Inflmmatory remarks like above do not hide the reality, spoken by one who knows.

His actual words were: Antisemitism has been a stain on our party.......
and I will tear out this poison by it's roots!"

I imagine the leader knows a tad more about the problem than any commentator on this forum. He starts 8mins 40secs into his speech.
It seems very clear and unequivocal to me.
This is of course backed up by the government quango enquiring into the problem of antisemitism within the Labour party- a dubious honour only shared by the National Front.

There are those who continually bury their heads in the sand and try to deny there is a problem, but the electorate perceives otherwise.
From the Guardian post election:
Graham Jones, the former Labour whip, said the campaign became so bad in his constituency of Hyndburn that canvassers began to play a form of “Corbyn bingo” as they counted the votes leaking away from usual Labour supporters.

“Four out five voters would not vote for Corbyn and his policies. Door one wouldn’t vote for him because he was scruffy; the next person wouldn’t vote for him because of antisemitism in the party; the next because of connections with Hamas; and the next because he seemed unable to lead. On one road, you might get the full set,” he said.
