For the first time in living memory, the Jewish community is deeply afraid of one of our two main parties. What makes matters worse is that this is the very party that, until recently, had felt like a natural home for many in the Jewish community. Labour is a party that is supposed to protect the interests of workers, ensure care and dignity for the vulnerable and advocate for marginalised groups. What has become clear is that the Labour party no longer considers that Jewish people require this support. And this is why I am standing against Jeremy Corbyn in Islington north.
There is a left-wing idea that power structures must be challenged. When this view is combined with the thought that Jews are a disproportionately powerful group, it is a small step in the direction of wanting to tackle supposed Jewish 'power'.
