Exclusive: Jeremy Corbyn wrote “Looking back, the post-war Labour Government under Attlee conceded to the Zionist forces, allowing the state of Israel to be established, and instantly recognised it.” web.archive.org/web/2019032009…
Corbyn wrote this in 2011, as part of a report by Labour MPs who travelled to Lebanon. Their visit was organized with the help of the Palestinian Return Centre. Corbyn’s article starts on page 20.
Also new: During the same trip, Corbyn said he was encouraged by the ability of “Hamas and the PLO to sit down together and find common ground… In the face of US and Israeli pressure to separate the Gaza Strip and West Bank… which is a classic colonial divide and rule tactic”
This statement can be found on page 15 here: web.archive.org/web/*/https://…

I found evidence Corbyn WAS a member of the editorial board that wrote “the British only sit up and take notice when they are bombed into it”. SA, to which Corbyn often contributed, wrote he was involved in setting up the National Briefing Supplement and was at a board meeting
Below is the notorious National Briefing Supplement editorial – it referred to the Brighton bombing as a “big bang” and spelled out solidarity and support for the Irish Republican movement “though we may not always agree with all their tactics or policies”
In 2017, Sophy Ridge handed Jeremy Corbyn a copy of this Briefing National Supplement editorial. He said “I wasn’t even a member of the editorial board… I read the magazine, I wrote for the magazine, I wasn’t a member of the editorial board”

1. I don't really pay much attention to #Labour Twitter. It;s not really saying anything worth my time. The right of the party are all Blairite remainers who I've always hated since they embody the worst of left wing paternalism and snobbery. Thread...
2. The left of the party however, is a shitshow of hipster communists and gobby younglings who know fuck all about nine tenths of anything, pushing a socialist agenda they don't understand much less comprehend the implications of it.
3. Then as I understand it, their fondness for Brexit is based on some half understood notions about competition rules and state aid - but in actuality they couldn't give a toss about Brexit. They're just at war with the FBPE morons since they attack Corbyn. Purely tribal.

1/ @jk_rowling thank you for sharing Nuddering's thread. I am a British man born in Israel, a child of one English parent and one Israeli. My grandparents migrated to the British Mandate before WWII. My Grandfather lost almost his entire family to the Nazis. Some thoughts:
2/ It's 1995. I'm in the Territorial Army. We have to fill out forms during basic training. It asks where you're born. Word spreads. Later my Corporal makes constant jokes about 'my big nose'. I'm quietly disgusted but not shocked. Racism in the British Army? It's almost SOP.
3/ Fast forward. It's 2006. Israel is at war with Hezbullah in Southern Lebanon. My cousin is killed by an RPG that incinerates his truck. There's a burial with a casket but there's no physical body to bury. Israel is traumatised by the war. Public consensus is that it has lost.

#Israel confirmed what I (exclusively) wrote in my article that it was its jets responsible for hitting #Iraq sec forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) command and control centre with the task to fight #ISIS and prevents the terrorist group from crossing into #Iraq

But wait:
The reason why #Israel declared its responsibility is only because Kataeb Hezbollah in #Iraq has decided (and voiced it) to attack #USA troops in #Iraq.

The US believes, when Israel assume its responsibility, this would stop the revenge: NO+

Actually what #Israel (and the #US) is not revealing is the fact that US airport in al-Hasaka was used for the hit, in coordination with the US forces deployed in #Syria and #Iraq, informed about the presence of Israeli jets and their bank of objective+

Bizarre that it needs debunking but @Jeremy_Hunt is unforgivably wrong. Labour rightly claim the NHS. The Conservatives opposed its conception and have systematically bled it dry in government. A thread for #NHS70 conservativehome.com/platform/2018/…
In 1948, the post-War Labour Government introduced the NHS. The Conservative Party had voted against the third reading of the legislation in 1946. Despite Tory opposition, Labour won the vote by 261 votes to 113. #NHS70
In 1982, Margaret Thatcher considered the “dismantling of the National Health Service”, to replace it with a private insurance system #NHS70 ft.com/content/5d9906…

Jeremy Corbyn says he "sincerely regret[s]" commenting under a post about a mural that on closer examination was anti-semetic. His comment was lazy & added to hurt arising from the mural. There can be no excuse for anti-semetism, of any kind.
In 2003, 15 years ago, Jeremy Corbyn signed a Parliamentary Motion that condemned terrorist & anti-Semitic attacks on 2 Synagogues. parliament.uk/edm/2003-04/123
In 2013, 5 years ago, Jeremy Corbyn signed a Parliamentary Motion that condemned Antisemitism is sport. parliament.uk/edm/2012-13/11…

The noises coming out of #Labour on racism towards Jews (let us call it that) are increasingly hollow.
Let's not even talk about the 1000s of oddballs in & around Labour, who rant on about "Zionists", etc like UKIPers talk about "immigrants", but we know where both are pointing.

One is profiled here in detailed (& mostly ignored by Labour "radicals")

I asked this question ages ago, with no satisfactory answer:

Labour members, do you like antisemitism or Holocaust denial? Can you spot it?
