Rt. Hon. Joan Ryan, Executive Director, ELNET UK
from IsraelCast
As Jeremy Corbyn rose to power in Britain's Labour Party, the party grew increasingly antisemitic, isolating both Jews and those allies. Those allies include Rt. Hon Joan Ryan, a longtime member of Labour Friends of Israel who grew increasingly disillusioned at her party's turn towards Jew hatred. When she finally left the party, she cited antisemitism as the sole reason for her resignation. Host Steven Shalowitz sits down with Ryan to discuss how she got involved in British politics, why she is such a strong supporter of the Jewish community, and why she doesn't regret speaking out against antisemitism despite the backlash against her.
