# Labour Party Antisemitism Dispute

Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has criticized current party leader Sir Keir Starmer for repeatedly describing Labour as "institutionally antisemitic." According to Corbyn's statement to Middle East Eye, Starmer's claims represent "misrepresentations and broken undertakings" that are "unfortunately part of a pattern under his leadership."

The dispute centers on Starmer's characterization of antisemitism within Labour during the period when Corbyn led the party. Corbyn's response suggests he views these statements as inaccurate and part of a broader pattern of conduct he objects to under Starmer's leadership of the organization.

This public disagreement underscores continuing tensions between the former and current Labour leadership over how the party's historical handling of antisemitism allegations should be characterized and understood.
