Asa Winstanley’s book, Weaponising Anti-Semitism: How the Israel Lobby Brought Down Jeremy Corbyn is about the anti-Semitic slurs, smears, allegations, insinuations directed at the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership between 2015 and 2020. As a journalist for the pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist Electronic Intifada journal, Winstanley had a front row seat to the unfolding political drama in real time. Corbyn had primarily offered the British electorate an escape from domestic neo-liberalist policies which had dominated politics from the 1980s. Winstanley’s thesis is that certain individuals and Zionist advocacy groups sometimes working in tandem with elements of the Zionist colonial Apartheid state “brought down Jeremy Corbyn”.
