Why did nobody complain about A/S in the labour party when it was more common among members, ie before 2015? Why did all of the media begin their concerted attack on him before he had won the leadership race and before there had been any allegations of A/S (that was a tactic that came later)?'So who do you believe, the BoD right wing Jews who have nothing to do with Labour or the left wing jews some of whom joined the party before Starmer was born'......
It's not right wing or left wing Jews. Its just jewish people who are at the receiving end of anti semitism. Racism doesn't differentiate based on the victims political persuasion.
Even if it did there are plenty, and easily the majority of Labour supporting or left learning jewish people, for whom the anti semitism was a first hand experience in online labour groups, at CLP level, conference etc. For example in 2019 the Jewish Labour movement had 2500 members. This is a an affiliated Labour group attacked by the hard left as having no place in the party due to it supporting Israels right to exist.
This peculiar victim blaming would only happen with anti Jewish racism because the perpetrators either don't recognise or understand anti semitism when they see it, willfully ignore it or just think it isn't even a thing as jewish people are privileged due to their largely white European background so can cope with a bit of anti semitism......In itself of course a classic left wing anti semitic trope.
Replace jewish with black or muslim people and all left wing liberal minded people would be up in arms and fully behind a zero tolerance approach. There'd be no looking for excuses, blaming the victims, telling the victims its all made up and so on........
Fortunately it's over. The irony of it all is that it took anti semitism in the party to bring together jewish people, practising and secular, of all walks of life(and political persuasions) across the country together in a reaffirmation of who they are and all that goes with it. For that at least they are grateful.
It was his politics they didn't like and you were all duped by this character assassination.
