      no, they're a bullshit lie that at heart conflates any regard whatsoever for the human rights of Palestinians with "anti-semitism"

      to them literally any conception that the state of Israel could do something wrong is anti-semitism

        It wasn't a complete lie.

        He was pro-Palestinian. Advocating for the full citizenship and sovereignty of Palestinians within their own state is de facto anti-Semitic in the eyes of western media.

          Mods at the shitty labour subreddit argued that giving the Palestinians rights is taking away Israel’s right to self determination.

          Totally not apartheid like though.

        This might sound like supposition, but I want to remind everyone that internal Labour documents leaked which proved that this absolutely happened and was intentional

          Young people defended Corbyn. He got 10m votes with half the country convinced he was a terrorist, communist and antisemite. Let it be of note it took 4 years of unrelenting propaganda from 99% of the print media to establish this. The major effect was disenfranchising traditional Labour voters, while a white supremacist anti-EU party, "The Brexit Party" ran in constituencies against Labour in order to split their vote...while the Libdems did the same thing in Labour fortresses and also contributed to the effect, but to a lesser extent. They did despite being 'center left' relentlessly attack Labour and ended up losing most of their seats because their entire campaign was built on 'Corbyn is bad lol". It was a fix.

          Go to ukpol on reddit, which is lib central and the going take is that it was obviously bullshit but Corbyn 'deserved it' because he violated to sanctity of liberalism and the classist standards they impose on the working class. If he had 'defended him self better' then the liberals wouldn't have had to sabotage him.

        Fuck all those Blairite cunts in Labour, Jez should have purged all of them but unfortunately he can be too naive or kind at times. Also fuck the Lib Dems for good measure.
