In reply to the discussion: With just one word, Labour MPs reveal utter contempt for Corbyn supporters [View all]LeftishBrit
(41,205 posts)As regards Israel, I support a two-state solution, and have little time for the hardliners of either side. But I do not think that Corbyn is an anti-Semite. I think he sometimes shared platforms with dodgy types: who, in high places, hasn't? Blair was for a time very palsy-walsy with Gaddafi, who wasn't exactly known for his great love of Jews, or his devotion to non-violence. All our leaders have pandered to the far-right, anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist, human-rights-abusing, generally awful governments of Saudi Arabia, and the last government (I nearly said 'the current government' but there basically isn't one) actually helped get them on the UN human rights council. Most of our governments have been very friendly with authoritarian, human-rights-abusing China, and some members of the last government even suggested that we emulate their industrial policies and lack of worker protection.
