    Why is the Left so very determined to oppose Israel, and in fact the Jewish race, every chance they can contrive for it ?

    Seriously, Pete, I'd like to know.

    The Left over here in the UK does much the same. In fact, the British Labour Party has recently been embroiled in an 'anti-Semitic' scandal. See this:

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a8320641.html

    Jewish community leaders have hit out at Jeremy Corbyn after a crunch meeting to discuss antisemitism in the Labour Party, describing the talks as “disappointing and a missed opportunity”.

    Following a highly-charged meeting in Parliament, the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) and the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BoD) said Mr Corbyn had "failed to agree to any of the concrete actions" they had demanded he take.

    The meeting was an attempt to defuse the row over anti-Jewish abuse in Labour, which Mr Corbyn has said he has an "absolute determination" to stamp out.
    ... in a joint statement following the two-hour meeting, the two Jewish community groups said: "Our meeting with Jeremy Corbyn today was a disappointing missed opportunity regarding the problem of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.

    The meeting was attended by Board of Deputies president Jonathan Arkush and Jewish Leadership Council chair Jonathan Goldstein.

    They had previously asked Mr Corbyn and Labour's new general secretary, Jenny Formby, to take a range of actions, including resolving the antisemitism cases against Ken Livingstone and Jackie Walker, setting a fixed timetable for dealing with other disciplinary matters, instructing MPs not to share a platform with anyone suspended or expelled by the out the party for anti-Jewish abuse.

    They also asked Labour to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, and agree to "transparent oversight" of disciplinary cases.

    The two groups said Mr Corbyn's team had not agreed to any of the demands, although this was disputed by Labour.

    Addressing reporters afterwards, Mr Goldstein said: “We are extremely disappointed that, one month after we issued a very sensible and well thought-through series of proposals, not one of them – not one of them – has been given to the Jewish community."

    He added: “Every excuse given by Mr Corbyn and his team was wrapped up in process. Here we have a leader of the Labour Party who has control of the national executive and who has undoubted strength and control over his party. So we feel the excuses of process are just another excuse for inactivity. That’s why we say we will judge him on his actions, not his words.”

    A spokesperson for the JLC added: "This isn’t asking much – that we as a community ask for the protection and support of the leadership of the party, in the same way as the leader would support any other minority group."
    I'm getting the idea that the Left is uniformly anti-Semitic, clear across the globe.

    Pete ... explain WHY this is
