That's all because of a campaign run by a heavily right-wing paper, The Jewish Chronicle, and other rightwing press outlets such as the Telegraph and the Daily Mail, to smear Jeremy Corbyn when he was leader of the opposition. The claim was that the Labour party had large numbers of internal complaints of antisemitism that the party wasn't investigating. What wasn't mentioned was that one guy wrote over half of those complaints. And Corbyn wasn't effective at perception management.
When Starmer came in, he pushed out anyone in the party who had ever uttered "Palestine" or "ethnic cleansing." That shut down the smear campaign. and got rid of some leftists he could replace with centrists.
Meanwhile, the covertly antisemitic Conservatives and the sometimes openly antisemitic Reform Party get a relatively free ride in the press, unless some candidate gets caught denying the Shoah in public or mentioning the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.
That doesn't surprise me. Regardless, I haven't heard of any labour mouthpieces being openly antisemitic, but a hell of a lot of MAGA mouthpieces are.
