Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer
JEWISH campaigners backed calls today for the Labour Party leadership to urgently address its “brutal” and “unjust” treatment of a pro-Palestinian Jewish group within the party.
Jewish Voice for Labour (JVL) said that Labour’s “malevolent machine,” against the left has been “very painful” for Jewish activists accused of anti-semitism for supporting Palestinian rights.
The group was responding to a letter sent by former shadow chancellor John McDonnell to Labour leader Keir Starmer and general secretary David Evans last week.
