What does an anti-Semitic party look like in Europe today? – As Britain debates antisemitism and the left, support for populist right-wing parties using hardline anti-Semitic messages is growing across the continent. | openDemocracy

The election to the Labour leadership of Jeremy Corbyn – a noted supporter of Palestine and critic of Israeli government policy – surprised many, not least those in his own party who regard him as too left-wing to win an election in Britain.
Opponents of Corbyn have claimed that his assumption of the leadership has coincided with a rise in antisemitism among Labour members, best exemplified by the suspension of Labour MP Naz Shah for posting an cartoon that suggested Israel be relocated in the US in 2014, and of Ken Livingstone who claimed Hitler was originally a Zionist. However, others have argued that the number of antisemitic attacks has been exaggerated and misconstrued and that anti-zionism does not equal antisemitism.
