There are other very powerful foreign lobbies in the United States of America, and the Jewish lobby, with its links with the Israeli government, is one of those strong voices"?
Well I'd think it was very typical of his inability / refusal to see Jewish people as full members of a nation.
You remember that he (in)famously told British Jews that they didn't understand British cultures and values, well in this quote he's describing the American Jewish Lobby as "another FOREIGN lobby" isn't he ?
Of course, they're Americans who happen to be Jewish, but to him they're Jews so they're foreign in some way. Just the same as when he tells Jews in this country that they don't understand "our" British values.
He sticks a bit in about apparent links with Israel, but if his apologists here are right, not all Jews are Zionists , yet according to him they're all foreign .
All joking aside, you can see from his language that however much he tries to claim it's something about Zionism or the country of Israel , it's really not .
See, what worries me is when instead of saying " oh yeah, actually so and so isn't right - we'd better think about this creeping in" , people start trying to twist the facts and justify it. I'm surprised to be honest that we've seen that happen right here, but we have I'm afraid and it's got to be challenged because it really becomes dangerous if people don't call it out for what it is.

Sorry, I've just realised that it was the "great man" Nigel Farage who those quotes are attributed to. They were widely condemned by the Jewish community and by the CAA:
https://antisemitism.uk/caa-demands-...ican-politics/
He was also condemned for perpetuating the same tropes that LoM has just done https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/ni...heories-502474
I'm sure you'll join me in condemning the massive, racist c**t and his role in the rise of anti-Semitism we've been seeing.

Jewish group calls Nigel Farage's comments anti-Semitic - I'll have to look into it.

If you are referring to the quote I think you are then this is a disingenuous representation of what was said.
You don't have to sensationalise everything, I think we probably all agree Corbyn crossed a line that day.

No, this thing of using a serious thing like anti semitism for political point scoring is wrong.
You posted one thing about Nigel Farage and I said I'd look into it, but you can't possibly equate that with voluminous acts and statements over decades by some labour people.
PLEASE don't use such language as labouring hard or people buried in holes on this subject. I just hope it's not Freudian .

Keep on telling yourself that.
https://www.un.org/unispal/document/...press-release/
Some highlights:
Quote:
More than 6,000 unarmed demonstrators were shot by military snipers, week after week at the protest sites by the separation fence.
Quote:
The investigation covered the period from the start of the protests until 31 December 2018. 189 Palestinians were killed during the demonstrations inside this period. The Commission found that Israeli Security Forces killed 183 of these protesters with live ammunition. Thirty-five of these fatalities were children, while three were clearly marked paramedics, and two were clearly marked journalists.
Quote:
Unless undertaken lawfully in self-defence, intentionally shooting a civilian not directly participating in hostilities is a war crime
Quote:
The Commission took note of the Israeli claim that the protests by the separation fence masked “terror activities” by Palestinian armed groups. The Commission found however that the demonstrations were civilian in nature, with clearly stated political aims. Despite some acts of significant violence, the Commission found that the demonstrations did not constitute combat or military campaigns.
Quote:
The Commission found that some members of the Higher National Committee organising the protests, which includes Hamas representatives, encouraged or defended demonstrators’ use of indiscriminate incendiary kites and balloons, causing fear among civilians and significant damage to property in southern Israel. The Commission concluded that Hamas, as the de facto authority in Gaza, failed to prevent these acts.
It is still going on although nobody cares anymore - https://mondoweiss.net/2019/10/43-ch...march-in-gaza/

Who is "political point scoring"? I'm pointing out the sheer hypocrisy you're showing. When you thought it was Corbyn who made those comments you had an opinion. When you discovered that it was actually Farage who made them, suddenly it's "I think he's actually talking about something else" and "I'll have to look into what he said". It's not as if Farage doesn't have a long, disgusting history of racist behaviour, is it?
As for the "language" that I used. Seriously?! You're pretending to be offended by me using a pun on the name of the party that you so greatly oppose to mock you because there's the most tenuous link ever with the word 'labour' and Jews? You're really trying to divert attention away from your massive balls-up aren't you? (Should I not say "balls-up" as Jews are circumcised and the foreskin is located near the testicles?)
Did you look into Farage's anti-Semitic comments? (Not sure what that would entail). Are the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism wrong about him?

You've just said "the Jew" an incredible amount of times to describe the Jewish community. Once again, referring to Jews (plural) as "the Jew" is widely regarded to be anti-Semitic. It's how Hitler referred to them to dehumanise them.
Are you sure that you're not anti-Semitic LoM? You've stated that Jews living in New York have lots of money and influence (what's known as 'Economic Anti-Semitism') and now you're calling the Jewish community "The Jew".
Maybe the EHRC should investigate you?

Re: Jewish group walks away from Labour
I think the general consensus of the left here is that anti Zionism / anti semitism is okay. If this reflects the attitudes of the left generally then I think people will take this into account in voting during the forthcoming election.
I know that Rabbis and other Jewish leaders were already warning everyone not to vote labour and I don't blame them on the basis of what we've seen here. What's more significant in numbers is that I don't think the general public will ignore the danger of having an anti Semite running the country.

Well you said he described all Jews as not understanding British culture and values, he wasnt describing all British Jews and he wasn't referring to all culture and values. But other than that, I guess it is exactly the same :rolleyes:

Re: Jewish group walks away from Labour
Well, you may say that Eric, and you may quote a liberal Rabbi, but the test will be how Jews vote.
That will be real, not just an idea. It's one thing to argue the toss on a message board and it's another to convince Jewish people they're wrong to be suspicious of labour or persuade them to vote for what many of them see as a very racist party which I must tell you many of them privately compare with the Nazis in their early stages.
You wonder why they migrate to Israel with their assets after they've seen one holocaust justified by what they ( rightly or wrongly) regard as German socialists and then you wonder why they defend themselves fiercely when another group who openly say they'd like to kill all Jews attack them there. Well, I don't wonder.

Your repy sums it up really no real concern just make some barbed personal comnent .

If you're any good and you work hard you'll do okay. You've just admitted that you're jealous of success , so maybe you should have made more effort. If success is one of the reasons for your feelings toward Jews maybe you should consider that the treatment they've received is hardly privileged.

Where have I admitted I'm jealous Philip? I'm nothing of the sort and I'm very happy with the effort I've put in over the years thank you. Those magic mushrooms of yours must be very potent.
I've never ever met anyone who's worked hard and been ok; I've only seen really hard working, brave people like miners putting in 7 day a week slogs in grim conditions penniless and broken in their later years. However, I've also seen plenty of people who have made relative fortunes not through their own industry but through the hard work of exploited others.
Jews have been castigated throughout history and for many different reasons and there's no doubting they have often been treated very harshly yet, as I note that you have conveniently sidestepped my question on the Armenian genocide, there are countless other ethnicities and socio -religious groupings around the world which have been treated equally as badly but they don't get the same platform to appeal their cause as Jewish people do because they don't have powerful friends to support them
-
Re: Jewish group walks away from Labour
Only in your mind do all Jews have powerful friends to support them. Only in your mind is the extermination of six million human beings called " being treated harshly". Only in your mind were there "various reasons " for the persecutions.
I've rarely met anyone who does well without working hard, and only in your mind are hard working successful people depriving you of some entitlement to steal the food from their children's mouths.
That's your beef with Jews isn't it ? You think all Jews are rich and intelligent so you envy them and you want to punish them for your own failings.

Re: Jewish group walks away from Labour
I note that some love to stick to the magic 6 million figure hereabout in spite of the fact that the 1945 Soviet guesstimates of 4 million deaths at the Auschwitz labour camp being revised down to 1 million and Majdanek's original 1.5 million dropping to 78k. Alternatively the Soviets were accurate and the Polish government are anti-Semites.
The Red Cross' grand total for deaths at German labour camps was 271k. It's a wonder some European governments don't attempt to prosecute them for Holohoax, er, Holocaust denial.

These are things which people should be free to discuss and I've never agreed with this idea of "holocaust denial" being banned because it impinges freedom of speech and might give the impression there's something to hide.
I still think this,although when I witness the thinly veiled bloodlust by some here, ( not you), I can at least understand why people react by trying to silence such a dangerous philosophy.
Who knows the real numbers, but it was certainly a very bad thing which we don't want to let happen again.
I'd have my own comments about the matter but I'm not going to post them here because there are one or two who would attempt to use any small historical error to justify their race hate.
