Corbyn lauded the new edition of J.A. Hobson’s original 1902 book Imperialism: A Study, released in 2011, four years before he became the leader of Labour, which has been accused of permitting anti-Semitism in the party.

The book also states, “Does anyone seriously suppose that a great war could be undertaken by any European State, or a great State loan subscribed, if the house of Rothschild and its connections set their face against it?”
