You really couldn't make it up, the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership have been found wanting and his reply is "the scale of anti-Semitism within Labour had been "dramatically overstated" by opponents".

What is it about Socialists that they hate Jews.

I think it is because many Jews are financially astute and successful - and indeed many of the big financial institutions were founded by Jewish families many years ago and still bear their names (Rothschilds, Goldman Sachs etc.)  They are seen as being amongst the most 'capitalist' of the financial world.

In fact most Jews are hard working and have often done well through being careful with their money, something the left despise.

But shouldn't everything be provided by the state?

You forgot to mention our loyalty to the Queen, at every synagogue we read a prayer on the sabbath for her good health.

Indeed - and also many good works and philanthropic activities.  I have great respect for the Jewish community, but there has long been a resentment by the left of successful people (this goes both way outside the UK and way back in time) and in particular those in finance who have made large fortunes through astute investment. 

I don't know really why the Jewish families were so successful as bankers and financiers, but both hard work and a conservative (strictly with a small 'c') probably played their part.

It is very easy when 'rabble rousing' on the left to blame the 'greedy bankers' for business failures.  It goes down well with the mob.  You never hear about all of the business founded with help from the banks and financiers.

I thought the Left Wingers dislike of Jews was due to the Palestine situation.  

It goes way back further than that to the 'anti capitalist' attitudes, but that is also a factor.

There is an article here https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/01/shame-of-anitsemitism-on-left-has-long-malign-history
