Unless we learn from the failures of this entire sorry episode, the left will not be able to revive itself as a functional, credible political force. 🖋️ rachshabi for ipaperviews

As it happens, it is arguably this conspiratorial view which meant that, during those Corbyn years, Jewish Labour members who raised concerns about antisemitism in local party meetings or online were routinely dismissed: instead of having those genuine complaints of racism heard, they were denounced as Israel lobbyists.

If some Corbyn-supporters are blind to the conspiratorial overtones of Platform’s latest release, it is not because chunks of the left like gathering together, popcorn at the ready, for a cinematic round of blame-the-Jews. More likely it is, in my view, because we are in the UK, where all racisms are both deeply rooted and largely unacknowledged and where there consequently exists a profound lack of awareness over antisemitism and what it looks like.
