sorry, i want to be clear, my issue isn't with the internal machinations of the labour party, ultimately they do what they want and they're accountable for it,
my issue is the flattening of antiracist rhetoric between farcical examples which ignore the context that islamphobia and antisemitism have both plagued britain, and continue to do so, for years, often at times deliberately made to be in competition with each other for their own interests
i'm also not suggesting people should or shouldn't use the phrase in question - but merely rejecting that the ol "this is just like x" has had a poor outcome for marginalised groups historically and especially is not helpful to solving either anti black racism or other forms of racism. for reasons briefly mentioned above.
(exscuse me if my language or brief, or can be clippled in certain ways, i'm on a bike forum not in uni)

Let's take every one of your points as agreed.
Given the issues with antisemitism under Corbyn, is it reasonable to suspend and investigate a white English guy of Christian-Scottish origin when they use a phase many Jewish people view as antisemitic?
