JFC…Corbyn. What an absolute creature.
The debate is over about who he really is given all the irrefutable evidence (videos, photos, the articles he’s written incriminating himself) which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt his consistent and unrelenting bigotory towards the Jewish Community.
In 2012 when he was caught on camera referring to Raed Salah, a man jailed for ‘blood libel’ (racial incitement), as a "very honoured citizen" whose "voice must be heard".
When an antisemitic mural appeared on a wall in London, he 'liked' it and when he heard it was being removed in 2012, consoled the artist (Mear One) by telling him he was "in good company" (a reference to the Mexican artist Diego Rivera who had a painting censored because he depicted Lenin). In other words, he supported a racist piece of propaganda even though any GCSE student of Modern World History would have identified the antisemitic tropes in the painting within about five seconds.
When he spoke at a Palestine Solidarity Campaign meeting in 2008, he waited on stage for a speaker, Ismail Patel, to finish his speech. The speaker indulged in an attack on "Zionism" saying it made Jews "immoral in justice". Corbyn didn't leave the stage so as not be associated with this antisemitic rant. No, instead, as he passed Mr Patel, he patted his arm in a "Well done!" gesture (again, caught on camera).
In August 2012, Corbyn appeared on the Iran State sponsored TV Channel, Press TV. He was asked about a terrorist attack on the Egyptian border during Ramadan that had killed Egyptian troops. He replied "I see the hand of Israel." A British MP, peddling conspiracy theories on matters in the Middle East is beyond the pale.
On that fateful Tunisia trip in 2014 – where was was caught laying a wreath at the grave of a known Black September terrorist, to show that he wanted to 'honour both sides’ a visit to the El Ghriba synagogue would have been highly appropriate. He could have laid a wreath at the synagogue, which was bombed by Al Qaeda in 2002, killing 21 people. But he didn't.
Although Corbyn always tries to claim that he believes in peace and tries to bring opposing groups together in disputes, there is absolutely no evidence of this. He only seems to meet with groups he agrees with or likes. Shockingly he turned down an invitation to visit Yad Vashem!
He’s never done a single thing to heal the tragic conflict between Israel and Palestine. He’s never advocated for a two-state solution. He’s never opposed any specific Israeli policies he doesn’t agree with, he simply wants for Israel to not exist. He made this clear as far back as the mid 80s when he sponsored a group called the “Labour Movement Campaign for Palestine” who’s stated aim in their promotional materials was “to eradicate Zionism.”
So he essentially advocates that the Jewish nation, uniquely, does not have any right to sovereignty, that its national movement should be eradicated — that’s discrimination and incitement. To assert that the Jewish people has no right to sovereignty in the only place on earth where it has ever been sovereign, never wanted to leave and always sought to return; to demand, that is, not that Israel live peaceably alongside a Palestinian state, but that it be fully replaced by a Palestinian State - this is unconscionable. Years and years of support and activism for an organization that sought Israel’s demise — support and activism for which he has never apologized.
Is it any surprise we see him every weekend leading these disturbing and hateful rallies? He’s really no friend to Palestine at all.
