British politician urged to apologize for anti-Semitic remark

Nearly 90 peers have urged Baroness Jenny Tonge to apologize for claiming the Chief Rabbi of Britain “must be dancing in the street” after the general election which saw the Labour party headed by Jeremy Corbyn suffer its worst defeat since the 1930s.

Tonge, a former Liberal Democrat politician known for her anti-Israel views, took to Facebook following Thursday’s election and wrote, “The Chief Rabbi must be dancing in the street. The pro-Israel lobby won our General Election by lying about Jeremy Corbyn.”
