Why hasn't Corbyn or anyone else said something like this. "You accuse the Labour Party or you're stating we're being accused of serious antisemitism, to such a degree we're an existential threat to the entire Jewish community of this country. We refute this and we're bending over backwards and beyond to root out the merest trace of antisemitism in the Party. But supposing this were true, why then is this party being supported by millions and millions of your fellow citizens? If they are happy voting for a seriously anti-semitic party, it follows that these millions of your fellow citizens must also be anti-semitic, or at the very least, not care about antisemitism, which would be just as egregious. The only one other logical explanation to this highly worrying scenario is that Labour is not anti-Semitic, that your fellow citizens understand this and will vote Labour for all the good reasons that Labour is promoting in this election. So which is it, do you think - that many millions of your fellow citizens are themselves seriously antisemitic, or that this claim of antisemitism in Labour is basically a lie and your fellow citizens are able to see through this lie rather better perhaps than you can?.
