David you know perfectly well he was referring to the handful of Zionists that had been berating the Palestinian ambassador. But you go right ahead and twist this like so many others are.
The “English irony” comments are wrong and risk offending the 90% of British Jews who identify as Zionists, not only those referred to at the start of this speech. That’s why I condemn this type of insidious language, wherever it comes from.https://twitter.com/stephenkb/status/1032935741100310528 …

Oh ffs David, don’t you start with this utter garbage. It’s dying on its arse mate. Misquoting is jarringly easy, having the courage to present the quote in context (with integrity) is a step too laborious for your average charlatan.
-
So how do you explain Jews that attack Zionism? (But thanks for once again showing that this has nothing to do with antisemitism and everything to do with Zionism and the defence of Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians.

Not playing this tedious manufacturing of consent and outrage. Nothing Adam Langleben says is of interest to me. If I want a clear minded, fair appraisal of issues pertaining to Judaism or AS, I’ll be looking towards a genuine scholar like Norman Finkelstein.

It would be wrong, if that was what he actually said, David. The fact is, he didn't. The Mail deliberately and maliciously mis-represented what was said. And here is a verbatim note of what he said. He was talking about the people who had berated the Ambassador at a meeting.pic.twitter.com/3IIHvgW21r

Utter garbage and you know it!!! He was obviously talking about Zionists as part of a political movement It’s like saying you offend 25M UK citizens baptised into the Church of England when you criticise church rulings You cynically weaponise antisemitism, shame on you!

Funny how Lammy always jumps into flavourof the day
-
It’s absolutely pathetic, and this guy has pretensions to lead the party FFS
-
Yes I have never been that keen on Lammy, he makes a lot of noise but says little
-
Well I quite liked DL, but his participation in the cynical campaign to paint one of the UK’s great anti-racist campaigners as a hater of Jews, has probably blown his chances of the leadership down the line
-
Didn’t he refuse a cabinet post? And then say he wasn’t in the cabinet as his party was run by white men

You've just offended the Welsh, Scots and Irish who also do irony... Nothing wrong with what Jeremy said...
-
Here's Jeremy's full speech (~7 mins in, but the whole video is worth watching)...https://youtu.be/rBouC-XpJx4
-
At least it will get people to watch the speech and learn more about the history of Israeli oppression of Palestinians,, cheers for the smears
-
Palestinians were oppressed for hundreds of years by other regimes but whete the condemnation of the Turks, Egyptians, Jordanians etc?
-
What!!!!!?? Really... The Israelis are, today, yesterday, for past 50 years massacring the Palestinians. It's their modus operandi. THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN PEACE, TWO STATE SOLUTION. THEY'RE RACIST, xenophobic, apartheid hell bent (and got one way tickets to) hell. Karma. Sad.
