People seem to be harassing Miriam Mirwitch for, basically, not being an anti-Zionist. That’s stance that would exclude most British Jews from Labour and seems straightforwardly antisemitic to me. Difference between disagreeing with someone and smearing them

I don’t think it’s reasonable to suggest that being part of JLM = being a lobbyist, I think there are v obviously legitimate reasons Jewish Labour members might join JLM that have nothing to do with state lobbying

Lobbying for the existence of a state of Israel does not make something a body that lobbies for the government, or lobbies on behalf of the state as currently constituted. A zionist can argue against state-policy e.g. occupation of West Bank or siege of Gaza.

To clarify- I could have replaced ‘a’ with ‘the’ in the first senctence. Lobbying for the existence of the state of Israel does not make something a state-lobby or embassy proxy.

Again, mis-characterization of what I've written. JLM is an Israeli embassy proxy. That is how it has acted ever since it was "re-founded" to "battle" Corbyn in September 2015: https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/jewish-labour-movement-was-refounded-fight-corbyn … "We work with Shai [Masot], we know him very well"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/jewish-labour-movement-worked-israeli-embassy-spy …
