Raed Salah pt III

Corbyn took part in a press conference which called for a public inquiry into 'Israeli influence' on the Govt.

At the same time Corbyn called the racist, homophobic Islamic extremist Salah, an "honoured citizen" and invited him tea on the Commons terrace. 1/10
It was organised by MEMO, with Daud Abdullah on the panel. Some familiar names involved with MEMO are Hewitt & Winstanley.

Ismail Patel of Friends of Al Aqsa (Labour candidate Ali Milani did some work with them) & they also 'contributed' to Chakrabarti inquiry. 2/10
Corbyn, Abdullah & Patel are old mates and have been sharing platforms and panels for years.

Here they all are back in 2007 (scroll down for Daud). 3/10
Salah's solicitor Tayyab Ali:

"one might infer that there is a very serious problem with the Government's relationship to the pro Israeli lobby"

Israeli lobby!

Ali wanted this investigated, but how? 4/10
"by an independent, judge led inquiry, commissioned under the Inquiries Act 2005"

But what did Corbyn think?

Corbyn: "Could I just add that I think a public inquiry under the public inquiries act is the best course of action" 5/10
However, Corbyn later said that this was a "ludicrous misrepresentation".

Judge for yourselves:

Who remembers the days when Labour would say "these are absolutely not the views of the Labour Party"? 6/10

Corbyn claims that he called Salah an "honoured citizen" 'in a diplomatic context - a term of diplomacy as an aid to dialogue rather than a description of a relationship or an endorsement of a set of views'

I say Corbyn's a liar. 7/10

Here's both a description & an endorsement by Corbyn

"he is far from a dangerous man, he's a very honoured citizen, he represents his people extremely well and his is a voice that must be heard." 8/10
What's the penalty for lying to a Home Affair Committee?

'But you wouldn't invite back to tea at the House of Commons' 9/10
Corbyn: "I hereby renew my invitation to Sheikh Salah to come to Parliament, meet with me, meet with my colleagues and you will be assured of a very warm welcome"

I renew my invitation (at tax payers expense) to a racist, homophobic, terrorist funding, Islamic extremist. 10/10
