UK: Corbyn pans Jewish journalist for coverage of anti-Semitism claims

 Corbyn repeatedly said he takes antisemitism seriously.  Here's the 'behind-the-scenes' look at how seriously he takes it.

Via Times of Israel:

UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn takes aim at top British Jewish journalist Jonathan Freedland in a new fly-on-the-wall documentary aired Wednesday, accusing the veteran Guardian columnist of “subliminal nastiness” in his coverage of the claims of widespread anti-Semitism in the party.

Corbyn said on film that Freedland is “kind of obsessed” with him, basing his claim on a column piece in which the journalist accuses Labour of having an anti-Semitism problem.

In a phone call with his director of strategy Seumas Milne, Corbyn accused Freeland of “utterly disgusting subliminal nastiness” over the March opinion piece entitled “Labour and the left have an anti-Semitism problem.”

“He’s not a good guy at all. He seems kind of obsessed with me,” Corbyn says of Freedland.
