I was wondering how LPF would manage, now that Jeremy Corbyn's come out against antisemitism. As they said in Jurassic Park, 'Life finds a way.'
Whoa!! It's a veritable flux. This is just the first trickle.
The good news is, there are some differences of opinion going on, even as I type. This is from LPF.
It's getting a bit febrile now.

Here we GO!
Martin recommends some reading for 'Ga'.
I read the article Martin recommended to 'Ga'. It is long & concludes as shown in the right hand column.
A little later - Martin & Jonathan don't believe there is much Labour a/s & ask J, who does, to provide evidence of multiple episodes. This happens on Twitter too. 'Show me the evidence.' Berkleyan scepticism, just in the matter of #LabourAntisemitism.

1) I haven't got time to make the usual collage so I'm going to post a thread of raw shots & hope it makes sense. It's all from the Facebook Forum called Truthers Against Zionist Lobbies. Are you ready?
2) And happy new year to you too, Rita. You know not what you do.
3) Truthers like the new improved mural, featuring Corbyn Pantocrator.

It's an eclectic group. Rima's article (I haven't looked yet) may be sane, compared to Karlbarkhuysen's post. Jane attributes opposition to Gilad Atzmon to Herut, so she's mistaken, to use a euphemism.
Mural redux and Al Jazeera's the Lobby Redux. This afternoon on 'Truthers against Zionists Lobbies.'
One of those paradoxes when they want to send American/European/Mizrachi Jews 'back to Israel'.

I've got a feeling they don't know we can see them.
If you're wondering what's in the article posted below the Mear One mural with Corbyn presiding like an icon above the bankers, here's an excerpt from it.
Here's another excerpt.

Way overdue to make a thread for the hundred millionaire neoliberal duchess of corporate Democrats void of all ideas except for fundraising to buy the leadership of the house, Nancy Pelosi.
Especially since she has been endorsed by this jagoff to be the leader again, which is what the Republicans want by the way to keep winning in the Midwest. politi.co/2JLRwJi
It could also be that Pelosi said she would handcuff the Democratic agenda by introducing Pay-Go to kill off any progressive legislation that actually helps the many, not the few. interc.pt/2MKWCKx

For the confused amongst you, I'm looking at you Blakeley, this is the basic economics of the situation.

The UK imports 50% of the food we consume.

When the £ falls in value against the $ & the Euro, the price of food we import from USA & EU rises, purely because you get ...
... fewer dollars and Euros to the pound.

You may be familiar with this concept, Grace, if you've ever been on holiday abroad, perhaps for a spot of skiing, at a time of currency fluctuations and had to exchange the £ for the Euro and then back again.
A general rise in prices, Blakeley, is what economists call inflation.

Ah, you say, but we were only talking about food.

True, but oil is priced in dollars so when the £ falls in value against dollar then, for example. the cost of transporting goods goes up across the economy.

Against Normalization: The Lesson of the “Munich Post”

By Ron Rosenbaum @RonRosenbaum1

THREAD✔
1/
THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

If you're fucking sick of hearing so much about left-wing antisemitism, think how fucking tired its victims are of being on the receiving fucking end of it.
And if you think complaints about left-wing antisemitism are part of some kind of conspiracy to cover up complaints of other kinds of racism or forms of bigotry, guess what, you sound pretty indistinguishable from an antisemite, however "woke" you are.
Absolutely true that antisemitism isn't the only form of bigotry or hypocrisy on the left - various people &/or publications decry some kinds of antisemitism but not others, or are actively transphobic or racist in other ways. That's not an excuse to be same.

#thread on @UKLabour NEC Code Conduct on #Antisemitism showing how opposition to it is wrong. Links from Dr Brian Klug, Moran Mandelbaum, David Feldman, Josh Nathan Kazis on Kenneth Stern, Rhea Wolfson, Jennie Formby and Jo Lansman
Firstly this is the NEC code here. Please read. It covers conspiracy theory antisemitism, the 'socialism of fools' and antisemitism masquerading as criticism of Israel. These are the issues that have crept into Labour from the conspiracy theory fringes. thejc.com/comment/analys…
Jon Lansman @jonlansman states the new code is "Labour’s antisemitism code is the gold standard for political parties .. The new code makes clear that discrimination against Jewish people is unacceptable while allowing for legitimate criticism of Israel " theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The sentiment is admirable but not sure Owen and other commentators in the pro-Corbyn world fully understand why there is a culture of #antisemitism denial. Few thoughts on this and what to think about moving forward. Long-ass thread 1/
Lots of articles, some useful podcasts from some of the pro-Corbyn commentariat on left antisemitism but three words noticeably absent from the debate. Jewish. Labour. Movement.

Also, the role new-left media has played in fostering an antisemitic culture has been overlooked 2/
Opposing left wing antisemitism means challenging parts of new-left media where anti-Jewish bias is prevalent. There's just no way round this. Some specific examples: The Canary's been on a mission to normalise the Nazi metaphor with Israel. (Really helpful guys, thanks)
