A THREAD 1/x
In 2014 Luciana Berger received truly horrible antisemitic abuse from a coordinated attack by a right wing group.

REMEMBER - The Labour leader at this time was Ed Miliband. A Jew himself.
Look how it was reported. @DPJHodges did this piece in the Telegraph.
It criticises Ed Miliband but praises John Mann - and then uses it to attach Miliband on Israel.

Nothing to do with the recent Labour accusations - antisemitism was having a record rise - and was 18 months before Corbyn was Labour leader.
They were fleeing right wing antisemitism

9/x CONFERENCE POLICE SECURITY?
jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/luciana-berger…
The justification for the need for security was regarding the RIGHT WING CASES. Not Labour.
"Ms Berger, who has received serious antisemitic abuse for several years, leading to prison sentences for three of her abusers."

My pitch is that MEDIA BIAS and deceitful reporting fuels LEFT WING conspiracy theory which in turn is used to claim more Antisemitism exists
The left do not "HATE JEWS", the right DO, we fight smears and get frustrated whilst doing so.
