Vice has insinuated that @jkenney , leader of the Alberta Conservative Party, is tainted by anti-Semitism. This beyond-bizarre move is at least novel, since usually Jason's extremist opponents attack him as offensively over friendly to Jews. Some examples ...

Bad luck for English learners is that printing came along to freeze orthography in the midst of a revolution in pronunciation. So English got stuck forever with "knife," "night," "through" etc

Here's a handy video compilation of President Trump's birther comments washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Here's Donald Trump calling for a "total and complete" ban on Muslim entry into the United States, based on scurrilously false polling that alleged that 25% of US Muslims endorsed violence against the United States nbcnews.com/video/trump-ca…
President Trump has thoughts on the causes of violent crime

This Buzzfeed business is a perfect example of how the requirement of criminal law blind us to the truths we most need to absorb and deal with ... 1/x
Through 2015-2016, Trump was seeking a giant payday from Putin at the exact same time he was running for president of the United States. Trump and his surrogates . repeatedly lied about this fact.
One of those lies about the Trump-Putin business relationship was told to Congress by Michael Cohen. BuzzFeed reported that it had seen evidence that Trump personally counseled this lie. That report has now been disputed by the Special Counsel Office.

In today’s Telegraph: Labour general secretary in stand-off with MPs over anti-Semitism.

I’ve also been passed a dossier revealing at least 20 party members accused of anti-Semitism have been allowed to remain in party after investigation since Nov.

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
They include a member who levelled abuse at John Mann and Tom Watson after they spoke out against anti-Semitism.

She was given a formal warning.

Another relates to activist who shared a post accusing Jewish MP Ruth Smeeth of being a US spy.

That resulted in no action at all.
Others have shared Rothschilds conspiracy theories, images and posts comparing Israel to the Nazis and the SS.

Another has been reinstated after sharing an image of a Job Centre sign with the words “arbeit macht frei”.

The slogan still hangs at the gates of Auschwitz.

American Jews and Israeli Jews Are Headed for a Messy Breakup nyti.ms/2RxXOCC
Israeli Jews believe deeply that President Trump recognizes their existential threats.
In scuttling the Obama-era Iran nuclear deal, which many Israelis saw as imperiling their security, in moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem... they see a president of the United States acting to save their lives.

Sometimes you see an idea so utterly stupid & devoid of logic it can only come from government

According to this Conservative rabble giving criminals free access to contact their associates & criminal comrades will "cut crime" 🙄

Every time I believe I could not honestly think worse of the Conservative Party I'm mistaken

They really are beyond parody at this point

Under the corrupt left wing rabble that is the current Conservative Party, who mandated 0,7% of GDP had to be spent on Foreign Aid, we are now giving rich countries "aid"

A sweeping CNN survey found that a quarter of Europeans are anti-Semitic, and that they blame Jews for anti-Semitism. But that's just half the story, and the other half is actually worse. My latest: tabletmag.com/scroll/275806/…
"In 1945, following the Holocaust, there were 3.2 million Jews in Europe. In 2010, there were 1.4 million." The slow motion erosion of Jewish life and populations in Europe has been happening right in front of us for decades.
"Nearly 40% of European Jews said they feared to openly identify as Jewish 'all the time' or 'frequently,' including 60% of Swedish Jews, 51% of French Jews, and 45% of Belgian Jews...

In other words, anti-Semitism has had a massive chilling effect on Jewish life in Europe."

The whataboutists on the left may be right, the right may have issues with anti-semitism, but lets think that through....
1 - That mean naff all to someone on the left till their own house is in order. NAFF ALL! "We are only as bad as the BNP" is hardly a defence is it? When you are constantly claiming the moral high ground try actually being morally better yeah?
2 - Now I may have missed it but I don't remember May sitting by silent while one of her MPs was racially abused in front of her, perhaps someone can show me that?
