The struggle for liberation of all people is never complete and must always be renewed. As a movement, we educate ourselves and each other to better stand in solidarity with and unite all those facing oppression and discrimination.
That's why we are launching education materials for our members and supporters to help them confront bigotry, wherever it arises. Over the coming months, the party will produce educational materials on a number of specific forms of racism and bigotry. Our first materials are on antisemitism, recognising that anti-Jewish bigotry has reared its head in our movement.
Browse our new antisemitism minisite
Read our new leaflet on antisemitism
Hatred towards Jewish people is rising in many parts of the world. Our party is not immune from that poison — and we must drive it out from our movement.
While other political parties and some of the media exaggerate and distort the scale of the problem in our party, we must face up to the unsettling truth that a small number of Labour members hold antisemitic views and a larger number don't recognise antisemitic stereotypes and conspiracy theories.
The evidence is clear enough. The worst cases of antisemitism in our party have included Holocaust denial, crude Jewish-banker stereotypes, conspiracy theories blaming Israel for 9/11 or every war on the Rothschild family, and even one member who appeared to believe that Hitler had been misunderstood.
So please engage with the materials we are producing, which will be placed on a page on our website, along with other resources, so our movement can be the strongest anti-racist force in our country.
I have learned so much, I hope you will too, so that together we can fight these evils.
In solidarity,
Signed, Jeremy Corbyn MP, Leader of the Labour Party
Jeremy Corbyn Leader of the Labour Party

'crude Jewish-banker stereotypes'
'Our party is not immune from that poison — and we must drive it out from our movement.'
I guess his resignation is imminent.
In this garbled paragraph in Labour’s new anti-Semitism primer, it says that comparing Israel to Nazis is anti-Semitic. Here’s a video of Mr Corbyn doing just that: https://t.co/r86c3LpGjEpic.twitter.com/OsNzJbtAke

Anyone who disagrees with that and wants to make the problem (and Corbyn’s “existential threat to British Jews”) bigger than that needs to present evidence we haven’t seen yet.
Otherwise they’re starting to look like Trump attacking progressive Democrats he doesn’t like and who don’t like him.

It's action that counts. Not words.
Corbyn releases one of these statements every summer. He couldn't even be bothered to film a new video and instead just recycled the one from last summer to accompany this latest proclamation.
Nothing changes, in fact it gets worse.
I'll go with Hope Not Hate's take rather than yours.
There has been a campaign of denial, where supporters of Jeremy Corbyn have at best sort to downplay anti-Jewish racism, and at worst have engaged in antisemitic smears about a supposed conspiracy to ‘weaponise’ antisemitism.

I've been downvoted with no explanation. Hmm. The evidence is there for anyone willing to see it.
A man finally meets his maker at the Pearly gates. God says to to the man "I see you've spent years dismissing Labour's anti semitism problem as smears".
"If you wish to enter heaven you must return to earth and tell the truth. Labour is institutionally anti semitic"
The man returns to earth, immediately logs on to TWTD and posts:
"The Blairite smear campaign against Corbyn is bigger than I thought. Even God's involved".

No need to abusive DK. Phil takes a dim view of that sort of thing.
No abuse there. What would you call a disingenuous, selective and political agenda masquerading as a genuine concern for antiracism? And spreading fear among a minority that has good historical reason to be extremely sensitive to even the hint of discrimination and hatred?

Would you care to say who has a disingenuous, selective and political agenda masquerading as a genuine concern for antiracism?

Off you trot. The grown ups are talking.
Is there where I run crying to Phil like a 5yr old?
