Alleged antisemitism in the Labour party is making the news headlines here.
Is it real?
Is it an way of attacking the Labour party ahead of elections?
Is it an way of attacking Jeremy Corbyn ahead of elections?
Bearing in mind that the US has AIPAC as a strong lobbying group, are Jewish/Israeli lobbying groups within the parties seeking to gain control?
BUT
What is the "Semitism" they/we are supposed to be anti?
Is criticism of the activities of the state of Israel antisemitic?
Other far more serious (?) news has been displaced by what I consider to be an invented news story:
Is it an way of distracting the news media away from the activities of Israel against Gaza protesters?
The poisoning of 2 Russians & a policeman - by Russians, or by a false flag operator from the nearby chemical weapon facility?
The British Foreign Secretary accepting a donation of £160,000 for the Tory party in return for a game of tennis? And other donations to the Tories from ex-pat Russian financiers?
The Facebook/Cambridge Analytica scandal that appears to have influenced election results, including Trump & Brexit?
The potentially disastrous Brexit negotiations by an incompetent Tory government?.
Doesn't excuse the Israelis shooting them dead or using chemical weapons on them. I seem to have missed the bit where May, Macron and Trump bombed the Israeli chemical weapons facilities though.
None of which excuses the use of chemical weapons
Really? Why have we just bombed Syria then and not Israel?The West stands together against chemical weapons.
I will say again: even if true, that doesn't justify the use of chemical weapons against Palestinian civilians by the Israeli military.Hamas has a program in Gaza that pays people for getting wounded or killed by Israel. If you get shot, you get $200. If you get badly hurt, you get $500, and if you get killed, your family gets $3000.
Hamas also has order people off the streets and shoots anyone out and about during a curfew. This forces people to stay in buildings about to be bombed.

It's not an either/ or: Jews and Arabs should be free to live where they want. I'm neither pro-Hamas or pro-Israel but i am for justice and equity. Given that Israel.has used white phosphorous against civilians, they should be held to the same standard as Syria on the issue.
And I agree that we should never have become involved in the area.
More Whataboutism: you still haven't addressed the issue of Israeli use of illegal chemical weapons.
