@Northwest It's not the biggest factor but was factor.
Its mostly a smear campaign but like all successful smear campaigns it has some aspects of truth to build myths around. There have been instances of anti semetism and its been very heavily reported. There is no evidence that Labour has any more anti semetism than the population at large and my own personal experience (and that of Jewish friends) runs counter to the media narrative. The labour party is not institutionally anti semetic and if I thought it was, I would have left.
