Why are there even British Jews? Shouldn't they assimiconflate to Israel?
Obviously those are jew-hating jews! How dare they not be also isrelis?
There are no "issues" with defining "antisemitism" in "the left". There is a political fight within the UK's Labour Party between the bairite faction that used to control it, and the vast majority of the members of the party who have chosen a different leadership from outside that clique. This is entire an issue within the UK's Labour Party.
And the reason a media campaign is being waged over it now is that party members have put forth several motions to allow for the deselection of MPs. Meaning: those blairites will no longer have their positions guaranteed, they are going to have to campaign against others and sin support from the members if they want to be the party candidates. Most know know they lack the support to be nominated, they have a history of not caring for their own (supposed) constituencies. So they are trying to take over the bureaucracy, the leadership of the party and prevent this. They need to carry out a coup within the party
now and take power, or they're out of the game.
These blairites who fear losing their political influence and therefore their many plush jobs: not just their jobs as MPs, they also get hired by corporations out to buy political influence in order to suck money from the state with these "public-private partnerships"
They have nothing else to attack Corbyn with:
- they said he was "unelectable", he got a better result that the blairire clique had managed.
- they sair he was a dangerous socialist out to nationalize stuff, it turns out that UK voters are sick of seeing public services be placed under private management and bankrupted, costing the people who sue them and the state - they
welcome "nationalizing" back these public services.
Thus they seized on the fact that Corbyn always, consistently, denounced discrimination and racism, which includes denouncing the systematic policies of the israeli state, to brand him an "anti-semite" and try to create some kind of "political scandal". They'll fail because Corbyn is not some coward or inexperienced youngling, he's always stuck to his principles when they were not popular and is used to attacks through the media. As for the UK's public, some conservative-leaning ones may be cynically hoping Corbin will give up, but even they know the campaign is a desperate lie. And the labour supporters have seen through it a long time ago.
Expect the whiners to leave the Labour Party rather than submit themselves to any kind of "primaries". Perhaps they'll then go begging to their corporate masters for some financing. But those know better than to waste money financing proven losers. Nor will the israelis offer them any help, some are probably fuming at how this whole thing is drawing unwanted attention to Israel's policies.
