^ Corbyn bashing from the right wing press, no evidence of institutional racism from a Labour Party member...move along

ok, maybe it is for someone who may not be Jewish(?) and hasn't followed this issue in depth for years. But as a Jew who has followed this closely and, like many other Jews (of course not all and I don't speak for everyone) but:
- As a general community it is clear that we feel attacked and many people do not feel that they can vote Labour because it is not a friendly place to be as a Jew. That seems to be greeted with a great shrug from many people who bizarrely simultaneously define themselves as 'For the Many not the Few'. Shameful.
- Saying that the press unequally weight it as an issue is majorly problematic. You must be aware of the antisemitic trope that Jews control the media right? So is it the Jews who are behind this devious unequal weighting in the media? Whats the reason for it? Why are the media controlling Jews so hellbent on attacking Corbyn? Or does it just plain not exist and race hate towards Jews is a grave problem that should be given as much airtime as possible
- Why can't people just believe us and support us instead of telling us to prove ourselves first? It is not acceptable usually to go around telling other minorities that 'actually, no you are not the subject of race hate, stop being hyperbolic'. That would be unacceptable to other minorities so why to Jews? It was a major finding in the Stephen Lawrence case that recognised that minorities have the right and are always best placed to define their racism, due to the insidiousness and blurred, undefinable lines that are often inherent in racism, so why is this not applied to us?
- As a general community it is clear that we feel attacked and many people do not feel that they can vote Labour because it is not a friendly place to be as a Jew. That seems to be greeted with a great shrug from many people who bizarrely simultaneously define themselves as 'For the Many not the Few'. Shameful.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-30545824theres so much more where that came from, Ken Livingstone, etc etc.
Lets also be absolutely clear that whataboutery (ie, look at the Tories, they are bad too) is utterly irrelevant in the discussion of whether or not the Labour Party has an institutional problem with racism against Jews

No citation needed. Its a google search away and is a proven fact that antisemitism is an inherent problem in the Labour Party

La plagne is great, really good for family times and intermediate skiiers and if you want to go and get off piste there's some very serious terrain easily within reach. Because it's known as a family resort on a pow day you can still get fresh tracks on good routes after lunch!
Apres is excellent and relaxed enough too
