Three-quarters of British Jews believe anti-Semitism is a problem, up from half in 2012
David Hirsh resigned from the Labour Party. He was, he wrote, fed up with being humiliated by anti-Semitism. “I have fought it for years, in the student movement, in the academic unions and in the Labour Party. I won’t subject myself to it any longer.” But the 51-year-old sociology lecturer, and author of a book called “Contemporary Left Anti-Semitism”, is not only worried by what is happening in the Labour Party: he sees a conspiratorial outlook spreading across the political spectrum.
But some worry that people may come to adopt more strongly held views if they are exposed to them in public life. And under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, the Labour Party has faced repeated accusations of tolerating anti-Semitism in its ranks. On February 27th the party suspended Chris Williamson, anafter a video emerged of him telling applauding activists that Labour had been “too apologetic” about anti-Semitism.
