Jeremy Corbyn pranked by Jewish activists with sign on his garden fence listing his links to extremist groups
JEREMY Corbyn has been pranked by Jewish activists today with a sign on his garden fence highlighting the "threat" he poses to the community because of his links to extremist groups.
As the Labour boss struggles to get a grip on the anti-Semitism crisis that's still engulfing the party, activists took matters into their own hands.
This morning a small sign was put in place outside his Islington home, Guido Fawkes revealed.
It read: "London HQ for Hamas, Hezbollah, the IRA and the Kremlin.
"All enquires to Jeremy Corbyn.
"(Holocaust deniers and anti-Semites please use the back entrance)."
They claimed it was to "highlight the threat that he poses to the British Jewish community".
A Labour Party spokesperson declined to comment.
Mr Corbyn is still struggling to contain the fallout from the party's ongoing row over anti-Semitism.
Today Marie van der Zyl, the President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, demanded Mr Corbyn come out of hiding and "do the right thing" by adopting the full international definition of anti-Semitism.
She wrote for Jewish News: "He is in hiding from the media and refuses to face the obvious difficult questions. He is clearly just hoping it will go away. I’ve got some bad news for him. Unless he does what he needs to do, it won’t."
The party has been rowing for weeks about the specific details in Labour's new anti-Semitism code, which could allow anti-Jew hate to continue in the party.

But yesterday one of the party's biggest backers, GMB, joined calls for the party boss to back down and accept the full definition.
Momentum boss Jon Lansman - the organiser of Mr Corbyn's grassroots army - has also pressured him to change tack.
Labour sources fear it could cost them the election, and several MPs could even quit if the party doesn't back down.
