Labor were once a great party. David Ben Gurion, Golda Meir, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres are all legends. However after losing 80% of their voterbase in the last 5 years, whatโs the point in them now? Why can't they just fade into the history books like the long list of other defunct Israeli parties of the early decades of the state? Theyโre about as willing to revive the Israeli left as Orly Levy or Gantz.
I do believe thereโs a gap in the market for a center-left party somewhere between Meretz and Yesh Atid on the political spectrum, but Labor isnโt that party and hasnโt been for a long time. Wouldnโt it be better just dissolve, start a new party with a new apparatus and new politicians?
Here's the quote:
"Dale: Do you believe that Jeremy Corbyn is anti-Semitic himself?
Nahmias-Verbin: Unfortunately and sadly, I believe that he [Corbyn] is anti-Semite [sic] himself, he really is not concerned with being balanced when it comes to Israel-Palestinian issues, but more importantly, he is, maybe, anti-racist, you know, I really didnโt see any indications for that, real indications for that, but his is anti-Semite [sic], and unfortunately, the Jewish community, the wonderful Jewish British community here, who really want to remain both identities [sic], to stand strongly by both identities, feel unsafe when it comes to the option that Mr. Corbyn should go into Number 10 [Downing Street]. And I think that indicates more than anything else, that we are dealing with something that is very untypical, and definitely, definitely, has nothing to do with Labour party values. What kind of, really, what kind of values do you share, Mr. Corbyn, with those terrorists, what kind of Labour party values do you share with those inhumane people?"
Here we go:
- Calls a pro-Palestinian anti-Semitic because he lacks balance( Balance only applies when people are pro-Palestinian.)
- Proceeds to call Palestinians terrorists and inhumane people(In other words sub-human but hey she's pro-Israeli so no balance needed and she can't be racist)
- She implies British Jews have dual loyalty(Anti-Semitic trope)
One paragraph and she makes a fool of herself.
She also says an Israeli Prime Minister can't be racist.
>Iโll tell you a personal story. Last summer I traveled [with my wife] to the USA for a vacation. I graduated from a Jewish school in New York. And we went to meet friends. I have a ton of friends in the U.S.A. And I encountered something that I called an actual plague. I saw my friendsโ children married or coupled with non-Jewish partners! And the parents beat their breasts and ask questions, and are suffering. Listen, itโs every [Jewish] family in the U.S.A.! And we are talking about millions. And I said there must be a campaign, a solution. We have to rack our brains to figure out how to solve this great challenge.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 71%. (I'm a bot)
