its all going to backfire when accusing corbyn of antisemitism ends up making labour more attractive to the tory/brexit base of hateful garbage people and leads to a solid lab majority when boris calls a ge (the bojeneral)

both parties are similarly right wing though

American Jews (broadly) as a community have a long history of being big into progressive causes and activism though.
I'd chalk it up to them living as a much larger and thus more visible, and thus more targeted group in the earlier days of mass immigration to the US. They became a tough community that both gained inherent sympathy for minority groups of sorts, and a cultural assertiveness.
Whereas my impression of British Jews is that they're a very small and not particularly noticeable demographic.

I think a key factor with American Jews versus the other white ethnics that came over to the US around 1900 and before is that while all those groups (Irish, Italian, Poles etc) eventually entered the mainstream white concept? Jews always had that one thing that kept them very distinctly separate. Not being Christian.

jonathan freedland's article about AOC reaffirms his position as one of the most cynically reactionary pieces of poo poo working in the uk media. extraordinary how easy makes it look, hiding all that poison behind his carefully erected facade of zone 2 blandness.

I seem to remember him actually speaking out against the attacks on Ed Milliband's dad back in the distant days of 2014 but he seems to have forgotten all about that now.

blairites, looking for any excuse to attack their own party after their coup hilariously failed, jumped on that and it's been a shitshow ever since

it started under miliband because he was pro-palestine. then it was quiet for a while because they tried to use everything else they could to attack corbyn which all failed miserably

“That sort of game of chicken works if the stakes are equal for both people,” he said. “The fact of the matter is, the EU recognise that no deal will hurt the UK far worse than the EU as a whole. ‘Give me what I want or I will shoot myself in the foot’ isn’t that compelling as a negotiating strategy.”
