Hardly a proof of anything but an Israeli Palestinian rights campaigner put in a freedom of information request against the Israeli government after Israeli newspapers reported suggestions that Bibi was deliberately trying to gently caress with pro-Palestinian party leaders worldwide.

If you really want to know more about the campaign to try and label Jeremy Corbyn an anti-semite, read this article by a British Jew who goes over it in great detail: Before I go any further, let me make something abundantly clear. Of course antisemitism exists on the left. The reason is because it exists everywhere. It is a horrific cancer which the Jewish people have been fighting for over 2000 years. Jewish people like my late Holocaust-surviving grandmother and her whole family. Jewish people like myself too. What I expect anyone fighting against it to do is call it out whenever they see it, with zero tolerance. But in Britain in 2019, especially online, that is not what is happening. Instead, not only is antisemitism on the right, which as the Institute for Jewish Policy Research found in a comprehensive report in 2017, is considerably more prevalent than on the left, disgracefully ignored; but thousands of good, decent, anti-racist Corbyn and Labour supporters have been smeared, bullied, attacked in positively McCarthyite fashion: simply for being Corbyn and Labour supporters. Including, in the latest horrifying example, a 16-year-old girl. The reason for this? It’s political. In a country with a racist Prime Minister, a racist government, a governing party which ignores all calls for an inquiry into institutionalised Islamophobia, whose belatedly added guidelines on antisemitism don’t even apply to its members — only its representatives — and with many on the right (including Daniel Hannan and Leave.EU) routinely repeating a hideous, vile trope against George Soros while much of the media barely says a word, this is the only possible explanation. https://medium.com/@shaunjlawson/enough-is-enough-rachel-riley-gnasherjew-and-the-political-weaponisation-of-antisemitism-5251bb1adec5

Ok, that's actually much worse than what bigleaguepolitics reported. Their story was thinly sourced and it was not apparent the woman involved was intending to publicly accuse Fairfax, if she does (and the denial implies she already has) she seems pretty credible on paper. She's a progressive academic who lives on the other side of the country. I'd be strongly inclined to believe her unless Fairfax has exculpatory evidence he hasn't yet offered.

Charliegrs posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't seeing your refund go down just mean you overpayed less in taxes throughout the year? I still feel like wayyy too many people think a tax refund is free money you get from the government at the end of the year. In some cases, their tax went down. In some cases their tax went up. In both cases the refund went down. And no one in the former case cares that they aren't in the latter case and treat situation the same. And I do explain this to them in entirety. Because I go line-by-line.

The "story" is based on an alleged friend of the alleged victim sharing an alleged screenshot of an alleged message. Big League Politics (which is run by ex-Breitbart people) didn't even both to talk to the alleged victim before running the story. Fairfax's denial doesn't read as the alleged victim coming forth, it's still the alleged friend trying to push it and exactly fits the lovely story ran by Big League Politics To pretend this is looking "very real" is simply false. Wait until any actual information comes out before panicking.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:Various media outlets including the Washington Post investigated the story for an extended period of time and couldn't find anything. It was found to not be credible by multiple news outlets investigating it for several months, like, if WaPo is not going to go forward with the story after investigating it for several months it likely is not credible. In the event that it is credible, then I will happily turn on Fairfax because you don't get to be in a position of power over people and be a sexual predator. Until that time I don't think this will come to anything outside of RWM.

Yeah, here's the thing about this and all the "I don't recall" - it's not a defense. If you think you might have dressed up in a KKK outfit, it means you are the kind of person who would dress up in a KKK outfit. I know for certain that I've never done so, for example.

I haven't seen any reports that media outlets other than the Washington Post have investigated the claim, where did you? Washinton Post also hasn't released anything impugning her claims they just didn't run a story, given that the accuser's story seems to be about a one time encounter with disputed consent what could they have uncovered. I'm not saying there isn't a possibility of exculpatory evidence, but "Washinton Post didn't run a story" is not that.

Gort posted:Under what circumstances would someone in the US get $5,000 dollars back after paying their taxes? It's non-standard deductions. Mortgage interest is a huge deduction, and depending on where you live, state and local taxes including property taxes are a huge deduction. You need to accurately provide that information to your employer so they take out the correct amount each week. If you don't provide that information, your weekly tax deduction is not going to assume non-standard deductions, so you won't have the right amount taken out, and most people who own a house don't know or care to provide it, so they get huge refunds. So like for me, I pay almost $10k in mortgage interest. I adjusted my withholdings after I bought my house; I pay like $50 less a week in taxes than before I bought my house. If I hadn't changed anything I would instead get a big refund at the end of the year. Where people are getting crushed are areas like where my parents live in NJ, which is a very high tax state, but in the past, those state and local taxes have been 100% deductible. My parents probably pay $10k a year in property taxes alone, so the $10k SALT limit is huge tax increase to them. There are lots of enclaves of upper middle class people in states like NJ and Connecticut that vote Republican and are about to absolutely eat poo poo and it's going to be glorious.

pumpinglemma posted:If it's real, then Fairfax is a complete and utter grade-A moron for invoking WaPo's decision not to run the story as exonerating evidence. That's just begging for an editorial response about how actually, no, they found the allegations pretty credible and were about 80% sure of them, but just not quite sure enough to run the story. Or (and this is absolute speculation) the woman saw how the story would be run, most likely a straight "he said, she said" and declined to be quoted for it thus making the story go away.
