And this attitude is why hundreds of thousands of liberal and left-wing Jews no longer support the Labour party.
- coldtea 5y agoWhich attitude? Basic sense?
- Veen 5y agoAre you implying that all those Jews worried about anti-semitism in the Labour Party lack basic sense? I'm not sure they're likely to find that a comforting response.
- Chris2048 5y agoNo, they where clarifying what you meant, It's your opinion that "this" is the cause.
- coldtea 5y agoAre you weasel-wording strawmen? Maybe, don't do that? First, who are "all those Jews"? This is handwaving to make it sound like multitudes. Second, people worrying about anti-semitism in the Labour party in general, either lack common sense (if we accept your argument that is "this attitude" I wrote about above that is their concern), or conflate anti-semitism (as in Hitler, Nazis, pogroms, and co) with criticism of actions by the state of Israel. In fact, actual jews in favor of Corbyn and the party have been accused of "anti-semitism" (!) - like the Jewish Voice for Labour (jewish members of the UK Labour Party, because they are nonetheless critical about the situation with Palestine).
