Corbyn critic and long standing Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge tells LBC that 'anti-Semitism has been eradicated from Labour' but she is worried about anti-Semites' reaction to the Hamas attack.
Talking to LBC's Henry Riley from the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Dame Margaret Hodge reflected on the Israel-Gaza conflict: "It's unimaginably horrific and deeply, deeply disturbing for the future of peace in the Middle East.""At this moment in time, this is not a good time for anti-Semitism worldwide," the Labour MP said."What has happened in Israel has incited anti-Semitism here in the UK.
""But as you talk to me today, this is not a good day for anti-semites," she said of those demonstrating in support of Hamas. "The impact that that this tragedy has had on encouraging a new wave of anti-Semitism is scary."Dame Hodge said as a country we should be "prepared to give every inch of help that we can" to Israel because it is "our ally and friend"."I do worry about families in Golders Green.
