Ok. Let's do a little hypothetical mind exercise here.

Imagine we say that Jeremy Corbyn was actually an antisemite.

That would mean all those who worked with him but then decided to "expose him" felt it was acceptable, until he was leader of the opposition.
That would include Margaret Hodge who seemed fine with Jeremy until he became leader, and those who felt his anti war opinions were a bit too extreme.

Those centrists who believe in the pragmatism of small changes over decades so as not to spoil the "great unwashed".
It would mean all those who decided collectively that he hated Jews did NOTHING and said NOTHING for decades,

But then, like a flipped light switch, all decided he was on par with Adolf Hitler.
I find it weird as a British Jew, how the right have taken the moral high ground when it comes to racism and specifically
the hatred of Jewish people.

It's so absurd to me that right wing nationalists would ever be trusted when it comes to deciding who is an antisemite.
I would suggest reading Hannah Arendt if you wish to develop an understanding of the antisemitism which led to the Holocaust.

Views in Germany were shared with those in the US and UK when it came to the distrust and hatred of Jewish people.
Jewish people are regarded as a threat.

Some sinister cult that "controlled every society".

Even now many of the conspiracy theories involving
aliens stemmed from the extreme depiction of Jews.
So I say this, if Jeremy Corbyn is indeed an antisemite.

Why was he ONLY collectively called out by the opposition, by the mainstream media and by certain MPs who then worked against him when
he opposed the @Conservatives ?
And why has antisemitism in @Conservatives @LibDems etc never been discussed when it is prevalent?

When did the fight against #Antisemitism become some tunnel vision attack on just the leader of an opposition party?
And what about far right groups who despise Jewish people using NAZI flags, and agree completely with Hitler?

What about US Christian groups that have very questionable views on Jewish people?

Why are these never put under the media microscope?

Why are these accepted?
There's antisemitism in all places, none is acceptable.

But without proper attention it will be free to flourish.

My point is, if everyone who opposed #JeremyCorbyn as leader of the opposition, claims it's b/c he's an antisemite.

Then they allowed it to flourish for decades.
What made specific people in politics and mainstream media all decide he's an antisemite?

What made them all disregard the antisemitism of other parties and politicians while attacking him?

How did allowing a racist ike #BorisJohnson to lead the country become a "safer option'?
I will say this again.

Every account on Twitter that pushes that Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite, has always been abusive toward me as a Jew.

They've always said antisemitic things to me.

They have always dismissed antisemitism in the @Conservatives or other parties
I think that those who cannot provide clear evidence of his antisemitism should be made to pay huge fines to food banks.

I think those accusers who worked with him for decades should be suspended for deciding to stay quiet, if they insist he's an antisemite.
I also think that Twitter accounts should be verified with one account per person and anyone accusing a person of anything without evidence gets an account suspension.

Twitter is a f*cking mess.

Politicians and news hacks using it as a dumping ground for smears and lies 24/7.
I believe people should be made accountable for their words and I am disgusted by the way Jewish people are being used like a stick to beat political opponents.

I am disgusted when a racist @Conservatives #Trump supporter calls me an "antisemite Jew hater."
I never went to pubs much b/c in the East End it was the breeding ground of newspaper obsessed dimwits.

Twitter is like a shit hole pub where Daily Mail loving racists feel empowered by the Holocaust, to use it as a weapon to attack anything and anyone that threatens them.
Twitter is the place of bots and trolls using the Holocaust as a smear without ANY recourse.

Twitter is a place where I can be persecuted and harassed freely by fake accounts created to protect the sustained
disorder of an oppressive society.
As a socialist Jew, I will freely accept that the right wing Israeli government does NOT represent Judaism or the politics of millions of Jewish people.

In the same way that @Conservatives abusing the vulnerable and wishing to starve kids, does not represent all British people.
