To my fellow British citizens, please don’t allow @JewishChron to hijack the British General Election and turn it into a referendum on Labour and #antisemitism. This paper has run a campaign of smears and vilification against Corbyn since 2015...1/7
...along with @BoardofDeputies and @JLC_uk and @antisemitism and others, it has missed no opportunity to present Corbyn’s Labour as toxic and unredeemable. While antisemitism undoubtedly exists on the left there has been no evidence to prove it is anything but small scale...2/7
...Labour has not ignored the problem of A/S, as @JewishChron claims, it has acted on it. But it has become clear that this anti-Corbyn campaign is about ‘regime change’ not reform...3/7
...@JewishChron‘s real problem with Corbyn is his decades long commitment to Palestinian human rights. This has driven its agenda of vilification. ...4/7
...it’s far from clear what kind of an “existential threat” to British Jews would be created by a Corbyn government. Personally, I don’t see sanctions against Israel’s breaking of international law as an example of antisemitism or a threat to Jewish way of life in Britain...5/7
...if you want to know how to rebut the accusations in this article, start with this helpful summary from @JVoiceLabour on the most repeated accusations jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/statement/rebu… ...6/7
This election is important for the future direction of the UK. Don’t let this issue distort your thinking. Antisemitism, Israel and Jewish identity have become complex and politicised. There is an important debate to be had. But this editorial creates heat not light. 7/7
