Former UK Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn Refuses to Condemn Hamas

Jeremy Corbyn refuses to condemn Hamas after militant group carries out deadly attack on Israel

Jeremy Corbyn has refused to condemn Hamas after militants stormed settlements in southern Israel, killing and taking hostage both soldiers and civilians in a surprise attack.

The former Labour leader said “all attacks are wrong” and repeated his call for an end to Israel’s occupation of Palestine. “Which, of course, is fundamentally the background to the whole issue,” Mr Corbyn said.

“I don’t support any attacks, therefore I criticise them all,” he added.

However, asked by ITV News, Mr Corbyn stopped short of directly condemning the terrorist group he previously called “friends” – comments he later said he regretted.

(...)

“We need an immediate ceasefire and urgent de-escalation,” he said. And he called for Israel to end its occupation of Palestine as “the only means of achieving a just and lasting peace”.

His hatred against Jews makes it impossible for him to condemn the horrible attacks of those deadly killers against innocent people (and concert goers). 😕

How are you going to resolve a 3,000 year old war when the group responsible is in every other Arab nation from Syria on down to Egypt?

Palestine is just where that war is taken place. It's not where Hamas really is centered.

That is why Israel was gone from the whole area centuries before WWII. They were kicked out.

@DeWayfarer Sorry but I don't get your point. Are you saying you are not surprised the Jews were "kicked out" of Palestine because they resisted the colonization by the Roman Empire???

@helenS even the Romans had help! They couldn't do it by themselves even.

It's unresolvable.
