To ask about Jeremy Corbyn and anti semitism

So having decided to vote labour I had a conversation with a Jewish work colleague who said she couldn't vote for him, hated him even. It took me a few seconds and then i realised why. I said that I had stuck my fingers in my ears and my head in the sand somewhat about this, hoping it was just the media etc.

We didn't get into it as I could see she was uncomfortable.

So can someone tell me if and why he is an anti-semite? It doesn't sit well with me to vote for someone like that but I desperately want the Tories gone and my politics is definitely to the left.

I'm honestly not being goady and I know I could google but i wouldn't know where to start to get an unbiased view

*Found this

www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/in-summary-the-truth-behind-the-stats/*

So if we look at the allegations (rather than the number Labour suspended or expelled) that is still less than 0.1% of Labour members versus an estimate of 2-5% in the general population?

Bloody Jewish Voice for Labour again. Part of the problem with antisemitism in the Labour Party.

Today Jewish Voice for Labour were sharing a letter from a Rabbi saying how awful the Chief Rabbi’s comments were and how great Corbyn is.

Except the phone number on the letter isn’t a phone number and the address appears to be that of a London bakery.

I believe that the vast majority of labour members are not antisemitic and probably is higher among Tory membership. Same for most mps.
But Corbyn and the extreme left of the party have allowed this vocal minority to feel very free to express their antisemitic views in a way that is not tolerated in other parties. They've always been there of course but corbyn has given them a voice and a platform
