The part of Jeremy Corbyn’s Speech which received the greatest cheer
was on Palestine

It’s good to see that the
supporters of the world’s only apartheid state, Labour Friends of Israel, know
how to reward their friends.  As today’s Jewish
Chronicle reports ‘The warmest welcome at
the event was reserved for Iain McNicol Labour’s General Secretary who appeared
on stage alongside the speakers.’

This is quite right.  McNicol has done more than anyone else to
support the Zionist cause.  It really is gratifying
to know that McNicol has received due recognition of his achievements.  McNicol has suspended literally thousands of anti-Zionists,
sorry anti-Semites, in the past year. 
Merely to mention the word ‘Zionism’ other than in a completely
laudatory and approving fashion was likely to get you turfed out of the party
or suspended at the very least.
On the other hand when it came to
the abusive Mike Foster, who accused Jeremy Corbyn of being on a par with the Gestapo
and SS combined, it took a full 2 weeks before McNicol got around to
reluctantly suspending him.
One good piece of news was that Jeremy
Corbyn didn’t attend this nest of vipers and racist backstabbers.  Amusingly when their corrupt Chair Joan Ryan
MP read out a message from Corbyn she was interrupted with ‘where is he, why is he not here.’ 
Quite right too.   Doesn’t this
fella Corbyn realise that attendance at the Labour Friends of Apartheid is
compulsory.
In the Blair years, Labour
Friends of Israel believed that they ran the Labour Party.  It is quite disconcerting to find out that
maybe you don’t own the Party.  One can
only hope that next year Tom Watson will gently escort Corbyn to the reception.
One really gratifying piece of
news was that Corbyn finally mentioned Palestine in his speech. And this was,
as the Guardian reports, rewarded with the loudest cheer of the speech.  This must have gone down like a lead balloon with
‘perjurer’ Jeremy Newmark and his side kick Mike Katz. 
What is shows is that despite the
anti-Semitism witch-hunt for the past 2 years Labour members are becoming
resilient to the false anti-Semitism smears and if anything it is having the
opposite effect of getting people more clued up about the situation in Israel/Palestine!
