Is The Labour Anti-Semitism row an organised ditch Corbyn campaign?

The whole Jeremy Corbyn Anti-Semitism row is beginning to look at like a question of who selects the Labour Party and the UK Prime Minister.

The blog Political betting may or may not be neutral, but they seem to echoing a call from a media that seems at times to be orchestrated .

They write

The ongoing narrative over anti-semitism within the Labour Party has now gone beyond the point when the former spin doctor, Alastair Campbell, said that a bad news story should have been closed down. Tony Blair’s spin doctor used to observe that if one was running more than a week after it started then it was serious.
By that judgement this is really starting to look very problematical for Labour and Mr Corbyn and it’s hard to see what is going to close it down. There are so many cases to be dealt with in the pipeline that we are going to get continual reminders of this running sore and you can be sure that Labour’s opponents are going to do their best to keep on bringing it up.

Mischievously the government is making time available in the Commons for a debate and the overnight news about Corbyn’s Facebook account being deleted is only going to add to the media hunger.

Today’s Times is reporting that 17k members have been lost this year and only last week 3k of them did not renew their direct debits.
Ironically this will only make the party’s membership base even more pro-Corbyn because you would assume that those who have gone were not part of his fan-base.
The real worry for the party must be that this is so associated with their leader that this will continue as an ongoing irritation while he remains in the job. Given his huge support amongst the membership seen in the recent YouGov members’ poll then it is hard to see him stepping aside.
The political point is that voters don’t like split parties and that is what this row highlights.

True but it seems to me that the split has been there from the start of Corbyn's election as leader and it is the usual suspects including Welsh MPs Stephen Doughty and Stephen Kinnock

In January 2016, Doughty announced that he had resigned as a shadow Foreign Minister on the live Daily Politics programme, saying that he supported the sacked Pat McFadden's views on terrorism and accusing members of the Labour leadership team of lying about the reasons for McFadden's sacking.


Is there any resemblance to defeated Corbyn challenger Owen Smith who Corbyn appointed Smith as Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.^[5] After Smith announced his support for the UK to remain in the single market and his support for a second EU referendum (a breach of shadow cabinet collective responsibility), he was fired from this position and was immediately replaced by Tony Lloyd.

The latest attacks in Corbyn  seems to be that he attended  Jeremy Corbyn for celebrating the Jewish Seder festival with a left-wing Jewish group called Jewdas.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewdas

Extraordinary it has led to Anti-Corbyn critics to see the story posted by extreme-right Guido Fawke blog whose contributors often make vile racist and photophobic references.


 Labour MP John Woodcock has gone even further by slamming Jeremy Corbyn for celebrating the Jewish Seder festival with a left-wing Jewish group

It seems that these are the wrong sought of Jews because , , is a left-wing and anti-Zionist organisation of British Jews.
Representing what it describes as “radical voices for the alternative diaspora”, Jewdas has been fiercely critical of both the state of Israel and the mainstream British Jewish communal leadership.
The group tweeted last December that Israel was “a steaming pile of sewage which needs to be disposed of”, and claimed last week’s protest against antisemitism was “the work of cynical manipulations by people whose express loyalty is to the Conservative Party and the right wing of the Labour Party”.



AAV has responded  to this in his usual combative style.

Apparently Corbyn is still an anti-Semite for attending and participating in a Jewish festival, because the people there are somehow the wrong kind of Jews.

Using grotesquely divisive 'good Jew - bad Jew' shit to delegitimise and dismiss Jewish voices you disagree with is about as clear an example of anti-Semitism as it's possible to see. But Woodcock didn't just get a free pass on it, his vile comments were uncritically repeated all over the mainstream media, including the oh-so-impartial BBC.

It's difficult not to resort to anger when you see a person resorting to spectacularly divisive anti-Semitism in order to smear one of their political opponents as anti-Semitic, but perhaps the best response to this kind of sick hypocrisy is humour.

One of the most telling responses to Woodcock's vile effort to delegitimise and silence left-wing Jews came from the poet and children's laureate Michael Rosen, who wrote him a poem (see picture).

 As readers of the Blog will know I am not a Corbyn or Labour Fanboy, but I wonder how many other UK parties could pass the scrutiny that has ben applied here.

Or the immediate assumption that support for Palestine and condemnation   of israel's government  is automatically  Anti Semantic.

I do not know how many real anti-semities  are in the Labour Party (there probably are some) or in any other party.(there probably are some as well maybe more) but it is clear to me that this being used to damage Labour in the English local government  elections  and therfore Corbyn

An alliance between right wing Labour MPs and the UK media to overthrow the overwhelming choice of that party leads us to question whether we could truly have a democratic left of centre  government in Westminster,
