Last weekend, Corbyn participated in a debate with his challenger for the party leadership, Owen Smith, in front of an audience of Jewish voters organized by the Jewish Labour Movement and Labour Friends of Israel.

The victor of the leadership election will be announced around 11.45am BST this Saturday at Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool.
“That is only half the story”.
Taking aim at Jeremy Corbyn, Miliband is vicious in his criticism of the Labour leader’s foreign and domestic policies.
She said Mr Smith’s policies were also radical and there was not much difference between the two in that regard.
“Anti-austerity speeches can not explain everything; corporate taxation can not pay for everything”.
“Far too many people in the Labour party are personally economically comfortable with a Tory government in power”, he added.
In a New Statesman article, Mr Miliband, who lost to his brother Ed in 2010, said Labour was now a “secondary influence” on national decision making.
Many shadow cabinet members resigned over the summer in protest at Corbyn’s leadership and a majority of the party’s MPs voted no confidence in him but the veteran socialist has clung on, saying that he has helped boost the party’s membership to record numbers.
Murray said elections to the shadow cabinet are “something Jeremy Corbyn used to support”, adding that the leader had been “one of the biggest opponents of removing shadow cabinet elections”.
Jeremy Corbyn is reassuring; he told the BBC that he has thus far avoided responding to unpleasant remarks during the campaign and wants to “wipe the slate clean”.
Some Labour lawmakers have said they are thinking about creating a new centre-left party although analysts say most will do everything to avoid this.
“Let’s have a minister for disarmament and a minister for peace as well who is pursuing those things around the world and looking to enforce the non-proliferation treaty rather than pretending it’s an obstacle to rearmament”.
A Jeremy Corbyn campaign video has sparked anger after supporters were shown dismissing and deflecting claims of anti-Semitism.
Former Tory defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth branded the remarks “the politics of the madhouse”.
Jane was the first of three wives, the second of which Jeremy Corbyn married in 1987.
‘It’s completely Orwellian – but it’s also very unsafe’. “What surprised me in the last few days is that we have not had any calls for unity from Owen Smith”, a spokesman said.
And John Key’s got the tax cut carrot up his sleeve in his bid for a fourth term which will be hard to counter, particularly if that old maxim is right: oppositions don’t win elections, governments lose them. He could increase his landslide winning margin after Mr Smith’s misfiring campaign.
But the former work and pensions spokesman ruled out a return to the shadow cabinet which he quit in June along with a raft of senior Labour figures. Mr Smith pushed Ms Eagle out of the race after securing more nominations from MPs.

“Mr Corbyn needs to answer these questions urgently so that we know whether he really is a committed anti-racist or whether, astonishingly, he endorses a sentiment that gives a free pass to racism against Jews”.
