The decision was totally right..
I think his only motive is to stamp his own authority and clear out this really, for far too long, damaging issue.

Actually issue is the wrong word to use, since the incidents that have happened have hurt longtime Labour members and voters who are Jewish..
It's also hurt and left some in Jewish communities feeling hurt and betrayed..

Apologies and compensation for only doing the right thing, after being wrongly attacked for doing so, are all well and good.
However, I want any anti-semitism in the Labour party or in any other party.
Wiped out permanently.

All anti-semitism is a disgrace, and this I can believe is Starmer's aim and my hope too, that he will show his full worth on this by eradicating that scandal once and for all.

You will never wipe it out because it's a societal issue. Just like people will always be anti black, anti-immigrant, and anti-muslim etc. There was actually a study done that I posted in a thread on here somewhere that showed anti semitism within labour was actually lower than society as a whole. That doesn't excuse these findings, but the reframing from Corbyn is an anti semite to labour are anti semites is interesting.

I'm no fan of labour these days, and especially starmer who has slotted straight back in as a tory-lite, talking more about being tough on crime, over a citizenry decimated by austerity.

Meanwhile, all the holier-than-thous happily voted in a racist with a laundry list of his own statements proving how racist, homophobic, anti semitic, and islamophobic he is.
