Israel’s Labor leader Gabbay cuts ties with Britain’s Corbyn

Avi Gabbay, head of Israel’s opposition Labor party, said Tuesday he was cutting all relations with British Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day over his handling of anti-Semitism. He said in a letter that it was “my responsibility to acknowledge the hostility that you have shown to the Jewish community and the anti-Semitic statements and actions you have allowed.” Corbyn, he said, had expressed “very public hatred of the policies of the government of the state of Israel, many of which regard the security of our citizens and actions of our soldiers – policies where the opposition and coalition in Israel are aligned.” Gabbay did not sever ties between the two Labor parties, only with Corbyn, and cited better relations with former British Labor prime ministers Harold Wilson, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

    That is the only thing that Corbyn is good at, to be a anti-semite. He loves camel’s juice like his friends.

    And here it begins… May and Johnson have lost their credibility over the Skripal case and Brexit, so Tories will be replaced with Labor, but without Corbyn at the helm.

    THE POPULATION AT LARGE, AND THE WORLD, AND ESPECIALLY OUR WONDERFUL MEDIA, NOT FORGETTING THE GREATEST NEWS OUTLET THE B.B.C. DO NOT COMMENT OR QUESTION WHAT THE LABOUR PARTY AND LEADERS SAY. MR CORBYN ALWAYS SAID HE WAS ANTI RACIST, NEVER AN ANTI-SEMITE. THERE IS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED MR. JOHN MCDONNELL, IS THE LEADER OF THE PARTY, AS HE SEEMS TO BE THE REAL SPOKESMEN OF THE PARTY, NOT MR. CORBYN, AS MR. CORBYN IS ONLY A PUPPET. ONE PROBLEM, I CAN’T SEE THE STRINGS BEING PULLED. MR. CORBYN’S NAME WAS PUT FOR LEADERSHIP AS A JOKE, AND THIS JOKE BACKFIRED. STILL, HE HAS NOT MADE ANY IMPACT, MOST OF HIS PARTY HATE HIM, AND CHALLANGE HIM OPENLY. MR. CORBYN, PLEASE DO THE DECENT THING AND RESIGN, AND WIPE THAT FALSE SMILE OFF YOUR FACE.
