There's plenty, probably too much, anti-Israel sentiment in the Labour Party
Far too often this is confused with anti-semitism, not to say there isn't anti-semitism because there is in both labour and Tories
Indeed.
The particular tweets/comments etc. made by Livingstone and Shah are certainly anti-Israel. Do they display hatred of the Jews as a religious or ethnic group? No.
This is not to say that I don't think Livingstone's comments weren't stupid - they were. Anyone who brings Hitler into a discussion about anti-semitism is on very thin ice from the off.
