NORMAN FINKELSTEIN on The 'Anti-Semite Corbyn' Claims

[@davidbradley3377]

[@PilliamWilliam]

@@harounouaguena6957 labour party ordered an extensive investigation into the anti-semitism within the party, basically the process of dealing with anti-semitism was deliberately slowed by certain members for the first few years of corbyn's leadership because they didn't agree with corbyn. Also people working within the party tried to sabotage 2 general elections, diverted funds from winnable, marginal, seats to safe seats (the recipients being ideologically aligned with the people diverting the funds) in a general election; conspired to look like they were doing work when they were just doing nothing all day (again to sabotage); said in internal conversations that certain labour MP's should be shot, set on fire; a long-standing labour no, Dianne Abbott (the first black female member of Parliament) was crying in a restaurant toilet after receiving a barrage of racist online abuse, so somebody passed on her location to channel 4 news so they could get a good, degrading, image of it. All of this came from people working for the Labour party, on the Blairite wing of the party, who were opposed to corbyn. It's disgusting. Also this had to be LEAKED, because when the new leader of the Labour party saw it he tried to make it disappear as he, himself, is a Blairite (or at least seems to be doing whatever they tell him to do, he has personally kept his ideology close to his chest and recently the Labour party got destroyed in local elections). This behavior, ironically, has come from the wing of the party who, when starmer was elected party leader, espoused that 'the adults are back in charge' For further reading, Google "April 2020 Labour Leaks". I doubt you'd ever meet anyone who has read all of it (I certainly haven't) as it's an 800 page report.

[@wafiseifsungkar2112]

I do love him but I certainly wouldn't want him to rule the world, or even a country. He was a maoist when he was young and he admits it. Although he said he isn't anymore, I still see some radical views he still believes in. For example he said that he's concerned with the environmental challenges like climate change which we have right now and while I certainly agree with that, he also said that he doesn't believe in the state. He believes that in order to combat the challenges as I mentioned, there should some sort of borderless effort to carry it out and individual sovereign states working on their own, he said, wouldn't be able to achieve the goal. For me, it's too radical and too anarchist to think that way and I don't believe in what he said. But of course you can disagree on some issues but still hear one's opinions on other issues. Sorry for my bad english, btw.

[@ErikKampe]

'I think that if a man like him were given the rights of a dictator in the modern world, he would be able to solve his problems in such a way that these decisions brought so much desired peace and happiness...'

He's gone back to the 70s, written entire books about the weaponization of antisemitism and the holocaust by supporters of Israeli war crimes, in order to shut down discussion and enforcement on those war crimes. The "new antismetism" isn't new at all.

[@fredatlas4396]

@Calum Tatum I think I'm right in saying there are Jew's in very high places in the US government, perhaps that's the reason why Israel is allowed to have nuclear weapons and the US supplies them with the military hardware & support. But I did see a program some yrs ago showing Israeli forces bulldozing Palistinian homes, and their were some American Jews protesting against the Israeli security forces. They stood in the way of the bulldozers. The Israeli soldiers were also shooting indescriminatly into Palistinian towns, bullets flying around and possibly killing anyone unfortunate enough to b in the way just walking down the street

Not at all. Corbyn is on his way to the trash-bin of history. Not because of fake or true anti-semitism (I personally think there is a lot of truth there), but because the vast majority of British people said they don't want him as PM. He lost by a landslide.

[@TrueEnglishMan01]

@@ronir555 Remember, winning in a FPTP electoral system ≠ winning the popular vote. More people voted for Corbyn in 2017 than they did for Gordon Brown, Ed Miliband, David Cameron, Blair in 2005 and a number of other previous Labour & Conservative leaders. Yet no one ever says to consign them to the dustbin of History do they? I wonder why? Because none of them threatened the elite-benefitting status quo perhaps? Is that why Corbyn receives such comparative vitriol? Funny how you see truth in the antisemitism accusations against Corbyn when no one else besides his political enemies do (such as the politically appointed EHRC, whose members are selected by the govt). He was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Labour Party’s national executive committee, and Starmer’s decision to disallow him from standing as a Labour candidate for Islington North against local party members’ wishes contains no mention of antisemitism, because Starmer knows it would not stand up in court if legally challenged. In fact, no legal measures have been taken against Corbyn or indeed any of his allies accused of antisemitism because the accusations against them are obviously spurious, vague and lacking in evidence. If they weren’t then litigation would have surely followed as this would have been even more damaging to Corbyn and the British left, which was precisely the point of the weaponisation of antisemitism carried out by the Labour right and the major media outlets in the first place. Couple this massive smear campaign with Starmer et al’s naïve second EU referendum policy (which alienated Brexiter Labour voters & gifted them to the Tories) and that gives you the 2019 GE result. It’s a pity Corbyn caved in to their demands, but at the time it probably seemed like Labour would be damned either way whichever tack they took. All in all he had a nigh insurmountable task given the circumstances he was thrust into. Unfortunately for you though the current economic climate and renewed popular protest & union strike activity are all vindicating him. Corbyn moved the argument for socialism forward.
