The issue of Anti-Semitism is a difficult one to enter into .
You can clearly see the Anti-Semitism of Right Wing and Nazi grops but there is also allegations that it exist on the Left and particularly the Labour Party.
Plaid supporters have had more than a fair share of accusations from Labour members over allegations that the leaders in the 1930's (Saunders Lewis Ambrose Bebb) were Anti-Semitic , though the evidence is entirely evident.
But I don't take delight in the accusations against Jeremy Corbyn
News report such as this on Sky News have given the impression that Mr Corbyn may hold such views
The BBC has extensively covered the issue , but actual evidence is scarce.
That does not mean it does not exist. Certainly those on the left who think that attacking Capitalism is a green light for attacking Jews.
There are also those who quite rightly deplore Israel treatment of the Palestinians and make the error of equating all Jews with a state that is behaving appallingly and constantly breaking International law.
Ironically Israel sees to get support from Right wing fractions whose Islamophobia s greater than their Anti-Semitism.
Though I don't think that you have to be a supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, to consider this is being used by the "Usual Suspects" of Anti-Corbyn MPs to smear Corbyn, whether the alligation have weight or not.
There is no room for Anti-Semitism in any UK part and it must be dealt with
But criticism of Israel should be greater and I see no reason why you can condemn bot Anti-Semitism and Israel if not in the same breath. equally.
There is no need to use the "I am not Anti-Semitic " line to do so/ but care should not be made in equating Israel with all Jews in the same way you would not equate Iran or Saudi Arabia with all Muslims,.

Jeremy Corbyn is the "figurehead of an anti-Semitic political culture" and there are "no safe spaces" for British Jews within the Labour Party, a top community leader has warned.An unprecedented protest by Jewish leaders, coordinated by the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) and the Board of Deputies of British Jews, will take place outside Parliament on Monday, putting Mr Corbyn under renewed pressure over allegations of Jew hatred within Labour.
Jewish community leaders will also deliver a letter to Labour MPs in advance of their weekly meeting.
It comes as Mr Corbyn saw an apology for "pockets of anti-Semitism" within Labour rejected by Jewish groups.
The Labour leader said he was "sincerely sorry for the pain which has been caused", but has been told the "time for words is over".
