Well I thought Corbyn was trying for a period of rapprochement with the Jewish community - many of whom think of Israel as a spiritual home and a guarantee of their right to have somewhere in the world that can be a refuge - should the nazis or pogroms start up in their country.

This was interpreted by you as:-

'You CAN go to town criticising the Israeli regime, You CAN go to town on the illegal settlements and the proclaiming of Jerusalem as the capital of the Jews and you CAN go to town on the mass slaughter of unarmed civilians on the Gaza border. And you CAN go to town on all those depredations without being branded antisemitic. And Jonathan bloody Sacks can go to hell, despite the kneejerk calls of even allegedly decent papers for Jezza to "apologise" to him. '

Shall we say a slight difference of emphasis.
