Corbyn suspended by Kier Starmer over antisemitism

The former leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn has been suspended from Labour following his response to a report investigating antisemitism in the party. An investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission found the Labour Party could be seen “at worst” to accept antisemitism and is responsible for "unlawful" harassment and discrimination under Corbyn’s leadership. It also found the former Leader of the Labour Party’s office interfered in dozens of internal investigations into antisemitism, including a complaint against Jeremy Corbyn for supporting a mural which was seen by many as racist.

Sir Keir Starmer removed the whip from Mr Corbyn and suspended him just hours after the former Labour leader said accusations of antisemitism was had been overblown for political purposes.

Repeat after me: It is OK to criticise Israel. It is not antisemitic to criticise Israel.

Semite   1.relating to or denoting a family of languages that includes Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic and certain ancient languages such as Phoenician and Akkadian, constituting the main subgroup of the Afro-Asiatic family.
2. > relating to the peoples who speak Semitic languages, especially Hebrew and Arabic

[thunderstruck]

So you're basically not allowed to criticize Jews as a group.

And not a mention of exactly where, within the Labour Party, this 'anti semitism' originates.
Hmmm. I wonder why that would be 🤔

[viviencockle]

He should have been kicked out years ago, when he became an IRA sympathiser.

[stephengerrard]

RIP Labour Party, but who is going to be the opposition

Anti Semitism but no Anti-Islam? The world allows ridicule of a religion and a people yet another is protected?

Jeremy Corbyn should've been suspended from the party in 2015?

If an Equality and Human Rights Commission found any party wrong than it is it, Call Spade a Spade. If any member of any party indulges against the principals he/she took oath to upheld and safe goes rogue than be it anybody, they must be expelled for life and must go to jail like anyother ordinary citizens. But than comes laws and politics, parties will even go up to the extend of supporting eachother and pass a Law or ordinance in the houses parliament etc's and gets away with it, this has been seen in almost of the countries around the world. When will this come to an end and put a Stop to this hypocrisy. Hypocrocy also has a limit!

1:46 Noticeably, the woman refers to Starmer by his Christian name. How cosy, and how hopelessly unprofessional.

You cannot possibly believe that Starmer was not aware of what was going was deputy leader....The millionaire champagne socialist, Britain hating, two houses Starmer who is campaigning to rejoin the EU when he is not too busy running into cyclists should resign his membership too....He was in it up to his neck by association....Least he could do is fall on his sword and go down with Jeremy....That would be the honest thing to do....!!!
