There is no question that Germany wanted to expel the Jews and that no one else in Europe or America wanted them hence discussions along the lines of the Lublin and Madagascar plans.
Aside from being a bit clumsy, tell me exactly what Livingstone said that is factually incorrect? (and I am no fan of Livingstone whatsoever).

In defence of Naz Shah
No. It’s completely over the top [but] it’s not antisemitic. Let’s remember, when Hitler won his election in 1932 his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism. [He then] went mad and ending up killing 6 million Jews

I'd call it a case of expressing blatant ignorance on what the actual so-called "cooperation" of Hitler was about. The main aim was to ruin German Jewry altogether, by grabbing most of their funds in a simple rip-off deal.
Primarily it was supposed to serve the breaking of the international anti-Nazi boycott
In the context of what seems to be creeping into the Labour Party, it was an abhorrent thing to say. The relationship between the Jews and Hitler can, and should only be discussed in relation to the slaughter of millions of innocent people.

Why? Why is this the only context in which it can be discussed? What context in the Labour Party? Are we heading towards another da Mooslims scenario here or is it going to be da libruls this time?
See above (inquiry into alleged anti-semitism). Why are you bringing up Muslims? Funny, George Galloway was defending his comments last night. If you really can't see why conflating Hitler with Jews, in this way, then there are no depths to your insensitivity......and manipulation of facts.

I'm trying not to be an ass about this but, it is really difficult. I don't understand what those who are criticising Labour actually want? My question was perhaps thinking that the number of Muslims in Labour was part of the problem? PEW research suggests that perhaps 10% of the British public view Jews unfavourably are you suggesting that all of these people are in the Labour party and no other political party in Britain?
How exactly did you leap to conflating Hitler with Jews? The fact is that the Zionists actually entered into negotiations with the Nazi regime, is it wrong to point that out?
I'll ignore the cheap shot about how sensitive I am or am not and pretty much disengage from you gunner. Your posting attitude is tabloidesque at best and it hasn't changed much over the months.
In view of what was already known of the background at the time, it was a lousy example to pick. The motive was plunder and I'd be surprised if Livingstone is unaware of this. His ignorance consisted of citing merely the fact that the Nazis were doing a deal and presenting it in a manner as though they were in the least bit interested in the further plight of the very citizens they were plundering.Why is it ignorance? It is documented fact that Zionists at the time were promoting a return to Israel and that Hitler was at least discussing terms for this, regardless of motive.
"The Sun" rises in the gutter each morning and, barely having reached any point of greater elevation, sinks in it at night. :mrgreen:Shockingly he, along with the far left of his party, turns out to be a bigot. Who knew?

In other breaking news, the Sun will rise in the East tomorrow and set, so I'm told, in the West.

I'm no fan of Livingston but on this issue I agree with him. Israel has become the very thing that they were nearly wiped out by and I think Livingston probably speaks for most British people in regards to how we feel about Israel.
Fortunately no, the majority of the British public are not yet antisemites. You'll have to wait several decades before you can establish the fourth Reich I'm afraid, Higgins.
- I think Livingston probably speaks for most British people in regards to how we feel about Israel.
I don't recognise this among the Brits I work with daily and I'm really surprised to read that from you?
You think most of the UK supports Israel's humanitarian record?
I mean we have never been close allies with Israel.
I don't think many Brits even know where Israel is let alone know much about her. I'd say the same about most other countries including the number of Brits who even know how many countries there are in the UK.
As for humanitarian record - this is going to get the thread shifted to the ME section but I have very few qualms about Israel's record - and she has been involved in humanitarian efforts around the world.
It's a shame their humanitarian aid doesn't make it across to Gaza.
Where do you think all the spare parts, water etc come through?
As for the rest, I think you need to look at all the offers of peaceful cooperation and coexistence Israel has made since her inception. None of her offers of peace have been accepted; even now if the Gazans voted peacemakers in rather than Hamas people they would find progress happening pretty quickly.
