The website launch followed a BBC Panorama documentary in which several whistle-blowers accused Labour senior officials of interfering with the party’s antisemitism investigations and grossly misleading the public about their handling of mounting complaints.It also followed calls from several Jewish groups for Labour to confront the problem and for independent investigations into Labour's handling of the antisemitism crisis plaguing the party. The Board of Deputies of British Jews wrote in a letter that Labour was “letting off” people accused of antisemitism, after a leaked draft of its disciplinary process showed that some members could avoid punishment in serious cases where they had apologized and agreed to undergo education.On Monday, Corbyn is set to meet with his shadow cabinet to discuss the ongoing antisemitism problem in Labour.Ilanit Chernick contributed to this story.Today I'm launching the first in a series of education materials for our members to help them confront racism.Antisemitism has reared its ugly head in our movement and we must drive it out. I have learned so much, I hope you will too.https://t.co/zJiOJQf8Lq
