“But he needs to move quickly and decisively now”
Move on what?
Nothing inappropriate was said or done, but someone has to “move” on it?
There is no anti-Semitism in the words. None. People were called ”Trump fanatics.” The people happen to be Jewish, something they themselves continually draw attention to in their unwarranted attacks on Corbyn.
This fixation over anti-Semitism, always without any effort to provide proof of anything, borders on the days of Stalin.
If Stalin was looking for “wreckers of the Revolution,” as he did every once in a while, the phrase being his code words for a new purge, and you happened to be one in the eyes of your local NKVD detachment - perhaps for as little cause as the their needing to achieve their quota of wreckers this week - you were in deadly trouble.
That truly is the level of so much of this name-calling reverse-prejudice filth against a decent man, Jeremy Corbyn.
I have never seen such ugliness, and I do understand the reason for it.
Corbyn is hated in Israel because he is fair-minded on Israel and Palestine, and that these days is simply not allowed. Actually, true liberals and the Left are hated widely in Israel because they stand for traditional Western values of human and democratic rights.
