What courage and vision of truth that drove Robert Fisk to put such energy and persistence into finding out the fate of property lost to its rightful owners by the ethnic cleansing of post 2nd World War Palestine. Shameful in itself as that purge was, it was compounded by his vilification by Jewish groups in the UK when his (pre Murdoch) Times published his journalistic journeys. And it goes on.......Who orchestrated the "there is an anti Jewishness bias in the Labour party"? None of us ( well far fewer than in the Tory Party) are anti Jewish! We are very justified in being anti Zionist as we are anti racist, anti Fascist and anti ISIS. The Labour party stands for religious, racial and class tolerance which is why we cannot accept bigotry from which ever ethnic or political group sets itself up to demand special status for its own group to the unlawful and unethical detriment of others who stand in their way.
The election of Trump is a frightening reminder of early 30s Germany, alas.
