There is*significant evidence*to suggest that he is not. And there is no evidence that he poses any kind of risk to Britain’s Jews.'
'A common response to this is that a Labour victory would embolden racists. Certainly, the antisemitic fringe on the left might cheer. But as the recent attacks on synagogues in*Pittsburgh*and*Halle*illustrate, the gravest and most palpable danger to Jewish people comes not from the far left but the far right.'
