Statement from Labour Against Antisemitism:
Jeremy Corbyn Must Show He Is Listening to Community Representatives, Not Just Minority Factions

Jeremy Corbyn has yet again shown misjudgement in meeting with Jewdas, the radical minority group. It has been received as a provocative action, that appears to be cynically engineered to create division within the Jewish community.
2/7

While it is welcome that Mr Corbyn wishes to engage with the Jewish community, he needs to speak with representatives of that community, not minority factions with little or no mandate to speak on the community’s behalf.
3/7

Instead he is urged to commit to progressive and meaningful dialogue with organisations such as the Jewish Labour Movement, which has a large membership and has been affiliated to the Labour Party for over 100 years.
4/7

Whilst Jewdas are entitled to their views, this episode could not do more to emphasise the perceived unwillingness of Mr Corbyn to tackle the well-documented antisemitism crisis.
5/7

Mr Corbyn and his Labour Party has lost the trust of the Jewish community; he now needs to work to win back their support, assure them that he has listened to their concerns regarding ingrained antisemitism in the party, and demonstrate that he is fighting to eradicate it.
6/7

His actions last night have made his work much harder.
