The Livingstone formulation ("when Jews complain about antisemitism they're trying to silence criticism of Israel") is mainstream and is the prism through which the broader left now sees antisemitism. This in turn has given license to increased, and more vicious antisemitism.
The position of Jews in the UK is permanently changed. We watch as concepts like institutional racism, unconscious bias and intersectionality are embraced by the left as they whitewash the most explicit antisemitism.
I'm delighted Starmer takes antisemitism seriously and wish him every success. I may even vote Labour again. But it's impossible to imagine this mainstreaming of antisemitism without Corbyn; and everyone who prioritised party loyalty over fighting antisemitism facilitated that.
That the cost of saving Labour has fallen on Jews is a permanent stain on Labour.
Fuck the NME. Fuck the Guardian.
