1/ What Corbyn leaves out is often as telling as what he says. The industrialised murdeer of 6 million Jews doesn't figure (afaik) in his speech, essentailly about how most Jews went from "good" to "bad."
It's why he wanted to remove the "Holocaust" from the Memorial Day.

2/ "It was Zionism that rose up, and it was Zionism the drove THEM into this ludicrous positon THEY have at the present time. For example..." - then he picks two of what he sees as the worst JEWS out to emphasise his point.
The Jews are the "they" and the "them."
Obviously.
The Jews are the "they" and the "them."
Obviously.
3/ Remember that 93% of British Jews are either Zionist or Zionish. When Corbyn refers to "they" & "them" he's putting over 9 out of 10 Jews in the frame. He dehumanises them, from good trade unionists & socialists to evil, racist Zionists.
"For example, take these two Jews.."
"For example, take these two Jews.."
4/ On this video, the "Jewish tradition" he's "interested in" is anti-Zionism; equated to compassion and humanitarianism. Thus the rest of us, the 90% or so must represent an evil, racist tradition.
A great many of his supporters think like that too.

5/ It's the narative pushed in the pro-Corbyn blogs and media outlets, the FB forums, on Twitter, in CLP motions - a huge anti-Zionist ecosystem waging a disinformation war on the British Jewish community has unleashed a torrent of antisemitic rhetoric into British public life.
6/ So when you hear Jewish people say they are starting to feel unwelcome in this country, that's why.
