I have huge problems with Jeremy Corbyn's attitude towards Brexit. However, in fairness, I've analysed the relevant footage of today's PMQs using Igrigorik's Video Speed Controller Chrome plugin which, together with my basic understanding of phonetics, leads me to believe with 85-87% certainty that Jeremy Corbyn did NOT utter sotto voce "Stupid Woman". In short I smell a rat!
@Surasanji Okay. This is a separate issue but an important one. OK I think JC let his understanding of the current Israeli administration's attitude towards the Palestinian 'Cause' affect his judgement re the need for UK Labour to accept accept the now almost universally agreed statement re anti-Semitism. I'm a Christian but I'm also absolutely appalled by what Christians have done to both Jews and Muslims, We have to get real here (drop a tab of acid maybe) , we're running out of time (climate change etc.) In the end we have to embrace all our brothers and sisters with absolute and total sincerity.
@iankenway For sure. A lot of your posts are from the standpoint of a British Citizen so I totally get your normal content. I do some of the same with my own government (Israeli).
It's just hard for me, as a Jewish person, to trust a guy who won't agree to that universally agreed to and understood definition of antisemitism.
It just, I don't know.. Smells bad to me, you know what I mean?
I agree, totally, re: brotherhood of man. We're all human, and like it or not we're in this thing together.
@iankenway My issue with Corbyn is that it looks like he's trying to protect anti-Semites.
