Extraordinary Jewish Chronicle Front Page Editorial Opposing Jeremy Corbyn

To understand why the editorial below (you can read the text here) is so extraordinary, one needs to take into account three things: (1) For most of the party's history, British Jews voted in large majorities for the Labour Party; (2) The British Jewish community tends to be, collectively, quiet and reserved, to "keep its head down," so to speak, and not call attention to itself; and (3) the Jewish Chronicle is about as mainstream and staid a newspaper as there is.
