Anti-Semitism
18 Answers
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me why Jeremy Corbyn has been accused of anti-semitism. I am not that well up on politics and it seems really odd that someone from the Labour party (which is supposed to be the nicer, less racist party) should be capable of such a thing. What have I missed?

there seem to be some anti-Semites in the Labour party, as there seem to be some Islamophobes in the Tory party; in both cases they tend to get off fairly lightly. I don't think Corbyn is one, but he seems to have a lofty disdain for rebutting such personal accusations, and this just lets protests grow louder.
For political reasons: e.g. -

Fortunately other Jews have a different opinion and 'it speaks volumes' :

I’m at a loss to understand why anyone thinks Labour is the ‘nicer’ party.
OG, //Perhaps because they prioritise society and care rather than individuals attracting wealth by using others ?//
You’re surely not still falling for that old cherry, are you? Do you mean those individuals who contribute more to the wealth of the country as a whole and provide the nation with jobs?
The Institute for Fiscal Studies shows that about 90% of income tax is paid by the 50% of taxpayers with the highest incomes, while more than a quarter is paid by the richest 1%.

Income tax is only a fraction of the total tax take. Over three-quarters of the Government’s income comes from other taxes.
