    A different academic Timothy Snyder, the Levin Professor of History at Yale University, recently claimed Donald Trump, “bases his rhetoric on the fascist idea of ‘us and them,’ leads fascist chants at rallies, encourages his supporters to use violence, muses that Hillary Clinton should be assassinated, denigrates the intelligence of African Americans, associates migrants with criminality, runs an anti-Semitic advertisement, spreads the Nazi trope of Jews as ‘globalists,’ and endorses the anti-Semitic idea that Jewish financier George Soros is responsible for political opposition”.
    Not just Corbyn then?

    What confuses me about this sinkov: "Combining incident data based on police reporting with a 2012 survey on antisemitism carried out by the European Union’s Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA), this report tentatively compares the levels of anti-Semitic violence in different countries. The seven-country sample contains comparable data for France, UK, Germany and Sweden only. Among these countries, Jews’ exposure to anti-Semitic violence appears to have been highest in France, lower in Sweden and Germany, and lowest in the United Kingdom," is that the Jewish Labour Movement, and in particular Labour Jewish MPs: Louise Ellman, Fabian Hamilton, Ivan Lewis, Margaret Hodge, Ed Miliband, Luciana Berger, Alex Sobel and Ruth Smeeth can find it on every corner, even if anti-Semitism is "lowest in the United Kingdom" .

    Yes you do appear confused BT, you veer from claiming there is no anti-semitism in the Labour Party, to explaining the strenuous efforts Labour are making to eradicate this apparently non-existent anti-semitism in the Labour Party. There is quite clearly a problem with anti-semitism in the Labour Party, there is not a problem with anti-semitism amongst the UK population in general, although you lefties like to pretend there is. It's Labour's particular problem, not society's in general, and it's not going away is it, and we both know why that is really don't we ?

    No idea sinkov, but Berger has played the anti-Semitism card so often she can now validate jumping ship. Good riddance I say!
