1/ "Antisemitism in Labour" is the sound of two idpol hands clapping. The weak and clumsy left hand was under the impression that racism = power + privilege: as long as you're truly for the wretched of the earth who cares if you offend the sensibilities of some "privileged" Jews.
It would have worked just as well and just as quickly in the US if Sanders weren't Jewish.

With Sanders there is only the Sarsour connection. Sarsour had a soft spot for Farrakhan. Corbyn's Labour has many more connections to what could be construed as antisemitism. Plus, Corbyn's faction is much more pro-Palestinian than Sanders', so that makes them a fatter target.
