"Liberal" British lawmakers behaving like imbeciles again:

"Judea declares war on Germany. In Manhattan they had 100,000 people marching in the economic boycott in 1935, it was the same heretic rabbi who caused that,” the speaker accused of the American Jewish and Zionist leader, Wise.

In his rant, the speaker also reportedly told the audience to note a phrase attributed to Rabbi Wise by Holocaust deniers, which claims that in 1905 he told the New York Times “six million bleeding and suffering reasons to justify Zionism”.

The Israeli embassy condemned the convening as “a shameful event, which gave voice to racist tropes against Jews and Israelis alike”.

The speaker who also compared Israel to the terrorist group Islamic State while chastising Zionism.

I wouldn't have a political party in Britain as there is zero chance I would align with these cretins.

1. Another canary.

The Radical Left is inherently antisemitic. This will only get worse unless people move to fight it. Stop pretending that these people are Liberals. They aren't.

2. Just because YOU don't consider

them liberals doesn't mean they themselves and other don't identify them as liberals - especially when their party is called Liberal Democrat. I'm not the one pretending anything.

3. Regressive Left. They should own that title. n/t

4. Then Liberalism has become antisemitic.

Now what?

And in politics, people can call themselves anything that they want. That doesn't mean that some party that calls themselves Liberal actually has Liberal values. What these people are saying ins't Liberal.

5. Plenty of liberals

are antisemitic, plenty of conservatives are antisemitic - it's the hatred that knows no bounds, no party. It never has.

6. They don't mean

liberal as it means in the US, they mean Liberal as in classic Liberalism.

[aranthus]

7. My point is that despite what they call themselves,

that they aren't Liberal, classic or otherwise.

8. The Liberal Democrats should've taken out the trash a long time ago.

Tonge's views don't conform with the values of the Liberal Democrats. She should go UKIP.

I may be somewhat opposed to Israel's policies towards Palestinians, but it's not in any way for the same reasons as Tonge.
