We hear a lot about what ‘many Jews believe’ about Corbyn and the left.
This widely cited Jewish Chronicle poll, for instance, found that 85% of UK Jews thought Corbyn himself is antisemitic.

Now. Anyone is of course at liberty to ‘believe’, or claim to ‘believe’ anything they like.
I could claim to ‘believe’ there are tiny invisible rabbits that live in my beard, for instance.
Does that make it true?
Does that make the tiny invisible beard-rabbits real?
No of course it doesn’t, because ‘beliefs’ are not what decide reality.
Facts are, and the facts are perfectly clear: Corbyn is not, and has never been, an antisemite, and even BBC were legally forced to concede it. Image
So ’85% of UK Jews’ are simply factually wrong about this.
Their ‘belief’ is based on nothing except bigotry, fraudulent media stories, and a point-blank refusal to accept reality.
‘Beliefs’ are not facts.
‘Beliefs’ are not reality.

Ken Loach claims antisemitism is being used to oust Labour left politicians uk.news.yahoo.com/ken-loach-clai… via @Yahoo
'Mr Loach, who was expelled from the party amid efforts to tackle the antisemitism experienced during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership...'
Note how tortured the language is here. Not, 'He said this antisemitic thing', but 'expelled.. amid efforts...antisemitism experienced...'
The language is tortured because, were you to attempt to explain in simple terms why Loach was expelled, you would be unable to do so, because there is no valid reason of any kind.

Let's take this line by line, shall we?
LN: 'There was this moment after the EHRC report was published when the full shame of what the Labour Party had become during that era was laid bare'

Reality: The EHRC found 2 cases, both now subject to judicial review.
LN: 'Some of us took the decision that it was completely unsustainable and walked away, and some of us took the decision that it was better to be there and try to mitigate what was happening'.

Reality: 'What was happening' was 2 cases, both now subject to judicial review.

Our corrupt and stupid media are letting them get away with it, as Starmer must have known they would. Corbyn was disbarred because 'he lost 2019', not because of 'antisemitism'.
They keep saying EHRC report, they keep saying apologise.
via @YouTube
So we have twin tracks now: the 'official' track, the Starmer NEC motion, which explicitly does not say 'antisemitism', and the unofficial track, which is his MPs going out on telly and lying that it does.
Starmer knows he couldn't make the 'antisemitism' nonsense stand up legally, so he invents a different official excuse, while his MPs lie bare-faced on telly.
It's behaviour so grotesquely dishonest it almost beggars belief.

She wasn't 'forced out' at all, Wes, and well you know it, you ridiculous liar.
Did you honestly think you were going to get away with any of that old cobblers on here?
Why would you think that?
