Norman Finkelstein says that the same will happen to Bernie Sanders if he gains serious traction in the US 2020 presidential election. The ruling elite don't like what Corbyn stands for: he is against war; he doesn't like homelessness; he doesn't like people being hungry or cold; he believes workers should get a better deal and live in a more pleasant, fairer society.

“Jeremy Corbyn has faced a consistent campaign of opposition from centrist members of his own party.”
“Centrist” means extreme right-wing neoliberal.
“New Democrats” in the USA and “New Labour” in the UK are ultra-right-wing neoliberals who serve bankers, Israel, military contractors, and Wall Street / City of London.
In many ways they are much farther to the right than are Republicans / Tories.
Regarding the “anti-Semite” smear campaign, this has strength because average Britons are terrified of displeasing their Jewish masters, and being called “anti-Semites.”
Britons dare not question the crimes of their beloved Jews.
What if they called Corbyn a Nazi, would that help?
