Here is a useful summary:
BBC: A Guide to Anti-Semitism in the Labour Party
Frank Field clearly believed something was seriously wrong at the top of the Party:
Labour MP Frank Field has quit the party's group in Parliament, saying the leadership has become "a force for anti-Semitism in British politics".
Labour MP Ruth Smeeth has described how she has received 25,000 pieces of anti-Semitic abuse over the summer. She is now receiving special police protection after an internet troll, claiming to be a Jeremy Corbyn supporter, said on Facebook that she should be hanged.

Yes but that's an accusation, now I am not a big fan of Corbyn however a part of me does wonder how much of this is about sabotaging his credibility of leader of the party

OK, but plainly the likes of Frank Field disagrees with you. This is a lifelong and senior MP member of the Labour Party who felt it was such a big problem that he resigned because of it. Read his quote again from the article I posted - could not be clearer.

Please refer to the BBC guide I posted which gives examples.
I do wonder, what exactly have they been doing to be anti-Semitic other than be pro-palatine?
