Would a public renouncement of his ties to Hezbollah help Corbin answer the charges of antisemitism?

Corbin might be able to address his legacy by instead working with the Israeli founded political organization, Hamas.

You said that Corbyn referred to Hezbollah etc as his friends because he wanted to promote dialogue, therefore he would not be insulting. Dialogue involves two parties or more, so the same should apply to his comments about Israel. They clearly don't (the apartheid references etc), so the excuse that he used that language to further dialogue does not really add up. I believe that he called them his friends because he is sympathetic to their cause and is prepared to overlook the very real problems with their ideology and practices. As a Jew that does not endear him to me.

this is in bad faith :)

God help you if ever you're caught on these shores

A man's ambition must indeed be small
To write his name upon a shithouse wall
it's 2020, we've had the leaks, none of this requires assumption of character. We know for an absolute fact that Jewish people were subject to discrimination and victimisation by the original disciplinary panel, a collection of confirmed bigots who outright refused to investigate Ken Livingstone despite constant prompting, valuing their ability to talk poo poo about ken livingstone far higher than the safety and wellbeing of Jewish people in Britain.

And I do actually think it was pretty loving bad for Corbyn to wait over a year to let seamus milne come for them with a big axe. He was unable to recognise bad faith and so made hoped to let the situation resolve itself rather than using his enormous soft power to walk in a week after the first Livingstone complaint and tell everyone to start renewing their CVs. The flaw in his thought process wasn't "I'm an anti-racist so I can't be racist now", the flaw was "My party are anti-racist so they can't possibly be deliberately inciting racial hatred to stop me nationalising trains".

yeah hes tremendously effective, completely shutting off the left from electoralism at a time the country is taking a nosedive

meanwhile the tories are activating and whipping their far-right members into a frenzy.
at the channel the media and military are aiding the fascist grass-roots in hunting migrants, with the democratic peoples football lad alliance looking for boats with the airforce doing flyovers to support them.

also this whole time the tories have been scrapping all the public health services and spending eye watering amounts of money giving contracts to literally their family members to run our testing and tracing programs, which just didn't manifest at all after throwing £100,000,000,000 into the pockets of the same 3 foreign companies that gently caress up everything and the aforementioned family members.
this is how government has functioned for at least the past 10 years but they're still doing it in a pandemic and the media is having to try very hard not to notice, since their family members are also those family members of the government

the government recently passed a law allowing any government agency to commit any crimes whatsoever as long as it can be proven to be "in the national interest" or "in the interest of the economy", the new, thoroughly controlled, leader of labour abstained and fired a bunch of MPs from the opposition cabinet for voting against it

e: oh also the government has been talking about the new head of our media regulator being Paul Dacre, the insane far-right editor of the literal nazi newspaper, the Daily Mail. as well as many noises about crushing the BBC even as the BBC grows more and more craven, captured and obsequious.
theres also going to be a new far right news channel set up by ex BBC and media creatures.

i just love "australia-style deal" as a new term for "no deal". it's just :discourse:

the cherry on top:

the grauniad posted:

It would be more accurate to describe the outcome that would be secured by a no-deal as an Afghanistan-style arrangement, given the lack of formal cooperation in that trading relationship. This is because the EU does have a few agreements in place with Australia that it would not have with the UK in the event of a failure of the trade and security negotiations.

Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere cares
Choose looking up old flames, wishing you’d done it all differently
And choose watching history repeat itself
Choose your future
Choose reality TV, slut shaming, revenge porn
Choose a zero hour contract, a two hour journey to work
And choose the same for your kids, only worse, and smother the pain with an unknown dose of an unknown drug made in somebody’s kitchen
And then… take a deep breath
You’re an addict, so be addicted
Just be addicted to something else
Choose the ones you love
Choose your future
Choose Fife
