the British irony thing was the most repulsive thing he's said though tbh.

But that's the point in a way, granted it was somewhat crass and tasteless - but compared to what Farage said, or indeed the far from unknown Tory conspiracy theorising about Soros?
I think most of the people raising these questions though don't support Farange or the Tories...

I think the hyperbole about how Corbyn would being about new concentration camps is pretty absurd but there's a lot of red flags that aren't being addressed well....see that image posted by me on the first page. Does posting images like that from a white supremacist website only fall under "criticism of Israel"?

Again, no one has said or implied Corbyn would do that.  It’s just a strawman Horus and certain maroon avatars are whipping out in an attempt to discredit legitimate concerns about Corbyn’s anti-Semitism.
I've seen posts here talking about "the likely refugee crisis" of Jews fleeing the UK if he became PM so no it's not a strawman. But handwaving or simply ignoring all the issues with him is absurd too.

47% of British Jews say they plan to emigrate if he becomes PM. This isn't a hypothetical.

The worst case scenario of Corbyn trying to seal the borders and kill all of Britain's Jews is highly unlikely - mostly due to him not having the power. But him using every tool at his disposal to create a hostile climate for Jews, including winking at third-party violence in the way Trump does at far-right violence? That's not a big leap and it could definitely result in a very fast exodus from the UK for several hundred thousand people.

Talk about extreme hyperbole.

This shows that in the UK, the rates of anti-semitism are
4% of left-wing
4% of center
14% of right-wing
