There is a very silly smear story in the Mail today claiming Jeremy Corbyn once supported ISIS militants.
The story was written by the Mail’s Executive Political Editor, Jack Doyle.
Doyle infamously won the prestigious ‘Tabloid BS Story of the Month’ award in 2010 for an even sillier story claiming that Mohammed is now the most popular boy’s name in the UK:
The reality is that only 2% of boy’s names in the UK are Mohammed.
But as usual, the Mail doesn’t like to let facts get in the way of a good smear story …

Corbyn is an anti Semite & Brits must reject him.

If you’re agreeing that Mohammed (inc. various spellings) was 2%, then it WAS the most popular. The next highest was Oliver at about 1.9%.

Progressives must vote tactically in this election because the Tories won the last election with 36.9% of the vote, and 24.5% of the eligible vote (including John Bercow).
1. Vote Labour in Labour-Tory marginals.
2. Vote LibDem in LibDem-Tory marginals.
3. Vote SNP in most of Scotland.
4. Vote Plaid Cymru in PC-Labour marginals.
5. Vote Green in Labour/Tory safe seats; Labour-LibDem marginals; Brighton Pavilion; Bristol West; the Isle of Wight; Sheffield Central; Bath; Glasgow North; Falkirk; and Edinburgh North and Leith.
6. Vote for Clare Wright in East Devon.
7. Vote for Dr. Louise Irvine in South West Surrey (Jeremy Hunt’s seat).

Don’t trust the newspaper billionaires! IMHO, these are the main newspapers ranked from best(?) to worst:
1. The Independonk (I couldn’t think of a better nickname).
2. The Guardian Angel of Diet Thatcherism.
3. The Funhouse Mirror (they distort the truth).
4. The Grimes.
5. The Torygraph and the Express Trainwreck.
6. The Fail.
7. The Scum.
@Sharon M. Brill. Mr. Corbyn has nothing against Jewish people, he’s just critical of the state of Israel and the awful way it treats the Palestinians.

@Sharon M. Brill (1) If supporting the human rights of Semitic people, persecuted by other Semitic people, makes you anti-Semitic, then Jewish Voice for Peace is also anti-Semitic. https://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/
(2) Here’s what lies behind the smearing of Labour: http://www.medialens.org/index.php/alerts/alert-archive/2016/819-anatomy-of-a-propaganda-blitz-part-2-hitlergate.html
As I am a nice person, I have extracted this short piece for you, in case you don;t feel up to reading the whole article:
Israeli historian Ilan Pappé noted how the young electorate supporting Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders in the US have a ‘desire for cleaner, more moral politics that dare to challenge the neoliberal set up of economy and politics in the West’. The result being that ‘Members of the political elites and establishment, in very senior positons, voice clear, unashamed support for Palestine.
‘This is the background for the current vicious attack on the Labour Party and Corbyn. Whatever the Zionists in Britain point to, as an expression of anti-Semitism, which in the main are legitimate criticism of Israel, have been said before in the last 50 years. The pro-Zionist lobby in Britain, under direct guidance from Israel, picks them up because the clear anti-Zionist stance of BDS has reached the upper echelons. They are genuinely terrified by this development. Well done the BDS movement!’

Why pick on the Mail? The Express is just as bad. See eg today’s article headlined : “Furious backlash against Brussels as EU unveils military ambition to become second… NATO… “. The backlash was one Green MEP. who spoke in quite measured terms.

Jeremy needs a real education on journalism. Saying anything to get one’s name out there, smacks of being a self serving and the latest in getting’s one’s 15 minutes of fame. As fast as your rise, the faster you will fall.

The Daily Stormer endorses Mr. Corbyn because they believe he will fight the Saudi-ISIS-Jewish alliance that’s trying to rule the world! They’re clearly insane! They also back Mr. Corbyn because of his economic policies, and because he’s a man (which is really important for some reason).
Show me one anti-Semitic Jeremy Corbyn quote and I’ll show you a leprechaun.
