    Corbyn fans accidentally admit he's racist

    For those of you who follow UK politics, a rather interesting thought experiment was done by the Israel Advocacy Movement.

    They asked various people about things said by Jeremy Corbyn but pretended that Boris Johnson said them instead. The reactions were predictably negative. After finding out that Corbyn actually said them... let's just say the squirming was hilarious.

    Well to me that is dumb. If you believe a faith is a race then you would have to say Christian, Muslim, or any other faith is a race. It's like saying to me a man was born a woman because he feels like one. If you don't believe Christian is a race then how do you defend other faiths as a race.

    Maybe racist isn't the right word, but either way, these people readily accused the words said as bigoted, but when it turned out that Corbyn was the actual person who said them, most of them had excuses. Some of them did own up to judging Corbyn equally.

    You are correct racist is not the term that should be used. If I put 100 people with the same clothes, no symbols and asked you to tell me what faith they were, how do you think you would do?

    Fair enough. I don't like "race" being applied to Islam either.

    With Judaism, it's a weird combination of ethnicity and religion. To be fair, sometimes it seems as though this conflation is done for self-serving purposes.

    I recall a video some time ago where people were presented things Obama had said but told Trump had said them. They condemned Trump and excused Obama when told the truth.

    The idea that Corbyn is a racist is completely ludicrous. The malicious smear campaign being organized against Corbyn by Zionist fifth columnists inside Britain is nothing but a disgusting pile of lies.

    The guy who made that video is an outright liar. Hobson never said the Jews were a "peculiar and ugly race". Hobson never even mentioned Jews in Imperialism: A Study.

    A Zionist who lies? I'm shocked!
