COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
“Jeremy Corbyn faces
fresh criticism after attending left-wing Jewish meeting
“Jewdas recently
described the antisemitism row as a 'malicious ploy to remove the leader of the
opposition and put a stop to the possibility of a socialist government'”
Only a truly bizarre person would criticize Corbyn for
spending four hours at a Passover Seder.
It is appalling that this is criticized.
You could think of these new charges from the “get Corbyn”
crowd as a twisted form of genuine anti-Semitism - hating people who are Jewish
because of their political orientation and hating people who associate with
them.
This all reinforces the truth of something we already
understood: the people after Corbyn are not honest about charges of
anti-Semitism. Not at all.
They simply use whatever low tactic they think will work.
And what they want is Corbyn to be gone as leader or at
least hobbled. They completely ignore his winning the leadership twice, and
convincingly, despite their attacks.
They have no respect for democracy and no respect for public
civility. They use abuse and libel to get what they want.
They want what Tony Blair wants. They want what a
demonstrated liar and mass killer wants because he really is their boy, the darling
boy who helped destroy Iraq and received an Israeli Peace Prize for doing so.
