Lipman gives a powerful â and âaccurateâ â critique of Labourâs Mid East policy. And itâs a critique that should have Labour âleadershipâ and his advisers very, very worried, because the Labour partyâs support within the Jewish community is now ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE !!

But by far the biggest issue â as Lipman identifies in her piece â is the failure of the âLabour leadershipâhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ¤Ť" title="Shushing face" aria-label="Emoji: Shushing face"> to speak out forcefully on the growth of anti-Semitism, both across Europe and in the UK.

Jewish Labour supporters, (and indeed some Labour MPs), have also been asking why âLabour leadershipâ has left it to backbencher John Mann to lead the condemnation of a campaign of anti-Semitism CURRENTLY being directed at Labour MP LUCIANA BERGER?

On Wednesday (October 2014!) John Mann took to the floor of the House of Commons to demand action over what he described as a campaign of âabuse against a member (Luciana Berger) of this House continuing on daily basisâ.
(Iâll tell you about this abuse against Berger later)

So in 6 above the 2014 Dan Hodges article mentioned that Luciana Berger was getting DAILY HATRED.
