He has got very unlucky there.

This must be what it feels like to be a goalkeeper conceding a goal to Ipswich Town.

Typical inaction from Labour on antisemitism. They must be trying to hide something.

Not sure what the process in allowing him back into the party would have involved, but clearly a divisive character and quite unhelpful timing, so it's obviously the right decision.

It's embarrassing, surely before letting him back and knowing what a sh!tstorm it would cause they would have vetted him and his public social media statements beforehand.
I have to say, politics aside he does look bloody good for 71 years old.

My post was tongue in cheek in reference to this tweet, which I don't believe to be antisemitic. BUT when I was recently hired for a new role I was informed that all of my social media accounts would be trawled. Thankfully I don' have any (thank god TWTD doesn't count!) but to think any political party wouldn't check for proper instances of racism etc seems unbelievable.

So many have been uncovered in recent years but, then again, maybe that's a good thing these barstewards are found out?

I used to post a lot of 'edgy' stuff when I first got onto social media. There's not a day goes by when I go on FB and look at the memories/on this day bit and there's some bit of total cringe I wrote in 09/10 and I think "bloody hell, why did I ever think posting THAT was a good idea"

It's getting worse. Before every derby game I post a picture of Delia on the pitch on Carrot Road doing the Let's Be Having You but the microphone has been replaced by a massive dildo so it looks like she's sucking a big old cock. I didn't make the image but I post that twice a year before we play the scum and it usually get a few laughs. It's become a tradition. Before the last one I shared it to an ITFC supporters site who loved it but Facebook took it down and I got suspended for sharing material with "expicit sexual content"

No, 'demanding' that Jewish people speak out against Israel is anti-Semitic.

But yes, lots of criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism, dressed up. I agree.

Yeah I've noticed less dildo / cock visual jokes on Facebook recently. Will cancel account soon if things don't pick up.

For these bleats about supposed anti antisemitism nothing is ever put out as evidence - instead we get complaints that Labour members have spoken out against Israel.

As I've just said on another thread, many Jewish people already do, and have been doing so for decades anyway.

I imagine the criticism is that if Jewish people around the world don't have Israeli nationality, it's just another conflation of being British & of Jewish heritage, French & of Jewish heritage etc - with unacceptable Israeli policies/politics.

Hatton always was a loon though.

This is where it gets complicated. On the face of it being Jewish in say the UK or France has nothing to do with what's happening in Israel. Certainly, nobody's Jewishness should imply anything for that individual because, as you rightly say, many are already some of the fiercest critics of Israel and its policies.

But Israel reaches out to all the diaspora Jews and says that they are part of the extended Jewish state. And 8 out of 10 Jews themselves express an affinity for Israel.

So imagine if apartheid South Africa was reaching out to whites around the world and 8 out of 10 whites outside expressed an affinity for South Africa ... would it be racist to suggest that generally white people outside of South Africa should do more to condemn apartheid?

I know it's not a perfect analogy but the principle is surely the same. But this is the tightrope you walk when criticizing Israel and the pro-Israel or even tacit support coming from the rest of the world. However, in the current atmosphere, and as Hatton isn't making it clear as a much more general point about the existing connection between the Jewish population worldwide and Israel, then it's not surprising that this isn't going to be tolerated.

I fully agree with the posts of yours I have read on this subject over the last few weeks. And while it goes without saying that there'll be people who hold antisemitic and racist views in any sizeable group, every opportunity is being taken to wield the antisemitism stick at Corbyn's leadership for political reasons. Like you, I have no time for racists or hatred of any stripe.

Sadly, this witch-hunt runs the risk of manifesting real anti-semitism into existence and nobody benefits from that except (perhaps) the very people who are digging for evidence of antisemitism for political gain.

I think this is a very dangerous strategy. But it sure as hell is effective.

There'll probably be a handful of forum members who'll interpret this post as antisemitic but that will prove the point that any defence or sympathy shown towards those critical of the state of Israel run the risk of being smeared with accusations of antisemitism themselves.
