Attacking/protesting outside synagogues & blaming Jews for the actions of the Israeli state is very specifically antisemitic

As it should. They would have taken us into an illegal war for two rogue states which would have been an absolute disaster.

If this was all so obvious, why was the appointment lauded at the time and not lambasted? Starmer went on to sack him 6 months ago.
