I’m hesitant, usually, to get involved in discussions on religious hatred, I am not religious. I greatly admire people who practice their religion in good faith and will defend them if I possibly can.

I generally have very little time for any religion that bullies, kills, traduces, oppresses or denigrates anyone else. Loathe is not too strong a word. Similarly, Governments who carry out atrocities in the name of a religion, or do business over dead bodies in order to make a buck will never find a big enough rock to crawl under.  I’m not sure the internet is big enough for me to have the room to express my disgust at the likes of May, Fox, IDS and rest at their fellating of the KSA regime. Christians and Muslims getting together to have a kill-fest in Yemen, ffs.

The current “outcry” over Antisemitism in the Labour party is a strange thing.  Jeremy Corbyn is being vilified as an arch hater of Jews. When you look at his record and that of his family on their support of Jews, the very idea that this has any traction at all seems laughable.

When you dig a little deeper, a pattern emerges that seems to spring from something else he does, quite unashamedly. Support Palestine.  The faction of the Labour party MP’s led by the likes of Tom Watson, Margaret Hodge et al, are very involved in a group called “Labour Friends of Israel”. And by Israel they actually mean the Israeli Government. What are the Israeli Government doing? Ask a Palestinian.  No, that doesn’t mean Hamas get’s a free pass. They are arseholes as well, but how will you move forward? Israel, being better resourced and better able to protect itself, should be showing a lead. They never will under Netanyahu and many right-wing Jews are very happy indeed with that.

While Israel will even arm nazi groups abroad and Tom Watson will happily accept money from the descendants of Oswald Mosley  then you surely have to ask what their agenda is.  For me, if they want to support these people, jog on, but while people in this country are dying because of the Tories and LibDems and you purport to be on their side,  you are betraying them for blood money and that is unconscionable.

This whole project to stop a Labour Government under Corbyn stinks of hypocrisy and if the likes of me can see it, it must be pretty fucking obvious.

Some people who articulates the whole sorry mess far better than me are Jonathan Ofir and Independent Jewish Voices. To name but two…
