strangely familiar and reminds me of AWLs 'contribution' to left-wing politics

scandelous isn't it? Leslie Bunder gives them a thorough and timely critique of the BoD over on www.somethingjewish.com where he says "No-one is perfect and Livingstone himself far from it, but by focusing on this matter and trying to make it into an even bigger thing than what it really was, shows the Board has more time on its hands to further show how undemocratic and how unrepresentative they really are of the Jewish community...Most people I have spoken to in the six months or so since the incident came to light feel that it was a small matter that exploded and not something to get worried or concerned about, let alone want to see the Mayor brought to task over.It exploded because it was the agenda of the Evening Standard to make an issue out of it for their own gain. They have a well-publicised feud with the Mayor, this gives them further ammunition to use against him. It's a classic newspaper ploy but it's not something the Board of Deputies should be involved in."
but anyway. whatever the outcome for Livingstone, it's certain that the BoD will also not come away from this encounter with a squeaky clean image, esp. after recently settling out of court for repeating the unfounded US-led accusations that a Palestinian charity was operating in the UK as a terrorist organisation, and both US and Israel Govt. Ministers worked through the Board of Deputies of British Jews for their respective countries' political agendas, whilst Jewish groups such as the Jewish Commission for Racial Equality (JCRE) and the Jews for Justice for Palestine (JFJFP) currently present (in my opinion) a balanced political/spiritual representation of the Jewish voice in Britian, yet they have hardly any media coverage for their views. it probably has something to do with Nick Cohen. but anyway. i digress somewhat.

I doubt any of the contributors on this thread would support Livingstone’s indefensible positions on RMT industrial disputes, less still be a "Livingstone groupie".
Personally I think that leftwing moods in the population can, on occasion, express themselves through flawed individuals. I also feel that when such politicians come under fire from the most reactionary sections of the mainstream press there is no question of which side socialists should be on.
Am I being unreasonable?
