*Thread* Jeremy Corbyn would like you to think that he finds Israelis-are-Nazis abuse unacceptable.
Here he is in 2018, for example, ever so sorry about his platform sharing in this context, don't you know. 1/4
What about the Islamist agitator Salma Yaqoob, then? Here she is calling Gaza a "concentration camp" at one of the countless Israel hatred demonstrations she has attended. 2/4
Ah, that will be, er, different, I suppose. Corbyn is due to share a platform with Yaqoob this Saturday, alongside ever faithful Diane Abbott and Claudia Webbe. 3/4
Indeed, Yaqoob is a "fantastic activist". A "hero", even.
The man doesn't even know what shame is. 4/4

“Don’t think because you are a Jew you are better than the whole world. You are the scum of the world.”
Swiss Cottage, London, last night. This rabble assembles there every Friday to cause alarm and distress. 1/6
What did the police make of the abuse? Not much.
"If every person who has a bad opinion about whether it’s a colour of skin, whether it’s a religion, whether it’s a football team or anything. Now we’re not going to prosecute and arrest people, because people disagree.” 2/6
The rabble’s view on the police? "Gestapo tactics!" They show that "Zionism has corrupted all levels of British society".
This chap was upset to learn that calling for people to defy police orders can have consequences. He was arrested before last Saturday’s London protest. 3/6
Some still insist the anti-Israel protests are "peace marches" and bristle when people say they are rallies for terrorists.
So let's take a look at the record of the big "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" protests in London over the last year.
Is this a "peace activist"? 1/10
The red triangle above is a symbol of support for Hamas. It echoes their propaganda videos, where a triangle hovers above Israelis they are about to kill.
It is, well, all the rage of late at the London protests. Here are some more fashionable marchers.
Bring your kids! 2/10
The red triangle goes very well with flags. Or hate messages. "Beware of the deadly virus Israel-25", for example. Or just don one to show what a caring person you are, looking after the disabled and all that. 3/10
Would you chop off your daughter’s hand if she was a thief? The prophet of Islam said he would.
Horrifying? No! This shows the “true justice” of sharia law.
See how Umar Muqaddam vilified modern Western justice a few days ago at the Al-Rahma mosque in Leeds, a charity. 1/5
Chopping for one and all is superior, you see, to Western systems where outcomes depend on "who you are".
So, who does have a good justice system these days? The Taliban. Admire how "swift" they are. "Going back to sharia" is the way to see "justice in the land". 2/5
Here's another reason to like the Taliban. Just supporting capital punishment is not enough. The killing should be carried out in public. 3/5
Look at the last big hate march in August alone. Yes, this man is making a Nazi salute to insult counter-protesters. Nazi abuse is very common at these protests. 2/5
If you support terrorists, you are most welcome. Bring a placard! 3/5
In February, Leicester Islamists staged one of the most overtly pro-Hamas protests I have ever seen in the UK.
Here, Asim Qureshi of Cage says Israel "cannot exist" and must be "resisted".
On the right, you will see Shockat Adam, now an MP. At a terror rally! 1/6
They held nothing back. See them marching on the day, chanting for Palestinian terrorists and cheering on the Houthis of Yemen. 2/6
This is the kind of scene where you will find the Islamist pressure group Mend, which Adam has worked for.
Here, its CEO urges the crowd to pray for a Palestinian “victory”, offers warm words to the ultra racist David Miller, and insists “you should be attacking Zionism”. 3/6
