Antisemitism And The Hard Left - UK Edition.

Bigotry on the Left? Say it ain't so! Jeremy Corbyn suspended from Labour Party after anti-Semitism probe | Daily Mail Online

A landmark 130-page report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission found 'significant failings in the way the Labour Party has handled anti-Semitism complaints over the last four years' with 'specific examples of harassment, discrimination and political interference'.

But that didn't sit well with Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Leftist Labour Party during the time the anti-Jewish sentiment took hold. He said it is all blown out of proportion. It is a political attack from his enemies. He's been against racism his whole life. Or something.

Additionally they broke equalities law over two cases, including one which involved former London mayor Ken Livingstone 'using antisemitic tropes and suggesting that complaints of anti-Semitism were fake or smears' in 2016, before he quit the party.

Leftists will always tell you that they can't be racist. Even when they are being bigoted.

As a result of all of this, Corbyn got the boot.

Jewish Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge said: 'This is the right decision following Corbyn's shameful reaction to the EHRC report.

But is that the end of it?

The Jewish Labour Movement said the report showed that 'the blame for this sordid, disgraceful chapter in the Labour Party's history lies firmly with those who held positions of leadership - those who possessed both power and influence to prevent the growth of anti-Jewish racism, but failed to act.'

In a statement it said: 'What the report shows is that, worse than simply failing to act, the leadership of the Labour Party actively interfered in the processes relating to anti-Semitism, for political reasons.
