Labour Activist Suspended For Anti-Semitism

Are you really confused about this? Or just asking stupid questions?

He has a point;people criticize Israel and then let other Mideastern who do much worse things off the hook.

I don't mind legitimate criticism of Israel, it;'s the mindless hatred of the mere idea of Israel existing I have problems with.

Britain’s equality watchdog has said it believes Labour may have “unlawfully discriminated against people”, as it announced the first step of a statutory inquiry into the party’s handling of antisemitism complaints.

By way of context the last time EHRC investigated a political party was the BNP for its "whites only" policy.

By way of context the last time EHRC investigated a political party was the BNP for its "whites only" policy.

Indeed, but I also see that Labor party members have bought into the 'It Offends! Make it Go Away!" attitude promoted in universities.

One member of Labour’s ruling NEC, Huda Elmi, who was elected by party members, called for the EHRC to be replaced, describing it as “a failed experiment”. She added: “We need to abolish it and bring back separate, well-resourced governmental bodies for each equality strand!”

The lib dems are hardly safe from the virus of anti-Semitism. Consider just one of their more prominent MPs in the early 2000s, Jenny Tonge:

[on the Gaza strip] "a situation like the Warsaw ghetto."

[of Palestinian suicide bombers] "If I had to live in that situation – and I say that advisedly – I might just consider becoming one myself".

"The pro-Israeli lobby has got its grips on the western world, its financial grips. I think they've probably got a grip on our party"

Following Jeremy Corbyn's election as Leader of the Labour Party, Tonge said that she was considering joining Labour, having not seen the party as left-wing enough until then. Tonge expressed support for Corbyn and the former Labour MP Tony Benn: "I marched alongside Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn, one on either side. I went to Gaza with Jeremy Corbyn and we met Hamas leaders together".
