Thread: On Thursday the #EHRCReport found Labour had acted illegally in three different way with prejudice against the Jewish community. @Keir_Starmer said sorry but, astonishingly, Labour is STILL gaslighting British Jews.
Narcissistic former leader Jeremy Corbyn took it on himself to say the scale of antisemitism was ‘dramatically overstated’, a claim the EHRC report deemed part of Labour’s antisemitism. To say it’s a smear is antisemitism.
The report blamed the leader’s office for deliberately interfering to not punish antisemites. There was no apology for this from anyone in that office.
Meanwhile, how have some Labour MPs responded? Guilt? Heartfelt apologies? Promises to make amends? There’s been a few but it’s mainly been stuff like this:
And this...
And this...
This from Socialists of Colour:
Young Jewish Labour members asked that Jeremy Corbyn should be left out of a statement about antisemitism. They were ignored.
This from Owen Jones.
I don’t know how we can be clearer: Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite. He led the party’s descent into Jew hate. Labour can’t even BEGIN to start clearing the decks of antisemitism until he has gone. Those demanding his return & failing to apologise for antisemitism have to go too.
