THE
INCREDIBLE
STORY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
VIDEOS - JEWISH LIFE IN BRITAIN
EDITORS NOTE
In 2018 Dame Margaret Hodge the Jewish Labour MP for Barking accused Jeremy Corbyn, the Leader of the Labour Party of being antisemitic and Head of a Party riddled with antisemitism (see below). Subsequent internal and external disputes have led to major internal changes leading to Party expulsions, eventual acceptance of the international definition of antisemitism and the resignation of two Jewish Labour MP’s
in protest against the Party (see below).
There is to be a General Election on December 14 2019. In an article in the Times, Ephraim Mirvis, Britain’s most senior Jewish leader, accused Corbyn of allowing a “poison sanctioned from the top” to take root in the party, saying the way the Labour leadership had dealt with anti-Jewish racism was “incompatible with the British values of which we are so proud – of dignity and respect for all people” (see below)’.
This is approximately two years since Dame Margaret Hodge raised the issue.

GENERAL ELECTION 2019: LABOUR AND ANTI-SEMITISM –
BBC News 26 Nov 2019 (12.30)
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has insisted there is no place for anti-Semitism in modern Britain and said those guilty of such racism in the Labour Party have been "brought to book". He was speaking after the Chief Rabbi accused him of allowing anti-Jewish racism to take root within Labour, and questioned his fitness to be prime minister. In an unprecedented break with convention,
Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis said he felt compelled to intervene because the "very soul of our nation was
at stake". The Conservative Party also came under heavy criticism today,
when the Muslim Council of Britain accused it of "denial, dismissal and deceit"
on the issue of Islamophobia.

A HISTORY OF THE JEWS IN ENGLAND
THE BEGINNING OF PERSECUTION
AND THE ORGANIZATION OF JEWRY
The Rebs 2015 (41.18)
For the first time Crusading enthusiasm—hitherto at a low ebb—spread throughout England among all classes, from highest to lowest. It was inevitable that the feeling against the Jews was accentuated. The heavy exactions of the previous reign, of which they had been to some extent the instruments, were not forgotten, and there was little prospect that the policy of the government would change. Increasing numbers and prosperity were a prolific cause of jealousy. In 1179 Pope Alexander III had felt obliged to exhort the king to protect the monks of St. Augustine's, Canterbury, in their business dealings with the Jews, which must have been
of considerable volume.
WHO WAS AARON OF LINCOLN?
HENRY ABRAMSON 2014 (511.58)
Reputed to be the wealthiest man in 11th century England--wealthier even than the King--Aaron of Lincoln was a hugely successful moneylender whose achievements included the financing of many cathedrals. His story, while exceptional in terms of scope, is nevertheless instructive of the Jewish experience in the medieval economy as a whole.

IS EUROPE FAILING TO COUNTER
ANTI-SEMITISM? |
DW News, 2019 (20.17)
In France, a surge in anti-Semitic violence and hate speech has caused members of the Jewish community to fear for their safety. French President Emmanuel Macron has made a very public show of condemning the crimes, which include vandalism of cemeteries, online harassment and physical attacks. Elsewhere too, many Jews increasingly feel under threat. Rising numbers of anti-Semitic crimes and violent attacks in Germany are causing alarm in Jewish communities, and prompted the Central Council of Jews in Germany to call for stronger action by police and politicians.
HAS THE BBC'S PANORAMA DOCUMENTARY ON LABOUR ANTISEMITISM CHANGED ANYTHING?
Julia Hartley-Brewer talkRADIO
11 Jul 2019 (27.15)
Labour and party leader Jeremy Corbyn have been condemned after a BBC Panorama programme investigating claims of anti-Semitism in its ranks was broadcast.
Eight people told Panorama they were undermined in their attempts to tackle anti-Semitism in the party. Former officials alleged that Labour's director of communications, Seumas Milne, and its general secretary, Jennie Formby, interfered with investigations.
Four of those who spoke out, including former Labour general secretary Iain McNicol, broke non-disclosure agreements to do so.
Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson said the revelations were "harrowing".
U.K. PM MAY DEMANDS APOLOGY FROM CORBYN ON RACISM, ANTI-SEMITISM IN LABOUR PARTY
Global News 17 July 2019 (4.01)
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May and opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn traded blows on racism in each other's party on Wednesday in parliament. The session of prime minister's questions came hours after more than 60 opposition Labour members of Britain's upper house of parliament signed a statement in a newspaper accusing Corbyn of failing "the test of leadership" over anti-Semitism in the party, and May demanding
an apology for failing to deal with it.
Eight lawmakers left the party earlier this year over anti-Semitism and Corbyn's position on Brexit, which has also angered many members who want Labour to adopt an
unequivocal pro-European Union position.
