This thread from Sisyphusa is good.

The Jewish Chronicle is edited by an ex-Express hack.

[Nefertiti2]

Yes good things there, delicate.

the trouble is that many different opinions amongst Jews are locked out of the debate. The repulsive Pollard editor of the Jewish Chronicle calls secular Jews who oppose the official position on israel as "asajews"

[Nefertiti2]

this antisemitism from a Tory MEP is not the subject of media attention

Neither was this from a Tory MP. One who is frequently on the telly.

The editorial that is shared by all 3 publications is here https://www.thejc.com/comment/leader...itism-1.467641

Now to me this strongly implies that criticism of Israel is what they are terming "political antisemitism" (whatever that means - seems to be something other than "racial antisemitism"). have asked Jack Sommers about this on twitter but he has declined to answer. If anyone else can get a response to this I'd be interested. He claims it is not equating one with the other, but I don;t see what else it can be

[Tubby Isaacs]

you havent been paying attention

Corbyn is not the prime minister

not enough conservatives are prepared to vote against the government.

some Labour figures are determined to support the government on Brexit,

Senior Labour figures? Those 5 goons from the other day?

Or is this that "National Government" bollocks that Abbott and Bastani started banging on about?

Corbyn can get up tmrw and say "Single Market it is, I'm not chucking UK services under the bus, and Caroline Flint can explain to her constituents why she wants to do that".

Edit- apologies, I misred "some" as "senior" and thought you were talking about something else.

But you don't need to be PM to have a good policy on something.

What the Jewish Chronicle is doing is exactly what they accuse antisemites of doing- conflating Israel and Judaism

Boyd Hilton has been very good on this

I'm not sure suggesting a wealthy Jewish businessman is orchestrating opposition to you a good look for Mr Bannerman.

If this is true, and I don't have reason to doubt it, Labour has adopted the IHWA definition just not all the examples that are offered up in the text of the IHWA document

[Snake Plissken]

That is my understanding as well.

[johnr]

It is indeed true.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Given that that is the case, how have the made such an insanely bad of job of explaining their position? I get that there are a bunch of arseholes out to get them regardless of what they do, but that doesn't explain why they are so fucking pathetic at dealing with this. Why am I reading this explanation in a twitter thread over a week after the whole mess kicked off again.

[Snake Plissken]

You underestimate how organised it all is.
