Jörg Schindler in Der Spiegel on - once again - anti-Semitism and Corbyn:

'Corbyn, though, can't seem to find his way out of the corner into which he has painted himself. It sometimes seems as though he is offended that not everyone believes anymore what his party continues to insist: namely that the Labour leader "doesn't have an anti-Semitic bone in his body."

Earlier this month, Corbyn took the step writing an op-ed for the Guardian, in which he admitted that Labour has a "real problem" that will no longer be tolerated. "People who dish out anti-Semitic poison need to understand: You do not do it in my name. You are not my supporters and have no place in our movement," Corbyn wrote. He said he intends to rebuild trust between his party and the 300,000 Jews living in Britain.

But Corbyn will also have to come up with a strategy for winning back the trust of the rest of the country. After months of leading in the public opinion polls, Labour has once again slid behind the Tories, which is hard to do given the governing party's deep divides and turbulent government.

Indeed, it is a deep irony that a socialist has unwittingly become responsible for saving the Conservatives.'

It's sometimes hard to distinguish between insensitivity and racism or in this case anti-Semitism, but it's clear that Corbyn was unwilling or unable to solve the problem much earlier.
That happens quite often, some human beings, especially politicians, like the wound to fester.
