Anti-Semitism in the British Labour Party

He had a swipe at people who had and have been berating him , wrongly and relentlessly for months , for being a racist. Does that mean he is an antisemite ? Nope it means he's only human. If he truly was an antisemite you wouldn't have been forced , like all of the other groups seeking to derail his leadership of the Labour party , to scrape the barrel for evidence of it

BTW you calling out anyone over alleged racist views is rich............. change Jew to Muslim and ask yourself about the moral integrity in your views and perspectives

I have no problem with Muslims. Corbyn has a problem with Jews.

"This was classic anti-Semitism. Here were a group of Jews with whom Mr. Corbyn has a political disagreement. And he smeared them not on the basis of that disagreement but on the basis of their ethnicity. He accused them of failing to assimilate English values, of not fitting in, of still being a bit foreign. Had they been Christian Zionists, he could not have insulted them in this way.
The video was a watershed for many. Daniel Finkelstein, a Tory peer and columnist for The Times of London, called the revelation “qualitatively different from anything that has come before.” Ben Judah, a Labour-voting author, said that “the nasty comment from Mr. Corbyn on ‘Zionists’ not getting ‘English irony’ has finally snapped the benefit of the doubt extended by many Jewish progressives.”
A writer for The Guardian, Simon Hattenstone, who has repeatedly defended Jeremy Corbyn against charges of anti-Semitism, called his speech “unquestionably anti-Semitic.” And it wasn’t just the Jews. George Monbiot, a giant of the British left, described the comments as “anti-Semitic and unacceptable.”. . . ."
 
Michael is a famous children's author. I'm not sure if he's a labour party member. He's n=been labeled self-hating, among other epithets from the fascist zionists.

1. Zionist is a political word. 2. Anyone can be a Zionist. Not just Jews. 3.Corbyn said they lacked historical knowledge and/or because they are Zionists, is why, even though they are English, they didn't 'get' the irony. Not because they are Jewish.

Shameful excuse-making.

British police probe allegations of anti-Semitism by Labour Party membersBy William Booth

LONDON — British police launched an inquiry into allegations that some members of the Labour Party may have committed anti-Semitic hate crimes, police said Friday.
The Metropolitan Police are acting on a dossier of information handed over to investigators at the broadcast office of LBC Radio in London two months ago.
The file was reported by British media to be an internal document assembled by the Labour Party itself, detailing 45 instances involving messages posted by party members on social media and other forums.
One of the posts read: “We shall rid the Jews who are a cancer on us all.” Other alleged examples of anti-Semitic speech in the dossier were the use of slurs, including calling someone a “Jew boy” and another a “Zionist Extremist.”
Police Commissioner Cressida Dick stressed Friday that the Labour Party itself was not under criminal scrutiny. . . .
