Thread: Countering the 'Corbyn has never apologised to the Jewish community' lies currently being peddled around the mainstream media.
Let's start with this video of him DOING EXACTLY THAT in summer 2018... #GE2019
And here's the BBC's own coverage of Corbyn apologising to the Jewish community, from March 2018.
They seem to have 'conveniently' forgotten all about it... #GE2019 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-435368…
Here's the Times of Israel also covering Corbyn's apology - which they describe as a 'new' apology, clearly suggesting it was not the first time he had done so... #GE2019 timesofisrael.com/corbyn-posts-n…
Here's PoliticsHome, again from March 2018, covering, guess what? Jeremy Corbyn apologising to the Jewish community politicshome.com/news/uk/politi…
Here's Middle East Eye, who suggest that if anything, Corbyn has apologised too much... middleeasteye.net/opinion/anti-s…
Here's the BBC in February, covering a letter signed by hundreds of Jewish Labour members expressing their support for Jeremy Corbyn - oddly enough, the BBC has been 'unable' to find any of them during their blanket 'Jews fear Corbyn' exercise... #GE2019 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Here's Jewish academic Nadine Batchelor-Hunt saying she is confident in Labour's approach to antisemitism under Corbyn: "for the first time, Labour has now released statements and materials that actually feel sincere, measured, and compassionate" #GE2019 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Incidentally, here's Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis in 2016, setting a clear precedent for his 'unprecedented' attack this week.
Another thing the BBC et al have been unable to recollect... #GE2019 politicshome.com/news/uk/politi…
Action taken by Corbyn back in 2017: "The rule change proposed by the JLM, which has been backed by the Labour leader, and the party’s national executive committee, will tighten explicitly the party’s stance towards members who are antisemitic" #GE2019 theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
Here's another member of the Jewish community who doesn't appear to be 'terrified' at the prospect of a Corbyn-led government, and will be voting Labour on December 12th #GE2019 jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/im-jew…
Here's an analysis of official Labour statistics on allegations of antisemitism - which involve a tiny 0.1% of the party's 500,000 plus membership.
Nevertheless, the media holds Jeremy Corbyn personally responsible for each and every one... #GE2019 skwawkbox.org/2019/02/12/lab…
Here's coverage of the widely-praised website Corbyn launched in July, to educate the tiny percentage of members who hold views that could be thought antisemitic... #GE2019 mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
In case anyone missed all the previous apologies, here's Jeremy Corbyn apologising 'again' to the Jewish community in April 2018, ahead of meeting Jewish leaders to discuss his plans for dealing with antisemitism.
Getting the picture yet...? #GE2019 independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Jewish Voice For Labour, which has members in hundreds of Labour CLP's across the UK, has created this guide for canvassers who may be asked about antisemitism on the doorstep while campaigning. #GE2019 jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/statement/rebu…
Jewish author and researcher Jamie Stern-Wiener: "a miserable assortment of chancers, cynics and careerists is exploiting Jewish suffering to prosecute petty vendettas, wage factional warfare and discredit legitimate criticism of Israel" opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocra…
Here, because it certainly won't be covered by the mainstream media - it doesn't fit the scripted narrative decreed for this week - here's Jeremy Corbyn making his views on antisemitism absolutely plain. Again. #GE2019
