New: Jeremy Corbyn was part of Committee for Peace in the Balkans, which failed to condemn the genocide of 8,372 Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica. Instead, it condemned NATO intervention as “one-sided” and said “all sides have committed atrocities”. Thread:
2. A rival group of Labour MPs, Labour Friends of Bosnia, put out a statement at the same time (Oct 1995), saying “Fifty years after the defeat of Hitler, a quarter of a million have died in another ethnic holocaust in Europe. The international community has the means to stop it”
3. Jeremy Corbyn also met a Serbian diplomat prior to NATO action over Kosovo, to warn him that “exaggerated claims” of ethnic cleansing would be used as “pretext” for intervention. Fellow Committee member Alice Mahon MP confirmed this meeting at war crimes tribunal in The Hague
4. Jeremy Corbyn, Mahon and Tam Dalyell went to the Yugoslav as members of the Committee for Peace in the Balkans, which remained active in 1998. Mahon believed ethnic cleansing of Kosovans was “natural, as I will repeat, people get out of the way when bombs are dropped"
5. The Committee for Peace in the Balkans was co founded by Diane Abbott alongside Sir Alfred Sherman, who was an adviser to war criminals Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic and made racist claims of a "European Islamistan in Bosnia and a Greater Albania" theguardian.com/theguardian/19…
6. Jeremy Corbyn was awarded “Pompous Twit of the Year” over a “Press release from the ludicrously named Islington Committee for Peace in the Balkans, Hon President, Jeremy Corbyn MP” (Mail on Sunday, May 9, 1999 p.33)
7. Jeremy Corbyn also took part in Committe for Peace in the Balkans events campaigning against NATO involvement in Kosovo archive.is/v5VFP- he even signed a motion writing of a "'genocide' that never really existed in Kosovo" edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti….
8. When Barry Gardiner suggested NATO has not been on "the right side of history" this week, its important to remember Jeremy Corbyn campaigned against the NATO action to stop genocide in the Balkans.

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…

Exclusive: Jeremy Corbyn and his officials repeatedly held meetings with a reporter who Tweeted “Problem Solved: Why not just move all the Zionist Jews to the middle of the Mexican Desert?” at Jewish actress Mayim Bialik, and used the racist slur “zionazi” 1/4
Corbyn and his team were consulted by Denis Rogatyuk, linked to the Venezuelan State funded outlet Telesur. One meeting was with Labour Shadow Cabinet member Dan Carden. Rogatyuk appears to have drummed up support for Jorge Glas and Rafael Correa 2/4
Rogatyuk was initially denied Labour Party membership, but his application was approved after he shared a train journey with John McDonnell. The two discussed Labour membership for non-British citizens and the Latin American model for a swing to the hard-left after Brexit. 3/4

EXCL: Watch Seumas Milne suggest collusion between Israel and ISIS. At June 2015 event Milne responded to a question on “the ISIS franchise and its relationship to Israel”. He begins by saying “I think that’s a very interesting phenomenon myself”
He continues: “At the moment we have, on the effective Israeli border, you know, the ceasefire zone in the Golan heights, one of the most sectarian Jihadist groups, the Al Qaeda franchise, Jabhat Al-Nusra, which is actually on the border with Israeli troops."
"Nothing happens, it’s interesting, the Israeli’s don’t seem too bothered about it. So I think that the role these groups are playing in the region is sometimes illuminated by that kind of fact, who their real enemies are”

Ok, apparently, it is wrong for me to put antisemitism and the myriad other issues I have with #Corbyn #NeverCorbyn above voting for Labour and I am just enabling the Tories (and therefore am a Tory). Here is a list of things Labour would rather have than getting the Tories out
Getting rid of Tom Watson is more important than getting the Tories out
Getting rid of Luciana Berger is more important than getting the Tories out

Thread 1/13:

My piece in the @spectator:

Q: Is #Corbyn a friend of #Muslims?

A: Only some Muslims.

blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/10/is-jer…
2/13: Corbyn’s world view is binary: Imperialist (US and it’s client states) and anti-imperialists (Iran, Venezuela, Syria, Russia, China etc)

If you are victimized by one of the anti-imperialist regimes, you will get no support.
3/13: By speaking against the oppression of an anti-imperialist regime you have become a pawn of imperialist. The regime can now treat you as it wishes: barrel bombs and chemical weapons (Assad), starvation (Maduro), mass incarceration (Iran), annexation (Putin).

Your aim of intended destruction to incite hatred fear & despair in all of Us had #failed. Although, it may be Ur objective, after all of that elaborate planning & the perverse & wretched efforts on Ur part, U still failed to drive a divide among the #Muslims in this #Nation. ☝🏻
Firstly, let’s explain to you that we, as #Muslims, believe in the unseen. This belief is an essential part of the Muslim #faith and one of the characteristics of those whom Allāh ﷻ described as (conscious of Allāh).

#Allahﷻ
We read in the Quran what it means, "This is the only Book (Qur’an) about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah – Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them." (Quran, Al-Baqarah, Ayah 3).

What's the deal with with Jeremy Corbyn? For those who haven't followed the story, here's why so many people, and especially Jews, are concerned about the man who presided over the Labour antisemitism crisis. [A thread based on camera.org/article/jeremy…]
2/ Let's begin in January 2006—it's not the very beginning, but still a very good place to start. Not for the first time, Corbyn then campaigned for the release of two convicted terrorists who who set off a bomb at a London building HOUSING JEWISH CHARITIES and at the IL embassy.
3/ In 2009, #Corbyn warmly called Hezbollah "friends," described them as committed to "peace, social justice, and political justice," and called on people to support them. Hezbollah, a proscribed terror organization, inter alia had BOMBED AN ARGENTINA JEWISH CENTER, killing 85.

New: Jeremy Corbyn and his Shadow Cabinet have agreed a position of putting whatever Brexit the next PM pursues - deal or no-deal - to a referendum in which Labour would campaign for Remain
Here are the key paragraphs in Corbyn’s message to Labour members
What’s key is that the unions’ stage 2 proposal - that in a general election Labour could campaign for a Brexit they’ve negotiated - has not been adopted by the party - at least not yet. That’s a fight for another day.

Excellent write-up by J. Flores at FRN on Russia going along with western narrative over the IL-20 jet downed on Monday.
That French frigate Auvergne shot down the plane is a long shot, but #NATO wanting to sever #Russia–#France ties is nothing new. fort-russ.com/2018/09/full-a…
Summing up the facts that led to, and followed, the downing of a Russian IL-20 plane.

1/ #NATO has strongly opposed the #Idlib campaign from #Syria & #Russia, warning a response to a chemical attack and then – to secure an escalation – on any attack. maps.southfront.org/now-u-s-threat…
2/ One #NATO member also strongly opposed to the #Idlib campaign, but for all different reasons: #Turkey reinforced its backed rebels in Idlib with support (after striking out the #HTS on its books) and weapons.
