Say what you will about the Labour Party of that time, they had a sense of party discipline in pursuit of power. The Blairite wing have been flapping about in an extended tantrum and repeatedly undermined their own leader and party messaging when the whole country should be focused on the slow motion train wreck across the aisle.
They’re mad because Corbyn has sucked up their natural constituency of professionals who are socialist dilettantes.

If (big if) Corbyn can thread the needle on Brexit and get it delayed and a second referendum Independent Group isn't going to have much. "Labour should be nicer to Israel I mean Jews good British Jews" will not win them seats.

Yes you do get another vote regardless of the polls. Every 4 years. Its called elections. The polls for a referendum are overwhelming and it will be a landslide to remain. The enemies of democracy are stopping it.
True Corbyn.

When the left are extreme nationalist jew haters not listening to the majority of their own suporters the centre kind of have a point. Most left people want to remain in the EU. The extreme left leaders are not listening because of a warped idiology that makes them not all that different from the extreme right.
Almost every single statement, assertion and assumption in those 3 short lines is flat out wrong.

Going to explain?

Is corbyn not a nationalist? Is corbyn not anti jew? Is corbyn not pro brexit? The extreme right and left are incredibly similar except one is a cheerleader for the poor and the other a cheerleader for the rich.

Which one

Corbyn is a racist anti Semite

Corbyn against what his party and labour supporters want, wants to leave the EU and doesn't want a second referendum.

Corbyn is a left wing nutter extremist

Tough s**t if the Israel defence legion don't like him. It's not his job to make them feel good about the occupation.

Criticism will only end when Palestine is given independence or Palestinians get full Israeli citizenship and representation in the Knesset. Corbyn can't make either of those happen; the power is in Israel's hands.

Nobody pretended David Cameron and Stephen Harper were monsters for believing Sri Lanka should ease up on abusing the Tamils.

"Is he a nationalist?"

He could go all in on English nationalism when the next Scottish independence referendum happens.

In what alternative universe?

One thing no one disagrees with inside labour and otherwise. He hates Jews and seems to be friendly with even tinpot Muslim terrorist he can find.
Complete bs, a lie dreamed up in desperation and spouted for the first time as a stick to beat him with when his blairite enemies inside and outside the party suddenly realised the party was going to elect him as leader.
And used thereafter both for that purpose and as a way of forcing the party into a pro-Israel stance under the guise of an anti-semitism policy (the absolute very last thing Israel wants is an alternate PM with an even-handed approach to Israel and Palestine).
And now used again for that purpose by the blairite Rat-runners to hide their real reason for leaving, namely to jump before the party members threw them out.

But this already exists in Israel.

There are arab seats in the knesset, high court, heck they even represented miss Israel once at a miss universe contest.

Arab Israelis have israeli citizenship and enjoy more rights than they would otherwise have in neighbouring arab countries.
