Attacks against the UK Jewish community now the highest since records began in 1984, does Corbyn really care?

In a word, No
I note that the link actually mentions "publicity regarding alleged anti-Semitism in the Labour Party" rather than blaming the Labour party per se.
Anti-semitism comes from extreme Moslems, far right groups such as BF, as well as the idiotic statements from people such as Ken Livingstone and others in the Labour Party which I think amount more to anti-Zionism than anything.
Much as I am not a fan of Corbyn, blaming him for this seems a bit harsh.
Depends on the definition of 'attack'. Somehow I cant see JC condoning physical attacks but as a known Hezbollah supporter the I would expect him to be ok with verbal.

As the Community Security Trust is on the side of the Jews and funding clearly relies on continued tension I would be a bit suspect of any claims from them. I'd like to see the evidence, such as Police figures, if they have any.

ichi; are you drawing a veil over his infamous, "our friends at Hezbollah" utterance?
A daft (if possibly factual) remark, but not "anti-Semitic" as such
There have been several accusations made about this:-

It does seem to be almost official Labour party policy.
no they don't care, anything to get into power it would seem. Disregard for the Jewish community, Momentum taking control, its all there.
it impresses their Hamas/Hezbollah friends.
//Disregard for the Jewish community, Momentum taking control, its all there. //

I agree and let us not forget the labour Brownshirts to enforce policy either.

It is all starting to sound worryingly familiar.
And the head of Momentum is ...
Christian, Moslem, Hindu, er ... Jewish?
Just a small point but worth repeating I think.

It isn't possible to be a friend of Hezbollah and be anything other than anti-Jewish.

ichi 2; Lansman is an atheist.
No doubt but if Labour was institutionally anti-Semitic I don’t think there’d be a place for Jews, even atheist Jews in the party.
Reminds me of the old home about the sectarian gunman asking his potential victim if he was a catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist.
As for Hezbollah they have friends in strange places. It is important not to confuse taking sides on Israel/Palestine with anti Semitism
