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.

Despite our differences I will say that Joey's stance has never changed on this. He's never deflected nor made excuses.
