Labours ongoing anti semitism row

I’m certain that I’m not the only one who recognises the concept of fake news that the board of Jewish deputies is using in its constant claim of anti-Semitism in labour party to attack Jeremy Corbyn and which this unrepresentative group refuses to offer any evidence on.
There are two reasons for the tirade of vicious complaints from the Jewish Lobby.  The first is because the board of Jewish deputies wishes, to destabilise Jeremy Corbyn because of his sympathy towards the Palestinians at the disgraceful manner that Israel treats them.  Secondly the Jewish Lobby in the shape of the board of Jewish deputies wish to create a climate of intimidation in the hope that it will deter anyone else from making adverse reports on the racist attitude of the state of Israel against the Palestinians such as the Sabra and Shatila massacre where between 762 and 3,500 civilians died and the even more recent vindictive murders when the IDF used snipers to cold bloodedly shoot down Palestinian demonstrators but of course to do so would probably be claimed to be anti-Semitic.

No need for fake news when labour members provide all the material

I believe there is enough smoke in the Labour party that antisemitism is indeed alive and growing . Is JC antisemitic ? Maybe ,maybe not but his inability to only see one side in this has a trickle down effect that the left wing embraces as source material . Much as yourself I find Isreal actions as repugnant as their neighbours but taking a side as JC has done and unwilling to un do is the worst possible position or solution for the region .

Much as who's self ??

I think his tirade failed when he used the term "Jewish" 3 times before criticising Israel. And then using it twice more in that criticism.

This Guardian article I found to be very interesting:

For 40 years I’ve stayed with the party, dark days and all. Why  am I now on the brink of leaving?

It highlights the concerns felt by many in the Labour Party.

“Corbyn spent his years of political obscurity associating with the sort of cranks who gladly spread conspiracy theories of an anti-Semitic flavour. Old tropes about bankers, and globalists, and the “Israeli lobby” are the very definition of anti-Semitism. Corbyn, having lived comfortably among the sort of people who gladly spread this sort of hatred, cannot now deal with the problem. He is the problem.”

Do you think an "Israel Lobby" exists in the USA or is this just an Anti Semitic accusation?
