it's always been an issue

because it's a simple function of his view of the world - but of course, with an election it's become more public, and more pressing, combined with the public comments of eg the chief rabbi and the jewish labour movement, and the investigations of the equalities commission. it's one thing to uncritically laud Corbyn as a leader of the opposition, or someone bound to lose the election, but if he might become prime minister, people start to get a bit jumpy (including eg his own front bench, as per y'day's "bantz" from jonathan ashworth). You're right of course that there's a mixture of moral outrage and political opposition, but that doesn't mean to say the outrage is not justified.
