How easy can it be for the JVL supporters to work out what is JVL vis-à-vis JLM? They are confused enough!

I'm not sure of the date of this screen shot, but you see what I mean? If this is what JVL training produces, there's something rotten in the state of Denmark.

This is from 9 May. Sheikh Jarrah was the issue. Well I feel that JVL's strictures against antisemitism are not getting through to their supporters.

Frankly, I don't think JVL have a keen eye for antisemitism or, if they do see it, they cut it some slack.

They did nothing to contain the hyperbole of their fans.

JVL have never corrected their supporters on the innumerable occasions when they assert that Jews run British political parties by means of money. Examples are legion. I'm compiling a dossier.

I'll end here, but I just uploaded this page & the remark about Starmer's wife is a gross example of not knowing the difference between UK Jews and Israelis. If JVL want to do training, I think they could have had a word about that.

1/Combined with the mainstreaming of Jew hate (something I've never seen before in the UK), biased reporting against Israel, which occurs sometimes, NOT always, manages to fan the flames. I certainly don't want to say everything Israel does is right, but the ready demonization...

2/....thrives on reportage which shows Israeli combatants & Gazan civilians but never the reverse; says 'Israel bombarded' & 'Rockets landed' (how do rockets DO that?); says 'Israel CLAIMS' but repeats Hamas announcements as fact; suggests roads in Jerusalem are a land grab...

3/ Speaks of Jerusalem, Israel's capital, as 'occupied' & delegitimizes even the1948 borders, let alone the1967 borders, gained in a war which was more defensive than conquest. Now I don't want my safety in England to depend on being able to justify Israel's every move...

#BBCnews said that Jeremy Bowen was reporting from #Sderot. We saw Gaza. Bowen spoke about the bombardment of Gaza and showed some rubble. He hasn't mention Sderot.

'That was Jeremy Bowen - from Jerusalem,' said the news anchor.

Bowen said that Israel shows off about Iron Dome and that more die in Gaza than in Israel. Hamas hasn't worked on any defensive infrastructure, such as shelters, except for their tunnels for Hamas operatives.

Thanks to Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer & Lisa Nandy for condemning antisemitic abuse. Thanks to Ed Davey for his Shavuot wishes. Watcha Caroline! How ya doing?
I expect Mr Corbyn will be along in a minute.

Sorry, it's Sian Berry who's the Green Party leader. For her tweet against antisemitic racism, she's chosen to retweet Aaron Bastani.

I'm sure Mr Corbyn will get round to it but he's terribly busy at the moment making speeches in support of -Hamas, it seems to me, though he would say 'Palestinians' in that breathy, reverent way he has. He doesn't sniff when making speeches. Sniffing is a tic, for interviews.

Another favour to ask. 'Recognising Jeremy Corbyn's Dedication to a Just Society' displays a photo of E Thornberry wth Jews, 2nd one today, & of course the comrades are outraged. It's a public forum on FB & I don't want to look at it again tonight. Will someone else keep an eye?
