“Global intifada means destroy israel and kill all the jews”
The level of bad faith here is unreal. Actual fucking ghouls.
With that said, they’re being so bad faith that it backfires on them, particularly when it comes to bringing up Israel at all. They can’t win by mentioning Israel, they’d be better off literally never mentioning Israel ever. This shit worked against Corbyn but the conditions have changed entirely as a result of what everyone has seen.
Oct 7th and everything since. In Corbyn’s time the “labour is antisemitic” line worked because a huge majority of people really had no idea what Israel were like. That has completely changed. Everyone has been confronted in some way or another with the “if you oppose what Israel are doing you’re antisemitic” line at this point and everyone has rejected it. All good and moral people have criticisms of Israel and can see that their own criticisms would have been accused of antisemitism during the period of time when labour was being ruthlessly attacked for it under Corbyn.
In short, the consciousness of it being bad faith is now widespread and dismissed by all. That consciousness only really existed among the hardcore elements of the actively political left back then.

We can do that too… “Am Yisrael chai” means kill all the Palestinians, and there is plenty of evidence that they are in the middle of doing just that.
What changed since corbyn comrade ?
