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). 😕

Mr Corbyn is entitled to his opinion.

I would not vote Labour whilst he was leader.

@SW-User ... and I am entitled to my opinion too.

@helenS I suspect I agree with you on this issue anyway.

My dilemma with Corbyn though is that not voting for him, it brought in Sunak and his cronies. Equally unpalatable.

@SW-User ... similar to the mythical dilemma of Scylla and Charybdis. Two monsters, avoid one and you'll get the other one.

@helenS A nice way of putting it.

@SW-User Thank you 🌷

@SW-User I would probably vote for the Liberal Party if I lived in the UK.

@helenS I’m in a key marginal. But the British public are fickle.

@SW-User Who do you blame Hamas or Israel there's terrible things happening over there?

@senghenydd it’s looking for compassion and peace. Thankfully there are people working towards that.

@SW-User I'm glad I don't live anywhere near any war torn regions, I appreciate the peaceful life I have.

@senghenydd It was not fun in the Irish troubles.

@SW-User I have sympathy for anyone living in a war-torn area life is so precious and short.
