It is absurd.
Labour needs to be explicit and concrete in its response to antisemitism claims. This is how they should be judged.
At the same time, those making the claims/demands should not politicize their actions (which the initial demonstration explicitly did - as is in, was explicit that it was not affiliated politically to any parties or states), and not politicize their responses to acts by JC/Labour.
JC is a left-wing activist who went to an event organized by left-wing activists. JC claims he is not an anti-Semite and spent a number of hours hanging out with Jews. You may dislike the politics, but this story is not relevant to Labour antisemitism unless you are making unstated assumptions about what it is to be left-wing and/or what it is to be Jewish.
Imho.

I can see both sides of the argument. I personally think it is a good thing he went to the event.
On the flipside, breaking the negative news cycle is politics 101. Jeremy being Jeremy created the opportunity to perpetuate it.
