Jeremy Corbyn speaking out in defence of Sheikh Raed Salah.
Here is a Tweet from Jeremy Corbyn. Presumably smearing himself. Maybe his account was hacked by conspiratorial Jews. I dunno. Let's see.

Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn
Delighted that Sheikh Raed Salah was won his appeal against the Home Secretary on all counts. His voice of the Palestinians must be heard.[/quote]
Salah is a blood libeller. Here is a direct quote from him in 2007. So, to be clear, 5 years before Corbyn's tweet.
"We have never allowed ourselves to knead the bread that breaks the fast in the holy month of Ramadan with children's blood. Whoever wants a more thorough explanation, let him ask what used to happen to some children in Europe, whose blood was mixed in with the dough of the holy bread."
Salah was also jailed for funding Hamas, and had accused Jews of being behind 9/11, even saying that Jews were warned not to go to work at the twin towers that day. Oh and he has expressed a desire for Jerusalem to be the capital of the global caliphate.

In 2011, Salah was arrested by British police, before he was due to speak at an event with Jeremy Corbyn.
The sheikh had been due to attend a House of Commons meeting on Wednesday evening along with Labour MPs including Jeremy Corbyn, Richard Burden and Yasmin Qureshi.

Here is a video of Jeremy Corbyn from 2012.
Please watch it.
"He is far from a dangerous man. He is a very honoured citizen. He represents his people extremely well and his is a voice that must be heard."
That's a direct quote.
Problematic? A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.
Then we can move on to the next one.
I estimate there are 15 of these.
But we'll see. Another one or two might pop up.[/quote]
2. Jeremy Corbyn repeatedly defends Hamas
Let's start with a little background.
Hamas is recognised as a terrorist organisation. By Britain. By the United States. By the European Union. By Israel. They indulge in such peaceful activities as suicide bombings and rocket attacks.
Their attacks against civilians have been labelled as war crimes and crimes against humanity by Human Rights Watch. Citation needed, 2Pac! No worries, lad.
https://www.hrw.org/news/2002/11/02/israel/pa-suicide-bombers-commit-crimes-against-humanity
Their charter contains the following:
The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree (evidently a certain kind of tree), would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.

Here is a video where Jeremy Corbyn refers to "friends from Hamas" and says "unfortunately, Israel would not allow them to travel here".
I don't think it's a conspiratorial Jew dressed as Jeremy Corbyn, but I can't be 100% sure.
One of Hamas' political leaders, Khaled Mashal, is a nice man. Here's what he said about Hamas terrorists.
"By God, they are the most exalted and the noblest of people. After the knives used by the people of the West Bank and Jerusalem - can anyone possibly have an excuse to abandon the path of Jihad?"
In an (unfortunately now deleted) article written by Jeremy Corbyn in the Morning Star, he spoke of enjoying a takeaway dinner and chatting politics with this man during a long meeting. When questioned years later, he said he did not recall any takeaway dinners.
On multiple occasions, Corbyn has questioned Hamas and Hezbollah being labelled as terrorists:
"The idea that an organisation that is dedicated towards the good of the Palestinian people and bringing about long-term peace and social justice and political justice in the whole region should be labelled as a terrorist organisation by the British government is really a big, big historical mistake."
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/02/tory-attack-ad-corbyn-remarks-context
Here he is asking for them to be removed from the UK's own "proscribed list" of terrorist groups:
"At some point, Hamas should be removed from this list because contacts with Hamas by politicians are increasing day after day. All want to find a peaceful solution to the problem."
"Hamas, too, has thus far proven that it is committed to the process. It encourages these contacts and wants to get some sort of recognition of it. Therefore, this will one day take place."[
If this isn't enough, how about Corbyn on his favourite news network, Iranian Press TV? Here, he was discussing the release of several Hamas terrorists in a prisoner exchange agreement.
"You have to ask the question why they are in prison in the first place. I'm glad that those who were released were released. I met many of the brothers, including the brother who's been speaking here when they came out of prison, when I was in Doha earlier this year."
The "brother" in question was a convicted Hamas terrorist named Dr Abdul Aziz Umar, who received seven life sentences for organising a suicide bombing that killed seven Israeli citizens in a cafe. He is believed to have been involved in several other attacks, killing more than 100 people in total.
"I'm glad that those who were released were released.
Problematic?
Smears?
3. Corbyn's links with antisemitic conspiracy theorists
Jeremy Corbyn had a 10 year association with Deir Yassin Remembered (DYR). Here he is at an event in 2013.
Here he is at an event in 2005.
Gill Kaffash, a co-organiser of one of its annual events that Corbyn regularly attended, had the following to say:
"Jeremy was a stalwart of DYR... a very important supporter. You can rely on Jeremy. He came to this house and sat in that chair."
And you're probably wondering about her views on the Holocaust, right? I know I am.
"I don't think there is evidence gas chambers were used to exterminate Jews. I don't think there is evidence of a policy of extermination."
The founder of the group was Paul Eisen.
Now, as I'm sure you are too, I'm often asked what my favourite of Eisen's writings is.
To which I instantly respond that I'm a big fan of his 2008 masterpiece: My Life as a Holocaust Denier
https://www.righteousjews.org/article27a.html
Mind you, there is fierce competition.
He once spoke of "rehumanising" Adolf Hitler. He said Holocaust denial as an "entirely honourable thing".
Now, in fairness to Jeremy, wizard of Labour values, grandad of my heart, he was not alone in being fooled by the DYR. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign were too. Although they withdrew support in 2007, after the Hitler stuff, before the penning of my favourite Eisen text. They got out when they realised it was an antisemitic, Holocaust denial group, in other words.
Jeremy Corbyn, lord of peace, remained a supporter until at least 2013. Maybe later. We can't know for sure.
He might not have known though, right?
Well Jeff Halper warned Corbyn about Eisen in 2005, which is when Halper bailed.
Mr Clarke-Lowe, another Holocaust denier and a close friend of Mr Eisen's, said: "It would have been surprising if Jeremy Corbyn didn't know about Paul's views. He may have thought Deir Yassin was a good cause regardless of Paul Eisen's views. But it is unlikely he didn't know about Paul's views."
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...s-10-year-association-group-denies-holocaust/
Now maybe this was a one off mistake. Who hadn't accidentally supported Holocaust deniers for ten years ffs? Live a little, you do-gooders.
Well then, let's talk about Stephen Sizer.
Reverend Stephen Sizer is a lovely man.
You might know him for such actions as:
- Sharing Israel 9/11 conspiracies on Facebook (one article was a bit ambiguous in its title tbf - a subtle article entitled '9/11 Israel Did It')
- Defending Hamas terrorists.
- Sharing Holocaust denial content on Facebook.
- Hosting a speaker at his church who thinks suicide bombers are martyrs.
- Having tea with Sheikh Raed Salah (remember him?).
- Posted a link supporting KKK leader David Duke.

Dear Right Reverend Christopher Hill
I am sorry to hear that problems have arisen, for Reverend Stephen Sizer, at least in part due to a technical oversight in terms of computer links.
Reverend Stephen Sizer seems to have come under attack by certain individuals intent on discrediting the excellent work that Stephen does in highlighting the injustices of the Palestinian Israeli situation, in particular by his very thorough analysis of "Christian Zionism". Might I suggest that such criticism is part of a wider pattern of demonising those who dare to stand up and speak out against Zionism, a philosophy that precludes the existence of the state of Palestine?
Your own expertise, wisdom and experience will, I am sure, allow you to appreciate just how much distance exists between anti Semitism, anti Zionism, and anti Israeli government actions for that matter. Overzealous critics find it convenient to conflate them all. Active and well informed individuals such as Reverend Stephen Sizer, withstand a considerable amount of inappropriate criticism. Indeed many MPs and Peers are also attacked.
The internet is a complicated piece of technology and with the best will in the world, imperfect links are made and one would have to spend 8 hours a day "surfing" the net just to be 100% certain one's views to not become contaminated in any way at all. Even then, connections can inadvertently be made.
I do hope you'll take the above into consideration when meeting with Reverend Stephen Sizer today, for I do admire the excellent work that he does and personally, I would give no credence at all to any claims that he is anti-Semitic.
With kind regards
Jeremy Corbyn MP
Islington North
For absolute fuck sake :lol:
Sizer's "technical difficulties" also led him here.
In September 2014, Sizer attended the "Second New Horizon Conference" in Tehran where 9/11 conspiracy theories such as "Zionist Fingerprints on the 9/11 Cover-up" and "9/11 and the Holocaust as pro-Zionist 'Public myths'" were under discussion.

Any of this problematic?
4. The mural and fallout
The start of the most recent antisemitism scandal goes back to the revelation that Corbyn defended an antisemitic mural on Facebook.
Let's go off on a quick tangent...
Yvonne Ridley is an interesting character. She was in the Respect Party with Corbyn's good friend George Galloway. She is also an antisemite.
Evidence?
"David Miliband is a self-serving, vain pipsqueak… who trampled over the dead babies of Gaza to stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel. Miliband is a gutless little weasel who lost more than his foreskin when he was circumcised"
David is, of course, a Jew.
https://yvonneridley.org/analysis-and-opinion/israels-60th-independence-day/[
In another blog post, she said Israel "is on the path of reviving the policies of Adolf Hitler" and that Israeli politicians are "promoting a Final Solution for Gaza".
https://yvonneridley.org/analysis-and-opinion/israeli-politicians-promote-a-final-solution-for-gaza/
She once made reference to "Zionists" having "tentacles everywhere".
Here she is with Corbyn on Iranian Press TV:
Here they are again:
End of tangent.
Now, far from being a right-wing media conspiracy, this Facebook comment was brought up by a Jewish Labour MP. Luciana Berger, to be exact.
Initially, there was an attempt to deny the mural was antisemitic. Even on here, several Corbyn supporters took this line. Eventually, Corbyn said the following:
"I sincerely regret that I did not look more closely at the image I was commenting on, the contents of which are deeply disturbing and anti-Semitic," he said. "I am opposed to the production of anti-Semitic material of any kind, and the defence of free speech cannot be used as a justification for the promotion of anti-Semitism in any form."
Note the absence of a "sorry". That did not appear until his third statement on the mural.
It's somewhat laughable that he leapt to the defence of a mural he didn't see. It's more laughable to suggest that he did see it and didn't notice it was antisemitic.
Jeremy Corbyn was subsequently found to have been a member of multiple other Facebook groups containing antisemitic remarks.
One of them was 'Palestine Live'. An analysis of this group found that 64% of all posts in it were antisemitic.
ttp://david-collier.com/exclusive-corbyn-antisemitism/
Here is an interesting post...
Here are some things you should know about Mads Gilbert:
1. Gilbert was banned from entering Israel because there had been revealed close ties between Gilbert and Hamas-leaders.
2. He has been accused of facilitating Hamas propaganda.
3. He worked at Al-Shifa Hospital, which intelligence sources have identified as a de facto Hamas base.
4. He once said the 9/11 attackers had "a moral right to attack the US".
There is also some contradictory information on Corbyn's participation in the group.
Corbyn claimed he never saw any of the antisemitic posts and was unaware there were any (64% of all content remember). John McDonnell claimed Corbyn left after he became aware of antisemitic posts.
It is with all of this context - and with the context from my previous 3 posts on this, that the JLC said:
"He never sees or understands the anti-Semitism, whether it is from overseas terrorist groups or local Facebook groups. Now, he belatedly acknowledges a mural was anti-Semitic. Like so much else in this area, it is far too little, far too late, with no serious attempt to understand or tackle the damage to Jews and the Labour Party."
"Hizbollah commits terrorist atrocities against Jews, but Corbyn calls them his friends and attends pro-Hizbollah rallies in London. Exactly the same goes for Hamas. Raed Salah says Jews kill Christian children to drink their blood. Corbyn opposes his extradition and invites him for tea at the House of Commons. These are not the only cases. He is repeatedly found alongside people with blatantly anti-Semitic views, but claims never to hear or read them."

Jeremy Corbyn was subsequently criticised for failing to meet Jewish groups and discuss these issues.
He responded by going to a meeting with a fringe Jewish group, Jewdas - a group which criticised protests by other Jewish groups against Corbyn. It is an anti-Israeli group, which said the accusations against Corbyn came from Conservatives (as we've learned...they didn't).
It is an anti-capitalist group.
It called Jewish people protesting against Corbyn "non-Jews"
It is the group that once Tweeted this:
Israel is itself a steaming pile of sewage which needs to be properly disposed of.
Problematic?
