"Putting oneself in the shoes of another person, or another group, can be difficult. But we believe it is important—and urgent—that you do that,” the paper said, citing a recent poll that found 87 percent of British Jews consider Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn to be an anti-Semite.

Gove said that "Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party is a toxic cocktail of unrepentant Marxism-Leninism and unacceptable anti-Semitism."

"When he implies that, however long they have lived here, Jews are not fully British, he is using the language of classic pre-war European anti-Semitism."

He referred specifically to an attack on the British Jewish community and a defense of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's dubious stance on anti-Semitism.

Watson also wants Corbyn to drop the party's investigation of MPs Dame Margaret Hodge and Ian Austin, both of whom attacked the party leader over his Israel policy.
