JVL activist sparks complaint for saying antisemitism is 'privileged' over other forms of racism

A Jewish Voice For Labour activist has sparked anger after complaining about the “privileging of racism against Jews” compared to discrimination “against black people, Muslim people and migrants”.

Jo Bird, a Wirral Labour member and former local council candidate, made the claim in an article on Labour Briefing, the publication of the left-wing Labour Representation Committee, which is chaired by the party’s Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell.

Ms Bird, who also calls for the expulsion of activist Marc Wadsworth to be overturned and the suspension of Jackie Walker to be dropped, writes: "JVL calls for disciplinary hearings to be paused until a due process has been established based on principles of natural justice - what I call 'Jew process'.

Welcoming Wirral Constituency Labour Party's decision to affiliate with JVL, Ms Bird writes that the pro-Jeremy Corbyn Jewish group has "a central role to play both in dealing with antisemitism as well as false allegations of antisemitism”.

She adds: "We don’t receive money from the state of Israel nor its agencies."

I don't know if it's because I don't follow British politics close enough to follow this or if there is a logical conflict within the looney beliefs.
