When UK Labour picks on a Jewish woman who's 8 months pregnant - an MP who's had to deal with hideous misogynistic & antisemitic abuse and needs police protection - all because she won't offer unconditional devotion to the Great Leader - well, it's not a good look really, is it.

I think you’ve got this wrong. This is not an MP being picked on. It’s a CLP legitimately asking the question do local members have confidence in her as their MP after the speculation about her leaving the party - which she hasn’t denied.

Other Labour MPs have recently been through the same process for similar reasons - eg Chris Leslie and Angela Smith. This process isn’t gender or AS related, it’s when MPs are losing the confidence of their CLPs

She was called a 'disruptive Zionist' by one of the men behind the motion, Kenneth Campbell. The whole thing stinks of antisemitism. Labour needs to get to grips with this, and not just in a pathetically tokenistic way.

Back to the reason she was being held to account, these were the motions the CLP were being asked to consider. To me they seem reasonable and it’s up to the CLP to decide if they have merit. It’s democracypic.twitter.com/Ff743QCX4h

I’m no expert, but I understand opposing Zionism is distinctly different to being anti Semitic (where I understand many Jews actually oppose Zionism). So the comment on Zionism doesn’t necessarily associate with AS. I hasten to add I fundamentally oppose AS in all its forms

Please read a thread I shared earlier by
@Sara_Rose_G about antisemitism and its historical context. All Corbyn supporters should read it.1 antwoord 0 retweets 0 vind-ik-leuks
I have read the thread and I think it puts forward a view of AS. I can only speak from personal experience but I have not heard one AS remark as a Labour member. Back to Zionism I have heard criticisms about the state of Israel, but not generally the people of Israel
