…Corbyn, it seems, is a funny duck, who really seems to believe it is possible to be against antisemitism but also for the Jew-killers in Hamas and Hezbollah, both openly bent on the complete destruction of the State of Israel.

This is the new strain of Jew-hatred which has been with us, I guess, since we became a people. The hatred is always expressed in angry allegations of Jewish evil deeds and always the accusations are baseless. They are figments of the imaginations of people who hate Jews.

You remember too some months back in Barcelona where a satirical magazine like Charlie Hebdo bashes Israel and its editor said the same thing.
