{UAH} KEN LIVINGSTONE DISCIPLINARY HEARING: ANTI-SEMITISM DEBATE IN THE LABOUR PARTY

Frank Mujabi, 

Have you been following the disciplinary hearing against Ken Livingstone? He is accused of anti-semitism, a charge he strenousluy denies. His claim, to which there is historical justification , is that Hitler supported Zionism, at least in the eraly stages.  There are many historians who still hold that Hitler too wanted a Jewish homeland, as he wanted a deportationl of all German jews, and he only resorted to the Holocaust when that did not happen.

But look at the comment on a link  I shared about the fate of christians in the Middle-East. It just shows the extent of the deep problems the Labour party still has in defining its relationship to the jews. Just because I post a link about the genocide of the christians in the Middle East does not mean I support the Zionist genocide against the Palestinians as this writer seems to suggest. In fact the two issues are seperate.

Rashid Kabigi Independent- Labour party member Bob Campbell denies suspension over Israel and Isis comments-

The incident is the latest in a series of alleged anti-Semitic events involving Labour Party members

A Labour activist who claimed that Isis is controlled by the state of Israel insists he has not been suspended by the party despite reports saying his membership had been revoked over the comments.

Bob Campbell, from Middlesbrough, said on Facebook just one day after the Brussels attacks that "Isis is run by Israel".

A day later, Mr Campbell posted a picture which claimed Isis has not attacked Israel "because the dog doesn't bite its own tail".

The Sunday Times reported that Mr Campbell was suspended after local MP Tom Blenkinsop found the comments and demanded an investigation.

However, Mr Campbell, who denies being anti-Semitic, told The Independent that he has not been suspended.

In addition to the two recent Facebook posts, Mr Campbell has also posted pictures comparing the Holocaust to the situation in Gaza, captioned "Holocaust the sequel…Please stop Israel".

He has also posted pictures depicting the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being hung from a tree and an Israeli flag adapted with an image of a rat featuring the words: "The real plague".

Mr Campbell has since denied posting the image of the rat.

"I post lots of pro-Jewish posts but I [also] post anti-Zionist posts," he said.

Mr Campbell is the latest person in a series of Labour Party members accused of anti-Semitism.

Earlier in March, member Vicki Kirby was also suspended pending investigation for allegedly posting anti-Semitic comments to Facebook.
