Could do without both the neocon fetishising of Israel and the Corbynite demonisation of Israel, if we’re honest. Jews get caught in the middle either way. (No. That’s not conflation, antisemitic dullards).

Shut up Corbynists. There was only a by-election in #Hartlepool in the first place because your guy had to resign over #metoo allegations.

[Jewish Voice for Northern Independence @J4NIP]

From the Wear to the Tees!
Hartlepool will be free!

Sorry to hear that notorious antisemite Anthony Greenstein is in trouble with the law. Hopefully you’ll be able to trade dildos for protection inside, Tony.

We are old enough to remember when the Left was interested in class rather than somewhat random pop-culture divisions imposed by marketeers.

@Daniel_Sugarman Judith Wanga is an antisemite. She was reported to @UKLabour and let off by @jeremycorbyn. I’m sure @stephenkb has dealt with worse people than this but our sympathies anyway.

Jude is one of the nastiest people on social media, she's been permanently banned from Twitter at least once but keeps popping back up again. She and her gang are on friendly terms with some blue tick Corbynites, too.

[Twelve Scouts @TwelveScouts]

information, bullying Jews, forcing out non-Corbynite MPs, using the membership surge to takeover CLPs & conference, appointing a crony to the Lords in return for whitewashing antisemitism, de facto opting-out of the Brexit referendum. Yes - Corbynism had no real power in Labour.

[Twelve Scouts @TwelveScouts]

Apart from filling the Leader’s office & Party HQ with family & friends, getting all the money they needed from the biggest unions, writing two General Election manifestos, placing more family & friends in safe seats, using Outriders to attack opponents with private/privileged

[Justin Schlosberg @jrschlosberg]

The left were never really 'in power' within Labour under Corbyn. Real political power is always much more structural and less visible than the leadership.

Just like Democrats in the US, Labour has long been the party of vested interests first and foremost.

Nigel Farage announcing his retirement from politics.

[Victoria Freeman @v_j_freeman]

Thinking of how McDonnell conned so many people into believing he was an honest broker on antisemitism

[Twelve Scouts @TwelveScouts]

@MatzoBalling The barrister who pops up on various accounts as “Bane”. Once a drinking buddy of Jones. Now sobs about Jones having dropped him.

[Twelve Scouts @TwelveScouts]

Owen Jones has always defended Corbynism’s worst antisemites and acts of antisemitism (see Walker, Start, The Wreath to begin with) before having to shut up in shame. Amoeba learn faster and have more self-awareness.

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

Look, we’ve talked a lot over the last few years about how the Corbynites were absolutely fine with antisemitism, but I’m not sure we’ve talked enough about how some of them are genuinely evil human beings.

[Twelve Scouts @TwelveScouts]

It’s because first she has internalised the antisemites’ view of Jews as responsible for problems. And second identified a niche for herself as the “better” Jew who confirms the problem with the rest of us.

[Twelve Scouts @TwelveScouts]

The opposite was true in the case of Labour antisemitism. The highly privileged like Rivkah could blithely throw their lot in with their fellow middle class Corbynites, safe that they were the “right” kind of Jew for them. The rest of us were put in an excruciating dilemma.

[Rivkah Brown @rivkahbrown]

Rereading Asad Haider's Mistaken Identity recently, I was struck by this bit: "single-issue political frameworks ... end up centering the most privileged members of a group, marginalizing those whose identities exposed them to other forms of subordination."

[Twelve Scouts @TwelveScouts]

The Jewish abandonment of Labour under Corbynism was, in statistical terms, electorally significant. But it was a microcosm of what voters did all over the country. So why does Rivkah centre Jews in her tale of betraying those who needed a Not-Tory government? We all know why.
