He said today: “Jeremy Corbyn was arguably one of the most popular leaders in the West and the most promising to those who care for progressive causes. This presented a problem for Israel because it is afraid of strong leaders who express support for the Palestinian people. It was clear that Israel would stop at nothing to prevent Corbyn from entering 10 Downing Street and indeed with its strategy of redefining and weaponizing anti-Semitism, it was able to bring down the UK Labour Party and have Jeremy Corbyn suspended on unfounded charges of anti-Semitism.”
