    Why should I, a diasporist Jewish anti-Zionist, who has always fought antisemitism, have to take notice of a Christian called Christian, who used to be anti-immigrant Tory MP, claiming that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. I am anti-Zionist because I am anti-racist.
    “Let’s call it out for what is is: anti-Zionism is antisemitism”. At yesterday’s statement on antisemitism in the UK, LFI vice-chair @Christian4BuryS talked about the “sinister” use of “Zionism” and “Zionists” as code for Jews in public discourse.

    So I watched Stephen Fry’s “Alternative” Xmas broadcast yesterday hoping for some enlightenment, but was left wondering what it was an alternative to, and what a missed opportunity it was. 1/12

    I made the mistake last night of watching Kendall v Corbyn on Peston. Corbyn answered questions directly and assuredly, Kendall just threw insults, pathetically trying to play the bully. She displayed the Labour Right's deeply dishonest, phoney war on antisemitism 1/7

    Shameful GE19 intervention by unelected Chief Rabbi who does NOT speak for all UK Jews. GE19 is a 2 horse-race: Johnson's party of Go Home vans, racist insults, links to antisemites and Islamophobes in Europe v radical reforming Labour. Where is the Chief Rabbi's moral compass?

    So the warmonger Netanyahu, with the blood of countless Palestinians on his hands, who has just passed a law confirming Israel as an apartheid state, feels he has the moral authority to comment on matters about Jeremy Corbyn.

    Lovely welcome back to @jeremycorbyn who has come straight from the stress of his hearing today to take part in a Black History event in Islington North. He is speaking right now, giving a great contribution about international black history figures over the last 300 years!

    What an absolute disgrace @jeremycorbyn is, going off to help at a homeless shelter on Christmas every year, rather than watching a 10-minute broadcast by one of the world’s wealthiest landladies and corgi owners. Mendacious.

    Word of warning to those who have seen statistics saying 87% of British Jews think Corbyn is an antisemite, and 47% would consider emigrating if he became PM... the questions were put to just 0.28% of the Jewish community. In other words, it's bollox! #JC4PM

    His specious claim that antisemitism was the “one acceptable face of racism” in the UK today would have astonished those at the sharpest end among Gypsy, Roma, Traveller communities, Muslim communities, Black communities who continue to face state and institutional racism, 11/12

    Just a reminder that Rachel Riley who abuses the Jewish writer,poet, pro-NHS and antifascist activist M Rosen, implying that his supporters are antisemites, is the same Rachel Riley who told an interviewer: “I don’t look like a typical Jew”. What does a “typical Jew” look like?

    And Fiona Bruce, who in the months before the election usually interrupted Labour politicians within 30 seconds, gave this racist just as much time as she wanted or needed. Disgusting.
    "You got people flooding into this country who cannot speak English ...what kind of country allows that." Quite a shocking diatribe from an audience member from London. Thank god the audience did not applaud her bigotry. #bbcqt

    Thank you Jeremy - and absolutely reciprocated – from a Jewish constituent who knows well your wholehearted support for every minority community in the borough and your dedication over decades to combating all racism, fascism and injustice!

    Early entry for April Fools Day headline. Complete bollox in just 6 words. Myself, and many Jews I know, are campaigning all-out for a Corbyn-led Labour Government that will finally tackle Tory-imposed poverty, homelessness, racism, injustice.

    Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign was an extraordinary phenomenon and such a pleasure to be part of. Cross generational, forward-looking, cooperative, devoid of egos, diverse, multicultural and rooted in solidly socialist, anti-racist and internationalist political values. 1/2
