1. NEW: video shows Jeremy Corbyn embraced Raed Salah in April 2012, after discussing a judgement that found Salah claimed Jews make bread with the blood of children. The decision overruled his deportation on a technicality. 5 years later, Salah’s followers killed two Israelis
2. Corbyn embraced Salah at the end of a discussion of a court decision that said of Salah’s sermon: “we do not find this comment could be taken to be anything other than a reference to the blood libel against Jews”. See paragraph 59, page 21 dropbox.com/s/kmdd3h21cz29…
3. In 2017, a gunman was heard screaming “I’m from Raed Salah’s group” during a terror attack that killed two Israeli border guards. Raed Salah himself called the perpetrators “martyrs” who deserved their place in paradise. timesofisrael.com/the-rise-of-ra…

EXCL: Seumas Milne, @jeremycorbyn's Chief of Communications and close friend, complained that Gerry Adams and Omar al-Bashar didn't get a knighthood and Shimon Peres did saying “I think what that illustrates is where the interests lie”.
Speaking at a 2009 event, Milne elaborated on the antisemitic slur that Jews and Israel control the media, saying the view that “the Zionist movement has a grip on the media… sometimes exaggerates the mechanisms through which that influence is exerted”,
He followed this with the antisemitic claim that “Zionist movement” activists “bombard the media day in day out with their obsessive campaigns”, which he said was true “going back decades and decades”.

Exclusive: In 2011, Jeremy Corbyn wrote an article defending “blood libel” cleric Raed Salah, ending it with “It’s time that Western governments stood up to the zionist lobby which seems to conflate criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.”
This message fits into a pattern of behavior from Corbyn. He frequently cited the Goldstone Report, until in 2011 Goldstone retracted the claim that Israel deliberately targeted civilians. To Corbyn this was the result of “Zionist lobbyists” of applying “huge pressure”
In April 2011, Corbyn wrote Goldstone “accused Israel of war crimes and of deliberately targeting civilians — but it now appears he’s changed his mind. There is no doubt that Goldstone was put under huge pressure from zionist lobbyists and has suffered a great deal of abuse.”

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”
