UK Labour Has 'a Real Problem' With Anti-Semitism, Says Corbyn

Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge, who is facing disciplinary procedure for attacking Mr Corbyn over the anti-Semitism row, said she had "no idea" what the allegations against her were, and said her treatment was "ridiculous" given Mr Willsman's let-off.

They were Rabbi Hershel Rader, of the Brighton and Hove Hebrew Congregation, Rabbi Elli Tikvah Sarah, of the Brighton and Hove Progressive Synagogue, and Rabbi Dr Andrea Zanardo, Brighton and Hove Reform Synagogue. The party has come under fire from Jewish members of Labour and the British Jewish community for not adopting the full definition, particularly items related to Israel.

The leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, said on Friday there was a "real problem" of anti-Semitism in his party which he would root out, but he also hit back at strong criticism of Labour from Jewish newspapers. In 2016, an inter-parliamentary committee accused Labour of creating a "safe space for those with vile attitudes towards Jewish people".

It comes after Labour's ruling NEC sparked widespread fury after it refused to adopt the internationally accepted International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism.

His article was dismissed by the Jewish Labour Movement, who called for real action. He also acknowledged Labour had been too slow process cases of anti-Semitic abuse.

"You are not my supporters and have no place in our movement", he wrote.

"The community should have been consulted more extensively at an earlier stage - which is why our executive decided last month to reopen the development of the code in consultation with Jewish community organisations and others to address their concerns", he promised.

Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice's 'biggest fight' was over sneakers
While speaking toBritish Vogue , Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice elaborated on what palace-life is like for them. Princess Eugenie recently wound up in "trouble" over a picture that she was not supposed to post on Instagram.

Mr Corbyn has stopped short of that, insisting that Labour had fully adopted the wording of the definition and had captured "the essence" of its illustrative examples, with seven of the 11 incorporated entirely.

He defended Labour's decision not to include one of the examples, which warns against "claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour". The party, with which most British Jews traditionally identified, seems intent on alienating them.

Gideon Falter, the chairman of Campaign Against Antisemitism said: "There is no apology for his anti-Semitic activity in the past, but he has hypocritically condemned as anti-Semitic behaviour that he himself has been guilty of".

"He has again preached to Jews that he is right to have rewritten the global definition of anti-Semitism".

"Today, other than another article bemoaning a situation of the Party's own making, nothing has changed".

A protester blows through a shofar during a demonstration in Parliament Square against anti-Semitism in Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party on March 26, 2018, in London. There is no trust left. "We find ourselves asking once again for action, not words", JLM said in a statement.

"With former Glasgow MP Tom Harris resigning from the party this weekend after 34 years, Labour is once again in chaos".
