Shadow Foreign Secretary @EmilyThornberry in conversation with @jonlansman at #Limmud

Warm applause. So much for “Trump supporting fanatics”. (That said, there are just one or two around mind...)
The room is ram-packed. Only seats left on the floor. Busier than both @LimmudGala & @notthegala combined.
“The Labour Party continues to be committed to a two states solution” to the Israel / Palestine conflict
“Is the Labour Party obsessed with Israel / Palestine?” Asks @jonlansman
“We left the situation unresolved and unfair” responds @EmilyThornberry.
“For the Jewish community, antisemitism has completely dominated the view of the Jewish community. How did this happen?” Asks @jonlansman
“Lazy and undisciplined thinking... On the far left there is a caricature of capitalism... vast expansion of the Party we have seen an increase in antisemites joining” says @EmilyThornberry
Q&A time... Brace for impact.
It’s like being at Labour Party conference as arms go up in the air. There’ll be some blow up parrots and placards soon.
Audiable groans from the audience as @EmilyThornberry suggests that accusations of antisemitism against Corbyn have emotionally clouded his ability to stay objective and respond to antisemitism within the Party. #limmud
Now on to #Brexit. More tricky territory than Corbyn...

Jewish Voice for Brexit smaller than the other crew. #limmud
Someone quotes these very words back to Emily “how can you serve in the shadow cabinet of someone by your own description is...”
Summarising the round of five questions “All of these are about antisemitism” says @jonlansman
“I sat on 100 cases during the summer, 80% of them were antisemitism” says Lansman #Limmud
*view of the Labour Party.
