Labour’s Anti-Semitism Issues? Sorry, Not Our Problem.

[branford]

6. The rising antisemitism in Europe is not generally a problem coming from the right.

The worsening situation is largely a phenomenon arising from left-wing circles and the increasing Arab/Muslim immigrant population. The issues with Labour and Corbyn are just a small symptom of a much large European problem, and hardly its worst manifestation.

In fact, in some areas and groups, the non-neo-Nazi right (a rapidly expanding segment) has become far more sympathetic to both Israel and Jews in response to the problems and concerns of Muslim fundamentalist terrorism and lack of assimilation by related immigrant and religious populations, often including even second and third generation families. Politics and personal safety often make strange bedfellows.

You might wish or hope Zionism wasn't necessary in your perfect world, but reality, both historically and today, more than amply proves Jews are not safe, nor held to the same standards as everyone else.

Reading many of your posts often feels like you believe Israelis, and sometime Jews generally, should act completely opposite to their clear interests, often to the point of near or actual suicide, just so you and others can feel good about themselves.

Don't forget that "Never Again" is more than catchy or casual political slogan among Jews for a myriad of important reasons.
