NotesThis collection of 18 essays addresses antisemitism in its new and resurgent forms. Against a backdrop of concerning political developments such as rising nationalism and illiberalism on the right, new forms of intolerance and anti-liberal movements on the left, and militant deeds and demands by Islamic extremists, the contributors to this timely and necessary volume seek to better understand and effectively contend with today's antisemitism.

Chapter 15:
In 2015, in the aftermath of a second election defeat in a row, the British Labour Party experienced a major convulsion. It elected a hitherto marginal figure, Jeremy Corbyn, as its leader. This was presented by Corbyn and his supporters as a move to the radical left, a claim that has been largely taken as self-evident, although it is by no means the case. Much depends on what is meant by the radical left, which has taken several different forms over time, not least in relation to the question of antisemitism.
