Anti-Semitism isn't new to the UK Labour Party, and its recent anti-Semitic outbursts shouldn't surprise anyone. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has ordered an "independent inquiry" into the party's anti-Semitism. Douglas Murray, a Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Gatestone Institute, explains in the video below how Labour's anti-Semitism problem starts at top of the party, and why this inquiry won't solve anything.

This is the first installment in Gatestone's new video series, produced with the help of our friends at TheRebel.media.

Simple arithmetic tells why Labour Loves Islam and is anti-Semitic. There are only about 250,000 Jews in the UK, and the Jewish population is not increasing. There are 4 million Muslims in the UK and the Muslim population in 20 years will be the biggest voting block. This is why the Labour Party has betrayed the British working classes and become the party of Islam.

Excellent video and I hope that Douglas Murray will be interviewing and challenging some of Labour's vociferous Israel-bashers.

The Labour Party historically is a failed party, whenever they obtain power the country goes belly up. There cannot be, unfortunately! equal shares for everyone.

Corbyn has forceful statements for everything the govt is doing. His affiliations with terrorist groups is a solid indicator as to his personal ambitions. He is not only anti-Semitic but anti-British. He seems to be carrying around a working class chip (no mountain) on his shoulder.

Corbyn is a windbag who has been given an opportunistic platform to work from where he misuses his oratory ability to misdirect the public and to engender damage to a working government. A despicable and dangerous entity who's efforts are synonymous with the ranting and ravings of historical lunatic dictators.

This is really England on the line. I am a born and bred Britisher, but live in India, we are undergoing similar problems in India, facing paid mouthpieces with paid for, personal agenda's for fame.

I appreciate the work that Gatestone does by publishing factual and informative articles. Thankyou.
