Hamas has moved on from its charter and no longer call for the destruction of Israel, I understand.Almost the entire world is critical of Israel. The Israelis see enemies under their beds. The Palestinian people, including children, are called enemies of Israel for good reason, seeing how they have been treated by the brutal Israeli occupation. Indeed, very many sympathize with Israel's enemies.I am not English.You say you're from the European Union. Are you from that part of it which is destined to invoke Article 50 .. in which case, where will you say you're from, once that happens ? Will you claim to be Stateless ... ?
Being critical of Israel is not the same as being antisemitic.Anyway, that aside, your apparent belief that the Left isn't antisemitic is, of course, hogwash.
During the last major conflict between Hamas and the State of Israel -- Ed Miliband, Labour's then-Leader, not only strongly attacked Israel for its actions in defending itself from their terrorism, he even tried to make capital out of the Conservatives' refusal to be as robustly critical of them that he was.
Being critical of Israel, as I say, may be anti-Zionist but it is not antisemitic. Many Jews criticize Israel.How about George Galloway, who's further to the Left than the Labour Party is ? Or Ken Livingstone, and his outrageous (i.e sick) remark about Hitler being 'a supporter of Zionism' .. ?
Ken Livingstone was right when he mentioned Hitler and the Nazis before the war claimed to be Zionists.
Many false assertions were made about socialists.Here ... check this out ...
Labour party antisemitism.
That link has a lot more to say. Check it out ...
You're nitpicking somewhat.
I only posted a selection of examples of the Left's antisemitism. I could have posted more. An example of Corbyn and his friendliness with Israel's enemies, for example ?
The English media are particularly partial to Zionism, after all, putting an homeland for European Jews right in the middle of Palestine was a British idea in the first place.As for Livingstone, well, if he was so 'right', how come he was villified for his 'Hitler' view ? How come his employment as an LBC pundit was abruptly terminated after he expressed that comment ? How come EVEN his OWN PARTY dropped him, because he'd become too much of an embarrassment to them ?
Israel has no right to exist ... is THIS the message you want people to believe in ?
And I suggest you take a look at the Hamas Charter (Hamas being the ruling power in Gaza, and an internationally recognised terrorist organisation !!). Hamas is committed to Israel's destruction. THIS is the power that, every now and again, fires rockets into Israeli territory, with the hope of killing as many Israeli citizens as they can manage.
This includes women and children. Or .. must they, too, be at the mercy of terrorist scum ??
Not as of 2014.
You have something more recent??
