Ruth Smeeth is indeed an avid supporter of the Israeli regime and campaigns within an official body to get the boycott of Israeli goods lifted. I think she's severely deluded but she's entitled to her opinion. The old boy who left her floods of tears at the launch of the Chakrabarti report DID NOT KNOW THAT SHE WAS A JEW. His criticism as expressed and widely reported was absolutely nothing like a "traditional antisemitic slur." She accused him of being in Momentum (big deal anyway), which he denied. It could have been made about anyone in cahoots with the right-wing press, Jew or non-Jew. Plenty of non-Jews get involved in conspiracy theories, and HE DID NOT KNOW THAT SHE WAS A JEW. As a matter of fact he's been a prominent campIgner against racism and discrimination for decades and has condemned antisemitism. The abuse she has received online is vile. So, Keith, what should Jeremy do about it? Demand the identities of all 25000 abusers from their ISPs? Do you think they'd tell him? How do you know how many of them are really Labour members, or are you indulging in guesswork? Your Brexit friends' racist and xenophobic comments during the referendum campaign almost certainly provoked a significant increase in race attacks. Bit of a parallel there, I'd say. What are you going to do about Farage, Gove and Johnson then, Keith?   Indulge in silence and denial?

And one more thing, Keith. Twice now you have criticised "you two" for joining in attacks on her and smearing her. Well this post contains my very first mention of her, or indeed any allusion to her at all. You are a thoroughly dishonest man whose words should never be trusted.
