IN RECENT MONTHS there have been several attempts to smear Green Party co-leader Chloe Swarbrick as antisemitic by the Zionist lobby and supporters like ACT leader David Seymour and Deputy Leader Brooke Van Welden.

But the smear tactics employed against Swarbrick, a left wing supporter of the Palestinian cause, are not unique to New Zealand.  Oh, Jeremy Corbyn -The Big Lie, examines the lies and distortions that were deliberately peddled to frame Corbyn as antisemitic. But his only 'crime' was, as the socialist leader of one of Britain's two major political parties, he threatened the interests of the British ruling class.

The anti-Zionist UK group Jewish Voice for Labour says that:

'The team behind Oh, Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie make a good fist of setting out how the hopes of millions were destroyed. Director Chris Reeves is an old hand at producing videos and DVDs for trade unions, the public sector and campaigning organisations under the banner of Platform Films. Producer Norman Thomas’s script, engagingly narrated by popular Jewish comedian, writer and broadcaster Alexei Sayle, traces the relentless campaign of the political establishment to destroy the movement around Corbyn, terrified by the huge crowds attracted by his anti-capitalist, anti-war, anti-nuclear stance. As one activist quoted says: 'It’s not Jeremy they’re afraid of, it’s us.'
