NOT AGAIN

Jeremy Corbyn was a member of ANOTHER Facebook group where members share anti-Semitic content like Jews ‘supporting ethnic cleansing’

He was a member of the group since 2014 - but has today been removed - where users have shared comments blaming the Israel lobby for the party's anti-Semitism crisis, and saying they have a 'Jewish privilege'

JEREMY Corbyn has today been removed from a second Facebook group where members have shared anti-Semitic posts.

Members shared articles saying that half of Israeli Jews "believe in ethnic cleansing" and in support of Labour Party members who were kicked out for anti-Semitic allegations.

The Labour boss was added to it in 2014 by Labour activist Mosabbir Ali, who has shared posts from Jackie Walker, who was suspended from Labour for saying Jews financed the slave trade.

Mr Corbyn was still a member of the group this morning,

A spokesperson for the Labour leader said: "Jeremy condemns antisemitism in all its forms in the strongest possible terms.

"He was added to this group without his knowledge."

The group, which has 1,782 members, features several shared articles and posts which are derogatory about Jews.

One shared article claimed that "nearly half of Israeli Jews believe in ethnic cleansing" and another said the word anti-Semitism was a word only used to shut up anyone questioning Israel. Other posts show members claiming that the Labour Party's anti-Semitism crisis was manufactured by the Israel lobby.

Mr Corbyn was added to the group in 2014 by Mosabbir Ali, who has himself shared posts claiming the Israel lobby was behind the anti-Semitism crisis in the party.

Earlier this month Mr Corbyn was exposed for being a member of a different - closed Facebook group full of anti-Semitic posts.

Jewish campaigners revealed the Labour leader was a member of the anti-Israel group Palestine Live alongside several other party figures.

Labour confirmed they were launching a probe into claims party members had posted anti-Semitic comments in the secret group.

The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism said the evidence gathered by blogger David Collier suggested Jeremy Corbyn was among the members of the Palestine Live group until shortly before he became leader in 2015.

Exchanges by group members included discussions of conspiracy myths about the Rothschild family.

Other posts included allegations about Israeli involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as well as links to material produced by neo-Nazi groups.

The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism said there was “no conceivable justification” for Mr Corbyn’s involvement in the group and that it would be filing a disciplinary complaint to the party against him.

A spokesman for the Labour leader said there was no suggestion he had made any anti-Semitic postings and that he had been unaware of the alleged comments.
