LONDON (Reuters) – More than 60 opposition Labour members of Britain’s upper house of parliament signed a statement in a newspaper on Wednesday accusing leader Jeremy Corbyn of failing “the test of leadership” over anti-Semitism in the party.

Corbyn, a veteran campaigner for Palestinian rights and critic of the Israeli government, has long been dogged by charges he has allowed a culture of anti-Semitism to thrive in Britain’s main opposition party – something he denies.
Eight lawmakers left the party earlier this year over anti-Semitism and Corbyn’s position on Brexit, which has also angered many members who want Labour to adopt an unequivocal pro-European Union position.

Why is it so difficult to distinguish between anti-Semitism and justified criticism of Israel’s apartheid policies?
The Israelis are deliberately trying to mix things up actually.
Stop using the word Apartheid please. Your journal is terrific but such yes blatant anti Jew nonsense should be erased from your vocabulary. I have met Muslim judges I have met Christian border guards in Israel. Call it Palestine call it Timbuktu but you lie man.There are Muslim read Palestinian Knesset members. Even Jimmy Carter beholden to the Saudis said the word is too strong. Please dont go against the prophet Mohammed pbuh please be honest. Please dont be another anti Jew monger.
Palestinians go to same movie house restaurants ride the same buses as Jews. There is no apartheid a la South Africa. Do not be idiotic.
We do not deny any good qualities of Israel. It is not all or none.
We are promoting equal rights of minorities in every country of the world. We see the right and left wing politics in each country.
In India we realize the differences between BJP and Congress and in USA we see how the Republicans and Democrats are different.
Thank you for your reply.
I appreciate everything you say. However the word apartheid has a final say such as the word murder. Israel is not an apartheid state.
