We, and the people we represent, must not allow the hypocrites, liars and mountebanks to gain control of our party.

http://news.sky.com/story/1688489/labour-frontbenchers-may-quit-over-row Some Labour frontbenchers are threatening to resign A Times article, enthusiastically reproduced and embellished by Sky News and other media (and all full of the usual anonymous "sources"), graphically confirming that the real reason behind the furore over "anti Semitism" is the seditious conspiracy by some members of the Parliamentary Labour Party, encouraged and supported by sections of a duplicitous media, to remove the leadership of the Labour Party in some sort of coup. A coup which has been in preparation since the summer of last year and now uses the smokescreen of anti Semitism to mask the real intentions. Duplicitous hypocrites, liars and mountebanks skulking in the shadows hiding behind press anonymity. Should these people actually quit, it would be a case of good riddance, and take your schemes, plots and conspiracies with you and join another party.

It has more to do with "the leadership" than antisemitism

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/29/jeremy-corbyn-sets-up-inquiry-into-labour-antisemitism-claims Jeremy Corbyn sets up inquiry into Labour antisemitism claims. The “antisemitism” controversy currently the main media focus, is not about antisemitism. It is about certain individuals within the Parliamentary Labour Party, sections of the media and a few vested interests who have taken this opportunity to attack the leadership of the Labour party and seek an election to challenge the leader. What these cynical opportunists have actually achieved is the very opposite of that which they claim they are trying to prevent, namely the local elections for next Thursday resulting in losses for Labour at the polls. It remains to be seen whether or not these "predictions" actually materialise, It is despicable that a relative small number of members of my own party are eager form a duplicitous conspiracy to oust the party leadership, a conspiracy wh...

John Mann's questionable language and stage managed indignation.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/video/2016/apr/28/john-mann-calls-ken-livingstone-a-nazi-apologist-video?CMP=share_btn_fb John Mann chased Mr Livingstone up the stairs at the BBC's offices in Millbank, shouting and calling him a "f****** disgrace". In an extraordinary outburst of venom, questionable language and clearly stage managed indignation, John Mann “confronts” Ken Livingstone in the street and on the stairway of the BBC's offices in Millbank. It is perhaps by coincidence that the witnesses to this verbal assault were, apart from the passing public, cameramen, reporters and hacks from the Mail, Telegraph, Independent and all the usual suspects from the television media and newspapers, eager to grasp any opportunity to attack and discredit the Labour party no matter how tenuous the link may be. The allegation is already doing the rounds that this whole altercation was no more than an opportunistic stunt engineered for the invited audienc...

Supporters of Israel again using the "anti-Jewish bigotry" argument to stifle criticism.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/major-medical-journal-lancet-under-attack-for-extremist-hate-propaganda-over-its-coverage-of-the-israelipalestinian-conflict-10199892.html The Lancet under attack for 'extremist hate propaganda' over its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Damage at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, shelled by the Israeli army on July 21, 2014,   An article in the Lancet, deemed to be critical of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, with some complaining it was “anti-Jewish bigotry”, demonstrates how Jews are protected by law from discrimination,anti semitism and abuse in the media or elsewhere. They occupy a place within society that is probably unique, in terms of laws and restrictions being applied for the protection of a minority, which is not afforded to any other group or religion. By continually playing "the Holocaust card" or numerous variations of it, Tel Aviv and those who unre...

Criticism does not equate to anti semitism.

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/05/14/anti-semitism_n_5323142.html?utm_hp_ref=uk More Than One Billion People 'Hold Anti-Semitic Views', Says ADL The ADL’s National Director Abraham Foxman The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, is an international Jewish non-governmental organization based in the United States. Before wandering down this cul de sac of ADL propaganda, people should really understand the difference between being anti  Jewish, and anti Israeli. The way in which the IOF behave in the occupied territories of Palestine, will naturally draw criticism and condemnation from many quarters. That criticism is not anti semetic, it is a condemnation of an Israeli government witch condones and encourages continuing occupation and excesses by the occupying forces. The same criticism would be leveled against any power which occupied anothers land and behaved in similar ways. However...
