Within days of Jeremy Corbyn being suspended by the Labour Party, 19 Jewish Labour members in his constituency (Islington North) published a detailed statement of support for him in our local newspaper. In that letter, we pointed out that: 1/4
"Unlike most of his critics, it is we who actually know and regularly meet Jeremy Corbyn. As Jews we have always felt safe, welcome, and supported in everything we do in the borough and the party." After it was published, other local Jewish LP members asked to sign it too. 2/4
Last week we sent a shorter letter to several mainstream media outlets signed by 25 Jewish members of Islington North CLP, many of whom have a strong record of opposing racism and fascism and campaigning for human rights. To date it has not been published. 3/4
