Anti-Semitism in the Labour Party?

Harry's Place

From Harry's Place:

[Jeremy]Corbyn has emboldened the most fringe elements of the left---conspiracists, obsessive Israel haters and Islamists, those who for all their lives have been consigned to the extreme political fringes. They used to meet in dingy pubs and left-wing bookshops; now they’re running the show.

These are the people who carried Corbyn to his leadership. We thought he may leave them behind when he became leader, he didn’t. We don’t hold much hope that he will leave them behind if he becomes Prime Minister.

As much as I would like to say that the recent stories have turned the tide (or at least stemmed it), it has done the opposite. The vitriol has increased and the Jeremy Corbyn supporting Facebook forums are more active than ever. Their resolve has not been weakened, it has only been strengthened, their anger has not been dampened, it has only been intensified. His leadership is nothing more than an obsessive cult, and yet that is why it is so strong...

Yesterday's SFGATE article on the Israel's alleged missile hit on Syrian military base brought out the wingnuts. I am happy if it was Israel who did it, at least ONE country in the world will stand up to Assad and his chemical warfare...and just look around our fair city of SF, where are the protests? Where is our board of supervisors in their outrage? Complete silence...yet watch as the students at SF State and shitty college come down on "Zionists" at the drop of a hat.
