EXCLUSIVE – In January 2009, @JeremyCorbyn attended an anti-Israel demo in Birmingham which was, for all intents and purposes, an antisemitic hate rally. Notably, he marched at the front of the demo behind an antisemitic banner that read “Gaza-21st Century Concentration Camp”... 
Here is some footage of Corbyn, amongst others, marching behind the banner (apologies for poor quality):
This wasn’t the only antisemitism on display at the rally, there were countless other examples of disgusting placards and banners that filled the streets that day. The following tweets will demonstrate some of the worst examples…
Held proudly in the centre of the square was a large banner with images of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Israeli spokesman @MarkRegev alongside Goebbels and Hitler, with the words “history repeats itself” emblazoned across it:
Placards were handed out with what appears to be a Keffiyeh breaking through the Jewish Star of David:
A child was given a sign to hold with a Star of David and a swastika with the word "Holocost" written underneath:

An Israeli flag was burned in the centre of the square:
Here is video footage of the same incident where the crowd can be heard chanting "biruh, bidam, nafdika ya Gaza" which means "with our soul, with our blood, we sacrifice for you o'Gaza":
Behind the stage was a banner being held with an image of the Israeli flag being put in a bin:
And here is @JeremyCorbyn in and amongst the protesters and on stage about to deliver his speech, the above images are what he would have seen as he looked out onto the crowd:
Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite. END
