This antisemitism is easy isn't it! 14:50 - Jan 13 with 3799 views | BanksterDebtSlave | I wonder which definition she fell foul of? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/04/emma-watson-pro-palestinian-post-s "Emma Watson has been accused of antisemitism by Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations after she posted a message of support for the Palestinian cause. Watson, best known for playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, posted an image on Instagram showing a photograph of a pro-Palestinian protest with the banner “Solidarity is a Verb” written across it. It was accompanied with a quote about the meaning of solidarity from the intersectional feminist scholar Sara Ahmed. While the post elicited widespread support from Palestinian activists, it drew strong criticism from Israeli officials. The most combative was Danny Danon, who formerly held the posts of science minister in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and Israeli ambassador to the United Nations. Sharing Watson’s post on Twitter, Dannon said: “10 points from Gryffindor for being an antisemite.” https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jan/13/hollywood-stars-back-emma-watson-af ....consider the term weaponised!! |  |

So why hasn’t he been thrown out of the Labour Party? Starmer not taking AS seriously enough? This is such lazy, tired rubbish. You don’t even have the energy to believe it. |  |

You mean how you have “boycott Israel” messages, but never “boycott China” ( for their treatment of Uyghur Muslims)? |  | |  |

Wait a minute. Who’s supporting the Chinese treatment of the Uyghurs? Or the Tibetans or any other minority? I’d say it’s even become a cause celebre in the West and already part of state diplomacy and trade negotiations. Meanwhile the far more well-documented and longer occupation and oppression of Palestinians is effectively being sanctioned by our government. Imagine if apartheid in South Africa was still going and people brought in “What about the Uyghurs?” Let’s stick to principles of right and wrong. |  |

This antisemitism is easy isn't it! on 16:04 - Jan 13 by Darth_Koont | Sure. But not without evidence. A lot of white supremacists are very pro-Israel. But it would be wrong of me to say support for Israel raises a flag. |
You’re probably right, but on the other hand there are also lots of far right supremacists who are antisemitic to their bones. |  | |  |

This antisemitism is easy isn't it! on 19:28 - Jan 13 by BlueBadger | I think Glassers is trying suggest that we should point out when the Israeli government figures are being dicks by pulling sh1t like this AND when people are being openly antisemitic by saying things like 'they don’t understand English irony either'. It's not that hard. [Post edited 13 Jan 2022 19:33]

Oh absolutely. Being anti-semitic is seemingly no barrier to being pro-Israel and even friendly with the very right-wing Israeli government. |  |

Of course. That’s hate speech, as offensive as it is ridiculous too. |  |

All you've said is Roger Waters has plenty to say. What's your point? |  |

I'm amazed that no-one has set the record straight on this over the last 24 hours. Starmer has "thrown" Corbyn out of the Parliamentary Labour Party over his failure to tackle anti-semitism. He is suspended by the PLP. That's the bit of the Labour Party that Starmer has direct control over. Corbyn is therefore technically an Independent Labour MP currently, and there are rumours circulating that he is going to set up his own Party: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/labour/2022/01/could-jeremy-corbyn-win-an- |  | |  |

Waters definitely has a point. But I clearly remember you saying that the Israel lobby was just doing what lobbies do. Only with the threat of being called an antisemite if you didn’t agree. |  |
