Jeremy Corbyn’s anti-Semite crisis worsens as a shocking dossier brings his past back to haunt him
The Sun on Sunday reveals a damning diary of meeting with hate preachers and other racists
JEREMY Corbyn sinks deeper into the anti-Semitism crisis as we reveal a damning diary of his meetings with hate preachers and other racists.
The Labour leader is now in danger of being overwhelmed by allegations spanning two decades.
His past has come back to haunt him in the shape of our 16-year dossier, which you can read about below.
Mr Corbyn’s woes had already deepened when pictures surfaced of him standing near the graves of terrorists who murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
He insisted he was at a service for Palestinian “martyrs” on a visit to Tunisia in 2014.
But he was pictured holding a giant wreath just feet from the burial plot of Black September members behind the massacre.
In other photos, he is seen close to the grave of Atef Bseiso, the former Palestine Liberation Organisation intelligence chief also linked to the slaughter.
A video also surfaced on Saturday showing him apparently making a direct link between the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Nazi occupation of Europe.
Our dossier includes him writing to defend a vicar who suggested the 9/11 Twin Towers attack was an inside job by Jews.
Mr Corbyn also invited Hamas and Hezbollah to Parliament and called them his “friends”.
Labour Friends of Israel director Jennifer Gerber said on Saturday night: “This pattern of behaviour, associating with terrorists, anti-Semites and Israel-haters, is truly appalling.
“It shows yet again that, despite his claims to be promoting peace, Mr Corbyn has repeatedly shared the company of apologists for those who hate and murder Jews.”
Tory MP Andrew Percy said: “He clearly cannot claim to be entirely against this form of racism and is not fit to hold the office of Prime Minister.”
Labour on Saturday said it had responded to the events when details were first made public.
A spokesman declared it to be a “mishmash of old allegations” in an attempt to smear him. He added: “Jeremy has campaigned for peace and justice in the Middle East all his political life.”

The Sun on Sunday says
JEREMY Corbyn never fails to surprise you.
Just when you thought his rancid links with anti-Semites could not get any worse, along comes another outrage.
Yesterday it was revealed he laid a memorial wreath for the terror leaders behind the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Today we reveal he has appeared alongside anti-Jewish racists a multitude of times since 2002.
Many Labour MPs — among them lifelong anti-racism campaigners — will feel sickened by this.
But when will they speak out?
