EXCLUSIVE - In 2013 @JeremyCorbyn shared a platform with Asa Winstanley at the Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s AGM. Winstanley has been described as an antisemitic conspiracy theorist and only today @YoungLabourUK were forced to apologise for retweeting him....... 
Notably, a historic tweet (see below) seems to suggest that discussion on the panel included the “need to push back on claims of antisemitism”......
Is this what @UKLabour mean when they say that @JeremyCorbyn has spent his whole life fighting antisemitism? Fighting antisemitism is not appearing on panels alongside Asa Winstanley discussing the “need to push back on claims of antisemitism”
Note that also on the panel alongside Corbyn was Ben White. White has been profiled by the @ADL and they described him as having “engaged in anti-Semitic tactics” - adl.org/resources/prof…
1. White “has claimed that Israel exploits the memory of the Holocaust in order to justify its so-called oppression of the Palestinian people, believing that it is justifiable, “as long as it falls short of what was experienced by the Jews in Nazi Europe.””
2. “White has also defended the anti-Semitic statements of others, notably former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s infamous remarks denying the Holocaust and calling for Israel to be “wiped off the map.””
3. White “defended Ahmadinejad’s abhorrent statements questioning the veracity of the Holocaust.”
4. In 2002 White wrote in an article that “I can understand very well that some people are unpleasant towards Jews.’ I do not agree with them, but I can understand.”
These are the people @JeremyCorbyn happily shared platforms with....
