Looking at the Labour vote count on the forum, I'm not sure that the antisemitism thing is fully understood.

In terms of Jewish feelings, there are several factors in play here

1. Historic persecution in Europe (and UK 500 years ago);

2. Nazism & the Holocaust;

3. A leaning towards socialism as an antithesis to fascism;

4. Inner security that they could always bolt to Israel if things get bad.

Corbyn's past championing of terrorist causes, including Arab terrorism, makes Jews nervous.

Momentum's hatred of Israel (as in support for Palestine) which then affects Jews who have an obvious degree of support for Israel (and not necessarily their settlements activities) then begin to feel uncomfortable.

It is utterly unacceptable that a mainstream UK political party should be so inconsiderate towards the Jewish minority in the UK.

So the Chief Rabbi then recommends to Jews that their vote should not go to Labour - which is unnatural for most Jews. For Jews to be considering the Israel bolthole from our country is so far beyond the pale that I'm lost for the best words.

Those on this forum who will vote Labour are accepting this awful situation and need to re-evaluate their position.
