I do not belong to the Labour Party in the UK anymore. I have not for quite a few years.
However, to tar the entirety of the Labour Party as anti-Palestinian or pro-Israel is as absurd as the original and causal tarring of the entire Labor Party as anti-semitic.
However, there is some history here that needs to be addressed.
There was a very tiny contingent within the Labour party who could not differentiate between the Israel and its policies towards Palestinians and Jews in general. 1/

That lead, laughably, to the accusation that the entire Labour Party was anti-semitic. Especially laughable because it was an accusation levelled by the Conservative Party which hosts rampant racism of all kinds and has done forever. Labour's over-response to this accusation was emblematic of a lot of things, including its puzzling insecurity with its own legitimacy. But it was also revealing that it also couldn't seem to distinguish between opposition to Israeli policy and anti-semitism. 2/
