Regarding the polling, being level-pegging against a not very good government in mid-term, is not usually a good position for the Opposition.
This issue was never put to bed...it was just resting, until the next NEC meeting, when the diehards will resurrect Jeremy's preferred wording.
Then the flan hits the fan.
Which doesn't make it promising as a continued attack line.
Edit: Although thinking on it getting tired of hearing about it would probably just be part of the diminishing returns part anyway.
I think Corbyn's stance on Israel/Palestine is a bit too uncritically pro-Palestinian for my liking, but, even if he's PM, his stance on it isn't going to make a jot of difference to anything. We're in a time where (as Obama found) even the US has next to no impact on the issue, let alone Britain. It's really not worth the bed-wetting on either wing of Labour.
"Ivanka. We can't thank you enough."
If Jezza is so obsessed with Israel and its right to exist.
Then when will he give a speech outlining exactly what his government will do as far as foreign policy towards Israel?
Will the good offices of the Foreign Office be diverted to work with Iran?
I think the public should be told.
However they do make their presence felt at elections...

Nothing you can say must be allowed to diminsh what happened and how we welcomed them imto our Country. They are British and part of our society and must be made to feel safe.
Nothing else matters and Corbyn is wholly unfit to lead our Country

This will follow Corbyn and labour all the way to the next GE if he remains leader

And it shows you are in panic mode.
I am not senile and I think many on here would see that as an insult
I was alive in the war years and saw the Jews suffering. Were you
We know editors of the Sunday Telegraph and people who have a history of being obsessively pro-Israel don't like Corbyn, it is not what I think we'd call headline news.
Either way, it paints you as the lowest of the low.
I guess I thought disgusted of Tunbridge Wells was a stereotype rather than a curious interactive reality.
You sound like a Trump supporter.
And were you alive to witness the horrors the Jews experienced in the war. You would have a lot more sympathy if you had lived through those times

Very true. But it is absolutely amazing how much importance gets placed on the Israel - Palestine conflict in student politics when in reality there is absolutely sod all your student union can do about it. Doesn't stop them fighting about it though, tooth and claw...
Meanwhile, this might be the start of an interesting spat:

So you are wrong in the first four words, before we start on the rest.
SO we have a small number of complaints that amount to approx 0.01% of the membership and 99% of those that have come to light are in some way related to criticism of Israel. There might have literally been a handful of actual anti-semitic nutcases amongst hundreds of thousands of people , just as there are undoubtedly in the Tory party too.
Virtually everything that has been picked up on happened during the pre-Corbyn era anyway, and yet strangely noone seemed to have suggested there was a problem then.
As we know anti-semitic views are much more prevalent amongst Tory voters than amongst Labour voters.
Corbyn has a long history of supporting early day motions against anti-semitism, better than his critics.
Basically the whole thing is tired bullcrap from a bunch of exhausted and discredited establishment right-wingers who are finding their endless mission to smear and destroy Corbyn dying on its arse.
What of David Cameron? With this referendum he must be feeling like the couple who agreed to make home made porn. It sounded like a good idea at the time, he thought it would be fun to do, but now as he sits back and views his production, he must be thinking this hasn’t turned out how he expected it to turn out, whilst regretting his initial decision and feeling a bit nauseous about it all.

In case you are still on here, be in no doubt, anyone that supports Corbyn is a racist. Stop pretending that it doesn't exist you miserable excuse for a human being. Anti-semites are the scum of the earth and Corbyn is one. he will be called out on it again and again. He is scum
Week six, ring up to cancel, and they'll offer you a good deal to stay.
Otherwise register and you can read one article a week for free.
Even Tony Blair knows that:
"I never made my line of attack overly harsh. I always tried to make it telling. The aim was to get the non-politician nodding. I would wonder not what appealed to a Labour Party Conference in full throttle, but what would appeal to my old mates at the Bar, who wanted a reasonable case to be made .... Expressed like that, these attacks seem flat, rather mundane almost, and not exactly inspiring - but that's their appeal. Any one of these charges, if it comes to believed, is actually fatal. Yes, it's not like calling your opponent a liar, or a fraud, or a villain or a hypocrite, but the middle-ground floating voter kind of shrugs their shoulders at these claims. They don't chime. They're too over the top, too heavy, and they represent an insult, not an argument. Whereas the lesser charge, because it's more accurate and precisely because it's more low-key, can stick."

I am wholly opposed to Corbyn and his inner circle on many things, but to see Jews in our Country living in daily fear is just obnoxious to me and for that I cannot forgive him
Cobynites can call me senile but at least I did not suffer as the Jews did and I will always defend their right to live in peace and safety in our Country
(As an aside, I'd like to add that there are plenty of Jewish Corbyn supporters and also Jewish people who DO think this is a ridiculous and dangerous smear campaign that is doing damage to the real fight against anti-semitism, but all we seem to hear from in the media - I wonder why? - is right-wing pro-Israel groups and figures, who would be implacably opposed to Corbyn no matter what.)
