2/5 It was simply an ignorant comment designed to humiliate Jewish people and play to the gallery. There is nothing in Jewish law, tradition or culture to restrict Jews from being in pubs or consuming alcohol.

5/5 It beggars belief that JVL are now conducting ‘antisemitism training’ in the Labour Party, while they make jokes at the expense of the Jewish community. This is the ‘Jewish voice’ of @jeremycorbyn
