      By who?

      We can only hope this is a way of avoiding the anti-Semitism claims used (in part) to sink Labour when Corbyn was in charge.

      He could explain the difference between Israel and Judaism a billion times, but if he denounces Israel, he’ll be called an anti-Semite by all and sundry. It’ll tarnish his reputation and potentially ruin his election hopes.

      Of course, I have no way of knowing his true feelings. Maybe he genuinely is in favour of what they’re doing over there.

          Thats an awful lot of words to avoid the question. If you want Labour to beaten at the next election who do you want to win? Given that the only other party with any chance of forming a majority is the tories I would have to assume you want them to win.

                  So given that there is no significant party to the left of Labour (LDs arent, the greens are viable in about 3 seats and the nationalists only contest around a 5th of the total seats) you don’t want Labour to be beaten, you’re just frustrated with Labour’s position. I get that, it pisses me off how timid they are being as well. But trying to stir up animosity to the only party that can replace the current incompetent and at times bordering fascist government we currently have is not the way to go.
