Re: The Guardian smears Labour councillor as anti-semite in case of mistaken identity Archived Message Posted by Mary on November 8, 2019, 9:54 pm, in reply to "The Guardian smears Labour councillor as anti-semite in case of mistaken identity" This is Jonathan Freedland of course who made the smear. Q. What is a liberal Zionist? 'A leading liberal Zionist in the UK, he wrote in 2012 that he uses the word Zionism infrequently, as the word has been misunderstood and has become defined as right-wing. On the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict, he believes that military action perpetuates conflict and has called for negotiations to end the cycles of violence. He defends Israel's right to exist despite the dispossession of the Palestinians, but hopes that Israel will recognise the 'high price' paid by Palestinians. Freedland has accused the Labour Party in the UK of being in denial on the issue of antisemitism. He has urged the left to treat Jews "the same way you’d treat any other minority". He has also commented on the perceived antisemitic expressions of Palestinians with whom Corbyn has associated and expressed the view that many of the Labour Party's new members were hostile to Jews. Freedland has attracted some criticism for his views.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Freedland Message Thread: The Guardian smears Labour councillor as anti-semite in case of mistaken identity - johnlilburne November 8, 2019, 9:31 pm I hope the victim sues them into the stone age....nm - Keith-264 November 8, 2019, 9:36 pm Re: The Guardian smears Labour councillor as anti-semite in case of mistaken identity - Mary November 8, 2019, 9:54 pm Hope you've taken your Wikideceivia prophylactics, Mary!
