Btw,'still going on about it, eh?' was directed at Jones, not you John, in case that wasn't clear.

Never occurred to me that it was directed at me.

I think Jones is genuinely horrified at the genocide going on in Gaza and at western complicity. He's doubtless also concerned about being on the right side of history.

I don't think he acknowledges the role he played in undermining the left by actively participating in the weaponisation of antisemitism.
