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

Hi all,
Firstly, sincere thanks to everyone who reported their concerns about this thread. Apologies for having taken so long to go through it but it was clear from the start that it merited a very close read, as well as a good dig in the background, in order to take the correct action.
We'd like to enlist MNers further to help keep things on track; as we have observed this type of discussion can attract subtle and not-so-subtle anti-semitic posts, which of course we delete. If this thread is to continue, we would hope that we can rely on our users to continue to report. We want the conversation to flow, of course, but where we think any poster is being disingenuous we need to act.
Many thanks.

Of course, Ritascornershop, don't worry. It was just a bit of a conversational dead end so worth tidying up while we were here anyway.

Hi everyone,
We would like to clarify that the posts that we have deleted were anti-Semitic in content and also that the vast majority of them were made by one person.
We have banned them, but trolls can be persistent so please do continue to report if you see any dog-whistling and we will deal with it.
We're sorry for any upset.
