Corbyn vows ‘zero tolerance’ for anti-Semitism as protesters rally outside parliament

Britain’s main opposition leader vowed Monday that his Labour Party would have “zero tolerance” for anti-Semitism, after Jewish groups accused him of failing to stamp out anti-Jewish prejudice within his left-of-center party.

Hundreds of protesters are rallying outside Parliament bearing signs reading “no to anti-Semitism.” The protesters are joined by some Labour lawmakers who are critical of their leader.

British news reports put the number of protesters in the thousands, and said that police were called to break up a scuffle with a small group of counter-protesters.
