Well, we knew that. It's called Momentum.

and today;
"Jeremy Corbyn is facing fresh questions over his pledge to stamp out anti-Semitism in Labour after an activist accused of repeatedly publishing anti-Semitic tropes was selected as one of the party’s candidates in next month’s council elections.

The Sunday Telegraph can disclose that Sameh Habeeb, who founded and edited The Palestine Telegraph, a journal criticised for publishing conspiracy theories about Jews, is being put forward as a Labour council candidate in Northwood, north-west London.

The disclosure comes as the Labour Party faces a barrage of questions of its response to anti-Semitism."

Being a member of a Facebook group, or any forum (including AB) does not mean you support every comment made by every member. There are many comments on here that I would be embarrassed to be associated with.

The activist accused of publishing anti simitic Tropes was a photo journalist who live in Gaza. He ran a blog, which became an on-line newspaper called ‘The Palestinian Telegraph’. The paper is clearly anti Israel, but that does not mean it is anti simitic. It ran a story about the IDF harvesting organs, which was poorly researched, and it ran a piece about Israel being a terrorist threat. While that argument was sound, the fact that it was written by the leader of the KKK didn’t help the Palestinian cause.

G. //The paper is clearly anti Israel, but that does not mean it is anti simitic.//

Those rose-coloured glasses of yours, never come off, do they?

Now I know I'm going to sound silly, but what the hell is a Trope? Is it the same as a meme?

[Khandro]

Jack; for 'trope' read tripe.

[Jackdaw33]

Now that makes sense.

"The paper is clearly anti Israel, but that does not mean it is anti simitic." - yeah right oh gromit! I'm anti Wasp nest but I love wasps! PMSL. Only on planet Gromit can you want Israel wiped off the map and not be anti semitic!

[Jackdaw33]

I wonder if Gromit is for real.

[mushroom25]

a trope is something akin to a literary metaphor. in the case of anti-Semitism, an example could be the blood libel.

Never has silence been more stunning than at the end of this short video;

Anyway all this 'nasty party' label is subjective.

Labourites think Torys are the nasty party because Tories basically want people to take responsibility for themselves and their won lives with as little help as possible (because they are supporting themselves) from central government and tax payers £.

Tories think Labour is the nasty party because they actually appear nasty but smile so sweetly when they are you have difficulty spotting it.

You only have to look at Gullivers opening line on her thread to see the above analogy played out in the open.

Algeria, where are your Jews?

When Algeria gained Independence from France, its Jews were granted French citizenship and 70,000 moved to France, and the rest to Israel. A small number remained until the 1990 civil war, and they too left.

I wonder why?
