who explicitly said in that very article, "I genuinely believe Corbyn does not have an anti-Semitic bone in his body".

If that's your "evidence" that Corbyn is a "raging antisemite", I hope you never represent me in court.

Since the Israeli government helped found Hamas for political expediency, consistency would demand that you condemn it as antisemitic.

Accusations of antisemitism are also used as a political tool, and it's a vile practice. I can point you to evidence about how that's a deliberate tactic in certain quarters.
