JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: YET ANOTHER ROUND OF ATTACKING JEREMY CORBYN FOR SUPPOSED ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE LABOUR PARTY - IT'S BECOME A SICKENINGLY REGULAR PRACTICE AT THE GUARDIAN AND THE INDEPENDENT




COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT


"Jeremy Corbyn is 'figurehead' for antisemitism"

What a sickening, lowlife thing to say about a thoroughly decent man. Even though the actual metaphor used is rather confused in its meaning, the vile intention is clear. I suppose the confused words arrive from excessive bile.

If Corbyn weren't a politician, he would be able to sue the person saying that successfully for libel, but politicians, of course, can't do that. They must take the insults and filth without flinching.

The reason for this new round of filth is simple. It is just more of what we have experienced ever since Corbyn came to power.

Wave after wave of Senator Joe McCarthy-style accusations against an honest and decent man.

Corbyn has a fairly balanced view on Israel and Palestine.

He is fair-minded on that as we have seen he is fair-minded on so many things.

But, you see, you are not permitted to be fair-minded on that topic. You must be a Tony Blair, as it were. Tony Blair was more than just okay, winning as he did all kinds of accolades and sinecures and the million-dollar Israel "Peace" Prize.

So, the Israel Lobby in Britain - and we well know well from recent revelations and recordings that there is just such a thing which arrogantly works to seat or unseat members of Parliament -  has worked itself into a sweat for the last year or so, trying to make Corbyn uncomfortable and very aware of its power.

He's not going to be allowed to be elected in a general election without having been subjected to immense pressure and difficulty, something for him to keep in mind when he tries leading a country on behalf of all its people’s interests, rather than those of a special interest lobby. 

We saw this when he had to win his leadership all over again against a Lobby darling like Owen Smith.

Well, you see, Corbyn has just sacked Owen Smith from his frontbench position for trying to tell the leader how he should be doing things, so a price is to be paid.

Response to a comment:

That's exactly what has been going on since Corbyn was first elected leader.

If you remember, even the leader of Israel's Labour Party chimed in with a stupid public letter on the subject of anti-Semitism being tolerated in the party of another country.

As though he knew anything about the matter.

Of course, he didn't know what he was talking about, but he was cued by the Lobby in Britain to offer his views.

It was a demonstration of immense arrogance and just plain dishonesty, especially coming from a leader in a country running a concentration camp like Gaza there for all to see.

Talk about injustice and abuse of human rights.

Thanks, Tel Aviv.

You guys really do focus on stories in The Independent, don't you?

There's nothing needing attention in your own country, I guess?

Not an openly corrupt Prime minister? Not threats against a peaceful, agreement-abiding Iran? Not threats against Lebanon? Not threats against Syria? Not the turning away of black refugees because Mr. and Mrs. Netanyahu do not want them living in the neighborhood? Not friendship with the murderous new ruler of Saudi Arabia? Not friendship with the dictator in Egypt? Not the horrors of the concentration camp you run in Gaza?
