RT locked Jewđź”’ The problem with Labour antisemitism was not that (some of) the right of the party criticised it, it's that the left of the party engaged in it.

So take your "weaponised" and fuck off.

Now I need to go away and calm down.
That was yer typical response to Owen Jones' show tonight. 94% of Jews didn't vote Labour in 2019. That's the facts right there.

I mean, yeah, keep chatting to the 6%, knock yourselves out, but don't pretend that nearly 19 out of 20 of us aren't excluded from your platforms.
Novara Media led the way. Got an offer, back in the early days, when it could have made a difference, to host a Jew who was hostile to Corbyn because of antisemitism, to talk about it honestly, openly and explain why so many Jews feared him. They refused to platform him.
They then went on to make many episodes about "Labour antisemitism" which they insisted on putting in quotation marks because they couldn't fucking help themselves. But never talking to Jews they fundamentally disagreed with. Ever.

Because really, they were scared.
Scared of going up against a Jew who had been tossed out of progressive society because they opposed being called a fascist for believing the idea of Israel was probably, on balance, after the Holocaust, an understandable impulse. That was their barometer for exclusion.
Under any other guise they would know this as a racist boycott. But they don't because it's Jews.

Tonight on Owen Jones' show, someone had the tumerity to "both-sides" Ken fucking Livingstone. A guy who spent 30 years mastering hitting Jews in the solar plexus.

Fuck that.
Because here's the rub: the "left" have convinced themselves they're powerless. Just listen to Corbyn, hostile forces ranged against us, limitless power, just us honest folk trying to give a voice to the voiceless.

Lads, you outnumber Jews by like more than 5-1. You have power.
Power which is used to exclude Jews who aren't considered ideologically sound. What does that say about you?

The left has the platforms. The hour long debates. Those "nuanced" conversations. Those antitidotes to the MSM.

What do Jews have?
A Jewish ex-Labour MP going up against JVL on Newsnight for 7 minutes? Is that what you think is power? Like, seriously???
Owen Jones will go up against an ultra-Conservative like Peter Hitchens but he'll never go up against a scum Jew who always voted Labour - but sacked it off because of antisemitism - like me.

What does that tell you? Be honest.
The day when I see a group of JLM activists taking on Novara/Owen Jones on how they sat there & watched a Jewish Labour member being racially abused in front of them, but didn't even notice, is the day when you can call bullshit on any of the above.

Until then, prob best you hold your tongue. Or even better just SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT JEWS.
Clip of a JEWISH Labour member being told that "one of his people literally took a bribe" on the BBC whilst Owen Jones and Ash Sarkar just sat there defending the leadership the morning after Panorama. Dunno, if it was me, I'd prob want to host him first. https://twitter.com/JoshuaGarfield/status/1149349214981369856?s=19
One of HIS people was Joan Ryan, not Jewish, who wasn't taking a bribe. So what've you got? Illegitimate finance, conspiracy, collective blame. I mean, what's more antisemitic? I HATE JEWS plastered on your forehead?

Nothing a "nuanced" discussion wouldn't solve I'm sure.
