BRITISH JEWS: CORBYN MEETING ‘DISAPPOINTING’:
Posted onRepresentatives of Britain’s Jewish community emerged on Tues. evening, 24 April 2018, frustrated with their long-awaited meeting with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn over repeated incidents of anti-Semitism in the party. The talks between Corbyn and the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council, which lasted more than two hours, focused on their requests to take action against anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. "Our meeting with Jeremy Corbyn today was a disappointing missed opportunity regarding the problem of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party,” said a joint statement issued by the groups. "Words in letters and newspaper articles will never be enough,” they added. "We welcome the fact that Mr. Corbyn’s words have changed, but it is action by which the Jewish community will judge him and the Labour Party.” According to a report, the Jewish groups’ demands for strong Labour action against members accused of anti-Semitism received a bland response about the need to follow due process. "We will see whether he and the Labour Party have committed to the action we need against anti-Semitism,” the Board of Deputies and Jewish Leadership Council said in a joint statement. Last week, British members of Parliament from both sides of the Conservative-Labour political divide directed their anger at Corbyn in a highly charged debate on anti-Semitism – the first of its kind in the House of Commons. Much of the fiercest criticism regarding Corbyn’s leadership came from his own party’s benches. (J.Post) Pray that Jeremy Corbyn’s repeated anti-Semitic actions and words, along with members of like mind in the Labour party, will continue to be exposed, resulting in either a sincere change of actions or complete loss of political power.
