“For five years Jeremy Corbyn was portrayed as a bigot leading an anti-Semitic Labour Party. This important book makes the case for the defence.” —Peter Oborne“A story that needs to be told.”—Chris Mullin“Winstanley tells this explosive story without fear, favour, or frills.”—Roger Waters“Extremely important. An informative page-turner, full of intrigue”—Katie Halper“Asa Winstanley is providing a vital service by writing this book."—Alexei Sayle“Essential reading … a comprehensive answer to right wing propagandists who endorse this manufactured campaign …”—Ken Loach“A much-needed comprehensive (and meticulously documented) dissection of one of the most scandalously misreported and misrepresented episodes in recent British politics.”—Abdel Bari Atwan“Everyone should read Weaponising Anti-Semitism. The same cynical methods Winstanley lays out here will be used against any groundswell that questions the politics of empire.”—Felix Biederman“The investigative reporter who has done more than anyone to expose what really lies behind the anti-Semitism smear campaign against Corbyn”—Jonathan Cook“Asa Winstanley’s investigative work in exposing the bogus nature of the anti-Semitism smear campaign in the Labour Party has been outstanding journalism”—John Pilger
