Goodbye Jeremy Corbyn. They said you don& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s antisemitic, everyone replied. But what about free speech, you said. Free speech for antisemites? Really? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/mar/23/corbyn-criticised-after-backing-artist-behind-antisemitic-mural">https://www.theguardian.com/politics/... /2
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? https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2019/05/j-hobson-jeremy-corbyn-and-history-left-wing-anti-semitism">https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/... /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
Your name is still on their Early Day Motion supporting the campaign to rename Holocaust Memorial Day https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/42381/never-again-for-anyone-initiative">https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day... /10
Complaining that the BBC is biased "towards saying... Israel has a right to exist". Because Israel& #39;s existence is such a terrible thing, right? https://twitter.com/TheGolem_/status/1026794681571700737">https://twitter.com/TheGolem_... /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" https://youtu.be/FQLKpY3NdeA ">https://youtu.be/FQLKpY3Nd... /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 https://twitter.com/daverich1/status/1023478307118100480">https://twitter.com/daverich1... /13
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& #39;m sure there are more that I& #39;ve forgotten /16
I haven& #39;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& #39;t mention Cable Street ever again. /End
