Not really surprising given his stance on matrersin the ME and the company he keeps. Lots of money spent on an inquiry to establish that bears defacate in forests.

False accusations of anti semitism are being used as a weapon by Corbyn's enemies. The Jewish community really shouldn't be encouraging false allegations.

// Since walking out of the launch of a report on anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, the Jewish Labour MP Ruth Smeeth has reported more than 25,000 incidents of abuse //



Whilst not condoning 25,000 incidents of abuse, Ruth Smeeth made a false claim of anti semitism on camera which went viral. People objecting to her false claims are not anti semitic.

Has she really?

[TheChair]

The report found that around 25% of antisemitism incidents come from the left, and 75% from the right. Naturally, they then chose to blame Jezza - I mean, it's only logical, isn't it?

[ToraToraTora]

there may well be false allegations gromit but there are plenty of real cases of anti semitism in the party and don't give me that old BS about it not being anti Semitic to want Israel wiped off the map. Yes I do know what zionism is.

[Gromit]

I have no doubt that, just like every other party, there are racists, sexists, misogynists, anti semites in Labour. But they are not a problem, because they are few and far between. If they were a major force, steering the party to dark place, then all this (false) concern would be meritted, but that is not what is happening.

[ToraToraTora]

few and far between? right oh! Barely a week goes by without some sort of incident!

[Gromit]

Tora,
Plenty of Jewish MPs are the victim of anti semitic trolls and bloggers. Not sure those are coming from the Labour Party. The ones that have been prosecuted tend to be far right nutjobs. Lucinda Berger MP, who often pops up in these reports is currently involved in two hate crime prosecutions, and the accused are both not Labour people.

Not often enough, it would seem, for you to get her name right :-)
