidence is now coming to light in this case.
-
Well said John!!!
-
Fair enough. Given the evidence will you retract this? As its clear he did know.

The thing is, that you don't appear on anything without checking what it is first. If you need help to check it then you ask. Are his Tweets/Retweets down to his poor vision too?
-
I do find myself conflicted on this. I support the principle of automatic open reselection, which we don't have yet. It would be far better than a VoNC. But I've also seen how many of the attacks on Berger are indeed antisemitic with misogyny also in the mix.
-
I would argue that the bullying charge seems to be more provable in this case. Too many people in the Labour Party go way OTT when criticising those Labour Party members who support Israel and bullying and abuse IS the result.
