Keir Starmer wishes Jews a happy Chanukah, and these are some of the responses on Facebook

Contrary to what a lot of people are saying, this issue hasn't just "gone away"
Also, I'm sick of the suggestion that Keir is kicking out all left-wing Jews

That's utter bullsh*t - there's plenty of left-wing/socialist Jews in Labour

There are Jews *leaving* (like I did in March) because they're sick of the racist and antisemitic factionalism there
There are socialist Jews and left-wing Jews that feel uneasy by sections of the Labour party, or may not trust Corbyn - deal with it

The gatekeeping of what it means to be a "leftist" Jew by many non-Jews seems to be whether or not they're a Corbyn stan - which is antisemitic
But these gatekeepers are only interested in a Jewish leftist if they align *exactly* with their political views and their idols - otherwise you can't trust (((them)))

Well you can all get f*cked - Chanukah celebrates Jews overcoming antisemites, and we'll overcome you
And the idea people are harassing Jews on Chanukah because they care about Palestinians is myth

If they cared about them, they wouldn't trivialise & weaponise their suffering to attack people wishing Jews a Happy Chanukah

It's antisemitic & undermines Palestinian liberation
