Jeremy Corbyn

The extremely negative report of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on antisemitism in the UK Labour Party was published on October 29. The partyโ€™s former chairman, Jeremy Corbyn, criticized it, saying allegations of antisemitism had been dramatically overstated for political reasons. He was thereupon suspended as a party member. Since then he has been reinstated, but party chairman Sir Keir Starmer has refused to take him back in the Labour parliamentary faction. Corbyn thus continues to sit in the House of Commons as an independent MP.
Dissent inside the British Labour Party has increased following the recent broadcast of a BBC Panorama documentary on antisemitism within the partyโ€™s ranks. One-third of Labour members of the House of Lords published an advertisement attacking Corbynโ€™s position on antisemitism.ย A great majority of Labour staff members accepted a motion against the party leadershipโ€™s attitude toward employees. As many of Corbynโ€™s opponents prefer to fight the ineffectiveness of Labour leadership on the antisemitism problem rather than leave the party, this internal battle is unlikely to go away any time soon.
No organization in Europe can rival the British Labour party for the promotion of antisemitic hate, rendering it an ideal case study. As soon as the picture of Labourโ€™s antisemitism appears reasonably complete, massive stores of new data emerge.ย The forthcoming investigation of Labour by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is likely to provide one of historyโ€™s most profound analyses of antisemitism within a single organization.
Conspiracy theories can usually be found in anti-Semitic environments. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is a terrorist sympathizer, supporter of Holocaust distorters, anti-Israel inciter, and part-time anti-Semite. He has also promoted conspiracy theories about Israel. Years ago, senior Labourites were heard to promote anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. Nowadays conspiracy theories targeting Jews, Israel, and others are being heard once again in Labour circles.
The intense public discussion on anti-Semitism in the UK Labour party has almost entirely overshadowed the problem of the huge risk a Corbyn-led government would represent to the Western world. Corbyn, a terrorist sympathizer, and various problematic associates of his would gain access to intelligence gathered by the British security services. How safe would it then be for other Western countries to continue to share high-level intelligence with their British colleagues?
Over the past two and a half years a major debate has developed about anti-Semitism in the British Labour party. Jeremy Corbyn, the party leader, is a supporter of murderous and even genocidal terrorists and is a supporter of Holocaust deniers and distorters. He is furthermore an anti-Israel inciter and part-time anti-Semite.ย Many insights can be gleaned from the Labour anti-Semitism debate, and several are crucially important to the UK and the Western world at large.
