Jonathan Arkush, the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, has called on the Labour leadership to “exorcise” the party’s “antisemitic demons”, following a string of incidents within the party.Earlier this month, Mr Corbyn came under pressure to suspend Vicki Kirby, the vice chair of the Labour’s Working branch, who was promoted despite tweeting that Jews have “big noses” and “slaughter the oppressed”.In the past few days, it has also emerged that Labour councillor and former Lord Mayor of Bradford Khadim Hussain was suspended from the Party after promoting a cartoon on social media bemoaning the emphasis schools place on teaching the Holocaust “and the six million Zionists that were killed.”
