JVL Introduction
David Rosenberg speaks to some of the many, many Jews who are supporting the Labour party in the forthcoming election.
He writes: “Since the Chief Rabbi’s intervention, I have interviewed numerous Jewish Labour Party members, most of whom consciously joined the party precisely because Corbyn became leader. They are comfortable with, and proud of, their Jewish and socialist identities. It is time their voices were heard.”

Time left-wing Jewish voices were heard
“JEWISH people use the NHS, education, the police and other public services. Jewish people who work in these services have seen their wages fall in real terms and colleagues resign because of the stresses of staff cuts. Jewish people use utilities. They kvetch when their broadband goes down. They have elderly parents and mental health problems and children who cannot afford high rents on low incomes so remain at home.”

I so agree with the opinions expressed by these other Jewish members of the Labour Party. It is Corby’s criticism of the Israeli Government that has brought the wrath of a section of the Jewish community against him and they have equated criticism of Israel with antisemitism. I have found it nothing less than despicable the way Jeremy Corbyn’s character has been turned from being a man of high principle with a reputation for fighting all kinds of racism including antisemitism to being a terrorist and hater of Jews who has according to them but not according to the facts born out by several polls, turmed the Labour Party into a hotbed of antisemitism. The Labour Party has grown under Corbyn precisely because of his humanitarian values.
Extremist UK Jews have done terrible damage to the UK’s 250000 Jewish population. Time for an apology.
I’m a Labour member I’m not of Jewish heritage. I became a paying member of Jewishvoiceforlabour because I became dissolutioned with the way MSM was using Anti-semitism within labour as a political football, and like you are frustrated with our MSM not listening to Jewishvoiceforlabour. Wouldn’t it be a good idea if you made a film with Jewish people who don’t feel fear with a Corbyn led government and use all the details and people in this article and many more, something like Witch hunt but this time show all the positives the support Corbyn as in the Jewish community.
