[], "text": "A Jewish former UK Labour lawmaker has condemned the frontrunners in the race to replace Jeremy Corbyn as party leader, saying they were \u201ccowards\u201d in confronting the rampant anti-Semitism in the party and were unfit to lead.\n\nRuth Smeeth, who lost her seat in the December election, has headed the Jewish Labour Movement, which broke with Corbyn, accusing him of anti-Semitism.\n\nWriting in the Jewish Chronicle on Tuesday, Smeeth slammed the leading contenders like Rebecca Long-Bailey, Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry, saying they were hypocrites as the anti-Semitism debate raged in the party.\n\nGet The Times of Israel's Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up\n\n\u201cToo many leaders-in-waiting were prepared to speak out if it was politically convenient, not because it was the right thing to do,\u201d Smeeth wrote. \u201cThat means that no currently serving member of the Shadow Cabinet deserves our vote.\u201d\n\n\u201cThey have been timid when we needed strength,\u201d she said. They have failed us when we needed them most. They enabled Mr Corbyn and his friends to make us a target.\u201d\n\n\u201cFor me, therefore, expunging anti-Jewish hate from our politics must mean that the next leader of the Labour Party has to be one of the backbenchers who have stood by us, whether that\u2019s Jess Phillips, Lisa Nandy, Dan Jarvis or Yvette Cooper. They have all shown leadership on racism when others were cowards,\u201d Smeeth wrote.\n\nBritish Jews deserted the party in droves because they believed that the Labour Party had become institutionally anti-Semitic under Corbyn, a pro-Palestinian politician who was elected to lead the party in 2015.\n\nCorbyn has been accused of failing to deal with hundreds of incidents of anti-Semitism within his party, as well as his reluctance for the party to agree to a definition of anti-Semitism that included some anti-Israel language.\n\nHis ties to members of the Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups and photos of him laying a wreath at the grave of a Palestinian terrorist also sparked worries among UK Jews and Israelis, who feared that the Jewish state could lose its close alliance with the UK if Corbyn won.\n\nIn an unprecedented move, the chief rabbi of Britain, Ephraim Mirvis last month published an op-ed in The Times of London, effectively calling on voters not to vote for Labour over the anti-Semitism issue, saying that Corbyn is \u201ccomplicit in prejudice.\u201d\n\nHowever, Smeeth urged Jews to remain involved in the party and help choose the next leader, saying it was the only way to take back Labour from the anti-Semites.\n\n\u201cThe next leader of the Labour Party can either make zero tolerance of antisemitism within our own ranks an immediate priority or they can continue to empower and facilitate racists, allowing the politics of hate to drive our politics,\u201d she wrote.\n\n\u201cWhich means the outcome of this election is vital for the community. You can sit back and let the horror of anti-Jewish hate continue to pervade the Labour Party or you can join the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) and get a vote for the next leader. I beg you to do the latter.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhat happens next in combating anti-Jewish hate does depend on who wins the leadership election. But what I can promise you is that although I may no longer be an MP, this is not a fight I will be walking away from. But I\u2019m going to need your help to fix it.", "keywords": [], "meta_keywords": [""], "tags": ["Ruth Smeeth", "See All", "Full Coverage Times of Israel podcasts", "Full Coverage Israel media review", "Full Coverage 2020 US presidential elections", "anti-Semitism in the Labour Party", "Full Coverage 2019-2020 Israeli elections", "Jeremy Corbyn"], "authors": [], "publish_date": null, "summary": "", "article_html": "", "meta_description": "Ruth Smeeth says leading contenders only paid lip service to rooting out anti-Jewish sentiment in party, urges Jews to remain involved and support those who stood by community", "meta_lang": "en", "meta_favicon": "https://static.timesofisrael.com/www/uploads/2018/11/toi_icon_512-200x200.png", "meta_data": {"viewport": "width=1024", "description": "Ruth Smeeth says leading contenders only paid lip service to rooting out anti-Jewish sentiment in party, urges Jews to remain involved and support those who stood by community", "msapplication-TileImage": "https://static.timesofisrael.com/www/images/toi_icon_144.png", "msapplication-TileColor": "#ffffff", "theme-color": "#ffffff", "fb": {"app_id": 123142304440875}, "og": {"url": "https://www.timesofisrael.com/jewish-ex-labour-mp-leaders-vying-to-replace-corbyn-cowards-on-anti-semitism/", "type": "article", "title": "Jewish ex-Labour MP: leaders vying to replace Corbyn \u2018cowards\u2019 on anti-Semitism", "description": "Ruth Smeeth says leading contenders only paid lip service to rooting out anti-Jewish sentiment in party, urges Jews to remain involved and support those who stood by community", "image": {"identifier": "https://static.timesofisrael.com/www/uploads/2019/12/AP_19325488270134-e1576462935162-1024x640.jpg", "width": 1024, "height": 640}}, "twitter": {"card": "summary_large_image", "site": "timesofisrael", "title": "Jewish ex-Labour MP: leaders vying to replace Corbyn \u2018cowards\u2019 on anti-Semitism", "description": "Ruth Smeeth says leading contenders only paid lip service to rooting out anti-Jewish sentiment in party, urges Jews to remain involved and support those who stood by community", "image": "https://static.timesofisrael.com/www/uploads/2019/12/AP_19325488270134-e1576462935162-1024x640.jpg"}}, "canonical_link": "https://www.timesofisrael.com/jewish-ex-labour-mp-leaders-vying-to-replace-corbyn-cowards-on-anti-semitism/"}
