This article https://antisemitism.uk/jeremy-corbyns-office-is-glad-about-the-readmission-of-moshe-machover-who-defended-ken-livingstone-and-accused-jewish-students-of-obeying-israeli-embassy/ says so much about the pernicious hold that anti semitism has on parts of the Labour Party. Do read it all for context, here's the end of it:
'Professor Machover has form. He has previously been exposed for suggesting that Hamas should adopt tactics more akin to those of Hizballah. Both are genocidal antisemitic terrorist organisations which are proscribed under the Terrorism Act. He also reportedly accused Jewish students at an event at Queen Mary, University of London, of being under the control of the Israeli Embassy.
Professor Machover has never made a secret of his views.
The Labour Party has an arsenal of weapons with which to fight the antisemitism in its midst. It has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism, and at the Labour Party Conference, it voted to increase the severity of sanctions for indulging in antisemitic discourse, including expulsion from the Party.
However, it has demonstrated that all of that means precisely nothing, because the naked truth that Professor Machover's case reveals is that the Labour Party simply does not want to expel antisemites.'
Don't expect any coverage of this on the VOTE LABOUR BBC.
