In the UK, the Specter of Anti-Semitism Reemerges in the Labor Party
In some districts, ranting about Israel is the best way to get votes.
Earlier this month, David Rose reported that Azhar Ali, a Labor party candidate in an upcoming British by-election, had been a trustee of a mosque that had brought several visiting preachers who expressed enthusiasm for terrorism. Some of Ali’s own vile comments about Jews and Israel also came to the surface and the party’s leader, Keir Starmer, at last expelled him. Starmer responded more quickly when Graham Jones, another Labor candidate for parliament, made similar remarks. Are the two incidents, and especially the party’s clumsy, foot-dragging reaction to the first, a throwback to the leadership of Starmer’s predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, on whose watch anti-Semitism festered in the party’s ranks?
