Momentum founder Jon Lansman has become the target of a vicious campaign of antisemitic abuse by left-wingers who accuse him of failing to back the pro-Corbyn Jewish Voice For Labour.

A JC investigation his discovered multiple examples of antisemitic social media messages directed at Mr Lansman over recent days.

The Jewish left-wing leader - who masterminded Mr Corbyn's Labour leadership campaign - has also been repeatedly attacked over claims he has attempted to intervene to stop abuse directed towards Luciana Berger MP.

The abuse comes after the JC reported that Mr Lansman felt the "very existence" of JVL was fuelling tension between the Jewish community and Labour.
