It has underpinned a lot of the political and media attacks on Corbyn and Labour - crudely that Muslims are anti-semites and there are a lot of Muslim members of the Labour Party, and Muslim activists in the international solidarity campaign with Palestinians, so Corbyn Labour panders to their inherent prejudice and bigotry. It usually goes unchallenged.
I'm not throwing anti antisemitism around I think that's been done very well enough by the perpetrators of such comments , and they are a matter of record and investigation , one can either say its happening, or one can say it is not .

Eh? Anti anti-semitism? You claimed Jeremy Corbyn is an anti-semite. You perpetrated that comment. Margaret Hodge obviously agrees with you - or at least she says she does. I think you are both totally wrong. But you are clearly happy to label him a racist. At the same time you label Muslims in general as anti-semitic (or appearing to be - whatever that means). It is a racist trope (or maybe an ethno-religious one). Doesn't sound good from anyone, but especially not from someone calling out others as racist!
