PEACE campaigners have rejected another set of anti-semitism allegations against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn from outgoing Jewish Board of Deputies chief Jonathan Arkush as “an attempt to close down any criticism of Israel.”

Mr Arkush told the Daily Telegraph that Mr Corbyn’s “associations” with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and the Stop the War Coalition were evidence of anti-semitism, even accusing the PSC of having an anti-semitic logo which “has no room for Israel.”

The PSC logo consists of a circle comprised of two curved arrows in the colours of the Palestinian flag, though Mr Arkush might have been referring to an older logo depicting historic Palestine as it existed before the establishment of Israel in 1948, which saw 700,000 Palestinians driven from their homes.
