This has been achieved by Israeli politicians and religious leaders who have weaponised both the religion of Judaism and the Holocaust to silence the critics of the actions of Israeli government and state. A government on the verge of creating a full Apartheid state and which continues to abuse Palestinians and especially those living in the largest concentration camp in the world – AKA Gaza. They have been very successful in having the Labour Party on the run increasingly using McCarthy like methods to deal with dissidents and anti-Semites alike! Larry is right – the Right of the Labour Party will try anything to bring him down – as Hodge has shown they dont care how they do it.

Stop it! Self hating Jew is a phrase I picked up from Jewish friends who are sick of attacks on the the state of Israel and Zionism. The BDS movement is anti semitic as is anyone and everything that seeks to destroy that state, the only democracy in the area. With ll of the terrible things going on in the world why do they, and probably you, obsess with Israel? The answer must surely be a hatred of Jews.

If anyone dares to support the BDS movement (as nonviolent protest against objectionable policies of Israel) they are a SHJ, but someone who eats pork, denies the existence of God, cheats on his wife, disrespects his parents, eats on Yom Kippur and steals from the needy is not described in those terms. Denying someones Judaism for political ends is itself a horrible form of Anti-Semitism, stop it.

Is that the best you can do? Sanders is what is known as a ” self hating Jew” but if you have to clutch at straws why not?

I am sure if he felt that the Labour Party was rife with anti-Semitism he would have said so.
