After claiming he could not remember the event, footage has been revealed of Jeremy Corbyn thanking terrorist group Hamas for dinner
JEREMY Corbyn’s claim he cannot remember having a takeaway with terrorists is in tatters after a video emerged of him heaping praise on Hamas and thanking them for the grub.
Two weeks ago the embattled Labour chief said he had no memory of breaking bread with the bloodthirsty antisemitic militants in Gaza eight years ago.
The Sun revealed that Mr Corbyn had boasted of a sharing dinner with Hamas in 2010 - despite their violence against Jews and denial of the Holocaust.
But the veteran lefty, fighting off an antisemitism storm engulfing his party, tried to distance himself from the controversy by claiming he did not remember the meal.
During a visit to Scotland in August he told reporters: “A takeaway dinner? I don’t remember any takeaway dinners.”
But new footage published by The Sun today shows him declaring the meal was “very nice of them and a quite a nice gesture”.
He added “certainly the food was more edible than you get in some other places, it was really good”.
Hamas bosses are on UK sanctions lists and a proscribed as a terror group by the US and EU.
But in a speech to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in 2010 Mr Corbyn said there was cause for “very strong optimism” for Holocaust-denying enemies of Israel seizing power in Gaza as they were “doing their best.”
