Yes, Starmer has purged Labour of overt anti-Semitism and even expelled Corbyn from the party over this issue. Yet unlike more principled figures like Hilary Benn, Starmer was happy to serve in Corbyn’s shadow cabinet despite Corbyn’s declared anti-Zionism and his indifference to the anti-Semitism suffered by Jewish members of the party. My take on Starmer is that he was desperate to become PM without any clear idea of what he wanted to do when he got the job.
