Israel’s Labor leader Herzog slams Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘betrayal of Labour values, hatred of Israel’; Lapid urges Labor to sever ties with UK counterpart, so long as ‘anti-Semitism’-spouting Corbyn is in charge
UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn seemed to draw a comparison between Israel and the Islamic State terror group on Thursday, in remarks he made during an event marking the release of a report on anti-Semitism within his party.
Corbyn was responding to the report, which concluded that while in the Labour Party there is an “occasionally toxic atmosphere,” it is “not overrun by anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or other forms of racism.”
