I agree it’s not antisemitic but not ‘clearly’.
The problem with these conspiracy theories is that when you plunge your arm into the toilet of their origin, you tend to hit antisemitism when you reach the u-bend. The American ‘deep state’ is apparently a group of Jews, the people who control the world economy are apparently a group of Jews. The vast majority of conspiracy theories are only one click away from an antisemitism trope. Oddly though, most originate from the far right and fascists rather than Muslims.
In the case of Mr Ali, he either has very poor judgment in not recognising the political toxicity of these theories, or he is as-thick-as-f***ing-dogshit for believing such a ridiculous story or he is antisemitic. It’s clear to me that he ticks the first two boxes and is unfit for office. He also leaves himself open to accusations of the third from those whom know that Starmer and the Labour Party are going to cost them a lot of money. People like Lord Rothermere.
