One of the most insane "But Jermy Bomblins!!!1" I think I've seen.
Antisemitic conspiracy theories suggesting Labour is being held back by Zionist interests can readily be found on social media, but none of this is true.
A visible reminder of this came when former leader Jeremy Corbyn got to his feet to challenge Lammy. Under Corbyn’s leadership, Labour became so immersed in antisemitism and so marginalised the Jewish community that the party has had to continue working hard to restore its reputation.
For this reason, Sir Keir and Mr Lammy have worked hard to support Israel’s right to defend itself in the wake of the horrific 7 October 2023 attacks by Hamas.
As attacks on Gaza by Israel have intensified, Labour has softly attempted to pressure Netanyahu’s government into restraint but never been willing to go the extra mile. Arguably, as Mr Malthouse and other MPs from five different political parties claimed in the chamber, they still have not gone far enough.
But the reality is that the urgency and horror of the situation now facing the people in Gaza is the tipping point where the imminent catastrophe outweighs the shame of Labour’s recent political past.
Reminder that the entire notion that Labour meaningfully became more antisemitic under Corbyn has never been proven. Worse, revealed internal emails showed Labour HQ employees deliberately tried to undermine Corbyn, including deliberately not dealing with complaints sent to the party, only for those same employees to then try and pretend they were whistleblowers to the BBC unveiling how Labour wasn't taking complaints seriously.
Reminder that the context for this is genocide, and you're response is to turn this into a session of huffing your own farts by making this about an abstract failure to change hearts and minds, as if Keir Starmer has simply not heard a good argument as to why genocide is bad, and as if literally being in government isn't an ideal situation with which to change minds by actually having a fucking spine and being able to put forward a case against Israel and against genocide, rather than defaulting to cowardice and defending Israel.
The ideals they're implementing are cutting disability benefits, shitting on trans people, backing genocide and reinforcing far right rhetoric and policies against immigration. They're political enemies using power for ends they prefer or are more comfortable with. not some stoner engaging in a debate about the meaning of life.
You genuinely are a fucking moron.
