Champion for Peace, Jeremy Corbyn
"Jeremy Corbyn should absolutely not be associated with men like that [Maher al-Taher, Syria-based leader-in-exile, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine]."
"They kill to satisfy their political needs. He needs to come to Israel to see how things really are."

"I was unaware of any of his background."Leader of the British Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, a staunch ally of the 'Palestinian cause', has been responsible for a rise among various of the party's members of anti-Semitic statements in fact echoing his own propensity to alienate Jews in Britain who have traditionally supported Labour. His behaviour and the recent revelations of his trip to Tunis in 2014 -- when he was a backbench Member of Parliament, funded by Tunisia, where he was present to lay a wreath honouring Black September members who had been involved in the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre of Israeli athletes and their coach -- has roiled British politics and the press.
"I don't share platforms with terrorists," Mr Corbyn. I don't believe in killing people."
"I have attended memorial events for those that have died in the sadness of all of these conflicts, and that is my position."
British Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn
Several months after that event took place an Israeli-Canadian government auditor, praying at Kehilat Bnei Torah synagogue in Jerusalem was viciously attacked with a meat cleaver as he knelt in prayer. Chaim Rotman was left in a medically induced coma after the attack and died before the year was out. Four rabbis and a police officer were brutally butchered on that day, a day of gruesomely bloody viciousness when two Palestinians from East Jerusalem launched that attack on the synagogue occupants in a barbarous attack.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was proud to claim "full responsibility" which in Palestinian parlance is to say, full honours for "this heroic operation conducted by our heroes". The two attackers who were themselves killed when police and soldiers responded to the bloodbath were cousins, Uday Abu Jamal, 22 and Ghassan Muhammad Abu Jamal, 32, both affiliated with the PFLP. The company that Jeremy Corbyn keeps is not known to be particularly civilized.
Corbyn's political support in Britain is sourced from the hard-left, anti-Zionists while he claims to be involved merely in the struggle to achieve peace at any cost. Gordon Brown the former Labour prime minister, concerned over Corbyn's response to the party's descent into anti-Semitism has stated that the party has "got to change". It has changed, enormously, from the time that Mr. Brown was in office, changed to the point where it is fairly unrecognizable to Jewish Members of Parliament and of the party, much less British Jews in general.
Corbyn shared a platform at the International Conference on Monitoring the Palestinian Political and Legal Situation in the Light of Israeli Aggression, with a Hamas leader. He would, needless to say, know that the man beside him was with Hamas, since he considers the terrorist group to be a legitimate government, a group he is proud to speak of as colleagues and friends. Organized by the Centre for Strategic Studies for North Africa, the event's purpose was one of reconciliation -- yet again -- between the two rival factions, Fatah and Hamas.
"Now that this has come to light this is unacceptable behaviour. Not just from the person leading the Labour Party but leading her Majesty’s Opposition."
"It’s not just about feeling hurt, it’s about confirming concerns. It’s a watershed moment. The leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition is an embarrassment and an electoral liability. How on earth could he be a world leader?"
