Can somebody please explain what Jewish people in the UK have to fear from a Labour Government?
i get they may feel not has been enough to tackle anti semitism in the Labour Party but what anti Semitic measures do they fear if Labour comes into government?
This is a genuine not rhetorical question because I don’t understand

Shut up Guy.
As you well know Anna and James O'Brien have already covered this at length and you are merely trying to ride on their coat-tails.

Also, if you're really that worried about it, learn how to spell A N T I S E M I T I S M correctly.

Christ on a bike you don’t give up, do you?
Nothing to do with me but easy to see that a party that has hounded out lifelong Labour members who happened to be Jewish and Labour MPs who happened to be Jewish has a real problem.

I am not saying it doesn't have a problem. There has clearly been a disastrous blurring of the boundaries between anti Isreali policy in the ME /anti Zionism and anti Semitism within the Labour party that has led to many jewish people feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome.
I am asking more specifically whether there is a realistic fear for the average jewish voter that a Labour government will take anti-Semitic measures and if so what they might be.

Well they haven't put pogroms in their manifesto so that's clearly ok then

I would imagine it is less the fear that a Labour government would implement concrete anti-Semitic legislation, rather that wide support for an openly anti-Semitic party gives a fillip to anti-Semitic behaviour everywhere.

Why would you start a thread to ask a question currently being talked about in detail on another thread today?

I don't think anyone is saying the party is openly anti-Semitic. They are saying there is too much tolerance of anti-Semitic elements in the party. Which really means too much tolerance of anti-Zionism, although I accept that the party has allowed the boundaries to become blurred and should recognise jewish sensibility around this.

Guy, I don’t think anyone is saying that jezza will be building any train lines or remote “labour camps”, but what they are saying is that when you have in power a party and indeed a prime minister who tolerate (if not outright support) people in the party who pretty openly state that Israel should not exist, and at the same time conflate Israel with all Jews, then that legitimises anti semitism in the eyes of the populist simpletons (of either hue) and they’ll be more likely to take action. This is not difficult stuff to think through.
There may be a valid argument about whether the party is institutionally anti Semitic but not in respect of what pretty much all Jews are concerned about.

As others have said it's the fear that extremists will take things such as a more pro-Palestinian foreign policy as tacit approval of their views.

Corbyn and labour antisemitism will make zero difference in practice

It’s a dislike of Israel and its institutions rather than a political Programme

Hey - good news, guys - the rabidly antisemitic German says it's all going to be okay and there's nothing to worry about!

You mean the former Zionist with the Jewish father who lost interest in Israel
