A polemical account of Labour’s anti-Semitism crisis

Investigative journalist Asa Winstanley examines the controversy surrounding Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party and his bid for power. Drawing on interviews with people he says were affected by disciplinary purges, Winstanley argues that pro-Israel groups, Labour’s right wing, and intelligence agencies worked together to undermine Corbyn’s political project. The book presents the accusations of anti-Semitism and the party’s response as part of a wider political struggle, linking Labour’s internal conflict to debates over Israel and Palestine, socialism, and the British state. Its central claims are Winstanley’s interpretation of a contentious episode in recent British politics.

Book overview

Meticulously researched while reading like a fast-paced thriller, this explosive new book details the way the Israel lobby deployed charges of anti-Semitism to destroy Jeremy Corbyn's bid for power as leader of the Labour Party.


In an electrifying account, investigative journalist Asa Winstanley shows how Labour's anti-Semitism crisis was manufactured by pro-Israel groups. Despised and feared by Israel and its allies because of his long-standing support for the Palestine solidarity movement, Jeremy Corbyn became a target of enemies determined to abort his left-wing project.


Drawing on new interviews with many of those victimized in purges the Labour leadership claimed were necessary to tackle anti-Semitism, Winstanley exposes a plot by the Israel lobby, in alliance with the Labour right and Israeli and British intelligence agencies, to prevent a socialist entering Downing Street.


An essential historical corrective, Weaponising Anti-Semitism shines light into the murkiest corners of the British state and those who work with it.
