The
Labour leader's opponents don't care about anti-Semitism. They'll
just do anything to remove Corbyn

Part
5 - Everyone's fight
The
third victim of this campaign is anyone, be they Palestinian or
Israeli, Muslim, Christian, or Jewish, who is identified and
targeted by Israel as a dissenter.
Let’s
just record what happened to Jewish American journalist Peter Beinart
at Ben Gurion Airport. Beinart, who has publicly expressed his
support for boycotting products manufactured in the settlements in
the occupied West Bank, was interrogated for an hour about his
political writings and activities .
"The
session ended when my interrogator asked me, point blank, if I was
planning to attend another protest," Beinart wrote. "I
answered truthfully: No. With that I was sent back to the holding
room." Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu immediately
rowed back and claimed Beinart’s interrogation had been an
"administrative mistake".
For US
Jews and indeed British ones, this is the real canary in the coal
mine. This is the path upon which Israel is headed, and the path
Israel is dragging the Jewish diaspora along. Speak up now and resist
it before it is too late. Corbyn's fight for his own integrity,
reputation and honesty is everyone’s fight.
If you
don’t, if you stand aside, if you stay silent, if you grin
knowingly and do nothing, you could be next.
