Even this is a bit too unkind - When he was being called a racist and anti-semite, he DID call them out on their BS, repeatedly, to anyone who’d listen. Thing is, the media never actually broadcast those responses - you had to dig deep to find them. He spoke to loads of people and did his best to confront the dumb shit, but it’s pointless if it’s not reported on. e.g. the EHCR report clearing Corbyn of any antisemitism, but no matter how ‘confrontational’ Corbyn was in pointing this out, the headlines just lied anyway.

You can’t meaningfully call out BS accusations without a meaningful platform that will listen to you and effectively share your message.
