That's appallingly ignorant of you, Bob. Judaism is a religion. Jewishness is an ethnicity, a cultural heritage. Someone with that identity doesn't have to practise any religion to remain Jewish. They could be an atheist and still be a Jew.

Bob, I’ve heard that one of the Rothschilds does her Countdown sums on a Zionist calculator then thought-beams her the answers via Jewish telepathy
-
Countdown.. I thought I knew her from somewhere' She is quite good at maths though sadly life is more than numbers but she is a Tory so will not understand that. Mr. Corbyn sends his regards...

I honestly don't think that
@JeremyCorbyn would be happy about the way you are conducting yourself in his name, Bob. You're bringing our party into disrepute here. You'll probably end up being suspended. Is that really what you want? To lose your membership and damage the party? -
Steve,I speak for myself, no one else. I speak the truth as I see it and am not influenced by the prospect of gain or loss. You have shown support to
#RachelRiley during her attack on the Labour leadership; would it be impertinent to ask why?. -
That's not true, Bob. I've shown solidarity with Rachel against the antisemitic hate I've witnessed being hurled at her. I don't have to agree with everything or indeed anything else she says. I support the left direction of our party but not the a/s that some members are voicing
-
I would also be behind Riley if she denounced nationwide racial hatred, but she is selective of both the victims and aggressor. The worst type of charlatan. For someone of her reputation to do this confounds me. There are problems within Labour but not in isolation.
-
What time do you normally call it a night on your antisemitism rants, Bob? Just so we know and can plan the team's workload.
-
Sorry Steve, I am 70 with prostrate and bladder issues which result in insomnia so I dont sleep much, Just for you I will go on netflix goodnight

I’m not sure that a ‘celebrity’ Jew is any different to an ‘ordinary’ Jew. However, as an ‘ordinary’ Jew, I can tell you that since
@jeremycorbyn has led that party, I’ve noticed anti semitism for the 1st time in my ‘ordinary’ Jewish life! -
Have you been aware of antisemitism anywhere other than within the labour party?
-
To add to that, he doesn’t give a damn about Jews. Especially if it helps him to get the Muslim vote!
-
Bit of anti-Muslim sentiment detected there Stevan, Sure you dont mean it though,
-
Yes, let's not blame the Muslim community for this, Steven. I wish you were so quick to detect and challenge antisemitic sentiments, though, Bob.
-
It is not the antisemitic sentiments I challenge. It is the fraudulent use of such sentiments for political reasons As per Riley

Have you accused anyone else of 'using their cultural heritage to promote self-interest' or only Jews?
-
You also appear to be blaming Rachel Riley for hate crime against Jews.
-
You appear to be distorting my argument to suit your own agenda.
-
My agenda is opposing racism, Bob. I seriously recommend you take the time to study these issues. You are applying double standards to Jewish people. If a person of Chinese heritage receives racist abuse, is your empathy conditional on their views about the Chinese government?
-
Why are you supporting an individual that is against racism but only in the Labour party?, If
@RachelRileyRR had spoken against antisemitism in the UK, she would of had my full support but she did not, she chose to use it as a weapon in a political battle against Labour. -
Is this fair Bob? I know it’s morphed into that, but do you think that was the motivation from the onset? I’m not sure. For what it’s worth, I think some of the things you have been called is appalling. I hope you can find some common ground and work from there
-
Thanks Neil, I have tried to put across that Riley is being very specific in her campaign against antisemitism and would of had a lot more support if she aimed it at the UK instead of using it against Labour. Incidentally I voted for Andy Burnham in the leadership election.
-
Rachel is criticising the antisemitism she's experienced, most of which seems to come from people such as yourself who claim to be leftwing. You demand she also criticise a/s she hasn't experienced. I hope we can persuade her to support Labour but you're really not helping, Bob.
