EXCLUSIVE – In January 2012 @JeremyCorbyn gave an interview in Parliament to an antisemitic conspiracy theorist in which he agreed that “yes of course” Israel may engage in “creating a false flag event” to start a war with Iran. Watch below:
The interview was conducted by amateur 'journalist' Morris Herman who had posted multiple antisemitic videos PRIOR to Corbyn affording him an interview in Parliament. Let’s take a look at just some of those videos…..
"Judaism, Just Another Cult?"... 
"On The Need to Dissolve the Jewish Identity"...
"Egypt Gaza & Hamas vs Jewish Banks"...
"Will the Jews get the reputation of the Nazis?"...
"9/11 - No Thermite, 7/7 - No Rucksack Bombs"...
This wasn’t the only time that Herman interviewed/filmed @JeremyCorbyn. In March 2011 he interviewed him opposite Downing Street at a @STWuk protest. And in March 2013 he filmed Corbyn praising Hugo Chavez at a vigil in London....
Since then, Herman has gone on to publish countless more antisemitic/conspiracy theory videos, as well as interviews with Piers Corbyn. Notably, in 2013 Herman produced a video in which he suggested that the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby was a false-flag attack....
The question exists as to why @JeremyCorbyn afforded an interview to an individual with a well-documented and published history of antisemitism, and why he indulged in the conspiracy theory that Israel would undertake a false-flag event to start a war with Iran?
This isn’t the first time that @JeremyCorbyn has maliciously accused Israel of having undertaken or been willing to undertake a staged attack. In August 2012 Corbyn suggested that “the hand of Israel” was behind a jihadi attack against Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai peninsula:
Conspiracy theories play an integral role in modern day antisemitism and are used by both the far-right and far-left. By repeatedly engaging in them in regards to Israel, @JeremyCorbyn plays into classic tropes of malignant Jewish power, influence and control.
This also proves that @UKLabour under @JeremyCorbyn’s leadership cannot be trusted as neutral arbiters on the issue of Israel-Iran. This is why @EmilyThornberry’s letter to @JeremyHunt a week ago on the topic holds absolutely no credibility whatsoever -
Some (more) questions for @UKLabour, @JeremyCorbyn and @EmilyThornberry to answer. Perhaps next Mondays PLP meeting where a motion on antisemitism will be debated is the perfect opportunity……
