End Islamophobia (In the Blairite Party)

Yeah and the smear of anti-semitism, wether true or not, can be as deadly as Novichok smeared on a door handle. 

But one thing is undeniable. If this was truly about anti-semitism it would aimed at all the parties not just the Labour Party.

Doesn't any one else find it the least bit fishy when the Sun Newspaper and Nigel Farage are lecturing Jeremy Corbyn on racism. Who next? Jim Davidson?

Are you telling me that Trumps poodle Theresa May who has no problem with his KKK fanbase is the model of tolerance or what about all the racist comments made by the Tories foreign minister Boris Johnson? (Didn't he call the people from commonwealth countries "flag waving piccanninies"?) Why is he foreign minister when he is clearly a white supremacist? 

Ofcourse the right wing are having a field day with this because no one is asking the obvious question: "Why are all the people attacking Jeremy Corbyn on the political right/centre right including the Jewish Leaders Council and the Board of Deputies?".

And why is the media calling every jewish person who supports Corbyn part of a "fringe group"; for "fringe group" read socialist. Because the BBC is presently being run by people, and you can fact check this if you want, who have very strong links to the Tory party. 

Not all Muslims are Arabs and not all Muslims are imperialistic, intolerant, misogynistic, homophobic, medieval and brainwashed. Read the old testament and its barbaric, misogynist and, in the figurative sense of the word, medieval but that doesn't mean every Christian or Jewish person is. Thus Islamaphobia is no more rational than a fear of Jewish people or Christians.

Alfie talks about the 1948 War but the Israeli historian Illan Pappe says that palestinians don't call it a war, only the Israeli's call it the 1948 war. The Palestinians, apparently call it Nakba which means catastrophe. 

Heres a good explanation of Nakba from an article by paul D'amato in the International Socialist Review,

"Nakba—Arabic for catastrophe—is the word Palestinians use for Israel’s so-called war of independence. In November 1947 the UN partitioned British-controlled Palestine, granting the Zionists, who had been slowly colonizing the region, 55 percent of the land (the most fertile areas), though Jews were only a third of the population and controlled only 6 percent of the land at the time. Zionist forces used partition as a signal to move into action. In 1948, well-armed Zionist forces, numbering over 50,000, launched a war to ethnically cleanse the indigenous Arab population of Palestine.
The terror campaign they launched was part of a well-prepared and organized plan. Under Plan Dalet, led by David Ben-Gurion, who later became Israel’s first prime minister, Zionist forces were directed to carry out the “destruction of [Palestinian] villages (setting fire to, blowing up, and planting mines in the debris), especially those populations centers which are difficult to control continuously.” A directive to Zionist troops stated, “The principal objective of the operation is the destruction of Arab villages...[and] the eviction of the villagers.”
Selective massacres were used to terrorize the rest into fleeing their homes. According to Israeli historian Benny Morris, Zionist forces perpetrated twenty-four massacres of Palestinians, including the now famous Deir Yasin massacre, where Irgun (led by Menachim Begin) and Stern Gang paramilitaries systematically murdered more than 100 villagers. Though Deir Yasin is the most well known of the massacres, it was by no means the worst. The last large massacre in 1948 was committed in the village of Dawaymeh near Hebron, where as many as 455 people—including around 170 women and children—were slaughtered. According to Israeli historian Illan Pappé, “The Jewish soldiers who took part in the massacre also reported horrific scenes: babies whose skulls were cracked open, women raped or burned alive in houses, and men stabbed to death.”
Urban areas were also targeted. The Jewish army commander of the brigade attacking Haifa (the officer later became the Israeli army’s chief of staff) ordered his troops to “kill any Arab you encounter; torch all inflammable objects and force doors open with explosives.” Haifa’s Palestinian residents were so shocked by the attack that they fled without packing any of their belongings. Masses of people streamed to the harbor, hoping to get on a boat. Jewish troops then began bombarding the crowd as it gathered in the market place. The panic-stricken crowd stormed the boats; many were trampled, and many of the overcrowded boats turned over and sank.
Within six months, major cities were emptied of Arabs, and 531 villages were wiped off the map. Zionist forces had extended their control to 78 percent of historic Palestine. Of the almost one million Arabs living in Palestine, 13,000 were killed, 750,000 fled, and 180,000 were left within the borders of the newly declared state of Israel. Of those who fled, two-thirds became refugees in the West Bank and Gaza, and the others ended up in squalid refugee camps in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and elsewhere in the Middle East.
While Israeli officials do not often publicly admit the truth of what really happened, there are moments of candor. Moshe Dayan, a Zionist commander during the ’48 war who later became chief of staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, told an audience in 1962:
We came to this country, which was already populated by Arabs, and we are establishing a Hebrew, that is, a Jewish State, here. Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you, because those geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books, not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahal arose in the place of Mahalul; Gevat in the place of Jibta; Sarid in the place of Tell Shaman. There is not one place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.
The “vision of a purely Jewish nation-state,” writes Pappé, “had been at the heart of Zionist ideology from the moment the movement emerged in the late nineteenth century.” David Ben-Gurion told the senior members of his Mapai Party in 1947 that “Only a state with at least 80 percent Jews is a viable and stable.” Later in the same year, he told the Executive of the Jewish Agency that for Palestinians not to become a fifth column inside the new Jewish state, they must either be arrested or expelled. “It is better to expel them,” he concluded. But that goal was only partially achieved in 1948. Israeli policy since then has been directed at completing its goal. In that sense, the Nakba—the forcible expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland—has really never ended" -

Israel and the Nakba, Chronicle of disposession and resistance by Paul D'amato from the International Socialist Review - Issue 60

Di, its important to remember that alot of the people who criticize the Israeli state are Israeli too, like Illan Pappe. Criticism of the Israeli government is not hatred of Israeli's and I believe that, even if the truth is unpleasant, a lot of good Israeli's would want to know. Wouldn't you want to know if terrible acts were perpetrated in your name?

You mean they've stolen land just like White Anglo Saxons have? Should I stop caring about White Anglo Saxons then? And should I stop having sympathy for little Arab children just because of the crimes of their ancestors?

In what way does the native population of a country being ethnically the same as those in neighbouring countries make it alright to force the native population out of it?

Also you just criticized Arabs for stealing land but you're saying its alright to steal Palestinian land.

Furthermore you're factually incorrect about who the Arabs stole North Africa from. The Romans (After the Greeks) had already conquered Egypt and Libya and so the Arabs stole Egypt and Libya from the Byzantine Roman Empire just as they stole Jerusalem from Christianized Romans. In other words, the Arabs stole land that had already been stolen from its original owners. 

But stealing land in general is not a good thing whether its Arabs, Romans, White Anglo Saxons, the Spanish or Israel who are doing the stealing.

.

Well Alfie, you have a right not to care if you want

but I do and I hope others will too.
