A short thread on why Owen Jones, who had blocked EVERYONE who fights antisemitism in the Labour party bar the fluffies, is wrong, and the magnificent @RachelRileyRR is, well, magnificent.
First.
Search for him condemning Chris Williamson.

Second. His reaction to @jeremycorbyn laying a wreath for genocidal antisemites that murdered innocent Jews at the Olympic games.
Third. A horrible libellous blog was written, targeting the magnificent @RachelRileyRR and @TracyAnnO. This resulted in some of the worst abuse I've ever seen towards Jewish women speaking out about antisemitism in @UKLabour.
Here's Owen unblocking him for his trouble.

Fourth. Heres him arguing the @UKLabour was right not to listen to the Jewish community over adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Not only this, he dog whistles that it's to do with Palestinian voices, which *IS* rubbish.
IHRA definition does not restrict this.

Fifth. Here he is having a go about @margarethodge. She also had extreme antisemitic abuse from the goons for speaking out. Then they went after her daughter. There is nothing incorrect in what Margaret says.
So why does he disagree?

After all, here is his history. H/t @NudderingNudnik https://twitter.com/NudderingNudnik/status/987090024700182528?s=19

Plus well. This is just, well.... what can I say!!!
So Jones. You only mention antisemitism because you think it hurts Corbyn, not because it hurts Jews.
You are selective.
You are utterly shameful in your silence where it matter.
You do not EVER speak out about the stream of antisemites let back in the party.

We see you.
You've been called out.
Stop calling us right wing.
Stop saying it's all smears.
Stop thinking we don't see you.
Either fight antisemitism, or stop saying you do.
