“Too many people in the Labour Party believed it was just a case of a few bad apples for far too long,” said former Labour Party MP Joan Ryan at the ADL’s “Never Is Now” summit. “By the time Labour became institutionally anti-Semitic, it was far too late to root out the Jew-haters.”

Of British Jewry, she says: “They’re fearful of not having their voice, and not being able to live in a decent and tolerable society that’s based on equality and respect, and not being able to see their children grow up in a community free of racism. We should all want that for our children.”
