87% of British Jews think Corbyn is anti-Semitic: https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/antisemitism-is-the-key-election-issue-for-28-per-cent-of-jews-1.481849 … One of the Jewish Labour MPs quit b/c she said it had become institutionally anti-Semitic: https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/luciana-berger-and-six-labour-mps-quit-institutionally-antisemitic-party/ … Are they all lying? This has nothing to do with Ilhan. Don't use her to cover for bigotry.
These are former members of the Labour Party who left because they more closely represent the centrism of Howard Schultz. Progressives are uniting around Jeremy Corbyn against Theresa May’s racism and austerity while Nancy Pelosi is stowing divisions and subtweeting @IlhanMN.https://twitter.com/speakerpelosi/status/1117395599685558273 …

In 2015, 69% of British Jews said they'd vote for David Cameron (Conservative) over Ed Milliband (Labour), who is also Jewish. 64% of British Jews said Cameron had the best attitude towards British Jews. There are also other factors going on here.https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/04/how-ed-miliband-lost-the-jewish-vote/ …

So you are saying British Jews (a) can't distinguish between a politician they disagree with & an anti-Semite, or (b) really just support the Tories and are lying about anti-Semitism in Labour under Corbyn to smear him politically? Thanks for letting us all know where you stand.

No that's not what I'm saying.

I hope not. I also hope you can see why that is a very straightforward reading of what you wrote. I am not trying to misrepresent your words, but I know that Twitter is short and can be hard to parse. This is a real problem and your tweets seem to be suggesting it is not.

Twitter actively resists constructive engagement on difficult subjects like this, but perhaps this piece by
@rachshabi may be helpful: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rachelshabi/democrats-avoid-uk-antisemitism-crisis … We do not have to fall into the same traps here as happened there. -
Yasir is a centrist neo liberal that supports Israel’s apartheid government and racists like Bibi Netanyahu. People like Yair are so disingenuous in their arguments.

The fact that you can't even get my name right (though Yasir is a lovely name!) says everything people need to know about your claims about my views, which clearly you have never read. Go troll somewhere else.

Why are you inciting violence against a woman trying to fight bigotry while backing anti Semitic trash? Why do you want Nancy Pelosi killed?
-
Love how he injected subtweeting Ilhan. Is he saying Ilhan is another antisemite who supports Corbyn?
-
Yes, which is why he’s rushing to her defense... Waleed loves his antisemities and wants the world to know
-
Gotta love how open he is about it too. From dog whistles to down right double down on defending antisemites.
-
Yeah but like he’s really really brown and a Muslim... it supposedly gives him a pass for being a racist bigot piece of shit... no wonder why he loves Bernie and co

I'm a British Jew. I can tell you that Jeremy Corbyn poses the biggest threat that Jews in the UK have faced in living memory. We are terrified of him and his mob. He is not progressive, he is regressive. He is a misogynistic antisemite. Please listen and learn.

He doesn't want to. He wants to assume everything fits a US narrative. Meanwhile, back in Europe WHERE ANTISEMITISM WAS INVENTED AND THE INQUISITION, POGROMS, SHOAH, AND STALINISM TOOK PLACE...
