Video emerges of Jeremy Corbyn admitting he laid wreath at Munich extremist ceremony – after he today claimed he ‘doesn’t think he was involved’
The under-fire boss admitted today that he was present at the time a wreath was put down at the graves of extremists who were shot in 1992, but claimed he didn't lay it down himself
VIDEO has emerged of Jeremy Corbyn admitting he DID lay a wreath at a ceremony where Munich terrorists were honoured in Tunisia - despite today claiming he "didn't know" if he was involved.
In an interview with Sky News last year Mr Corbyn said that he personally did put down a tribute at the graveyard.
In another day of chaos for the leftie peacenik, he faced a storm of criticism after fresh pictures emerged last weekend of him at a cemetery in Tunisia containing the memorials of PLO terrorists.
The Labour boss was snapped holding a wreath just feet away from the graves of some of those responsible for the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. One of them was leading PLO official Atef Bseiso, who was assassinated in 1992.
In an attempt to distance himself from the row Mr Corbyn told reporters this lunchtime: "A wreath was indeed laid by some of those who attended the conference to those that were killed in Paris in 1992."
Yet the old video footage from last year of Mr Corbyn, he says: "I laid a wreath to all those who died in the air attack that took place on Tunis on the headquarters of the Palestinians organisations."
Instead the under-fire Labour boss today tried to claim that he was there to pay tribute to all victims of terror.
Mr Corbyn and sources close to him had insisted for days that he was at the service in 2014 to commemorate 47 Palestinians killed in an Israeli air strike on a Tunisian PLO base in 1985, which has a plaque in the same area.
But furious critics said his latest denials were a disgusting insult to the victims of the terror attacks.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu led those who lashed out for his latest remarks.
The official office of the Prime Minister tweeted this evening: "The laying of a wreath by Jeremy Corbyn on the graves of the terrorist who perpetrated the Munich massacre and his comparison of Israel to the Nazis deserves unequivocal condemnation from everyone – left, right and everything in between."
Jewish Labour MP Luciana Berger raged: "Being “present” is the same as being involved.
"When I attend a memorial, my presence alone, whether I lay a wreath or not, demonstrates my association & support. There can also never be a 'fitting memorial' for terrorists. Where is the apology?
Corbyn spoke at 'terror conference' after wreath laying ceremony
JEREMY Corbyn spoke at a 'terror conference' after he was present at a wreath laying ceremony for extremists.
The leftie leader has come under fire after pictures emerged of him holding a wreath that was laid down at the graves of those who murdered 11 Israelis in the 1972 Munich massacre.
Labour sources have claimed he was there to honour the 47 victims of an Israeli airstrike on a Palestinian air base in Tunisia.
But pictures show him apparently standing just feet from the grave of the Black September terrorists.
He went on to speak at a "special" conference in the country where groups including Fatah, terror organisations Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine were there.
Also in attendance was Ramsey Clark, the former US attorney general who represented Saddam Hussein in his trial for crimes against humanity, and Serbian President Slobodan Milošević.
Mr Corbyn wrote in the Morning Star in 2014 after the event: "In my own speech to the conference there was great enthusiasm for the prospects of a British parliamentary vote on October 13 on Palestinian statehood.
"The significance of the conference was obviously the outcome of a shared agenda and endeavour, but also the unity between all Palestinian factions and parties."
And Chair of Labour Friends of Israel, Joan Roan, sent him a letter demanding he give a full apology,
She said she was "deeply disturbed" by the photos and demanded he explain how it was appropriate to do so.
Jennifer Gerber, Director of Labour Friends of Israel stormed: "Jeremy Corbyn's latest statement is a further insult to those savagely murdered at Munich and their bereaved relatives.
"He says he was paying respect to victims of terrorism when there is clear photographic evidence of him holding a wreath at the grave of the terrorists themselves.
"Jeremy Corbyn’s appalling actions, and Labour’s attempted cover up, is another truly shameful day for the party he leads."
Last night the widows of two of the Israeli athletes that were murdered in the massacre condemned the Labour boss for standing at the graves of those responsible.
“For Mr Corbyn to honour these terrorists, is the ultimate act of maliciousness, cruelty and stupidity,” Ankie Spitzer and Ilana Romano said.
And the Labour boss faced calls to quit yesterday from Home Secretary Sajid Javid, who said he wasn't fit to be leader.
