Melech 9,900 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The Metropolitan police have made three arrests in an investigation prompted by a dossier detailing antisemitic social media messages allegedly posted by Labour party members. In a statement, Scotland Yard said that two men and a woman had been arrested during March on suspicion of publishing or distributing material likely to stir up racial hatred. Each has been released pending further inquiries. It is understood the people arrested were Labour members or suspended from the party at the time the complaint was made but are no longer members. The investigation was launched after the radio station LBC handed over the leaked dossier to the Met commissioner, Cressida ****, following an interview in September 2018. In a statement, Scotland Yard said: “On Tuesday 4 September, the Met commissioner was handed a folder of paperwork following a radio interview with LBC Radio in Leicester Square. “It is alleged that the documentation included evidence of antisemitic hate crimes.” It said the contents had been examined by specialist officers and a criminal investigation launched. A man in his 50s was arrested in Birmingham on 7 March, and a second man, also in his 50s, was detained in Tunbridge Wells on 14 March, police said. A woman in her 70s was arrested in Wandsworth, south London, on 21 March. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/mar/28/police-arrest-three-in-labour-antisemitism-case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS i mean they have been “released pending further enquiry” so they may not have done anything at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but making this critique of Israel isn't anti-setimetic and shouldn't be equated with anti-semitism. Critiques of the right-wing government of Israel's oppression of Palestinians and arabs aren't critiques of Judaism or the Jewish ethnicity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already acknowledged that they're making a critique of the Israeli government and not Jewish people by interacting with my post. 3 minutes ago, Melech said: There are countless of Jewish Labour members who speak about the antisemitism in the party.

You're 1. vastly overstating the criticism and 2. there are far more Jewish labour members and Jewish leftists that dismiss that criticism and don't agree with you. It's pretty obvious what you're doing here and it's not going to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just voted to stay affiliated with Labour a couple of weeks ago. Look, for whatever reason, you've devoted your life to relentlessly posting pro-Israel and Islamophobic propaganda on this forum, painting leftists as anti-Semitic for simply advocating for the rights of Palestinians, presenting a skewed reality in which arabs are hyper-religious, ignorant and violent (by posting story after story about isolated instances fo violence in various Arab nations) and leftists are foaming at the mouth for Jewish oppression. You just posted debunked propaganda and then went and tried to find something else to replace it after people pointed out that the story was false. I don't know why this is how you've chosen to spend your time, but it's transparent and unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still disagree, I think a large number of antizionists are Jewish themselves.
