British Jewish leader: ‘History won’t look kindly on Corbyn’s Labour leadership’
Board of Deputies of British Jews President Marie van der Zyl says in a statement that “anti-Jewish racism has been allowed to run amok” in the Labour Party and that she hopes Prime Minister Boris Johnson will use his victory to bring the party together.
“When he eventually steps back, history will not look kindly on Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party, where anti-Jewish racism has been allowed to run amok and some at the highest levels of the party have appeared to collude to protect anti-Semites,” van der Zyl says.
“We urge the next leader of the Labour Party to act quickly to implement the steps repeatedly recommended by Jewish communal groups to begin solving this crisis and moving our politics forward,” she says.
