Jewish Chronicle aren’t holding back this morning on 08:59 - Nov 7 by ZedRodgers
They've been all out against him for a while.
As far as I know it's not possible to take a newspaper to court for suggesting people don't vote for somebody. Wording is always "poll says British Jews believe Corbyn to be..." etc.
It’s not just the JC though is it? All three main Jewish papers are “all out against him”.

I wonder why? Could they be reflecting the belief amongst nearly 90% of British Jews who believe Corbyn to be an antisemite. Or the near 50% of British Jews who have said they would consider leaving the U.K. if Corbyn is elected PM!

A fine morning Mr. Foot.
I checked into an Airbnb in Penzance on Monday to focus on my writing. The thought of applying to stand for Labour in Bassetlaw was distracting me though, so I've nipped out to a welcoming but distinctly average cafe for a breakfast burrito.
A breakfast burrito?
Suasage, rice, black beans and hot sauce? I'd rather a sausage sando!

If I thought the problem was 300 times greater than it is (as amplified by you and your ilk) then of course the accusation that Corbyn is an antisemite and creating a safe space for antisemites would be more than credible.
But of course it isn't. The shameless misrepresentation of the facts by people with a political axe to grind is utterly disgraceful.

Hello GB.
Thanks for your response, I've missed you. I was worried you had muted me again after you didn't take up my challenge to you of explaining how 20 or so Labour MPs standing down at this election was evidence of the party being lost to extremists, when nearly double that number stood down before the 2015 election. Around 100 Labour MPs stood down before the 2010 election by the way. Brown's Stalinist purge.
Anyway, I wonder if the countless British Jews who support Corbyn took part in the poll. I would think not, seeing as they don't get listened to. The idea that Jeremy Corbyn is an existential threat to Jews, as you have suggested before, doesn't seem to be based on any evidence whatsoever.
Rabbi Romain may have the opinion that Corbyn would "harm Jewish way of life", but his just one single voice being projected as the voice of an entire community. You can's say in good faith that he speaks for all British Jews. The justification for the headline seems to be that Corbyn "could introduce legislation that restricts Jewish life" - What kind of baseless nonsense is that, really?
No, not at the moment

Just finished reading a book on the Stockholm syndrome, started off very poorly but great ending.
"Forgive my crippled head Our revolution's dead They've gambled all our pride They want money instead They've gone and speared my side I think they want me dead."
"They break our legs and tell us to be grateful when they offer us crutches."

This is what I'm wondering too. What hardline anti-Jewish legislation is the Labour Party set to introduce? And in what ways would the average Jewish person be negatively affected by a Corbyn government?

you probably don't know about this, but apparently the labour party is subject to a full investigation by the ehrc for institutional anti-semitism. the first party ever to be subject to such an investigation. the investigation was started following an initial review which found evidence of a large number of complaints of anti-semitism without there being adequate procedures or actions to respond to those complaints. hence the decision to carry our a full investigation of these institutional failings that have enabled anti-semitism to persist.
clearly either you think that a full ehrc investigation is an irrelevance or you simply hadn't heard about it. if so i'm glad to have made you aware.
The investigation that hasn't been concluded? Yes, I'm aware of that. I asked for evidence that Corbyn had created a welcoming space for anti-semites. You've not been able to provide anything.
No party has done more to combat anti-semitism in the last three years than Labour. In 2015, a YouGov poll (this one goes out to you GB, you big poll-lover) asked the question "do you agree that Jews chase money more than other people". 22% of Labour-voting respondents agreed. 31% of Conservative-voting respondents agreed.
In late-2017, YouGov ran the same poll. 14% of Labour-voting respondents agreed to the same statement, nearly half the previous number, whereas the Tories were still flying high at 27%. Work that one out.
EDIT: Loads of embarrassing typos. Must do better.

But what about those people who don't want your new restrictions? Those that disagree with you and have their own convictions? You say they've got it wrong because they don't agree with you So when the revolution comes you'll have to run them through You say that revolution will bring freedom for us all Well freedom just ain't freedom when your back's against the wall

You think you read somewhere? Do you have a link to this as a direct quote.
Pollard has also written for the Guardian but you seem to have left that off your list of publications he has written for.
I have to ask, would you attempt to discredit any other member of our BAME community who was highlighting the racism their community is on the end of?
Here’s the thing GB.
The very man you’re defending, Stephen Pollard, has himself attempted to discredit the BAME community’s fight against racism. He’s a right wing idiot.
When the CST revealed that there had been 892 antisemitic incidents in the fist half og 2019, this was Pollard’s response:
“…the cause of this ongoing record increase in antisemitism is no mystery. It can be summed up in two words: Jeremy Corbyn… by any objective analysis of contemporary British antisemitism, Mr Corbyn must be seen as the instigator… These CST figures are Jeremy Corbyn’s legacy. They are the legacy of the most dangerous racist in British politics – a man whose toxic views and behaviour pose a far greater threat to ethnic minorities than the National Front or the BNP ever managed.”
Apart from the fact that the majority of these incidents were from nationalist fascist types, how on god’s green earth would Pollard know that Jeremy Corbyn poses a greater threat to ethnic minorities than the NF or BNP. This is the editor of the newspaper you are promoting as a voice of concern in a marginalised community. Have a long hard think about that.
The Chronicle are well known for having to correct and payout for false claims of antisemitism or ‘terror supporting’. Some examples, including your go-to paper of credibility, The Guardian:

The recognition of Palestine as a full state as part of the United Nations?
