Re: Labour Watch
Sigh. The last few pages of this thread is typical of how this sort of mud sticks and obfuscates other much more important issues that needs to be examined & discussed critically - like yer actual Party policies, the competence (or otherwise) of those who would be entrusted to implement them if they ever got the chance, and the tensions/tactics of different factions within Labour.

Can you show us proof or evidence that the tories are fascists. I’ll go and grab a bite to eat whilst I wait, I fear it will stretch to breakfast.

Disgraceful. Falling asleep when Engerland are playing anuthing other than bowls is basically treason. I heard Boris has a full clockwork orange set up in his living room to make sure he didn't miss a second of it.

Re: Labour Watch
Looks like Labour are going for a General Election in todays vote
Bad move IMO
Johnson will make it all about Brexit, and nothing else. They hardly have a decent record to defend, and the pro remain vote will be split

You dont have to be a LabourParty member to join JLM, and you dont have to be Jewish, and many are not either
JLM is a Zionist organization, against Palestinian rights.
there are many organizations in the UK that are working for Zionist Israel, funded by very rich patrons
What a load of conspiratorial nonsense- how dare you?
I count 2 anti-Semitic tropes, and one factual inaccuracy.

Re: Labour Watch
I see Maggie Hodge has been reselected as the Labour candidate in Barking & Dagenham.
I take it that dismisses the argument that antisemitism is "rife" in the Party.

"Jewish Labour movement are an organization loyal to Israel, and only Israel".
That is obviously nonsense.
Some facts : JLM was disbanded, but reformed in 2015, just as Palestinian supporter Jerremy Corbyn was elected Labour leader.....coincidence eh?
JLM was relaunched in 2004. It saw an increase in membership in 2015 around the time of the 2015 leadership campaign.
You dont have to be a LabourParty member to join JLM, and you dont have to be Jewish, and many are not either
Members of other parties are ineligible. I think it is a good thing that non-Jews can join. Many have done in solidarity.
JLM is a Zionist organization, against Palestinian rights.
JLM promotes the idea of self determination for Jewish people within the state of Israel. This and supporting the rights of Palestinian people are not mutually exclusive. Supporting one does not mean that you oppose the other, which JLM does not do.
there are many organizations in the UK that are working for Zionist Israel, funded by very rich patrons
Okay, but this is true of many organisations and many political ideas, states and groups around the world. Why single out a group of Jewish people for this?

Re: Labour Watch
One might see it as 'to go after Corbyn'. Others might see it as finding a way of voicing deeply held concerns about the conduct of party members, including some current MPs, and former office holders. Some might argue that such a group wasn't hugely necessary in the Labour Party until this time.RedO wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2019 2:28 pmOh come on. The JLM was basically defunct until 2015.

The main concern was the 'wealthy patrons' comment. It doesn't take a genius to work that one out. The other was the suggestion that JLM have a loyalty to a foreign power.

The group and organised campaign was only necessary when a pro-Palestinian rights leader was elected. Up until then the leadership were supporters of Zionism.Red_Army wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2019 2:34 pmOne might see it as 'to go after Corbyn'.

For that political reason the JLM as a front organisation was reactivated and was funded by the Israeli embassy (see video of Joan Ryan being caught on camera).
The antisemitic smears then became a central plank of an overblown PR campaign to undermine Corbyn. Be clear what I am NOT saying here is that there were no instances of antisemitism nor that the leadership handled the situation particularly well.
However, creating thousands of false accusations was just another ploy to overwhelm bureaucrats dealing with the Party disciplinary procedures and as planned this enabled accusations to be levelled against Corbyn that he was not dealing with the matter properly.
I agree with you that the funding by wealthy patrons statement is an often used anti-Semitic trope and needs to be challenged at all times.
