Goodbye Jeremy Corbyn. They said you don't have an antisemitic bone in your body. That may be true, but your brain is full of it. Can we remember all the examples? Probably not but I'll have a go /1
The mural, obviously. Jewish bankers with big noses making loads of money while others suffer. Why are they taking it down, you asked. Because it's antisemitic, everyone replied. But what about free speech, you said. Free speech for antisemites? Really? theguardian.com/politics/2018/… /2
Saying British "Zionists" who have lived in Britain "all their lives" "don't understand English irony". In other words, they aren't properly English even if they are born here. Which is what racists say about Jews. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6… /3
Your praise for a book that blamed nineteenth century imperialism on finance houses run by "men of a single and peculiar race" and claimed no "great war" could occur if the "House of Rothschild" decided against it. What race could that be, Jeremy? newstatesman.com/politics/stagg… /4
Your appetite for conspiracy theories about Israeli hidden hands and false flags and tails wagging dogs /5
Your obsession with the power and influence of Jewish newspapers and your call for a public inquiry into the "pro-Israel lobby" /6
Inviting Raed Salah for tea on the House of Commons terrace *after* a British court had found he used an antisemitic blood libel huffingtonpost.co.uk/alan-johnson/w… /7
Going to a meeting of Deir Yassin Remembered *after* its founder Paul Eisen had been exposed as a Holocaust denier telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/2… /8
Hosting a meeting in Parliament *on Holocaust Memorial Day* called "From Auschwitz to Gaza" that compared Israel to Nazi Germany, as part of a campaign to rename Holocaust Memorial Day labourlist.org/2018/08/corbyn… /9
Your name is still on their Early Day Motion supporting the campaign to rename Holocaust Memorial Day edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti… /10
Complaining that the BBC is biased "towards saying... Israel has a right to exist". Because Israel's existence is such a terrible thing, right? /11
Calling Hamas and Hizbollah "friends" while sitting next to a Hizbollah supporter who had published Holocaust denial cartoons, and then saying complaints about antisemitism are "nonsense" /12
Complaining that a "brother" from Hamas who helped to organise the suicide bombing of a cafe in Jerusalem was put in prison and going to Doha to meet him and the other "brothers" when they were released /13
The wreath. Of course, the wreath theguardian.com/politics/2018/… /14
Doing nothing to stop Ken Livingstone, Chris Williamson, Ken Loach and the rest continually saying this is all a smear. Failing to expel Livingstone & saying you were "sad" when he resigned. Sad that an antisemite had left the party! That says it all politicshome.com/news/article/j… /15
These are all things you said and did yourself. Thoughts that live in your head, words that came from your mouth and actions by your own hand. I'm sure there are more that I've forgotten /16
I haven't even got on to all the antisemites, terrorists and conspiracy cranks you have met, spoken alongside, praised and encouraged /17
This is your shameful legacy as you leave office: you were once a famous anti-racist, now you are the man who led the Labour Party into an EHRC investigation for discriminating against Jews. Goodbye. And don't mention Cable Street ever again. /End
