Most ordinary Labor voters thought that charges of anti-Semitism against Corbyn's Party were exaggerated. It arose out of competitive virtue signalling whereby anti-Zionist Jews like Norman Finklestein or Gilad Atzmon keep shifting the boundary of 'right on' political correctness which forced non-Jewish Lefties to adopt more and more demented language.
However, Luciana Berger- who will be going into labor soon and is thus a genuine proletarian- has quit the Party after being at the receiving end of horrendous abuse from senior people in her own Constituency Party. This is tantamount to a pregnant woman being forced out of her own home by racist abuse. A line has been crossed. Even Ash Sarkar had something nice to say about Luciana earlier today.
There are a couple of other Labour MPs who have quit the Party since the election because they feel let down over sexual harassment or other similar allegations. A couple of them have raised anti-semitism as an issue- as did senior statesman Frank Field when he dramatically quit the party over a year ago. Clearly, two things are happening simultaneously in the Labour Party. One is political correctness of the sort that makes a big deal about silly Facebook posts from a decade ago. The other is a virulent anti-Zionism which has made the Party a hostile environment for Jews.
What is the way forward? Why can't we all just agree to gang up on the Iyengars? It is they who are using a simple Maratha boy- Leo Varadkar- to illegally occupy Iyerland.
