The party didn't object to the definition itself but the specific wording and examples used to underpin and explain it - in particular the one HM references above
Some argue that people who object to 'zionism' are anti semitic
There are plenty of Jewish people who object to the definition and its examples as an attack on free expression and strangling of debate over the situation in Palestine
At one point corbyn attended an event hosted by a group of leftwing Jews who were opposed to political zionism and the centrality of the faith within the Israeli body politic - for which he faced further accusations of anti semitism
