Daily: Jews and the Left – Why antisemitism isn’t over

<p>Antisemitism remains one of the Labour Party’s most painful problems. It’s an issue with deep roots, dragged up by Corbyn, and left to Starmer to deal with. Trade unionist <strong>Daniel Randall</strong>, author of Confronting Antisemitism on the Left, and sociologist <strong>Keith Kahn-Harris</strong>, join Dorian Lynskey to discuss what distinguishes left from right wing anti-Jewish racism, and what can be done about it.</p><ul><li><em>“The 2007 financial crisis brought antisemitism on the left to the fore.” - </em><strong><em>Daniel Randall</em></strong></li><li><em>“Gaslighting and denial is just as harmful as antisemitism itself.” - </em><strong><em>Keith Kahn-Harris</em></strong></li><li><em>“In some analyses, capitalism is coded as a specifically Jewish endeavour.” - </em><strong><em>Daniel Randall</em></strong></li><li><em>“Antisemitism has a complicated ideology. It's not just, 'Jews bad, non-Jews good.'“ - </em><strong><em>Daniel Randall</em></strong></li><li><em>“There's a moralistic element to Corbyn's politics, and it's difficult to situate Jews within that.” - </em><strong><em>Daniel Randall</em></strong></li><li><em>“Anti-racism is a lifelong struggle.
