London – Former London Mayor Ken Livingstone called allegations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party “lies and smears” to bring down party leader Jeremy Corbyn and that it is “not anti-Semitic to hate the Jews of Israel.”

Nine Labour lawmakers quit the party last month over its failure to tackle the problem of hatred toward Jews among party supporters and leaders.
Livingstone was suspended by the Labour Party in 2016 and quit last year over comments about Hitler and Zionism. He told a meeting of Labour Against The Witchhunt last week, according to the Sunday Mail, that: “This is endemic. If you have a genuine socialist leader who is going to transform things for ordinary people and make the bloody corporations pay their fair share of tax – they will do whatever is necessary to stop you…”
“That means lies and smears in most of the West. In other parts of the world it can mean assassination,” the Sunday Mail reported Livingstone as saying.
Livingstone said that Corbyn’s office did not support his suspension from the party in 2016, after he said that Hitler supported Zionism. He also asserted that he was suspended because the press had spread “lie after lie after lie” about what he said.
“It’s not anti-Semitic to hate the Jews of Israel and you can’t have a proper functioning democracy in a world in which the media, whether it’s the press or internet, can just spread lie after lie after lie,” he said at the meeting, according to the Mail.
Speaking in April 2016, Livingstone said: “When Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews.”
Do you think we ought to correct him?
Sounds like Obama
Typical modern leftist
So It wouldn’t be racist to say” I hate all the Britons in Britain, all the Blacks in Somalia, all the Japanese in Japan”?
Hes unfortunately right with one and a half things. Hitlers henchmen adored Zionism. In fact Adolf Eichman said in one of his famous memoirs ; “If Id be a jew Id be an ardent Zionist”.
The other one is half wrong. U can hate Israel and not be an antisemite as Israel does NOT represent Jews but if u hate Israeli Jews, then ur a vile antisemite which he sounds very well to be.
But then why is he hating zionist Israelis who a trying to secure a homeland for themselves? Why doesn’t he support a powerful Israel so that all Jews should move to where we belong?
this is why the head Rabbi of England retired and is in the United States and is helping the CHABD with the Rebbe’s writings and speeches, and doing a fabulous job.
The ignorance of so many alt-yidden VIN posters is astonishing. It explains their complicity in the churban, their hatred for Zionist Israeli Jews who protect them, and their love for Dumb Donald today.
This POS drekk played the part that he likes Jews when needing their vote for mayor of London, may he drop into the earth speedily in our times, ASAP !!!
