How many Jewish MPs did Corbyn stop from standing?
This isn't hard to follow. If you think that accusations of institutional prejudice against groups that put up with racist sh*t should be taken at face value and not viewed through the prism of political conspiracy/smear (as essentially Corbyn confirmed he did in that statement), then what Shaheen has alleged is as serious as what Jewish people alleged under Corbyn.
No, it isnt. You are not comparing like with like.

The Anti semitism scam was a political tool used by the Labour right, Israeli assets and the establishment to beat Corbyn.

One to defeat mild social democracy and two, to ensure the UK acted in the way it has to the next round of violence come genocide in Palestine.

I’m surprised the Tories haven’t made more of Labour’s policy of votes for 16 year olds to be honest

Would make us an outlier in the World, is clearly being done for electoral purposes and would play well with their base of olds

Right now they're too busy scrambling for lifeboats or frantically bailing water out of the hull.

There's plenty of evidence.

Nobody is actually saying there were no acts of anti semitism within Labour. They are saying they were significantly overstated. Just not as many cases as Hodge etc dreamed.

In essence the incidence of antisemitism in the LP is lower than in the general public.

I’d be interested to see how this was calculated? Please share

However, given they were ostensibly trying to run the country, “they’re a bit less racist than the average voter” isn’t a ringing endorsement

Anyway, why are you lot so worried about: women, far lefties, people of color, coloured people, Mad Max etc; our NHS is in a bloody terrible state and needs sorting pronto. I waiting ages for appointments. We pay our doctors peanuts & we've got monkeys. Unless sorted I reckon I will soon croak, so there will be one less Orient Supporter. Worry about the important things please.

The incidence of antisemitism was about 0.3% of the membership. And I agree even one is one too many.

Not sure if this is Maxy's reference source but does refer to 0.3% being a reasonable estimate.

The article you linked to doesn’t use the word “reasonable estimate” at all, in fact it challenges it

If you keep on reading, there is an update:

Update: Professor Greg Philo has contacted FactCheck to offer a likely source for Mr Corbyn’s claim: his 2019 book Bad News for Labour. In the book, Professor Philo takes the figures for antisemitism cases provided by Jennie Formby in 2019 and extrapolates back to estimate numbers across the whole of Mr Corbyn’s leadership. He says this estimate of 0.3 per cent of Labour members being involved in antisemitism cases is “well within what the existing evidence would indicate”.

I did, good on Prof Philip for owning up to being the source of JC’s bollocks stats

Anyway…. If you keep on reading

I believe we can all agree that the numbers involved were miniscule and the claims were either greatly exaggerated or at times false.

“The Labour right” say what you really mean.

Why are Jews the only people who aren’t allowed to self determine the definitions of racism towards them?

It's not a conspiracy theory. It's stone cold fact. It was a scam.

You know it and I know it. You are defending the indefensible.

I think we need CEB to take a deep dive into this one and establish the truth. He's good at researching stuff.
