Last night on BBC QT one audience member was complaining the problem is the definition of anti-semitism currently being used. That would be the one that the Corbynites did not accept and Starmer is using.

What the questioner really meant in my opinion was that the definition needs to be loosened so she and her ilk can go back to being more openly anti-semitic.

As does your inability to explain it - we’re talking about two events which are the best part of 100 years apart.

The woman on question time made a perfectly valid point - anti-Zionism does not equal anti-semitism, and I suspect you and others who readily weaponise the accusation know that in reality.

I guess the overriding point is that no group or individual should be above criticism or justice.

This is something that both sides of politics should remember.

The left have only ever cared about these nuances once this form of commentary started to be applied to them.

They were and are perfectly happy to shout racist at their opponents so forgive me if I think what is happening.....while perhaps not fair.....is at least a form of long overdue karma.

They did the very same thing...held their nose and shouted racist at everything....They didn't care about truth, so why should anyone else care now.

Welcome to the party pal.

I find that severely lacking in principle, but each to their own.

I agree with this, but anyone on the left has an incredible nerve to lecture on free speech.

By this logic Kier Starmer is a Zionist.

The UK, Scottish, Welsh governments and The London Assembly use the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism. Initially Labour refused to use this and chose a variation, but adopted it after the Corbyn debacle.

It has no legal standing but if some in the Labour party are unhappy with it perhaps they should lobby the IHRA for changes.

I don't really get this.

Are you suggesting that anyone who happens to be Jewish cannot be criticised?

I know that seems to be what some people think, but it is clearly absurd. Criticism or opposition is not the same as racial or religious hatred.
Of course, that doesn't mean that the former can't be a result of the latter.

pretty soon, in Ireland, you will get crucified for expressing an opinion. And censorship coming thereafter to the UK and everywhere.

The British seem to have become disturbingly passive about their freedoms.
Only a few years ago, freedom was a big deal in Ireland.

The total irony is it is correct. Not the fact free speech is being curtailed; just the fact that every one of every colour, race, belief, political persuasion or binary choosing will be fair game I guess. No one can hide so at least “where all in this together” to quote Chevy chase rather than a no mark politician will be the order of the day. Of course there will be swerves and excuses but the good old media will help them on their way. TR will be pissing himself laughing
