@BarryGardiner

Mazel tov @BarryGardiner Your interview with Sophie Ridge is cited on Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party forum as evidence that people like me (ex-Labour Jews & friends) are exaggerating the problem of #LabourAntisemitism.

Mr Tashvishi's posts are always printable and politely expressed but this is the general mood on the forum. Following the example of George Galloway, they liken us to Goebbels.

@BarryGardiner

Like you, @BarryGardiner, they haven't any time for @theindgroup &, being pro-Corbyn, they want them to face by-elections, as you see here.

Veteran members.

@barrygardiner

Interviews @barrygardiner has given since his moving speech in the HoC debate ensure that he is not yet persona non with the folk of the forum,

@BarryGardiner

Lastly, because I don't think threads should be of a Shaun Lawson amplitude, this tweet conveys that @BarryGardiner is still seen as Corbyn's ally against people like me.

PS as I always see something more when I think I've finished, this is what you're facilitating, @BarryGardiner. Look behind you. Oh yes they are.

1/ I'm doing a short thread called 'Corbynists talk about Keir Starmer's wife.' Why? Because these people who deny antisemitism have no idea how to recognize it.

2/ From another Corbynist forum.

1/ Asa Winstanley of Electronic Intifada has a book out, 'Weaponizing Antisemitism.' I see it's recommended not only by Jackie Walker but also Rita Allison, admin of 'Truthers against Zionist Lobbies'.

2/ I rarely look at Truthers these days, due to the queasiness of seeing their neonazism entwined with their avowed humanitarian concern for Palestinians, in other words, the far right masked up as the moderate left.
However, this is their schtick.

3/ Truthers used a cover picture of Jeremy Corbyn but were so intensely antisemitic that the authors of the Leaked Report (April 2020) considered them beyond the pale.

In one respect, they're on the right track: they are indeed extremely frightening, for several reasons.

Their beliefs are frightening. They believe that Mo Mowlam & Jeremy together achieved peace in N Ireland; that JC could be PM by Xmas; that Keir expelled JC because JC is against antisemitism; that Jeremy's popularity is so great, only a cunning conspiracy stopped him being PM...

...and you don't need me to tell you whom they suspect of being the conspirators.

1/ I'm often the recipient of not particularly friendly tweets from people with 'It was a scam' as their logo, alongside the pro Corbyn hashtag on their Twitter bio.
A thought follows.

2/ 2017: many people found Corbyn refreshingly unspun, honest, sensible & good-hearted.
By 2019, he had showed a curmudgeonly side & his reputation was tainted due to his past association with terrorists & antisemites.
2020: No longer leader, he displayed resentment towards...

3/..his successor and blamed his electoral failures on a campaign against him by bad faith players. It became axiomatic among his supporters to identify these as the PLP, the media, Jewish organizations & Israel. The latter, found daily among Corbynist supporters, crystallized...
