Lol got any proof of this relationship?what a ridiculous post. Just because he believes that the West has to accept some responsibility for the current goings on in the ME doesnt mean he supports terrorist groups.
Because of the flak he was catching from elements of right-wing media, who would probably have called him a hypocrite had he sung in the first instance.

His support for Hamas and Hizbollah is hardly a secret. Also very chummy with other terrorist groups such as the IRA.

Their endorsement follows widespread criticism of Mr Corbyn for describing a Hamas delegation as "friends" when it visited Westminster several years ago along with members of Hizbollah, the Lebanese Shia organisation.

Jeremy Corbyn has been criticised for describing the killing of Osama bin Laden as a “tragedy”, after footage emerged of an interview he gave in 2011 shortly after the al-Qaeda leader was assassinated.
He criticises President Barack Obama and gives credence to conspiracy theories surrounding the killing, asking: “Why the burial at sea – if indeed there was a burial at sea – and indeed if it was Bin Laden?”

LOL stop embarrassing yourself. He does not support Hamas or Hezbollah and has said so on numerous occasions. The use of the word "friends" was taken completely out of context. He was hosting a meeting between different parties on the Middle East problems and how to work out a peace process in the Middle East and used friends as a collective way to welcome them all to a discussion................but no feel free to carry on your complete bullshit by quoting the conservative Telegraph.
In regards to the IRA he reached out to them to "attempt to stop the violence" and invited some of them to peace talks at Westminster to try and open lines of political dialogue. Corbyn said that: "The violence was wrong on all sides and I have said so all along. My whole point was if we are to bring about a peace process, you weren't going to achieve it by military means."
Nice selective quoting there as well about Bin Laden. Corbyn described the killing as a "tragedy" upon a tragedy upon a tragedy (describing 9/11, and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan)...........because Bin Laden was assassinated rather than put on trial. He said he would have preferred "law not war" (even nicely laid out in a palatable 3 word slogan for you).
He is a true pacifist that doesn't believe in killing at all. Which probably explains why he is so hated.
Lol. The moron brigade in full flow I see. You have outdone yourself this time with your ignorant apologist pap
"complete bullshit by quoting the conservative Telegraph."
I will quote from the Guardian then.
http://www.theguardian.com/commenti...abour-leadership-foreign-policy-anti-Semitism
Take the fact that Corbyn once described it as his “honour and pleasure” to host “our friends” from Hamas and Hezbollah in parliament
• Taken tea on the parliamentary terrace with Raed Salah, who he described as “a very honoured citizen” despite that fact that Salah was charged with inciting anti-Jewish racism and violence in January 2008 in Jerusalem and sentenced to eight months in prison. He was found by a British court judge to have used the “blood libel”, the medieval antisemitic canard that Jews use gentile blood for ritual purposes;
• Written a letter defending Stephen Sizer, the vicar disciplined by the Church of England for linking to an article on social media entitled 9/11: Israel Did It;
Presented a call-in programme on Press TV, a propaganda channel of the Iranian government which was banned by Ofcom and which regularly hosts Holocaust deniers;
Been accused of donating money to self-proclaimed Holocaust denier Paul Eisen, whose Deir Yassin Remembered group has been shunned by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, in the name of refusing to “turn a blind eye to anti-Semitism
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/n...ck-extradition-of-known-ira-man-31562716.html
Jeremy Corbyn tried to stop a known IRA man from facing trial in the United Kingdom following the Hyde Park bombing, it has been revealed.
http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/608298/Jeremy-Corbyn-slams-British-army-praises-IRA
Corbyn, who yesterday was at the Labour party conference in Brighton, scene of one of the IRA’s most infamous attacks, personally condemned the “British army of occupation”.
The Labour leader told the rally murder was part and parcel of government policy and said an SAS counter-terrorism operation, which killed three IRA members in Gibraltar, was “an aberration”.
....
Doesn't have an issue with Brit troops getting killed though

You calling someone an ignorant apologist is pot kettle type territory.
More selective and embarrassing quoting from yourself.
- He did not "take tea with Raed Saleh" and he was unaware of his anti semitic views at the time of meeting him.
Corbyn: "We had quite a long conversation and I made my views very clear. He did not at any stage utter any antisemitic remarks to me. Had he been convicted at that time then I’m surprised the Israeli government allowed him to travel.”
http://www.theguardian.com/politics...orbyn-antisemitism-claims-ludicrous-and-wrong
http://www.theguardian.com/politics...orbyn-antisemitism-claims-ludicrous-and-wrong
- In regards to Paul Eisen he was not aware of his anti-Semitic views at the time. The donations he made to the charity he founded were made because he was "moved by the plight of the people of Deir Yassin who had lost their village".
Corbyn said: “Holocaust denial is vile and wrong. The Holocaust was the most vile part of our history. The Jewish people killed by the Nazi Holocaust were the people who suffered the most in the 20th century.”
Corbyn said he "regretted giving any money if Eisen was a Holocaust denier at the time."
- Corbyn has clear pro-Palestinian views when it comes to the israel-palestine conflict. His letter to the vicar was in support of those views.
- He opposed the extradition of Dessie Ellis (who was found not guilty of terrorist offences and later became a politician, which ofcourse you conveniently left out) because he feared that a trial would be "politically motivated" and that he would not receive a fair trial in the UK.
- And where has he ever praised or pushed for British soldiers to be killed? Can you provide proof that he "doesn't have a problem with British soldiers being killed". Or is that just more rubbish spewing from your mouth?
If anything Corbyn can be criticized for not being diligent enough with whom he associates with. His views are not extreme (other than to those in the war mongering hard right).
Here is a good article by human rights campaigner and former Labour pollie Peter Tatchell about Corbyn. It basically says that Corbyn is a good man that has made some misjudgments on whom he actually speaks with/associates with.

And labour aren't?

Blair "middle east peace envoy". Great mates with a number of them, not least Mubarak (just a coincidence all those junkets in Sharm El Sheikh, I am sure) How do you think he made all his cash?
Lol, world of difference between his apologism and what she did.
Meanwhile once AGAIN, Corbyn shared a stage with a holocaust denier. Looks forward to resident two bit apologist blaming right wing press

Corbyn 'shares stage with Holocaust denier'
Jeremy Corbyn shared a stage last night with a conspiracy theorist who claimed that the beheading of journalist James Foley was fabricated
During an interview with the BBC last year he said: “[Israel] are fabricating all these stories about beheading journalists [James Foley] somewhere in Iraq… they are fabricating also the story of the Holocaust…”

Guilt by association again Meds. I bet if we went through every speech or every function attended by every person in politics, the majority would have attended multiple events with multiple nutters that have some fringe conspiracy theory. It's not like they walk around with a sign on them.
The bloke made the comments last year not at the event as is alluded to by your convenient cut paste job (but of course don't let the facts get in the way of a good story).

The facts speak for themselves. Corbyn is an ardent apologist for a number of terrorist groups.
You, on the other hand, seem to have a very tenuous grip on reality, hardly surprising given you are condoning the views of a rabid leftwing nutjob.
Corbyn has plenty of form, even as far as donating cash to the cause. So what if he didn't make the comments there and then? Irrelevant, Corybn ALREADY was well aware of his views.
http://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...n-Deir-Yassin-Remembered-holocaust-Paul-Eisen
The Labour leadership frontrunner has been linked to a charity run by Paul Eisen, who denies that the most infamous genocide in history took place.
Mr Corbyn has admitted that he attended a number of Deir Yassin Remembered (DYR) events and may even have given a small donation to the charity. But he insisted that he did so before Mr Eisen came out as a holocaust denier
..........
Not to mention his love of the IRA.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/gen...-not-a-serious-politician.-I-should-know.html
This is the man who sympathised with violent Irish Republicanism in the 1980s, invited IRA representatives to the Commons a fortnight after the Brighton bombing in 1984 and, at a Troops Out meeting in 1987, stood for a minute’s silence to “honour” eight IRA terrorists killed in an SAS ambush.

Read the last sentence of your own quote dopey. Unless you have actual proof that he knew and supported Eisen's anti semetic views then your quote can be discarded as conjecture. I know you would rather attack and smear the man and not the policies but try to bring up something of relevance. Donating to a charity is not "being an ardent apologist for terrorist groups".
Yes he does not tow the Tory line promoting hate towards the middle east. But he has never come out in support of terrorist groups and the atrocities they commit either. He just doesnt see the world through such us against them, bomb first ask questions later style of foreign relations that the Tories/Right Wing Labourites do.
Of course he knew about those views. He hardly hides his hatred for Israel. FFS how many examples do you need?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3191679/Jeremy-Corbyn-caught-video-calling-Muslim-hate-preacher-honoured-citizen-inviting-tea-terrace-House-Commons.html#ixzz3nP77G4fJ
Labour leadership favourite Jeremy Corbyn has been caught on video praising a hate preacher and inviting him to 'tea on the terrace' at Parliament.
In the latest of a string of revelations about his connections to alleged extremists, Corbyn can be seen referring to Sheikh Raed Salah as an 'honoured citizen' and even inviting him to tea in the House of Commons.
Salah, a prominent member of the Islamic Movement in Israel, was excluded from the UK because of concerns over his ‘virulent anti-semitism’.
.
Other than supporting Hamas, Hizbollah and the IRA?

Can you stop reposting the same articles that have been debunked over and over. You are starting to look seriously desperate.
What you dont seem to be able to comprehend is that simply sympathizing with their plight does not automatically equal agreeing with their methods as you are alluding to. For instance he sympathizes with the plight of the Palestinians but does not agree with the methods of Hamas/Hezbollah etc
Corbyn: "To bring about a peace process you may have to talk to people who you profoundly disagree".
"Does it mean I agree with Hamas and what they do? No. Does it mean I agree with Hezbollah and what they do? No"

Lol, gullibility. The guy has consistently been involved with those who support terrorism. You cant debunk that because there are countless documented examples.

Jeremy Corbyn is to share a stage with supporters of the Palestinian militant group Hamas – including an academic who has defended suicide attacks.
Another is Carlos Latuff, a cartoonist who compares Israel to the Nazis and came second in a Holocaust cartoon competition held by Iran in 2006.

Plenty of ad hominems as usual. No ability to debate the actual policies and ideas he is putting forward. How unsurprising.
I've explained countless times that he is not a supporter of terrorist acts (on all sides) and you have never put forward any instance where he actually has explicitly or implicitly supported terrorist acts. Your only argument is 'he is in the same room/on the same stage with someone so therefore he must be guilty by association'. Being someone that has been in public life and foreign policy as long as he has, you are always bound to cross paths with people from all different walks of life.
Corbyn is on the right side of history on most issues. He was one of the first British politicians to condemn apartheid in SA, he is an early supporter of the LGBTI movement, he was one of the few objectors to the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, plus other causes such as animal rights, environmental issues, nuclear disarmament etc.

Reminds me of when the Labour party made Michael Foot leader. It will end the same way.
Oh the humour, this thread is really attracting a motley collection of the ignorant and delusional.
#truebeliever
Edit, another embarrassing revelation re his terrorist sympathies.
http://order-order.com/
Jeremy Corbyn accepted a £5,000 donation from a man who claimed Palestinians have a “moral right” to terrorism. Prof. Ted Honderich, who donated the money to Corbyn’s leadership campaign last month, wrote in a 2011 letter to the Guardian:
“Palestinians have a moral right to their terrorism within historic Palestine against neo-Zionism”
Honderich went on to describe Palestinian terrorism as “based on true humanity“:
“Terrorism, as in this case, can as exactly be self-defence, a freedom struggle, martyrdom, the conclusion of an argument based on true humanity”
In an interview with Iranian state television channel Press TV, Honderich is quoted as repeating his comments:
“What is happening in Palestine, what is being done by neo-Zionism is such that it gives Palestinians, I happen to believe this and it’s gotten me into trouble, a moral right to their terrorism against neo-Zionism within all of historic Palestine.”
In 2002 Honderich wrote a book called “After the Terror“, which was withdrawn from sale in Germany after Holocaust Centre director Micha Brumlik alleged it was anti-Semitic.
