(Jewish Group) British Labour Party omits Jews from campaign video that promotes rights for all

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

The Labour Party failed to mention Jews in an elections campaign video that champions diversity and the rights of over 20 groups.

The 68-second video released this week features images of British people, towns and cities, along with a September speech by Dawn Butler, who holds the party’s Women and Equalities portfolio.

Butler lists various population groups, including people who are LGBT+, straight, Roma, black, white, Asian, disabled, “struggling to pay rent” or “wear a hijab, turban, a cross.” She assures that “a Labour government will value you, just be your true authentic self.”

While Jews make up 0.37 percent of the United Kingdom’s population, leaders of major Jewish groups suggested the omission was not connected to the minority’s limited electoral strength.

Yeah, this is not at all surprising. Whistle whilst they work.

Corbyn apologises for antisemitism in Labour party

Of course, the predictable whining about it being a "RW hit job" is inevitable. See, anti-Semitism is only wrong when the other side does it!
