He condemned all violence and bombing from both sides, you clearly don't.

@@TheFirstWhiteRanger I heard that same interview, it was absolutely appalling. He was repeatedly given the opportunity to condemn it and would not. In the end he said he was having trouble hearing the interviewer due to a bad line and ended the call.

Actually I think the people who planned that attack were at this cemetery.

Geert van Schaik long live Geert Wilders, living under heavy bodyguarding, while u symphatize the terrorists threating him!

Why are you going off-topic? It's about Jeremy Corbyn who went to a conference where many others went. It is also about that the BBC doesn't treat all terrorists the same. Respond to that or go play somewhere else.

You're still off-topic. My name is Geert and it has been that longer than Wilders has the same name. But that is also beside the point here...

Geert van Schaik The point here is very simple : while Whore-being always supports the terrorists, Wilders is innthe constant struggle against the islamofashists, meanning the terrorists. That's why he has is threatened while Whore-being is oraised by them. BTW, never forget his encounters with the checoslovakian "diplomat" who was a spy if the chech KGB as a matter 9f fact. & his trip to the East Germany(!!!) which surely was condacted under the tight control of the notorious Stazy! BTW, Philby was informed to the MI5 after by the woman he flirted with just after bashing Israel, just like Whore-being usually did.Meanning, every commy-cunt-ze bashes & smears Israel

Try not to forget your medicine! Wilders is a Dutch parlementarian. He earns almost 7000,- euro each month there. He had a stabile position in parlement, but now he's losing seats to another extreme-right party. All in all the total amount of seats for extreme-right parties in the Netherlands remains about the same. Wilders party - the PVV - probably will remain existing but it will lose seats to the other party, because that now has become more popular. Wilders is getting nowhere with his ideas or with his party. A couple of years ago he was part of the government, and he couldn't deliver. At some point he sought for a coalition-conflict and than he pulled the plug. Since then he is never asked again to help forming a government and the other parties have also officially declared that they don't want to rule with Wilders. Wilders knows this, but he is in the parliament for the money, so he will keep up his idiotical stance on Moslims. And as long he is in parliament, he has a big income. I would want the Dutch government to stop to pay for his security, because it is he who makes people mad. Also for principle reasons that he by now should have his act together and should organise this himself. I must add to this that the Moslims in this country (NL) don't pay much attention to him anyways. His whole protection is useless and completely exploited to picture Wilders as a victim, and being a victim gains votes. So Wilders is not a hero. He does this for getting a good income. Also... Extreme-right parties as his PVV but probably also in other countries gain votes when Islamist attackn just prior to elections. We've seen this again and again and for opportunistic reasons it wouldn't be strange at all if extreme-right parties have contacts with islamists groups and actually tell them when and where to attack. I cannot prove this, but both Caucasian extreme-right and Islamist terrorists seem to win when there is an islamist attach somewhere in our cities. This is not cynical at all... Israel has helped many islamist terrorist in their hospitals. They also gave free way via Israel to the so-called white-helmets. We see very strange alliances... and I don't buy them. I think the extreme-right just orders terrorist attacks.

Don't give compassion where no compassion exists.

Charlie McGrain i've never seen an antisemite who did not clame he had some jewish friends. U learnt taghyia perfectly

רומן צם so you are claiming this person is such an anti-Semite that he took a Jewish wife for cover? Think before you type ffs.

I wouldn't torture and kill innocent athletes who had done nothing to anybody, that's not what freedom fighters do. Nor do they honour the perpetrators of these heinous acts of cowardice. Nice try though.

Neither would I. But you might want to make yourself aware of the actions of Zionist terrorists, in the public record, at the beginning of this conflict. It was an extremely brutal campaign. I don't play the 'moral equivalence game,' blood is on everyone's hands. But you cannot move forward from a one sided or biased position, Rich. Your 'nice try' attitude tells the world that you will not be a part of any solution.

My wife is Jewish. And there are millions of Jewish people around the world who are against the actions of the "Israeli state." Pretty much the entire world, except the UK and USA governments condemn Israeli State actions. But I think there is a really important point: There really does exist a Nazi, antisemitic movement in this world. It has to be crushed. But when claims are made against the likes of Corbyn, it is very much like crying wolf. It is a serious accusation and needs to be leveled at real antisemitic actors or the accusation looses its power. One would have to be particularly blind to find anything antisemitic about Corby. That is a nonsense and the world sees it for what it is. But, without knowing a thing about me, you level the accusation at me too. That says much more about you than it does about me. It will take 'the voice of reason' on both sides of this issue. I can't see you as being any part of a solution.

Agreed, but... If you look at the pattern of these 'misunderstandings' a clear picture of the man reveals itself. Unless you subscribe to the view that he has been extremely unlucky and accident prone? His single minded hatred of Israel as a symbol of Western imperialism and American capitalism has, I believe, edged its way into boarder-line anti-semitism. He has an obvious blind spot that finds him 'accidentally' plodding through the sewer time after time. Enough already!

I concur.

It's hard to disagree with much of that. I don't think anybody truly believes that he has a genuine hatred of anyone because of their racial or religious identity, but indeed, his alignment with the Palestinian cause has lead him to some noble and necessary places but also to some dark and dangerous ones. I've said for a long time, he needs to address the broader point around this, and concede that in the past his campaigning has lead him to share platforms with the wrong people and that his political history has an inherent bias against Israel, which has caused him to be less responsive than he should have been, towards the sensitivities of Jewish people. People will accept that, it takes quite some courage to publicly admit your own flaws, and then he gets to shut this down, otherwise the hits are going to keep coming and coming to the point that the party will be perpetually paralysed and can do nothing else but put out the Daily Mail's fires. Then the easiest way to fix the problem will be to simply remove Corbyn and that - particularly after the strong election result - will make the previous coup look like a Vicar's tea party.

Couldn't agree more David! I'm a fan of JC because he is usually so straight and to the point. When he ends up doing the classic politician thing of avoiding the question it frustrates me because I hold him to a higher standard.

Corbyn did NOT lay down a wreath at the grave of (suspected) terrorists ! The details: Western politicians (incl. a Tory and a LibDem) joined a conference in 2014 to promote unity within the Palestinians so they can negotiate with Israel. The government of Tunisia was also engaged in the meeting. As is often the case during such visits there are ceremonies of commemoration or visiting of places of historic importance. One such side event was to lay down wreath(s) in the _Palestinian graveyard in Tunis_ (yes, they have their own grave yard). That was not an event that was planned ahead, I assume it was a show of goodwill and relation building by Corbyn to go along. Who was remembered ? The Israeli airforce around 1985 had attacked Tunisia and bombed a site where they suspected PLO in exile (the exile government !) - they ALSO killed civilians. btw: Not even the killed PLO members / leaders were accused of having aided in the Munich hostage event. That act of war against another nation was condemned by governments worldwide - including by Thatcher and Reagan. The Israels killed 45 people (among them were civilians, not only important people within the PLO).

this is very silly - tories are convinced that the beeb are a liberal marxist conspiracy while you are equally sure that the bbc are "all bloody Tories".. fact is BBC journalist are all doing their best to simply report the facts and not take sides - sometimes faced with the dilemma of how clearly and forthrightly to point out the failings of any particular politician or political party .. there is a problem that arises around the issue of all mainstream political parties/governments stockpiling and supporting the stockpiling of WMD - in so far as BBC naively seems to assume that to be impartial is not to forthrightly challenge a policy that would appear to be the consensus - it feels obliged not to step out of line - despite that consensus being murderous and insane..

"the Czech spy stuff was handled so professionally" BBC ripped apart tory who slurred JC on that subject..

"HE laid flower as the grave of international terrorists and HAMMAS, Hezbollah, and IRA are his mates. he is disgusting" every year leaders of all mainstream political parties in this country lay a wreath on a monument to among others - those terrorists who fire bombed Dresden - in a clear measure of their willingness to repeat that crime.. by contrast JC was laying a wreath as a measure of his condemnation of all murder, war and terrorism..

frank zappa's pussy Nick Robinson, Andrew Neil, Sarah Sands, Andrew Marr, John Humphreys, The Dimblebys - Tories

michael moose no. You confuse dialogue with endorsement. He didn't lay flowers at any terrorist's grave. The Queen now meets with ex-IRA members. Try critical thinking

The guy can only be linked to so many terrorist organisations before people start to think maybe I don't wanna think bumbling idiot leading my country

That is the plan. It's going to fail.

He's aligned with terrorist groups. You can't have boundaryless acceptance of violent extremists. He's supposed to be our leader of the opposition, so why doesn't he care about us, and our western values?

Well "He is unelectable" does not work anymore. They tried a few things but "anti semitism" seems to have the most impact so far. So they stick with that scheme.

The BBC are really losing the respect of the country - and its us that keep them in work

0 0 ignorance is bliss my friend but nowadays dangerous

0 0 Ter.rorism was nurtured by the west to dismantle the ex Soviet Union. The brainchild of Brerzinski.

You know what's relevant. The fact that Israel only has a terrorist false flag history since its creation in 1948. Operation Susannah aka the Levon Affair,1954. Israeli attack of the USS liberty in 1967 etc. Why did Israel plant bombs inside Egyptian, American, and British-owned civilian targets: cinemas, libraries and American educational centers in Cairo in 1954? BECAUSE THEY ARE TERRORISTS you dumb shit.

00 ignorant racist remark...you are now irrelevant within debate. Ignorance disqualifies you

רומן צם is the US state department a terrorist also according to Israel? because the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty which killed 34 Americans and injured 174 is documented on the state department's website. why did Israel attack and kill those Americans on the USS Liberty?

hauskalainen but the youth of Britain swallowed the myth of Comrade Corbyn in last year's general election .

Democracy Person I didn't vote for Labour partly for tactical reasons. But the youth of the UK did get it right. Next time there is a general election he will get my vote because the kids got it right. He clearly can lead the party back to power. Even Blair concedes that.

The youth are not voting for corbyn trust me, only jobless middle class brats and terrorists will vote for this commie

Geth Creator I must not feed trolls I must not feed the trolls I must not feed the trolls I must not feed the trolls

Dick de Ruiter if she's like Palin, she deserves it. She refuses to run on who she really is and that's NOT democrat! Democrats don't want her or others running under their flag. It's disingenuous!

Wendy, whether you agree with her or not, she's being framed, just like Jeremy Corbyn. Alexandria is NOT as illiterate as Sarah Palin.

Dick de Ruiter framed,? TYT told her how to run her campaign and gave her money. They are corporate! She is like Palin. She couldn't even stand up to Trevor Noah.

That US socialist is an idiot, she shouldn't speak on what she doesn't know that is why she looks ridiculous, same for corbyn. I'm not a fan of the tories but at least they're not traitorous commies who want our way of life to end

you talk of socialistst as they are communists. It is in the best interest of capitalist societies that there are rules and boundaries. In a real free society I would not trust any product. Profit is an incentive that can lead to bad things. If not fot socialism, there would be sweatshops in Europe and America with 12 year olds working 10 hours a day. And Cortez as well as Corbyn do not want to install dictatorship of workers, but simply some basic decent living standards.

This didn't age well.

Precisely paul!

The issue is the terrorists who did Munich, not the ceremony itself, so you are wrong.

He can, it's a free country. However one must be accountable for their actions and not act with deception around it all. Admit it or deny it and I'd have more respect for him as he had the balls to just fucking say it.

It was in 2014, several British MPs attended the conference. Tunisia was attacked in 1985 by the Israeli airforce - it was condemned worldwide - also by Reagan and Thatcher. They bombed what they thought was the exiled PLO government. And killed 45 people including civilians. He was invited to join the ceremony remembering the victims of 1985 (NO TERRORISTS - and likely joined out of politeness for the host country. (You bet the Tunisians were upset in 1985 being bombed just like that). There is NO photo showing that Corbyn (or anyone else) at THAT time and occasion visited a grave of suspected terrorists. There is no photo with a stone or a name. Just Corbyn holding a wreath standing with a group of man. The Munich terrorists (Black September group) of 1972 are buried in LIBYA. In Tunis there is a _Palestinian graveyard._ In 1992 Mossad kiled men in Paris which they _claimed_ had connections to Black September and/or Munich. That connection let alone a connection to Munich was never proven. These men are (like many other regular Palestinians !) buried at the Tunisia !! graveyard. It is clear that corbyn was at that site where ALSO people are buried which Israel took the liberty to kill without trial and which Israel CLAIMS were terrorists or had connections to terrorists. They were Palestinians, that is sure, and I guess France was not eager to have them buried in France - So they were buried in the Palestinian graveyard in Tunis. The ceremony was for the 1985 victims of the Israeli attack, it was introduced as such and executed as such.

Xyz Same I don’t need a review of the details of this issue. I can read and I am up to date. In my opinion, Corbyn’s a hard left progressive ideologue, and appears incapable of a nuanced stance on any of the favoured topics at the heart of his politics. All of his team are the same, Seamus Milne, Andrew Fletcher, John McDonell, and his cohorts at the Stop the West oops! War Coalition. There’s Jeremy the activist who always takes the predictable sides, and Jeremy the politician who always wheels out the weasely trope ‘I’m against ALL violence’. The thing is, some violence seems to be worse than others to them. I never saw the Stop the War Coalition demonstrating outside of the Russian Embassy about their involvement in Syria, and I’ve never seen Corbyn demonstrate against violence perpetrated by Hamas.

Spartacus Forlife bbc are propaganda pushing scum but tbf they do attack both sides when it suits their own agenda

Netanyahu kills. Corbyn does not.

Or maybe you have stopped caring for objectivity and truth. They are doing their job.

Edward L. Sanders , it was precisely because the BBC appear to have abandoned objectivity and truth that I posted this comment. The journalist labours his point to where it appears that another agenda is afoot and one can only wonder about his motivations for pursuing this. Their job is to report and inquire whilst remaining unbiased, this isnt happening here. Your observation therefore is nonsensical.

They well have appeared to have abandoned objectivity to you but that doesn't mean that they have done so. They seem to be amazingly unbiased on all the topics I am expert in. In this matter many news outlets from the Guardian, New Statesman etc. are making similar points concerning the evasiveness of Corbyn.

The mail is not pro jewish its pro israel. Like hitler!

Head Rat What don’t you go to funerals and laying wreaths? What are you on about I smell a rat?

@@leapsplashafrog sure I lay wreaths and I have no problem with jc doing the same. Why did he lady the wreath on the wrong graves then? And if he didn't then why didn't Williamson deny it when directly asked? It just seems like there is something to hide.

James Page do you remember Israelis sniper's shooting unarmed Palestinian civilians?

James Page what Hamas rockets??? That's Israeli State propaganda used by the State of Israel to continue the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Not to mention James Page if Hamas had rockets, why oh why are the Palestinians using slings and rocks against heavily armed Israeli force? Don't you think the Palestinians might try and use said rockets against the tanks Israeli forces are using to crush the Palestinians?

Seriously? What exactly do you think Hamas is up to? So no rockets then. Wow.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_Israel,_2018 Please read a newspaper

Sly, lying, capricious - I think there enough politicians like Corbyn out there... #CorbynOut

We stand with Jeremy #JC4PM

jason filio, making Abbott HS should tell you all you need to know...!

jason filio (

Erm no. A long standing Palestine sympathiser shouldnt be in politics, never mind pm. He has given 3 different versions of this story. He also joined in prayers to allah, for the the people buried there, including the terrorists. Yes Chris, jezzers record speaks for itself.... and it shows over the years he has been to a plethora of palestini sympathetic gatherings. Chris.... I thank God you are not my mp. Many leaders condemn the attack, but who in their right mind then goes and lays a wreath, prays to allah, on a grave that includes known terrorists...?oh wait...jezzer. Nice one....sound judgement. Trust you with running a country.... wouldn't trust you running a lemonade stand on a hot summers day.

I think the answer from chris was no the black september opperatives were burried in libya. So how could he lay wreaths on their graves in tynisia? Simple even for oppertuneists like ewan!

Yeah, sure, austerity policies stemming from the collapse of a deregulated banking sector was the height of cleverness.

I saw a picture of the mural - no it wasn't. it showed the old robber barons Rockefeller, Morgan, also Rothchild (which is Jewish - the others are not).

Arikara Stone cause he is a twat ?

I've got a lot of time for JC but I would disagree with you on this one. JC was pictured doing something and Evan was asking for clarification. Holding a politician to account for his actions is just the BBC's job, not necessarily being "against" them. I just wish Chris Williamson had used the opportunity to clarify the situation and move on.

00; Teresa May's government sold Saudi Arabia the weapons that were used this week to kill 50 school children in Yemen, and are causing the single largest humanitarian crisis in the world, we rarely hear any criticism about this from the BBC. Hell we are barely told anything about that war at all, it's much easier to focus on Syria where we can call Russia the bad guys and can pretend we aren't responsible for enabling war crimes. Trump openly supports Israel despite the fact they have been killing hundreds of Palestinians just a few weeks ago. This support is to the extent where his advisors have been trying to pressurise/threaten Jordan into accepting several million Palestinian refugees as full citizens, and they moved the embassy to Jerusalem. We hear more condemnation about him fucking a porn star, or some fantasy about him colluding with the Russians. We are constantly told that Russia is a danger to our democracy in the lack of any tangible evidence, but when the Israeli embassy are caught on camera deliberately attempting to undermine Corbyn, and even attempting to get a tory MP (Alan Duncan) the sack by manufacturing a scandal, the government and the newspapers are incredibly relaxed about it all. It's easy to criticise Trump for his policies; they are calculated to enrich the richest, he has increased the deficit, pissed on policies that can help the poor and despite his pledge to reduce America's involvement in foreign wars is as aggressive as any of his predecessors, (particularly in promoting the interests of Israel). I have absolutely no interest in nonsense about who he has fucked, or his links to Russia; unless actual evidence about collusion were to emerge. The outrage about that is as manufactured as this crap about Corbyn, faux outrage on the basis of nothing. If the media (including the BBC) were competent they would focus more on what is important; i.e policy, people's actual suffering, actual evidence of attempts to undermine UK democracy and less on trivial crap such as who Trump boned, or whether Corbyn laid a wreath too close to the grave of a guy who possibly may have known a terrorist once. They are pursuing a news agenda set by headlines in the tabloids, chasing up on sensationalism and ignoring real sodding issues.

Albert Hudson anyone seeking yes or no answers to a question especially a "journalist" is most likely shill.
