Note this line from Corbyn's infamous "friends" salute to Hamas and Hezbollah: "I refuse to be dragged into this stuff that somehow or other because we’re pro-Palestinian, we’re antisemitic, it’s a nonsense." 1/8
Corbyn said this at the "Meet The Resistance" meeting while lining up with his fellow speaker Abou Jahjah. Jahjah is a hideous antisemite who was banned from the UK just after the "friends" meeting. 2/8
Corbyn was indignant because he had indeed been called to account for this meeting, including on Abou Jahjah. I know because I was involved. 3/8

None of the evidence mattered, all was dismissed. Backing racists and terrorists was Corbyn's mission and he would not be dissuaded. Far left agitator John Rees, another speaker at the meeting and a Corbyn comrade, made it all coldly explicit: 4/8

This happened again with Raed Salah, the "blood libel sheikh". Piles of shocking evidence were assembled. They were angrily waved away for "a very honoured citizen" who should be invited for "tea on the terrace". Stand up to "the zionist lobby", he cried in the Morning Star. 5/8
On and on it went. Corbyn cropped up in one assembly of Islamist and far left thugs and racists after another, heaping scorn on the critics, standing up for the worst of the worst, for years and years on end. Hence: 6/8
Nor did the party act during these episodes. "Just Jeremy being Jeremy". "Don't worry, he's not important, ignore him." "He won't get anywhere with this." And so on, ad nauseam. Careless fools, that's the best one can say. 7/8
And here we are, a decade on. The party now thinks this rank champion of antisemites and terrorists should be our Prime Minister. No story is more shameful in all of British politics. 8/8
