    He spoke during his first international trip outside Europe since he was elected Labour Party leader in 2015.

    Corbyn said during a tour of the Zaatari camp for Syrian refugees that Britain could do more to take in displaced Syrians, particularly unaccompanied children. He said government efforts have been “very, very small” compared to others in Europe, including Germany.

    On Saturday, he is to visit a decades-old camp for Palestinians uprooted in Israeli-Arab wars. He’s a vocal supporter of Palestinian statehood aspirations. Corbyn said a Labour government would quickly recognize Palestine “as a full state as part of the United Nations.”

    Corbyn has a long history of association with anti-Semites and anti-Semitic activity. (Look at the many web links to this.) So this is just a continuation of what he has done.

    Those in UK who vote for Labour while he is the Party Leader are voting for hatred of Jews and hatred of Israeli (and not just hatred of the Israeli government) !

    Typical anti Israel liberal just like the ones we have here if fauxohantas bernie or any other democrat ever becomes president they’ll probably do the same thing
    Democrats are the anti Israel party who support hamas and iran in their bid to destroy Israel
