Stating that the leaders of Israel are Jewish, therefore anyone criticizing Israel's leaders hates all Jews is merely the flip side of classic racist logic. Example of racist logic: "some undocumented workers commit murders; you are an undocumented worker, therefore you are a murderer."<br /><br />I expect the real purpose is to shut Mr. Corbyn down and prevent a left-wing populist viewpoint from being expressed - allowing a right-wing populist movement free rein.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-82713813993637186202016-07-01T10:53:05.386-04:002016-07-01T10:53:05.386-04:00The Right wants to establish this formula: Settler...The Right wants to establish this formula: Settlers = Likud = Israel = World Jewry and then claim that any critique of any of the three left terms equates to anti-Semitism. And more topically and more shrilly extend that to anyone who advocates BDS in response to now decades of the Sharon/Netanyahu approach to the Palestinians. Which beginning with Sharon's deliberately provocative armed 'visit' to the Temple Mount was designed to produce armed resistance. In the interests of Likud.<br /><br />But I have now lost all hope. Whatever possibility of rational discussion of I-P issues there was (and that wasn't much) it all got washed away with the murder of a 13 year old girl with joint American-Israeli citizenship. Somewhere Sharon is smiling down (or perhaps peering up).<br /><br />This won't get better. Not when we have Greater Israel contending with the House of Saud and two of the oldest empires in the world (now reborn) the Turkish under Erdogan and the Persian under a competing array of political and military forces. The only people who can look on this with any sense of satisfaction are the deranged Last Days Christians safely out of the line of fire. For them this is a literal dream coming literally true. For me I see the Syrian nightmare perpetuating and spreading.<br /><br />Returning to the point. There is no way that Corbyn can negotiate this point. Nobody can. The lines are drawn in a way that prevents rational negotiation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04849952583072660993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-81390802988597617402016-07-01T10:07:41.655-04:002016-07-01T10:07:41.655-04:00Antisemites breath air.
