Britain’s Labour Party, which has been plagued by scandals of anti-Semitism under party leader Jeremy Corbyn, tweeted out a photo wishing Jews a “Happy Passover” that included a loaf of leavened bread in it.
Tablet’s Yair Rosenberg tweeted that the Labour Party account had deleted the graphic and replaced it with a different one:

The Labour Party was roundly mocked for the graphic on Twitter:

No joke: Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party, which is so sincerely concerned for and tuned it to the Jewish community, tweeted out a Passover greeting with a loaf of bread. pic.twitter.com/ZkziBxxtJY

At least nine Labour members have quit the party, stating that anti-Semitism had become too pervasive under Corbyn.
