Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, Ms Abbott said: "It's something of a smear against ordinary party members, it is, it is a smear to say the Labour party has a problem with antisemitism.

quote:

Shortly after, Mr McCluskey, the General Secretary of Unite and Labour's biggest donor, said Mr Corbyn was the victim of "a cynical attempt to manipulate antisemitism for political aims".

"The idea that there is an antisemitic crisis within the Labour Party is absolutely offensive but it is being used in order to challenge Jeremy Corbyn," he told Pienaar's Politics on BBC Radio 5 Live.

"Once the mood music of antisemitism dies down, then next week and the week after there will be another subject. It is an issue that comes up because somebody says something stupid and then immediately it becomes a crisis."

The row had been "got up by the right-wing press aided and abetted by Labour MPs" and party grandees who "get out of their wheelchair and toss a few hand grenades in", he said.

There never was a crisis you disingenuous turd there were a couple of assholes that Corbyn tried to address and was cock blocked by right leaning Labour MPs.

Do you seriously believe that Corbyn spearheaded some antisemitic movement within Labour so strongly that it instantly became the pinnacle of importance for inter-party problems?

Or was it a smear that was surprisingly effective with the public so the media jumped on it to stop left populism from taking over the government?

There were a lot of assholes about which very little was done because it wasn’t seen as important. OF COURSE it was weaponised - anything useful will be - but that isn’t proof that it was invented or a smear.

I have never said that he spearheaded an AS movement. It’s more about a failure to recognise and address it, which allowed it to spread. There was/is a blind spot to leftist AS.

Even JC himself, Murphy, McDonnell etc now recognise that there was a problem (unlike many posters here).

Everyone who keeps repeating that it was just a smear is making the problem worse. It’s delusional. Read the personal testimonies.

In May 2019, Labour National Executive Committee member Jon Lansman wrote that leaked emails "...suggest that former compliance unit officials from the Labour right may have delayed action on some of the most extreme and high-profile antisemitism cases, including Holocaust denial, allowing a backlog of cases to build up that would damage the party and Jeremy's leadership." He also accused former General Secretary Iain McNicol and his team of delaying action on handling antisemitism cases, and allowing a backlog of cases to build up that would damage the party and Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.[276]

You mean personal testimonies that came from like 3 people submitting hundreds of complaints to make it seem like a widespread problem?

What goal do you think you’re accomplishing by reinforcing the narrative that antisemitism was a problem under Corbyn? Do you think it’s going to help address any contemporary antisemitism happening? Will it prevent any bigotry in the future?

Or is the only lasting effect going to be permanently tainting the public image of one of the only world leaders who is actually a decent person advocating good policies?

It’s interesting that the report says that the complaints committee had a backlog that wasn’t being resolved quickly enough. That was because one nutjob was responsible for half of the received complaints.

Some of the complaints were not about Party members or affiliates, had no connection to anti-semitism, and were frequently duplicates when he didn’t get the result he wanted.

half of this poo poo was based off reports by one nutcase, and the slowdown in dealing with poo poo was caused by "Italian strike" by the Blairite 5th column.

So lack of complete control of the NEC prevented him from seeing that AS was a problem, and that Jews were being harassed and driven out?


You mean involved in cases other than Ken L., I take it? There were recommendations for how to handle complaints going back to I think 2016 which were not implemented. There was a clear procedure for things like sexism/sexual harassment, but there was not the will to do the same for AS. I ascribe most of this loving mess to incompetence, stubbornness and ignorance instead of AS on behalf of Corbyn and leadership. There was so much more that they could have done, and much sooner, HAD THEY WANTED TO. They didn't. They allowed this to fester and become a running sore. Apart from the moral failings this entails, it's simply bad politics.

Saint Jeremy bollocks is only adding to the suggestion that you are in fact a massive loving wallopper and utterly disingenuous. Funny that.

Straight up, I agree. There was not in 2016 & is not today a crisis in the Labour Party about antisemitism unless you're going to be so pedantic that a handful of cases in a party of 500,000 is a crisis, in which case gently caress off you disingenuous twat. And yes, Corbyn is right in that the size of antisemitism inside the Labour Party has been grossly exaggerated by disingenuous fuckwits who at the time were throwing any old poo poo at the wall to see what stuck, & then when they found that the antisemitism one was it they stuck too it relentlessly.

Antisemitism is lovely. One antisemite in the Labour is too many. That does not mean Labour had a loving crisis of antisemitism.

it also like... didn't ignore jewish abuse while still handling sexism, it ignored all abuse. there was a big report on this and how BAME were getting completely hosed over too

its coz the party structure itself was poo poo and that only became an issue when it could be weaponised against the leftwing leader and it was accusations of antisemitism because they would stick to corbyn because of his palestinian connections. noteably nobody accused labour of being racist against black people because nobody cares about black people in the UK, if corbyn was racist against black people that would be good, it would make him pro-heritage and pro-statue.

noteably nobody really even cares about the systemic failures because the systems were being run by the "right sort" and that'd muddy the issue which is corbyn bad

it still was poo poo but you've gotta be real dumb or real committed to being dumb to think labour ignored antisemitism because of corbyn.
the corbyn leadership inherited a total hosed up mess, i dont think anybody had appreciated how similarly hosed up the processes within labour are to how hosed up our processes of government are.
this looks bad for corbyn though cause hes been in the party for loving decades and should have known
