'don't Vote For Mps Mentioned In The Jewish Chronicle' …

… said Jeremy Corbyn’s personal secretary back in 2010. Nicolette Peterson urged voters to compile a list of pro-Israeli Labour MPs ahead of the 2010 general election — so they could back other candidates.

Anti-Semitism is clearly not a new problem within Labour ranks. Does anyone really believe Corbyn will ever address it? I think not - but then I never did.

//Nicolette Petersen, 61, who has worked for Mr Corbyn since 1994, wrote a how-to-guide to help voters rid Parliament of MPs who support Israel.

...
She wrote:" There are several candidates who have truly shone on Palestinian issues and who will need a lot of support to keep their seats.

"Read the Jewish Chronicle online and look at websites that will show you who not to vote for: Conservative / Lib Dem / and Labour Friends of Israel list Andrew Gwynne MP (Chair), Louise Ellman, Glenis Willmott (vice chairs) and many more.//

She was asking people not to vote for MPs who supported Israel. I don't share her obvious distaste for The Jewish Chronicle - which has always seemed a fairly good paper to me - but there's no doubt that it has a very strongly pro-Israel editorial line. So although her suggestion is a bit sweeping it doesn't strike me as racist.

There are some shocking examples of antisemitism in Labour (e.g. racial abuse and holocaust denial) but I don't agree that this is one of them.
