Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour is the BIGGEST threat to Jews in the world today, Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Centre warns
JEREMY Corbyn is the biggest global threat to Jews according to the world’s leading Nazi-hunting organisation.
The Simon Wiesenthal Centre of has ranked the Labour Party under Corbyn’s leadership at the top of the world’s top 10 anti-Semites.
The organisation has warned that Corbyn would turn Britain into a “pariah state” if he wins Thursday’s Election, .
The human rights body said: “No one has done more to mainstream antisemitism into the political and social life of a democracy than the Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour Party.
“Members and staff who have dared to speak out against the hate were purged, but not those who declared ‘Heil Hitler’ and ‘F*** the Jews.”
Rabbi Marvin Hier, the head of the centre, said: “If it wasn’t for Winston Churchill and Britain leading the fight against Nazism in the Second World War who knows if the Allies would have won?
“Britain was at the forefront of defeating Hitler and now, on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the person who wants to sit in Winston Churchill’s chair at No 10 is fostering antisemitism.
“If Mr Corbyn wins he will make Britain a pariah on the world stage. It will be a disaster for democracy.”
Established more than 40 years ago to combat hate, The US-based Simon Wiesenthal Centre is named after the death camp survivor who helped track down more than 1,000 Nazi war criminals.
No one has done more to mainstream antisemitism into the political and social life of a democracy than the Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour Party.

A Labour spokesman said: “This ranking is ridiculous and grossly offensive.
“Putting Jeremy Corbyn at the head of a list containing neo-Nazi synagogue shooters is a transparent political attack and has nothing to do with tackling antisemitism.”
Corbyn’s leadership has been dogged by an ongoing row over anti-Semitism among activists and officials of the Labour Party.
It culminated in Scotland Yard launching a criminal investigation into alleged hate crimes – and seven MPs quitting in protest at the failure to tackle the problem – but the party continues to be plagued by the same issue.
Just last month the party was rocked by ANOTHER anti-Semitism storm as a shocking video emerged of a candidate playing a song Jewish leaders say is about the “destruction of Israel”.
Councillor and bass player Alana Bates – who is standing as an MP in St Ives, Cornwall – strums along to lyrics including “Israel is a racist state” and “Israel is an apartheid state” in the clip.
‘DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL’
It came just days after claims emerged Dan Carden, who served in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet before Parliament dissolved, sang “Hey Jews” to the tune of Beatles classic “Hey Jude”. He denied the claims.
Last year, Corbyn sparked fury after defending an artist who painted an anti-Semitic mural.
The saga reignited the party’s longstanding battle with anti-Semitism allegations and the Labour leader eventually admitted it was right the painting was removed.
Then just months later he admitted for the first time being present as a wreath was laid for members of the terrorist group who carried out the .
The Labour leader said that he watched the wreath being placed to honour members of the Black September group, which killed 11 Israeli athletes, but did not “think” he was involved.
The party has come under regular fire over its handling of disciplinary action against members accused of making anti-Semitic remarks – such as Ken Livingstone, who was suspended for two years for claiming Hitler was a Zionist.
Naz Shah, former MP for Bradford West, also resigned and apologised as an aide to shadow chancellor John McDonnell after she was accused of sharing anti-Semitic graphics on social media.
