To those who continue to insist the Labour antisemitism crisis wasn't overblown: two years post-Corbyn, it remains totally acceptable for a journalist at Britain's newspaper of record to claim that a group of student doorknockers wants to massacre Jews.
(3) Labour supports a 2-state solution between a secure Israel & a sovereign Palestine; Young Labour urges the abolition of Israel, which could only be accomplished by means of a second Holocaust against the Jewish people. Hence Young Labour’s views are alien to the party’s. QED.
