Anti-semitism exists in all areas of society, we must do all we can to call it out and report it when we see it. Weaponisation of anti-semitism is no less troubling and we must also call this out when we see it.
This is a collection of factual information and easily sharable images concerning anti-Semitism, backed up with sources, to assist you in defending Labour online or on the doorstep. Thank you to everybody who has produced the work I have collected here!

OBSTRUCTION OF THE DISCIPLINARY PROCESS
How right-wing Labour staff and Mps obstructed Labours disciplinary process whilst publicly criticising it was too slow:
Margaret Hodge submitted 200 anti-semitism complaints to Labour about 111 people, 91 of those people were not even members of the Labour Party. Source

"If next week's BBC Panorama is based on anything that preceded Jennie Formby then it is most certainly a hatchet job.
A senior Labour source back in 2016 vented frustration to me about how Labour staffers opposed to Corbyn were deliberately obstructing AS investigations to make the party look bad. Now they appear to have been blaming their own disgraceful behaviour on Jeremy Corbyn.
After Jenny Formby, a Corbyn supporter, took over from Ian McNichol, a vocal opponent of leadership, the rate of investigations into AS increased fourfold. That's surely all we need to know. Cynicism & corruption of the highest order. Sincerely hope BBC hasn't fallen for it."
