1/ I'd have far less of a problem with the tiny number of Jews whom JVL represent being presented as an equal side of an internal Jewish disagreement if they actually got questioned about the key part they themselves have played in the antisemitism problem.

2/ Let's be clear about JVL: a very small Jewish org who have genuine extremists in their ranks. Two of them have recently gone full Q Anon, one of whom, last year, co-organised a Guardian letter in support of Chris Williamson which got pulled because -->

---> of the antisemitism of its' signatories. The other co-ordinator of the letter was Elleane Green. Someone so extreme she has attended far-right organised 'Keep Talking' events. A conspiracist collective which includes Holocaust deniers and fascists.

3/ As an org JVL have defended pretty much all of the high profile people suspended for matters related to antisemitism: Livingstone, Williamson, Walker, Willsman and many more.
Even Asa Winstanley.
Some JVL members had "Justice for Asa" placards.

Like, seriously.
4/ Thought Jenny Manson was grilled really well on Newsnight, but JVL have got an awful lot of airtime talking about antisemitism without being challenged for the major part they have themselves played. They have led from the front denying the problem whilst bathing in it.
Just one more from the litany of shocking things they are responsible for: they have a member, Dr. Alan Maddison writing articles on their website denying antisemitism and misrepresenting stats - whilst he puts out stuff like this.
Recently suspended from Labour.
This is JVL.

Jewish or not, JVL are an extremist org and should be held account for it whenever they have the chutzpah to go on TV to claim the rest of us are lying or mistaken.
Apart from that, good luck to them, at least their most prominent supporter has been reinstated to the party.
