His view should be swiftly condemned by Jeremy Corbyn. From twitter, it’s clear to me that the conspiracy theory that antisemitism in the Labour Party is trumped up is common within the party. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Many people seem to subscribe to the view that this is a crisis created by tories, the (Tory) Jewish press and communal orgs, (Tory) rabbis, and of course (fascist) Israel. Those points get put to me *all the time*. And Jews are getting blamed for conspiring *all the time*.
And what Serwotka and those people, who reject what Corbyn and Momentum, amongst many others, say about this being a real problem, fail to realise is that by claiming it’s a conspiracy they are - clearly - being antisemitic and building a case for institutional racism
This gets to the heart of the problem. The other day reported some Jewish people were discussing options over new year as to where to move if Corbyn was PM. The response from many was to blame the Jewish people for false consciousness and Jewish newspapers for exaggerating
👆🏼Blaming victims for reporting it is so clearly Anti-Semitism itself. Even if you believe that some reactions are over overblown, to fail to say ‘what can we do to make people feel better and solve the underlying problem’, and instead blame them for conspiring, is inexcusable
