COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JOHN RENTOUL IN THE INDEPENDENT
“Jeremy Corbyn ran a brilliant election campaign last year – but he won’t be able to do it again
"The Labour leader seems to have lost the relaxed, friendly style that worked so well"
Well, we've had every kind of cheap and dishonest attack on Corbyn, I didn't think a new angle was possible.
But here it is, and what an amazing creation it is.
A loss of being relaxed!
If true, I wonder why that might be?
Do you think month after month of being attacked for nothing might have something to do with it?
Being called names, having your integrity questioned?
And this IS a man of integrity, a rare thing in national politics.
All this because the terrible men running Israel now hate Corbyn, and they hate him precisely because of his integrity.
Those brutal men have absolutely no integrity, and anyone honest makes them very uncomfortable.

As I've written in response to another article, the wonderful Jimmy Carter, someone whose integrity we all understand, was widely called an "anti-Semite" in Israel and in Israel-echoing circles of the United States. It was almost like calling Jesus an "anti-Semite."
No current politician reminds me more of Carter than Corbyn.
The truth is most people, if given the chance to see and study someone, can recognize character.
Corbyn's got it. And you'd be hard-pressed finding someone with less of it than Netanyahu, the man this noisy, small minority attacking Corbyn support.
