1) Traditional European antisemitism flooding back into Labour, illustrated by the east London “Freedom for Humanity” mural that Corbyn defended, and which perpetuated ideas about Jewish world domination.
This incident actually disproves the antisemitism allegation. Corbyn endorsed a mural whose message was that a global capitalist class is exploiting the rest of us. It had to *pointed out to him* that one of the characters had a hook nose, and that could be interpreted as antisemitic. That is, in glimpsing the mural, Corbyn did not even notice that feature, and if he did, he did not in *his* mind make the connection: hook-nose = Jew. But the people making the antisemitism accusation *did* make that connection; so, if anything, the accusers might be the antisemitic ones.
2) Holding Israel’s Jews to a higher standard than the rest of the world. 3) An obsessive focus on Israel for errors that are far worse elsewhere.
Those two are ‘whataboutery’: ‘Why point the finger at Jews/Israel when that country over there is behaving even worse.’
4) Supporting or otherwise praising genocidal, Jew-murdering terrorist groups.
Some quotes would be helpful. (Even Tony Blair has in the past suggested that we should negotiate with Hamas.
