(Jewish Group) Labour's Gardiner says Corbyn isn't antisemitic, just 'critical of Israel politics'

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Labour's Barry Gardiner has said Jeremy Corbyn and his party have wrongly been accused of antisemitism, saying the leader has merely been "critical of the politics of Israel".

The Shadow Secretary for International Trade claimed it was "important" to have "clarity" over the Labour leader's record on the issue.

He said: "What Jeremy has always done is be critical of the politics of Israel and the way Israel has dealt with the Palestinian question.

"And he has been absolutely unequivocal on that. He has not and the party has not, in my view, been antisemitic.
