"Guido Fawkes has dug up a 2013 letter from John McDonnell to Theresa May, asking her to warn British citizens they risk being stripped of their citizenship if they volunteer for the Israeli Defence Force. That’s a stonker for Labour’s critics, after Corbyn said yesterday the Begum woman should be helped to return home." JC knows the law too. | |||

If it relates to anyone volunteering to fight for another country, such as the French Foreign Legion, then it it simply an opinion. If it relates to anyone taking up an armed struggle for a foreign power or group, then it is simply an opinion. If this is solely aimed at those who volunteer for the IDF, who will probably be Jews, then it is anti-semitic as it is aimed solely at one racial group. | |||

Do I have to or do you never read what you write. Definition of bigot. : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance. Sound familiar ?? | |||

"What is anti Semitic? And how do you prove someone is an Anti Semite ?" Anti Semite is someone who os against places of Semetic lanhuage. Palestine is a place of a Semetic language . Who'd of thunk it. Does that make Israel & Israelis who dont want Palestine to exist anti Semetic ? | |||

"What is anti Semitic? And how do you prove someone is an Anti Semite ?" One theory is that those who actively support terrorist groups such as Hamas can be counted as anti semitic although others claim it is merely anti zionist. It depends upon your viewpoint if you see anti semitic and anti zionism as different entities or not | |||

"So if a large number in the labour party is 'anti semitic' then the rest must be 'pro semitic'... so by being pro semitic they must be anti islamic because of the way islamic people in that region are treated by the pro semitic forces etc.... what does that make Sadiq Khan? I'm really really confused here.... is Judaism a race or religion? Is Islam a race or a religion? Do people that support a footie team that isn't Tottenham Hotspurs qualify as being anti semitic? If the Isreali national team show up at Wembley and England supporters cheer on Englandshire...are they being anti semitic? Am i reading too much into the debate?" Even my head hurts at this one.

Actually Arabs are Semites too so technically, which ever side you support or oppose, you could be called anti-Semitic. However generally anti-Semitism is usually used only for anti Jewish intolerance. | |||

It may be criticism of the state of Isreal but criticising a government does not constitute criticising a religion or (if you insist) a race of people....even though Judaism is a religion and not a race....the same way christianity isn't a race or islam isn't a race etc.... if you were to say...'i hate capitalism' does it mean you hate western culture/religion/people etc... | |||

There are people of course who are anti Jews,Muslims,Blacks etc.I did meet a guy like this once who basically disliked anyone who was not white,Endlish and from Merseyside.I was horrified to be honest but these people do exist.The world is an odd place. I met him on a course and he was the only one to fail the exam lol. | |||

"Yeah but there are white british islamists and also black jewish people so i still contend that judaism and islam are religions and not races. Christianity is all over the world and practised by people of all colour and race and it's the most criticised and ridiculed religion of the main ones. A person can convert to any religion but can't convert to being a different race. also a democratically elected government of a modern country can't claim to be of a specific religion because of the diversity of people, groups, citizens or religions living in that particular country. So criticising a particular government does not constitute anti christian, anti jewish, anti muslim, anti budism sentiment etc... So a person saying 'i hate..capitalism/communism/zionism/socialism or whatever has no bearing on what that person thinks of the people living under these ideologies...surely!" Where does government lay claim to not being able to be criticised? | |||

"Why would i make mention of a girl who supposedly left England to join ISIS? The OP was concerned with the anti semitism row that has erupted within the Labour party. I was just delivering some facts about criticising certain States, religions, governments and groups of people worldwide. I have very little interest in that isis bride story...but i do have an interest in the implications of criticism of governments. Check back through my posts and point out any incorrect statements i have made and i shall be man enough to bow to superior wisdom or correct any mistakes i have made" So with 640 complaints of anti semitism upheld and on going police investigation into 48 cases (facts), what is your opinion on MP's like Luciana Berger questioning her government on antisemitism, her voice not being heard and ultimately threatened with de-selection. Or is it as you muse, that the definition is wrong. | |||

" my point exactly... criticising zionism does NOT mean criticising 'the jews' Criticising the isreali army does not mean criticising 'the jews' Criticising the treatment of non combatant palestinians by isreal does not mean criticising 'the jews' Criticising the isreali government does not mean criticising 'the jews'..... If one were to openly say nasty, horrible and disgusting slurrs towards jewish people then yes...in my opinion that would constitute anti semitism. The new anti semetic guidlines drawn up forbid pretty much all of the above and these guidlines can be changed/expanded at a moment's notice.... | |||

So when Ruth George MP tweets that the breakaway MPs are financed by Israel, with no evidence, and then withdraws the tweet because she was told that it may have implied some sort of international jewish conspiracy, is this an example of antisemitism? And is a failure to suspend or investigate an encouragement of antisemitism by default? | |||

"'It may have implied'.... that would obviously depend on how the reader takes the statement. The statement itself isn't anti semitic in my view. If it had read 'Irish groups financing' would that imply a catholic conspiracy? So this politician mentions Isreal in a statement about financing a british political group....do you really think that jewish people worldwide are going to freak out claiming anti semitism and racism and fascism and nazism etc....? There are several jewish lobby groups involved in the politics of this country and massively involved in US politics. Nobody shits the bed whenever AIPAC gets mentioned and that is an extremely powerful Isreali lobby group. " So you do not think it was an antisemitic statement? In which case the problem of not recognising antisemitism is more deeply rooted than we thought.... | |||

"Explain to me how saying 'financed by Isreal' is anti semitic in this case.... Then explain to me how it's not anti semitic to say 'AIPAC is financed by Isreal' .... " If you read the agreed rules on antisemitism, it probably falls under the following. "Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions" Unless Ruth had evidence they were being financed, it was removed due to it being very close the above definition. | |||

"But she said ISREAL..... not 'the jews' ... do i need to go through it again? You need to have a word with yourself." It seems to be a common factor in not recognising antisemitism because those who flirt with it refuse to believe that it amounts to what it is. Perhaps readers should look at the language used in Der Sturmer and ask themsleves how it is any different. The real problem is not the closed minds of small minded bigots but the failure to deal with it. | |||

"But she said ISREAL..... not 'the jews' ... do i need to go through it again? Criticising Isreal is NOT criticising 'the jews'... The same way that criticising Italy is not criticising 'the catholics' Criticising China is not having a go at bhudism...etc etc...." Being Jewish is not just about having a religion, it's also about ethnicity too. You can be an atheist and still be Jewish, you can't be atheist and still a Christian or Muslim. She said Israel, not Jewish so it's not anti-semitic you claim. But it is and here's why. 7 MPs leave the Labour Party because they think it has an anti-semitic culture. Members of the Labour Party claim that they are not being anti-semitic but are just being critical of Israel. A leading member of the Labour Party then makes an unproven claim that Israel is financially backing the 7 members who have left. The implication is that Israel is backing the 7 to help stop criticism of Israel and the 7 are part of some pro Jewish, Israeli, Zionist secret conspiracy to prevent criticism of Israel and not a genuine concern about racism and anti-Semitism in particular. The really worrying thing is that a lot in the left really do believe this. | |||

I've no idea about this new group I was actually referring to the labour friends of Israel, the conservative friends of Israel, the lib Dems friends of Israel, the British Israel communications and research centre, the board of deputies of British Jews and on and on the list goes. Theres about 250,000 Jewish people living in the UK, similar to the amount of Buddhists yet about 2000 times more lobbying. Like I said Israels best interests are often not ours yet a majority of those 250,000 UK citizens consider Israels best interests above ours! Ask a Catholic if they want what's best for the Vatican or a Muslim for Mecca, you'll get pretty similar answers. | |||
