Whatever the result of the Chakrabarti inquiry, we now know that the Labour Party has decided that it is acceptable for members to assert that wealthy Jews have enslaved people. By lifting the suspension of Jackie Walker, who wrote that Jews were the "chief financiers" of the slave trade, the party at least removed the pretence that, under Jeremy Corbyn, it cares about antisemitism. Ms Walker's statement was a classic antisemitic trope, its crackpot "history" asserted - as with Ken Livingstone last month - as if it was an uncomfortable truth rather than a form of hate speech. Reacting to her readmission, Ms Walker blamed a "McCarthyite" conspiracy for her suspension, unaware of how revealing this was about her own mindset. In which vein, this week's Vice documentary was equally telling of the Labour leader's attitude. Responding to a measured, sober piece by Jonathan Freedland about the party's antisemitism problem, Mr Corbyn dismissed it as "utterly disgusting, subliminal nastiness". Not the antisemitism, itself - but a piece pointing out the problem. Is it any wonder that the party he leads is happy to have as a member a woman peddling antisemitic conspiracy theories?
