Weaponising Anti-Semitism: How the Israel Lobby Brought Down Jeremy Corbyn
Asa Winstanley, OR Books, £14.99
IN this meticulously researched book, journalist Asa Winstanley probes a taboo topic avoided by the mainstream press and even by some stalwart left-wing activists.
Weaponising Anti-Semitism describes how numerous Labour Party activists and former leader Jeremy Corbyn were falsely accused of being anti-semites or tolerating anti-semitism. Winstanley dismantles these allegations piece by piece and dispels the myth that anti-semitism was in any way endemic within Labour under Corbyn’s leadership.
The author cuts through aspersions and accusations with facts.
