I wonder if these self-righteous accusers have any perception of how we are viewed from afar by the more sane countries around the world. There is a simple question to be asked here: \u201cIs Jeremy Corbyn racist?\u201d Well, the answer to that is so self evident that those who accuse him wouldn\u2019t dare ask it.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy Corbyn has a long history of standing up for truth, justice and for all of those who find themselves under attack through social injustice and poverty. Were he to be Prime Minister it would bring a breath of new life into our occupied Kingdom, held hostage by money, power and corporate lobbyists. That is, were all of his Labour party members to stand up and support him.<\/p>\n<p>So who are the real anti-semites here? It goes without saying that Palestinians are also of the Semitic race. The word anti-semitic has been highjacked, distorted\u00a0and shrunk to make it into a little word that only applies to one people. Is the suffering of one people greater than the suffering of other people? I can\u2019t imagine anyone who survived the holocaust ever thinking that, let alone heralding it as a shield to protect themselves from bully tactics or, in the clear case of Israel, their criminal behaviour. Suffering is a condition that is relevant to all of us by virtue of our being human&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dissidentvoice.org\/2018\/09\/standing-up-for-jeremy-corbyn\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is appalling to be British and observe the circus of hysterical, ridiculous accusations being flung at Jeremy Corbyn by the Jewish Board of Deputies and their Conservative and Labour cohorts.
