Our adopted IHRA examples clearly stated this, it was never about this and any attempt to conflate the issue is illustrative of your contempt.

Welcome back Wayne
I thought I read that Hodge said that she had not apologised at all........a bit of spinning by Labour perhaps.....
Good old Daily Mail eh... Extreme right wing UKIP, NEW true Brexit party, Anne Frank comparisons... "Jewish schoolgirl" (as opposed to Holocaust victim).. Lance-corporal Bolton, Tommy Robinson, women's knickers, left 3rd wife for woman half his age..sex scandal - all in the same article. I can hear the net curtains twitching in suburbia.

Jeremy Corbyn...what an embarrassment to Britain. Why is this man still the leader of the Labour party? It shows how decrepit and fundamentally broken Labour is when a far-left racist who lays wreaths on the graves of terrorists and compares Israel to the Nazi's is their immovable leader.

Jeremy Corbyn 2018 backtracks today that he did not lay a wreath at a memorial where Black September militants were buried; .
Jeremy Corbyn 2017 said he did indeed lay a wreath () at a memorial, which in a 2014 article he penned himself, stated that "wreaths were laid at the graves of those who died on that day and on the graves of others killed by Mossad agents in Paris in 1991".
In today's interview; he said that "He was there as he saw it as a fitting memorial for a terrorist incident... [referring to Israel's bombing of PLO HQ in Tunis]".
The same Jeremy Corbyn who in 2016 rejected an invitation to the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in Israel.
Time to wake up and ask for better. The socialist project can live on and succeed without a man who is tinged with controversy after controversy.

I'm no fan of his policies either, but it baffles me how Momentum have gone for Corbyn rather than McDonnell. Their politics seem largely identical, but not only has McDonnell actually run things rather than spent his career protesting, but he seems to have a lot less mud on him.

Please can you take the time to find out what actually happened before commenting in future.
The raid in 1985 hit the PLO HQ in Tunis (ie: a country that Israel was not in conflict with), killing at least 15 Tunisian civilians and wounding dozens more - in addition to the 56 Palestinians killed. It was that bad that even the Yanks condemned it and didn't block a Security Council resolution blaming Israel in the UN, and at least one authorative account of the raid (Bergman's book "Rise and Kill First") claims that the only senior PLP leader killed was a moderate who had actually been negotiating with Israel.
As for the Paris killings, that was actually the murder of Asef Bseiso in 1992 (forgive me for expanding on an answer given previously). Bseiso was a high ranking PLO member but the link to Munich has never been expanded upon (indeed the Israelis denied killing him at first, may have taken him off the list of people to kill and it happened twenty years after the Munich murders). What we do know is that Bseiso was one of the main links between the PLO and various Western intelligence agencies, which was perhaps a more important reason for his removal.
McDonnell is a hardliner. A Labour Party led by him would be far more "revolutionary" in nature, as opposed to Corbyn's traditionalist view of what social democracy is.
Anyhow.
Concerning the wreath, I feel that it's an acceptable position to commemorate the deaths of all people involved in terror incidents - and I'm saddened to see that Corbyn no longer believes this. There's a reason why people want to blow themselves up in the misplaced belief of martyrdom, and simply ignoring that so that you can just shout "you bad, we good" isn't helpful for anyone.

State of this comment, from top to bottom. Have a word.
Oh the irony.
How long until Mossad make things interesting?
Edit: The sad fact of the matter is that I'm only half joking.
