Meticulously researched while reading like a fast-paced thriller, this explosive new book details the way the Israel lobby deployed charges of anti-Semitism to destroy Jeremy Corbyns bid for power as leader of the Labour Party.In an electrifying account, investigative journalist Asa Winstanley shows how Labours anti-Semitism crisis was manufactured by pro-Israel groups. Despised and feared by Israel and its allies because of his long-standing support for the Palestine solidarity movement, Jeremy Corbyn became a target of enemies determined to abort his left-wing project.Drawing on new interviews with many of those victimized in purges the Labour leadership claimed were necessary to tackle anti-Semitism, Winstanley exposes a plot by the Israel lobby, in alliance with the Labour right and Israeli and British intelligence agencies, to prevent a socialist entering Downing Street.An essential historical corrective, Weaponising Anti-Semitism shines light into the murkiest corners of the British state and those who work with it.Essential reading . . . a comprehensive answer to right wing propagandists who endorse this manufactured campaign . . .Ken LoachA much-needed comprehensive (and meticulously documented) dissection of one of the most scandalously misreported and misrepresented episodes in recent British politicsAbdel Bari AtwanEveryone should read Weaponising Anti-Semitism.
