Three of Britain's main Jewish newspapers have published the same front page showing the unity against the dangers posed by a potential Corbyn led Labour government.
In other news the far-left Jewish Voice for Labour has had it's bid to affiliate to the Labour Party rejected though no doubt they will try again at a later date.
The threat to the Jewish community comes more from the far-left/anti-Zionist milieu which currently orientated towards Corbyn. His constituency treasurer resigned over the anti-Semitism issue. The Jewish Chronicle reports:
Russell Smith-Becker, who was a member for 28 years and, said in his public resignation letter: “The Labour party has become somewhere antisemites feel comfortable and where many Jews feel uncomfortable.”
He was the treasurer for the Islington North Constituency Labour Party, where Mr Corbyn has been MP for 35 years.
Mr Smith-Becker's resignation comes after Labour’s refusal to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of Jew-hate, instead opting for its own code of conduct that omits key examples of how criticising Israel can by antisemitic.
Mr Smith-Becker posted his letter of resignation on Facebook. In it, he said he was "no longer sure that the Labour party is a force for good."
and further:
"I therefore resign my leadership of the Labour party. The Labour party has become somewhere anti semites feel comfortable and where many Jews feel uncomfortable - I hope I can join again when it is the other way around."
Unite Against Anti-Semitism! Never Again!
