Regardless of the rights and wrongs this is inept politics. I am not sure how many votes walking on the highwire of being anti-zionist won but it definitely was not as many as being portrayed as anti-semetic lost. How many previous Labour voters could give a shit but saw this as introspective indulgence is anyone's guess.
Whether Jeremy was wronged after his statement it takes him back into his comfort zone as rebel and martyr regardless of political cost which I am sure play out in the coming weeks and months.
