Jewish socialists condemn 'concocted hysteria' by newspapers targeting Labour leader
Jewish Socialists' Group's David Rosenberg slams titles claiming Corbyn poses an 'existential threat' to Britain's Jewish community
Cynical stunt: the joint front page of the three papers

JEWISH socialists condemned “concocted hysteria” today after three newspapers alleged that a Labour government would pose an “existential threat” to Britain’s Jewish community.

David Rosenberg of the Jewish Socialists’ Group said the unprecedented step by the Jewish Chronicle, the Jewish News and the Jewish Telegraph was “phenomenal nonsense.”

Under the headline: “United We Stand,” the three Jewish newspapers claimed that Labour’s decision to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-semitism but append guidance on interpreting some of its attached examples was “sinister.”
