British politics are intermittently interesting. Today comes a story from Axios about the Labour Party suspending former leader Jeremy Corbyn for tolerating anti-Semitism during his leadership of the party.
The U.K.'s Equality and Human Rights Commission found that Labour was "responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination" linked to anti-Semitism, per the BBC.
- Its report found "a culture within the party which, at best, did not do enough to prevent anti-Semitism and, at worst, could be seen to accept it."
- It also found that Corbyn's office had "politically interfered" on 23 separate occasions regarding the anti-Semitism complaints.
One supposes Corbyn did what he did to appeal to the U.K’s Islamic voters, mostly immigrants from former colonies India and Pakistan. Which raises the question of where those voters will find a home if the Labour Party rejects their reflexive Jew-hatred and the foreign policy positions associated therewith?
