The Left in Britain, as well as in the United States, has been growing increasingly anti-Israel and anti-Semitic, and now this throws down the gauntlet. Will Corbyn and Labour repudiate anti-Semitism and dedicate themselves sincerely to the defense of the Jewish community in the UK, or will they continue to embrace the growing Muslim community in the UK and endorse and validate its Qur’an-based Jew-hatred? The smart money is on their paying lip service to the former while doing the latter.
“Corbyn government would pose an ‘existential threat to Jewish life’, say three major Jewish newspapers,” by Joe Watts, Independent, July 26, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Jeremy Corbyn’s efforts to resolve the row over Labour antisemitism has suffered a major blow, after Britain’s three leading Jewish newspapers claimed a government led by him would pose an “existential threat to Jewish life” in the UK.
The unprecedented joint editorial on the front pages of the Jewish Chronicle, Jewish News and the Jewish Telegraph, accused Labour of showing “contempt for Jews and Israel”.
In particular it cited the party’s decision to adopt a “diluted” version of the International Holocaust Rememberance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
But as the crisis deepened on Thursday morning, Labour peer Melvyn Bragg accused Mr Corbyn of “feebleness” in tackling antisemitism within the party.
It marks a new low in relations with the Jewish community and follows a vow from Mr Corbyn’s spokesman to take action against a senior Labour MP who is said to have called Mr Corbyn an “antisemite” and “racist”.
Under the headline “United We Stand”, the three papers described Labour’s refusal to adopt in full the IHRA definition of antisemitism as “sinister”.
“We do so because the party that was, until recently, the natural home for our community has seen its values and integrity eroded by Corbynite contempt for Jews and Israel.
“The stain and shame of anti-Semitism has coursed through Her Majesty’s Opposition since Jeremy Corbyn became leader in 2015.”
In a direct attack on Mr Corbyn they express concern that “a man who has a problem seeing that hateful rhetoric aimed at Israel can easily step into anti-Semitism could be our next Prime Minister”….

So what is the feedback from da boys in “The City of London”? Are they completely neutral, aiding or secretly fightin it. It got to be one of the three, or ALL of the three???

Knowing God’s relationship to Israel and all the Jews…Why would anyone want to go against God???
Mac-101 says
It sure appears to me that many of G-ds Chosen people are going against G-d and Israel. WHY?

How do you know Corbyn is not a Muslim. Just because he has not declared his shahadah?
He is their useful idiot. Iran funded his campaign.
R Russell says
Of course the Tory Party isn’t any better.

I can’t find it right now, but I’m sure there is one with Qatar too.
Let’s not forget that Woolf Report which said Christianity is no longer the main religion in the UK and that other religions must be given a higher profile.
Well only one religion has been given a higher profile and that religion wants all the Jews on the planet wiped out.

Labour’s growing anti-semitism is not at all surprising: the party can no longer rely on the votes of the traditional British working class, and so they turn to muslims as their new vote bank (studies have shown that muslims overwhelmingly vote Labour).
The Labour Party’s done the arithmetic, and the answer’s quite simple: there are more muslims in the UK than Jews, ergo the Jews get tossed under the bus. I wonder which of the other special interest groups Labour courts will be next to be hurled under that bus in order not to jeopardise the muslim vote. Gays? ‘Wymmynz’? Trannies? Anyone taking bets?
Clive Stephen Delmonte says
Let’s not forget that for years Sir Oswald Moseley seems to have felt at ease as a Labour MP.

…………………..
Glad the journalists at these Jewish newspapers have noticed this, and are willing to speak out.
As bad as May has been, Corbyn would *much, much worse*:

Corbyn government would pose an “existential threat to Jewish life,”
Probably would pose a threat to anyone not of the Red Green Axis as well, and even maybe some of the Red factions.
Chris Malan says
Many of you will not know this; in the late forties, Palestine was under England. England had made promises to the Arabs about Palestine for helping England against the Axis powers in the war. England tried to keep some of these promises and tried to prevent the Jews returning to Palestine from settling in at least some places. Some of the returning Jews became terrorists, like the Stern Gang – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(militant_group) The English hanged some of these people. At one stage these terrorists bombed the King David hotel and killed something like 90 people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing Menachim Begin, a later Israeli prime minister, was involved in this bombing.
In the end, England was in reality forced to withdraw from Palestine. Some of the older English still remember all this and some of them have little love for the Jews. What some of the Jews did to many of the Arabs as they settled in Palestine is also not wide knowledge. It even upset some of the other Jews in Palestine.
A bit of background to give you a better understanding.

Oh dear! Please get the name of the country correct. England didn’t do that alone. The whole country was involved.

Is Chris Malan stumping for the destruction of Israel?
And of course most of us know this history–despite the skewed version he presents.

US readers need to know that Corbyn’s supporters are on their way to your country to try to topple Trump from power. I hope they are refused entry and sent back. Better still let them try, arrest them and keep them incarcerated of decades!
