CARLIN: Jeremy Corbyn Could Pose An Existential Threat To British Jews

Once the political home for many British Jews, the Labour Party now faces a systemic anti-Semitism crisis. Leader Jeremy Corbyn fundamentally altered the Labour Party in 2015. His rise to leadership was accompanied by an affinity for Britain’s radical leftists and Marx supporters, including fervent anti-Zionists and pro-Palestinian sympathizers.

However, Corbyn and other Labour members have been accused of much more than merely criticizing the right-leaning government of Israel. Allegations range from Corbyn’s ties to Deir Yassin Remembered, an anti-Israel organization led by a Holocaust denier, to Corbyn’s hosting a 2010 panel wherein Israelis were compared to Nazis. At National Review last month, David Harsanyi wrote that a 2018 review of online posts by Labour Party Parliament members found “examples of Holocaust denial, crude stereotypes of Jewish bankers, conspiracy theories blaming 9/11 on Israel, and even one individual who appeared to believe that Hitler had been misunderstood.”
