Anyone who seriously thinks that the fact anti-Semitism has suddenly become a big issue in the Labour Party has nothing to do with the fact that Jeremy Corbyn is a strong advocate and campaigner for justice for the Palestinian people, is badly mistaken. I'm not suggesting there are no anti-Semitic members of the Labour Party, maybe there are but I consider it very sad that people would smear a man of great integrity who has spent his life supporting peace and justice and opposing hate and racism to support a country that consistently violates international law and oppresses a whole group of people.
Corbyn backs every Islamofascist group going.
He sups with Hamas and supports Hezbollah.
Hamas are anti-democratic totalitarian fascists.
@@vinm300 are you aware that Netanyahu's Likud Party was founded by Menachem Begin a terrorist and Ariel Sharon a war criminal?
@@jamey55lee , yes I'm aware of the stern gang and Begin's terrorism.
I agree that Sharon is a war criminal. But do you remember what
happened after the Sabra and Shatila massacres ?
250,000 Israelis came out to demonstrate against their own government.
When do you see Palestininas demonstarte against the PLO,PA, Fatah or Hamas ?
They never demonstrate because they'd be beaten or killed. All Palestinian
parties are dictatorial. Arafat ruled as a dictator for 40yrs and stole $3 billion. There is no democracy in Muslim countries only Islamofascism and totalitarianism.
@@vinm300 I didn't know about the Israeli protesters but I don't doubt it, many Israelis want peace and justice. The problem is Netanyahu and his supporters, I consider him a war criminal also.
As for Corbyn, he's a man of peace who has shown the will to speak with groups to drive a peaceful solution. He doesn't back Hamas.
@@jamey55lee , Corbyn does back Hamas, I'll try and find the clip on RUclips for you where he jokes about how welcome they made him and how they managed to whip up a good meal despite the blockade. He thinks they're great guys. Oh yes , that's anti-democratic Hamas that beat-up any critics
and refuse to hold elections.
Corbyn also idolises Yaser Arafat : that dictator of 40yrs who stole $3billion from the people. Corbyn is a nice guy but incredibly naive and ill-informed.
I'll give you another example : Corbyn supports the ANC even though they are a corrupt one-party state that assassinates any opponents in the townships.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_assassinations_in_post-apartheid_South_Africa
It breaks my heart to inform you that Corbyn hasn't a clue.
Tariq Ali is a great and honest thinker and intellectual.
Absolutely.
Tariq Ali : the dumbest thing he ever said, "The world has changed I haven't"
What sort of idiot would boast about that ?
So even when the cold war ends Taiq Ali goes on supporting the Kremlin, even though it is now the Moscow Mafia.
He goes on hating the USA, even when it is attempting to introduce democracy into the Middle East
Not a single Caliphate country has developed democracy
The Arab Spring a total failure
S Africa's ANC utterly corrupt
But Tariq Ali won't change - he's immutable
We have a state owned tv station that would never allow Tariq to speak.
A great brother comrade who tell it like it is.
Tariq is my hero apart from Kwame Nkrumah, Walter Rodney, Malcolm X, Steve Biko, Fred Hampton, Robert Sobukwe, Thomas Sankara, Ho Chin Mein, Chris Hani, Dennis Skinner, Arthur Scargill, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Bernie Grant and Tony Benn as well as Jeremy Corbyn
And mao Zedong !
😂
You left out lenin Stalin and mao all good descent socialists
dont forget bernie sanders
Majid Nawaaz needs to see this and learn something
Maajid Nawaz is in bed with the Right. Always has been.
@@AA-hi6os he has always been a con artist, but as is the case with so many right wing speakers he’s made sure he’s undergone an image transformation and he comes across to the untrained mind as rational, calm and clear thinking. Underneath lies a sinister con artist.
Jeremy Corbyn, my favourite man to get arrested with! I got thrown into a black maria, picketing South Africa House back in the eighties. Lovely guy, kept all our spirits up. The plod of course dropped the bogus charges, it was done to freak out our employers and take us out of play under bail restrictions. 😐
❤
Thanks so much for posting.
Well said Tariq Ali well said
First time I saw Tariq Ali he was one of the backing singers on the Beatles ground breaking World wide satellite transmission of All you need is love.
Altogether now, “All you need is love,love, Love is all you need”.
Jeremy corbyne views and some other Jewish faction as well as alot of the public views are being scrutinized for wanting fairness in palastine and for haveing empathy for others
Why isn't this being discussed in news papers on the news
Because of the media's owners?
I could go on to explain who that is...but I'd be flagged for anti-semitism.
See how this works, yet?
@@simiangimp2282
The 0.46% Jewish population of the UK shouldn't worry if Britain becomes Islamic. Were they not treated better by Muslims than Christians ?
The ‘news’ is part of the problem. Look up who owns the world’s news media or is closely affiliated with it.
Because its NOT true!!!
Why can't we take on board this reasonable thinking?
well said
It is the worst ever for the Palestinian people.
Iserali government are initiating apartheid on the Palestine citizens.
What is the evidence supporting Ali's claim that after the second intifada Israeli embassies were instructed to accuse all critics of Israel of anti-Semitism? And why did the Israeli government need to wait until the second intifada started before issuing this instruction? After all, there were plenty of Israel critics before the year 2000.
Tariq, this tranche of Labour MPs who were against Corbyn, found themselves vindicated after the disastrous election defeat in 2020. What I do not like about Israel specifically is its dismal treatment of the survivors of the Holocaust. Let us remember that most of these survivors were not only children at the time, and that their precious survival under the most terrible of conditions, is a stamp of moral authority for the state of Israel that can never be destroyed.
So you're okay with the treatment of Palestinians?
The treatment of Palestinians and reportedly offering arms to South Africa back in the day to prop up and protect the Apartite regime.
Diane, I agree with your comment entirely. But if you are surrounded by countries which want your population pushed into the sea, as happened here in 1290, you must defend that population. Many in the Knesset are very unhappy with the treatment of the Palestinians. They are not in power yet. And as for South Africa, a nod to FW DeClerk who decided enough was enough and ceded power to the ANC without bloodshed.
@@petercolledge2236
What population? The population of Israel is imported to replace the native PALESTINIANS. You are projecting your own fascism on the Arabs. You are not the victim you are the fascists
@@sparklemotion8377 Is my wording off. Sorry of course didn't Israel offer arms to the South African gov to fight against the anti Apartite movement.
Muslims and Jews worked together for centuries against Christians. I just completed the sentence to make it more accurate.
It is a bit disingenuous to state that anti Semitism didn’t exist in the Islamic world before the 1940s.
He didn't say that though did he? He said there was no basis for philosophical anti-semitism in Islam. He said the "bulk" of it comes from the treatment of the Palestinians...
@@walidb123 Exactly, see the reception the Moroccan king gave those Jews that were displaced in Europe.
So true. Today even worse.
Starmer is the worst thing that ever happened to Labour party.
Jeremy Corbyn Almost destroyed the Labour party. His brand of loony Marxist politics do not belong in the Labour party. The best thing the Labour party ever did was to kick this lunatic out of the party he never belonged in in the first place. Good riddance to Corbyn and his supporters. Its because of him and people who support him that we still have to live under this horrible Tory government. Had it not been for Corbyn we would have won the 2017 election and we would have been free of the Tories, and that is something i will never forgive Corbyn and his supporters for.
To say socialism has never had a problem with antisemitism is so ridiculous. (A socialist speaking here). An, of course, anti-Zionism can be used and is used as a mask by antisemites. "No philosophical basis for antisemitism in Islam" - don't make me laugh. (By the way, Jesus was 0a Jew as were all the apostles and most Christians in the first three centuries). Even if there wasn't or isn't any such basis in Islam it is nevertheless very widespread. To say otherwise it just plain daft.
Tariq never comes across antisemitism so there must be none
British crisis of mastrubation might be justified
lol stop making this about Corbyn’s anti-Zionism and focus on the anti-Semitism that Labour jews themselves have reported. Stop telling Jews what is and isn’t anti-Semitic. You wouldn’t tell people of colour what is and isn’t racism. You wouldn’t tell women what is and isn’t sexism.
לגמרי
So jews can't be bigoted and blacks can't be racist?
Common sense .
Tariq do not lump ALL Christians with Luther please. Some did and still do not hold to his teachings. There is NO strain in German Christian culture of anti Semitism. Have you forgotten the amount of Christians that risked their lives to save Jews from the Nazis?? Do your homework before you open your mouth.
You're talking nonsense. Tariq Ali said that Martin Luther who was born in the 16th century and was the catalyst of the protestant reformation was antisemitic, not all Christians. Check your facts before writing your ludicrous opinions.
@@aliferrari1680 j
Tariq. Who are committing the majority of the anti-Semitic offences in the UK?
Drunken Poles and Ukrainians mostly.
The answer you want is unfortunately not the answer you will get. If you are honest and not a mindless bigot.
muslims
In France, the culprits of so-called hate-crimes are usually jews themselves 😂😂😂😂😂
The world doesn't revolve around the Jews
Obsessing about Palestine (arab nationalism) whilst remaining silent on Syria, Kurds, Rohinga, Tibet, & persecution of Uighars in China- leads to inevitable conclusion that this is motivated by antisemitism
No. It's a matter of staying in good international standing. Israel our pet. It's under our wing. The others aren't. We'd like it if our pet had some semblance of manners in public.
Isreal is supposedly a western country / ally. Its continued existence is funded in no small part by the American tax payer. It has vocal advocates across the party political divide in the legislatures of "the West". It's a lot more a thing that is "our problem" in the sense than the nation states we are a part of are complicit in it than stuff the Chinese Communist Part is (or was) doing. That's the difference.
Exactly... Obsession with so called Palestine and ignoring the butcher of Damascus, the continuous slaughtering of Kurds, the internal fight in Libya, massacres in Soudan...
What a load of rubbish.
