There are people who have made critical comments about the state of Israel, not Jewish people. A lot of moderate Jews agree with them.

It works both ways.

Sure, there are those that criticise Israel, and are perfectly entitled to do so. But it spills beyond that in the Labour Party. The extremists blame all Jewish people and make threats against them, hence protection needed at Labour conferences, Jewish MP's leaving Labour. It's on an entirely different scale in Labour and those just blaming the media are just shutting their eyes to the problem
 
I suppose I could be a Marxist, Goldie, but if I am it would be coincidental, because I've never read any Marx.

I don't know whether Mcdonnell has read Marx either, but he describes himself as a Marxist, he is architect to Marxist-like policies in Labour and reports to Corbyn who is a fan of the government in Venezuela that claims to be Marxist. If it looks like a duck, quack, waddles and swims, it's a duck!

What Marxist policies do Labour have?

So Farage has said he has done secret deals with Labour and Tory leave MP's and won't stand in those constituencies. best way forward for Brexit.

Can you point to a specific threat made by anyone in the Labour Party against Jewish people as a whole ?
There might very well be some documented but I’m at work. Just curious.
 
Similar to johnson then and the Islamophobia within the tories hey
I don't see the muslim council taking away their funding from the Tories do you? Labour has a problem with jews...a big problem throughout the rotten party.
 
Farage has given a deadline to Boris of Nov 14th to have a leave alliance or he will field candidates in every constituency. The Tories won't like that. apparently Nige says many leave Tories still don't like Boris deal as it's not Brexit (Mrs May's deal). He thinks Boris is deluded if thinks he will win old Labour seats.... It won't happen.

Look at the activities of Shah, Livingstone and Williamson. There have been hundreds of individual complaints (863 reported by the Sunday Times last April). Many were never investigated by Corbyn. Milne and Formby interfered with the disciplinary process. At least, Tom Watson recognised and apologised for this.

Seven or eight Jewish MP's have left the Party. Hodge is being deselected. The only Jewish member of the shadow cabinet that I'm aware of, was Debbie Abrahams and she was sacked!
