The latest victims of Keir Starmer’s politically-motivated purge of Labour Party members – using anti-Semitism as the excuse – are left-wing Jews.
It is perfectly possible for Jewish people to be anti-Semitic, of course.
This Site took Starmer to task for taking donations from one such anti-Semite only two days ago, at the time of writing.
The fact that he takes cash from an anti-Semite (and has apparently ignored demands for him to hand back the money), while victimising innocent people merely highlights the hypocrisy at the heart of his New Pale Blue Labour.
That’s right – innocent people.
Here’s one:

I urge you to read the articles to which these tweets link – to understand the reasons for the suspension and why they are wrong.

This is not the first time this acclaimed mathematician and philosopher has had his Labour membership suspended. There was no substance to those accusations either.
The other high-profile Jewish suspension was that of Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi – for being “the wrong kind of Jew”, as this video makes clear:

It wouldn’t surprise me if the video above is the reason for her suspension, even though there is no offensive material in it (unless you’re one of Labour’s current hard-right leadership).
Commentators have drawn the obvious conclusion – that Starmer’s Labour Party is inherently, institutionally anti-Semitic:
The current iteration of the Labour Party is declaring itself not only overtly hostile to leftists but also any Jews who demand the right to think for themselves. If systemic purges of Jews from the Party isn’t anti-Semitism, I do not know what is: https://t.co/1PkkqNiAEj

HOW has it come to this?
Leftwing Jews are being ignored except to be suspended in Starmer’s Party
Starmer accepts as holy writ the demands of pro-Tory, pro-Trump, pro-Netanyahu Board of Deputies
Starmer treats with contempt the many leftwing Jews who deplore Board’s actions

Maybe I am getting this wrong but labelling jewish people who back Corbyn as 'self-hating jews' and putting them on a list of 'bad Jews' is pretty offensive.

It really has come to something when people supposedly fighting anti-semitism are cheering the suspension of a Jewish socialist who supports Mr Corbyn. Makes you think, eh?! Some nasty people about imo.

2/2 in the Tory Party! Her honesty has been rewarded with a kick in the teeth! Cannot believe what Labour has become! WHEN WE NEEDED YOU MOST, you were nowhere to be seen! Brexit in less than a month & you're too busy with this????

So many of the people suspended from Labour for alleged “antisemitism” are JEWS
It is a kind of madness
Antisemitism is not really the issue here, is it?
This is really about power
The abuse by Starmer & co of the serious issue of antisemitism is sickening https://t.co/swJxC8wHGi

All in all, Starmer is just an elite brick in an establishment wall. Sorry, Roger. https://t.co/pOG2ENgl93

But then, what can you expect from a party that takes huge amounts of money in donations from an anti-Semite?
Meanwhile – and connected: Twitter’s harassment of left-wing political voices continues. After Kerry-Anne Mendoza’s accounts were restored to her, she found herself forced to say this:
And the latest target of the vexatious campaign to suspend left-wing @Twitter accounts is @Cornish_Damo
Someone needs to take action on this. It’s a clear abuse of the reporting process designed to suppress free speech of anti-racists, by racists. It’s targeted harassment.

It didn’t last long but by now we’re getting used to the tactic and learning how to fight it:
Complain to Twitter UK CEO @Cornish_Damo it is a breach of s1 Protection from Harassment Act and Twitter are complicit in that harrasment by failing to investigate. Make a SAR to Twitter too. pic.twitter.com/OIORorPCBO
