"Anti-racists being accused by racists of being racist...no greater ridiculousness"
Former Israeli Government Minister Shulamit Aloni on antisemitism smears
"It's a trick, we always use it"
Here are Orthodox Jews who refute antisemitism smears against Corbyn, oppose IHRA and state quite clearly 'Israel is a racist endeavour'
Stephen Marks of @JVoiceLabour
destroys 'institutional antisemitism' smear with humourous observation that the Leadership was contested by two Jewish brothers just a few years ago!
#WrongKindOfJew (sorry don't know this Lady's name) 1. Anti-Israelism is being conflated to and confected into supposed Anti-semitism 2. BoD/JLC have heavy Tory presence/influence 3. Political factionalism of Labour Right abusing the issue

The Right Wing 'Democratic' Establishment in the USA have even tried to use antisemitism smears against actress Cynthia Nixon when she stood for political office

THREAD of clips from the 'Antisemitism' debate held in London where the 'battle of ideas' was convincingly and easily won by @mehdirhasan and @pappe54.
This first clip was Mehdi's summing up against the 'ludicrous, offensive and dishonest motion'
@mehdirhasan@pappe54 This second clip is Ilan Pappe's summing up :
"Think of how it would be if someone came to you in the dead of night in London and said I used to live in your house 2000 years ago and so it belongs to me." Zionism was a settler-colonialist project in the 19th Century and today.
@mehdirhasan@pappe54 Israeli historian Ilan Pappe tells the audience historically Jews were treated far better in the Arab world than they were in the Christian world ...until the rise of Zionist ideology
