Is this the reason for the anti Labour movement?

What Is Happening In Gaza? Why Palestinians Are Protesting – And Dying

Jerusalem is claimed as the official capital of both Israel and Palestine. The Palestinian claim is recognised by 136 of the 193 member states of the United Nations. The USA and the UK are among those who have not recognised it.

I assume if Corbyn gets into power he may move to joining the other 136 member states.

Is that because there is an issue with the IHRA definition* or because Jeremy Corbyn is an anti Semite ?

* given that the wording confusing and could lead to legitamet criticism of the State of Israel and it's actions as anti-semitic.

robel

If Corbyn got into power and did that, thats up to him. It wont change anything on the ground

Its important to all three Abrahamic religions but only central to one, Judaism.

robel

Comparing Israel/Israelis/ the government to nazis is not in any way political criticism, as an example. And what is your definition of Anti Semitism?

And this opinion is probably why peace in the region is a long way off. Sounds like the violence in the region will get worse rather than better, especially after the USA's embassy announcement :-(

robel

Peace in the region is a long way off for a multitude of reasons but if you think its because of Israel, youre wrong.

And why shouldnt Israel claim Jerusalem as its capital, the Palestinians have done this and they dont even have/want a state….

Toko Black

Comparing The State of Israel/it's Government to Nazis could well be considered over the top, unfair, exaggeration etc but it does not automatically mean that a person issuing such a statement is an anti-semite.

Given the current situation in Israel and it's policy to declare itself a "Jewish Nation state and that the Jewish people have exclusive rights to self-determination with it."

robel

Over the top, exaggeration??? Do you have any idea what the nazis did??? any idea at all??? Oh and yes a single Jewish nation state, how the world cant accept that…….It was even laid out as such in the Balfour Declaration and adopted by the League of Nations, " A home in Palestine for the Jewish people"...
