Forgive me if I appear insensitive to those that have suffered, but if you dig hard enough, you also find articles suggesting that antisemitism has actually decreased under Corbyn. Might sound silly to say, but it is enough to put doubt into my mind as to the true scale of the problem. Please bear in mind, that as a non-Jewish person, I am very much an outsider to this issue.

It’s exactly this kind of talk that is going to get you shitcanned in Labour atm. They’re at the full-scale panic stage, where even the slightest hint of a Labour personality saying something related is probably bad headlines.
This isn’t to say that knuckle-dragging cunts aren’t out there abusing people because of Jewish backgrounds and connections. No doubt. There’s also some instances of clear overreach, like Frank Field, who blamed antisemetism as the reason that he quit, despite seemingly every Labour Party member and their pet hating his guts.

On the Canary by any chance?

Not according to Jon Lansman.

Surely one can differentiate between tabloid headlines, and first hand accounts of people who have suffered racist abuse?
For sure there is muddy water around Corbyn's past afilliations, but what is happening right now is pretty clear.
