I think his inability not to notice anti-Semitism - the invisibility of it to some on the Left, even when grotesque Jew cartooning is added in to the anti-capitalist message - is as dangerous, maybe more, than active conscious hate.https://twitter.com/Ubique907/status/978597442475225088 …

Says a tory mouthpiece who wouldn't dream of looking into her masters mp's.

Que? I wouldn’t vote for anyone I thought was racist or ran a racist campaign, eg. Tory campaign for Zac Goldsmith vs Sadie Khan was disgusting.

Actually, a third option is a possibility: he’s just *incredibly* unlucky in accidentally finding himself repeatedly standing alongside prominent anti-semites or signed up to anti-Semitic Facebook groups. Poor sod.
-
If you are talking about that hack piece by provocateur order order then I suggest you quit commenting on the subject now.
-
Lest you demonstrate your ignorance. I mean you cite the three Facebook groups but can you cite why his involvement in them was antisemitic. I mean one of them he was responding to someone who tagged him having met him at an event. Hardly damning is it.
-
The other was a group called something along the lines of Palestinian history that had occasionally some very antisemitic content but considering the name of the group it is close to the campaigning for Palestine that Jeremy was involved with.

I'm an advocate of the British union. Now I might by accident stumble across a Britain First page. But if I did, I'm pretty sure I'd quickly see the stink of racism that is all over those pages. I'd either leave or argue against the racists. What does the "future PM" do...
-
The thing is you say that, but I have a good many friends that supported Britain First until someone else pointed it out (one an actual Muslim supporting their anti pedophile message). Those sorts of groups rely on passing coverage to garner support.
-
Okay, let's say these "3" facebook pages were a mistake and he just didn't see the anti-semitism. I guess that means it's just a huge coincidence he has shared platforms with rabid anti-semites and called Hamas/Hezbollah "friends" etc etc etc etc...

His inability to recognise antisemitism (such as the mural) makes him unsuitable why? I mean can you tell me upon a quick glance why the mural was clearly antisemitic? (having seen it myself and looked at it for more than 5mins it is antisemitic but I am talking a passing glance)
-
Can I tell you why the mural is anti-semitic from a quick glance? Er, yes. So could anyone with eyes, half a brain and any historical knowledge, all of which I’d expect a PM-in-waiting to have.
-
Okay what clear aspects of the mural denote it as having to do with Jews upon first/passing glance?
-
Yes...why would the artist create an anti-semitic mural? If only there was an interview with a respected source to find out? Wait, there is...oh.https://twitter.com/davidicke/status/978605506364428289 …

This was released 21 mins ago. Now unless corbyn has a time machine he is not going to o have been able to read this.
-
I'm talking about the artist and showing how he clearly has an anti-semitism problem and that these views are clearly depicted in his mural.
-
Yes he has them and depicts them in the mural but at a passing glance you could construe it as being anti capitalist or peddling "cultural Marxist" conspiracy.
-
Wouldn't it have been a bit of a warning sign that it was being removed in the first place?

I’m guessing he is weighing up losing a few Jewish votes against gaining a hell of a lot of Muslim votes, I think he will probably think it’s a price worth paying. If nothing else he is a calculating and cynical politician, it’s just a numbers game to him.
