Palestinian Ambassador Urges Jeremy Corbyn Not To 'Give in' Over Anti-Semitism

This edition of the program is about the efforts by the Israel lobby in Britain to portray an anti-Semitic picture of the Labour Party under Corbyn. The discussion is that, historically, the Labour is the least anti-Semitic party in the country. Although the Zionists are trying to conflate criticism of Israel to anti-Semitism, Corbyn is enjoying unmatched popularity. Jeremy Corbyn has been urged by the Palestinian ambassador to the UK not to "give in" on excluding certain examples of anti-Semitism from Labour's code of conduct. It comes as Mr Corbyn faces growing pressure from MPs and union bosses to adopt the full list of anti-Semitism examples as set out in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's controversial definition. Labour's National Executive Committee decided last month to exclude four examples of anti-Semitism from the IHRA definition in its new code of conduct, including "claiming Israel's existence was a racist endeavour". The UK has one of the strongest Palestinian solidarity movements in the western world and many believe that movement will be strengthened if Corbyn is elected as British Prime Minster in the next general election. Thus, that is why he has been attacked and smeared as anti-Semite by the Israel lobby and the British media establishment.
