Reference :- Andy Bolt warned us about Jeremy Corbyn's anti-semitism . The problem is , Jeremy is not actually anti-semitic .

Reference : -   Those who have a vested interest in discrediting Jeremy Corbyn ahead of the British election are accusing him of being anti-semitic . It's certainly an easy way to damage the man's reputation . But it happens to be untrue .   Andy's research is lacking yet again .

Wrong again Andy .    And this is a very serious thing to be wrong about .  Indeed Jeremy does sympathise with the plight of the Palestinians , as do a great many thinking people including such luminaries as Noam Chomsky and Chris Hedges .  But this doesn't mean that he is anti-semitic .  There have been several attempts to paint him as anti-semitic over the years .  All subsequently revealed to be baseless, and all politically motivated .  One famously included the use of the "f " word by a female Corbyn  hater  , Margaret Hodge , in the House of Commons.   Tut tut Margaret !   And  these shabby misrepresentations keep resurfacing , since they are useful weapons for  Corbyn's opponents .


So Andy , let's go straight to some horses' mouths to clarify the situation .
A Parliamentary Committee , with a strong bias against  Corbyn reached the following conclusion .
 "  There is no convincing or reliable evidence to support a higher prevalence of anti-semitic attitudes within Labour than any other political party "
Human rights advocacy group " Liberty "  concluded .
"   Labour is not overun by anti-semitism , islamaphobia , or other forms of racism . "
And more revealing still, British Jewish historian Geoffrey Alderman , an orthodox Jew ,  who himself dislikes Corbyn's pro Palestinian outlook , has stated .
 " Corbyn has an impressive , demonstrable record of supporting Jewish communal initiatives."
So you are completely wrong Andy .  The far right , as it flounders in the cesspool of it's own creation is clutching at straws . Once the far right was the domain of the anti-semite , but now they accuse the left of the same racism in the hope of scoring political points . It is a tactic born of desperation .
Do you know the author Howard Jacobsen, who writes for the New York Times ?   He completely fabricated a story claiming Holocaust denial was supported at the 2017 UK Labour conference . That was no little fib . It was one very big poisonous porkie .
You shouldn't be in the business of selling your audience pork pies Andy.   My son , Ken junior , the rabid socialist  , was quite alarmed when he heard your accusations .  We can thank him for doing the research that set us straight .   We  like to fight fairly , and discuss real policies rather than use lies to  fear monger , don't we Andy ?  

   Your comrade , Ken
