(Jewish Group) The UK is finally taking Labour's anti-Semitism seriously.

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

On a recent speaking tour in North America, I was asked repeatedly about anti-Semitism in the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn.

Corbyn’s Labour has become an existential threat to British Jews, and audiences smartly inquired what could be done to stop growing anti-Semitism in U.K. politics from endangering Britain’s Jews.

We hear from members of our community constantly that they are preparing to leave the country should Corbyn become prime minister.

At Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, the volunteer-run charity that I am proud to lead, we have been at the forefront of calling out Labour in the media. This media campaign has borne fruit: According to a May 17 YouGov survey, 80 percent of British voters are now aware of Labour’s anti-Semitism crisis, and just 19 percent are still convinced by Labour and Corbyn’s arguments that they are not anti-Semitic.

But media campaigning alone is insufficient, and we needed to hold Labour to account – not just in the media, but in a way that Corbyn and his acolytes could not deflect or avoid.
