A thread about Jeremy Corbyn, a notorious holocaust denier and lies.
Jeremy Corbyn is a patron of the Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC).
In March 10th 2007 at the annual PSC conference a motion was passed to sever all links with a group called Deir Yassin Remembered (DYR).

This was due to its “increasingly antisemitic politics”.
The Director of DYR – Paul Eisen – had by 2007 written at least 3 essays that included Holocaust denial including statements such as :

“where is the evidence for this alleged gargantuan mass-murder? Where are the documents? Where are the traces & remains? Where are the weapons of murder?”
Eisen had written “'I question that there ever existed homicidal gas-chambers… Deny the Holocaust! For my money, a child of six can see that something's not right about the Holocaust narrative... For me, "Holocaust Denier" is a label I accept.'”
During the 2015 leadership election campaign Corbyn was asked about his links to Paul Eisen & DYR.
Corbyn said: “ “Fifteen years ago [Eisen] was not a Holocaust denier,” said the Labour leadership frontrunner. “Had he been a Holocaust denier, I would have had absolutely nothing to do with him. “
Corbyn denies writing a cheque for Paul Eisen but admits that at DYR meetings he “checked money in a bucket”. He then states that:
“At that time I had no evidence whatsoever that Paul Eisen was a Holocaust denier”
“At that time I had no evidence whatsoever that Paul Eisen was a Holocaust denier”
But Corbyn attended a number of DYR events after 2007 when Paul Eisen had clearly stated he was a Holocaust denier, the last such event believed to be in 2013.
Corbyn was attending DYR events at least 6 years after an organisation of which he is patron (PSC) had severed links with DYR due to the antisemitism of its Director.
At least 5 years after the publication of Holocaust denial by the Director of DYR, Jeremy Corbyn was still attending DYR events and contributing money to fund the organisation and it's Holocaust denier Director.
Corbyn has simply been caught lying.

All of this has been in the public domain since 2015 and described in numerous press articles. Yet so far Corbyn and Seumas Milne have managed to ride it out.
Perhaps now it is time for that ride to be brought to an end.

As discovered by @mishtal both Corbyn and Paul Eisen were active members of the secret Palestine Live Facebook group until 2015.
