So I see that, once again, it is blithely being asserted that Jeremy Corbyn doesn't have a problem with Jews. And maybe he doesn't! But allow me to lay out a few pieces of evidence that suggest otherwise, and why Jews like myself are sick of non-Jews making this blithe assertion
Corbyn writes a foreword to JA Hobson's notoriously antisemitic book and specifically praises a paragraph which specifically uses an antisemitic trope theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Corbyn defends a blatantly antisemitic mural theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Corbyn defends a cleric who used the blood libel, and then blames "the Zionist lobby" for the cleric's expulsion from this country thejc.com/news/uk-news/j…
Corbyn says British Zionists, even those who have lived here for a long time, "can't understand English irony" bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-pol…
Corbyn, for reasons known only to himself, pronounces Jeffrey Epstein's name "Ep-shtine", which no one - including Epstein himself - ever did inews.co.uk/opinion/jeremy…
Again and again, Corbyn defends Chris Williamson, despite all evidence Williamson is not worth defending politicshome.com/news/uk/politi…
Obviously, there are more. But the key thing about all of the above is none of them have anything to do with Israel. British Jews have had to swallow a lot over the past years, and I've had my fill now. So spare me your blithe assertions about Corbyn's feelings about Jews
