It would be useful if you tried to find out something about
@Jewdas
before launching your attack. They are a group of young, observant, engaged Jews who are committed to defending human rights. Opining ignorantly on who are acceptable Jews is a form of antisemitism.
Corbyn’s attendance at the Jewdas seber reads as a blatant dismissal of the case made for tackling anti-Semitism in Labour.
