London – A far-left British newspaper that regularly features articles by Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn apologized for running an op-ed linking rising anti-Semitism to “Israel’s crimes.”

On Wednesday, The Morning Star pulled offline an article titled “Rising Anti-Semitism Cannot be Tackled without Addressing Israel’s Crimes.”
“This article has been removed from the website as it crossed a line in attributing anti-Semitism to the policies of the Israeli government and made demands on the ‘Jewish diaspora’ and ‘Jewish community’ as if these were responsible for Israeli policy or obliged to account for it,” the paper said in explanation.
John Elder, which some Labour activists said is a nom de plume, wrote the op-ed.
“The Morning Star deeply regrets publication of the article, which was submitted by an external contributor and which we failed to vet with the care necessary on a subject of such importance,” the paper said.
Once affiliated with Britain’s Communist Party, The Morning Star is popular with many members of Momentum, the movement within Labour of Corbyn.
Corbyn called Hezbollah and Hamas his “friends” in 2009, though he said after being elected to head Labour in 2015 that he regretted making the remark. In 2012, Corbyn defended on Facebook the creator of an anti-Semitic mural. Corbyn deleted his Facebook account earlier this year after news of this post surfaced.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews has said that British Jews cannot trust Corbyn.
Corbyn has vowed not to tolerate anti-Semitism in Labour but his critics, including the Jewish Board, say he has so far failed to follow through.
Politically correct they had to remove it, but it’s the painful blunt fact!
Sure. Just like the evil Tziyonim were responsible for the Chielmiinski massacres, the gezairov of Tach Vetat, the Crusades, the massacres of the Jews of York, the fact that Eisav soina Leyaakoiv, the hatred of Lavan to yaakov, and the deaths of all the Jews in the Midbar who followed the Eitzas Hameraglim and spouted the same hatred of Israel that you do. Without Israel our life would be like before the Nachash and before the Cheit H’egel.
Corbyn was an anti-semtie and still is don’t forget
#3 when all those terrible misfortunes happened, the gedolei yisroel,usually attributed the sins committed by Klal Yisroel to the reason that Hashem poured his wrath on the Yidden
The holy Tosfos Yom Tov wrote that the sin of speaking in Beis Haknesses was reason of Tach V”tat
In the prvious generation, the holy Chofetz Chaim, Reb Elchonon, Reb chaim brisker,the Satmar Rov all clearly held & wrote that the curse of Zionism is the cause of terrible misfortunes to befall Klal yisroel
