Abstract
Under Jeremy Corbin’s leadership (2015–20), antisemitism within the Labour Party shot to new heights. Known, inter alia, for his harsh criticism of Israel, indeed rejection of its very existence; association with terrorist organisations bent on Israel’s destruction and questioning British Jewry’s true ‘Britishness’, Corbyn repeatedly failed to address antisemitism within his party, attracting widespread public criticism, intensifying divisions within Labour and creating an unbridgeable rift with the Jewish community. And while antisemitism within the party has diminished following Corbyn’s resignation, and subsequent suspension from Labour, underlying antisemitic sentiments have not been wholly eradicated and continue to represent a significant concern in British political discourse.
