Hi All,
So Jeremy Corbyn officially apologised. One wonders where this leaves the Chakrabti report (which told us Labour had no antisemitism problem) or even Ken Livingstone. But regardless of the apology - as worthless as a Zimbabwe quadrillion dollar bill, until converted into hard currency of action - what I found shocking wasn't Corbyn.
What was shocking was the reaction of so many Corbyn supporters , who seemed to be in denial and viciously- viciously attacked anyone online who challenged their own narrative. The narrative being Corbyn being as close to sainthood or a secular Jesus type figure as possible. Corbyn is elevated to a secular Jesus with the mob of "Zionists " calling him to be crucified in an entirely unjustified and show trial like manner. Rather than Jews being victims , it was now Corbyn and Labour who were victims of a conspiracy of Zionists. Why? Because the mission and destiny of Jesus- Corbyn threatens the Zionist dominion.
More than ever it seems Labour is dominated by a cult of personality and in this episode Jews (or as they prefer Zionists) were scheming Tories, who were trying to overthrow the beloved sainted "decent " great helmsman. This attitude is more dangerous than one individual. For a brief moment it was as if online waves of Torquemada , Himmler and Stalin were alive as the way us Jews see it , if you switch Zionist for Jew, you are getting back to those tyrants eras.
Moreover unlike other antisemitism, you get the self righteousness indignation of people accused of antisemitism. I'm anti Zionist, not antisemitic. You are libellous toward me. Evil Zionist. Zio Nazi. Etc. Oh and the classic "as a Jew" or "Jews I know hate Zionism". The tiny grouping of Jews on the fringes of the community are wheeled out to provide cover. They are the "good" Jew . The rest of us are the "bad" Jews.
You can ask. So why are you anti - to the point of dismantling - the world's only Jewish majority state under the guise of anti Zionism? Why is having a majority Arab Islamic state in its place acceptable, but Jews must never be afforded a state? You see Arab Palestinians , from the leadership downward , would never allow Jews to continue to live in their Palestine ,which contrary to popular belief isn't Gaza or the West Bank, but would be the entirely of the old mandate. They are always silent on where Israeli Jews would go and who would absorb them into their population.

Writing more than a century ago , Lord Acton wrote :
"The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities."
I will feel more secure as a minority if I didn't fear the main opposition as it is now, getting to power. I never felt that way with previous Labour or Conservative governments in waiting. As a minority I am feeling very insecure. When or if Labour come to power with the current leadership, how free will Britain be?
