Open Letter to Jeremy Corbyn – It’s Time To Admit that Under Your Leadership Thousands of Labour Members were Victim of False Allegations of Anti-Semitism

If You had Fought Back Against The Zionists’ False ‘Anti-Semitism’ Narrative Keir Starmer Would Not Be Prime Minister Today

Open Letter to Jeremy Corbyn

Three months ago I proposed to Jackie Walker, Marc Wadsworth and Chris Williamson that we send a joint letter to Jeremy Corbyn saying that it was time for him to admit that the ‘anti-Semitism’ narrative that was used to destabilise his leadership had no basis in fact and was devised purely to destroy his leadership. The chosen instrument was the Jewish Labour Movement which was refounded in 2015.

Marc Wadsworth's response to the idea of an open letter

Although Marc was at first on board with us he then decided to do his own thing, citing his memoirs as an excuse for not joining us. We also approached Asa Winstanley, a journalist on Electronic Intifada, who was suspended and forced to resign and Anne Mitchell, the former Chair of Brighton & Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign, who was expelled, to add their names. Ctd....

Absolutely; saying 'sorry' was a huge mistake that was self-destructive for the whole left that had got behind him.

The blame game...

We don't know presently what the sequence of events were but I strongly suspect as mooted below, that when Assad reached for the Army it just wasn't there: that major players in the military hierarchy had been already purchased.

Faced with that it didn't matter about any foreign assistance as there was nothing: no Syrian military to actually assist.
He decided it was game over as whatever part of the army still faithful to him were nowhere near enough and that he might destroy Syria in a war he was bound to lose...thus his decision to exit. You can call that "cowardly" if you wish but perhaps the idea was with him gone it might save the country from further trauma?

Alas...Assad taking himself out the picture hasn't improved anything: with any existing air cover gone its free bombing for Israel...which has decided to "Demilitarise" Syria completely no matter who left or what faction was likely to be in charge...and looking at the passport service up in smoke, they are apparenty now moving on to destroying the civil infrastructure and bureaucracy too with what looks like the aim of creating a permanent failed state.

Meanwhile the land of Syria: one of the cradles of civilisation looks likely to become a mere rehashed canvas backdrop for a savage Jahadi faction war with the US and Turkey clearly arming funding and thus controlling several headchopping outfits each.

-The future looks seriously awful for Syrians.

Full workload as Rabbi-Pope I suspect, telling Jews they aren't Jews and Protestants that they aren't Christians: it's bloody hard work "telling" folk.
