Gideon Levy - The Contract on Corbyn

Corbyn is not an anti-Semite. His real sin is to fight against injustice in the world, including the version Israel perpetrates



Corbyn is not an anti-Semite. He never was. His real sin is his staunch position against injustice in the world, including the version Israel perpetrates. Today this is anti-Semitism. The Hungarian Viktor Orban, the Austrian Freedom Party and the extreme right in Europe are not the danger to Jews. Corbyn is the enemy. The new and efficient strategy of Israel and the Zionist establishment brands every seeker of justice as an anti-Semite, and any criticism of Israel as hatred of Jews. The Jews and Israel’s true friends should hope that Corbyn is elected. He is a statesman who can change international discourse about the occupation and the struggle against it. He is a ray of hope for a different world and a different Israel – and what more could we want.Corbyn is a victim of this strategy, which threatens to paralyze and silence Europe with regard to Israel.

Seems more like MPs pandering for votes from Muslim neighborhoods and the parties vying to push the line on antisemitism a bit further each year to differentiate themselves. By
expressing solidarity in hatred for Israel they keep pushing further and further.

Seems more like Ryan is pushing his usual BS. “Solidarity with hatred for Israel”, must one of the most stupid things written here.
