CST published stats for antisemitic incidents for the 1st 6 months of 2019. Only 100 of 892 were supposedly related to Labour. This report shows what those 100 were about. Read the report and make up your own minds.

You guys have lost the plot and are now simply a slightly less brash version of the Daily Mail.

Dear Guardian, Should you really be publicising the 'work' of an organisation which is chaired by a convicted criminal?

Who are these ‘researchers’? Members of The Lobby no doubt. has really become the mouthpiece for the establishment Zionists. Shameful

Twitter is not the extent of the problem, it is the tip of the iceberg. The fanatics will have secured communications, and avenues of indoctrination at grass roots level. They do not publically display their antisemitism, but they use it actively to recruit others into their rank

So the worst thing Jamie Foward can find to 'demonstrate'the antisemitism of these accounts is that one showed a cartoon of an Israeli flag with a swastika on it. In other words, legitimate criticism of a viciously racist, supremacist country. WTAF.

Extremism in politics has always led to racism The anti Semitic hatred at the heart of PeoplesMomentum is the same hatred expressed by the old Workers Revolutionary Party, the Socialist Workers Party and the British Fascist Party

If anyone can help with my PhD, I'm trying to determine when the Observer and Guardian were not committed 'SDP shit wipes' (Steve Bell)? I've gone back decades but all I find is more shit, posturing and gutless evasion. And quite a few 'invasions'.

It is absurd to claim it is anti semitic to defend yourself against false claims of anti semitism.. We are in the Kafkaesque world of pleading not guitly meaning your are guilty.

There's no link to any report, or any examples of antisemitism in the article. The only examples of 'offensive' content are playground ad hominem, and a possibly legitimate implication that the Israeli state shares similar policies to the Nazi state.

There’s nothing wrong with questioning things which appear bogus. He who alleges must proof but those making “antisemitism” claims offer none. When you have outed bigots e.g campbellclaret DPJHodges IanAustinMP on it, you’ll be stupid not to question the motive. It’s pathetic.

'The account holder, Scott Nelson, was expelled from Labour for a series of tweets including one that displayed an image of an Israeli flag peeling away to reveal a swastika, something for which he later apologised.' - so people are being expelled for this, then.

There's ZERO antisemitism in Labour. Just some anti-Corbyn centrist corporatists using rightful anti-Israel sentimenta for their own gain.

To protest against the way the Israel government does in Palestine is not antisemitism.

Maybe they are just the accounts of people who know bullshit when they see it.

More polemics from the Grauniad: diminishing readership that no one with a brain believes.

Counter Israeli propaganda is completely legitimate...

There was a very interesting article on the JVL blog talking about anti-Semitism in the Grauniad.

You are lucky to go 10 seconds on Twitter with some coming across a vile account.

Doesn't help that the leader and most of the front bench are raging anti-Semites obvs

Only Labour offers a true alternative, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones Lib-dem and labour is equally as bad as lib-dem and conservatives They don't appear to have offered a single viable alternative to anything for the past 3 years, seemingly content to let it all go to shit and try and hoover up the pieces.
