RE: UK Labour Party Accused of Anti-Semitism
Hi, thank you for your comment. Personally, I think a small number of people are getting themselves into trouble by expressing their frustration with Israel's policies towards the Palestinians in inappropriate ways. I honestly do not think the majority of these people are really anti-semitic.
On the other hand, there are those who equate any criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.
Both are over reactions and inappropriate ways of portraying their political opponents.
We need to have tolerance of a diversity of opinions where political debate can be sharp but not resort to caricature and offence. Our elected politicians and especially the media could help by setting a much better standard in their public discourse.
Totally agree with you there. In an ideal world, parties of all persuasions would work together for the good of the country as a whole and forego all the mud slinging that is prevalent in politics today. I'm all for differing views but it becomes very childish sometimes as they sit in their Westminister bubble. Thanks for the conversation.
