“JEWISH people use the NHS, education, the police and other public services. Jewish people who work in these services have seen their wages fall in real terms and colleagues resign because of the stresses of staff cuts. Jewish people use utilities. They kvetch when their broadband goes down. They have elderly parents and mental health problems and children who cannot afford high rents on low incomes so remain at home.”
Ruth, a working-class Jewish Labour Party member in Walthamstow, east London, is fuming about a particularly pernicious aspect of the “debate” in recent years around Labour, the Jewish community and antisemitism, typified by the Chief Rabbi’s partisan political intervention last week.
