Jewish Chronicle: Our Labour values have not changed but we can't support a leader who has so...

[Soph0571]

...utterly failed on antisemitism

Our Honorary President, Dame Louise Ellman MP, along with our former Parliamentary Chair, Luciana Berger MP have been hounded out of Labour after years of relentless abuse, particularly in their local constituency parties.

Jeremy Corbyn was well aware of this bullying but did nothing to address their concerns. When two accomplished and dedicated Jewish Labour MPs no longer see a place for themselves in the Labour Party, it’s clear that the party has lost its way. Yet many Labour activists deny the negative experiences of Jewish members and claim the issue is a politically motivated fabrication.

We’re proud of our long history of activism in Labour; next year marks the centenary of our affiliation to the Party. We won’t be pushed out without a fight, neither will we abandon our principles for electoral expediency.

Fighting racism, prejudice and intolerance remain at the heart of our Labour values. It is the failure of the Leader and his supporters to live these values which has led us to take this stance.

It is completely understandable that they have taken this stance, why would you spend your time and effort trying to get someone elected who obviously could not give a shit about antisemitism at best and is at active participant at worst.. sad thing is I do not think Corbyn and his cabal will give a shit about this.

1. I agree, and it is unfortunate, and as an outsider, why I think Labor needs new leadership, but I

don’t see that happening

What I find concerning is a lot of restlessness seems to be occurring throughout the world at the same time, from Europe, to South America, to Asia

2. Agree.
