...and people who will defend him no matter what. Nobody is on the fence about Corbyn or ignorant about his past problematic views & associations. For those who defend him, they either dismiss it all as smears or the goalposts have moved so far now that they see nothing wrong...

It’s that awful vicious cycle of being vindicated, but nobody caring, so presenting more & more evidence, but people responding to that by thinking you’re hysterical / desperate / clutching at straws. Instead of being an exposé of things that would have sunk any...

...other politician, it is all so hotly contested by his followers that to a casual, disengaged bystander, it looks like some weird, shrill conflict of two sides. And the more you try to warn / educate / expose, the more shrill you look. And worst of all...

...the more normalised it becomes to push the boundaries of what is and isn’t antisemitic until it has become redefined by people who have no right or qualification to define it. The more we defend ourselves, the emboldened & justified people feel in their antisemitism.

I don’t know what the answer is. It is a howlingly frustrating time to be Jewish. I’ve never felt less heard, understood or cared for. It’s depressingly rare to find non-Jews who are ready to listen & learn & aren’t just engaging on a combative level. I’m exhausted.

Unfortunately you’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s almost expected that there’s more to come yet people aren’t disgusted by him anymore. Says more about the public than
@jeremycorbyn & that’s saying something. -
I'm rather more disgusted by things like food banks, the housing crisis, Universal Credit and Grenfell.
-
Why is it either or? I’m disgusted by all of those things too.
-
I'm not just disgusted in an abstract sense - I'm on UC, I've been bedroom taxed, my family and myself have been directly affected by these policies. Labour under Corbyn are the only ones speaking out about austerity.

They’re speaking out while championing a Brexit that will make it much worse for you. I’m sorry for your hardships & I know how awful it is when nobody’s listening & then someone *says* all the right things - but he’s doing the opposite with his...

...lies about a left-wing, jobs-first Brexit. I want all the things he’s saying - but I don’t believe he can, or will, implement them. And also this isn’t theory for me either. I am Jewish, my grandfather fled the holocaust. Antisemitism isn’t a political tool...

...and it’s not something I can shrug off or tolerate for a perceived greater good. It directly puts me and people I love in danger. As much as this isn’t theoretical for you, it’s not theoretical for me either. We want the same things - but you believe Corbyn and I don’t.

1) Even if it has no impact, it's important that these things are exposed. Corbynites relentlessly push their own Messianic narrative about him and try to shut down everyone else; so it's important to get the truth circulated as widely as possible.
-
It does have an impact though - it makes people think Jews are bullying Corbyn. They’re wrong, but that seems to be the general rumbling. It’s incredibly frustrating. It means any course of action to expose these things backfires every time. I’m so tired

-
I'm not sure that the twerps who think Jews are bullying Corbyn deserve to be described as "people".

There are diseases that can’t be cured but which are kept in check through medication. This medication plateaus in what it can do but it would be wrong to stop taking it because things would regress... 1/2

Reminders of Corbyn’s toxicity are an inoculation against sufficient members of society mainstreaming the AS virus he spreads, and hopefully preventing it taking over our body politic... 2/2

Sara, for those that have seen Corbyn at his traitorous, despicable worst over the past 40 years do not need to search for "problematic things", it's etched in our heads - alongside those of McDonnell, Livingstone, Milne, etc. etc. "New" people need to understand what he truly is
