@Voline @cstross I suspect, historically speaking, this criminalisation of Palestine Action will end up ranking with Tony Blair taking the UK into the Iraq war as some of Labour's most self-harming acts.

@Voline @cstross Also, I feel the need to say this: I am not saying Labour never had a problem with anti-semitism. Although it was never as bad as it was painted to be by groups to whom its disarray was profitable. But the overreaction to Palestine Action has been a consequence of that mindless, knee jerk overreaction. And it is, in itself, profoundly antisemitic because it is not a rational response. It is an absurd, fantasmatic response to a underlying sense of guilt. 1/
