Over the next few days, the Jewish people will remember their predecessors’ murderous persecution at the hands of ancient Egypt’s pharaoh. Interestingly, on the eve of this Passover, they received an official apology for a contemporary foreign leader’s rabid anti-Semitism.

Sir Keir Starmer was just elected to replace the man whose loathing of Jews and their homeland contributed to the British Labour Party’s crushing defeat late last year at the hands of the now-critically-ill Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Sir Keir immediately repudiated the policies of his notorious predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, saying, "anti-Semitism has been a stain on our party” and promising to “tear out this poison by its roots."

We’ll see if Labour’s partisans will actually implement this long-overdue course-correction. Meantime, we can only hope that their counterparts in America’s own anti-Semitic Democratic Party will do the same.
