Labour Party Conference kicks off. Excited?

That is so deluded it requires no response.

Can you at least provide proof that he has met or spoken with them? Or not?

perhaps if you have chat with him you might have a better understanding of what he is about As he once said you cannot run away or ignore people who have views which you strongly disagree with .You have to confront them in a civilised debate

there is a Youtube clip where he openly admits meeting Likud members as well as other right wingers in Israel

robel

Yes, I just saw your Victoria Derbyshire clip (Not sure why you deleted it?), where he claims to have met them. What I find puzzling, is that he is very proud of meeting hamas and hizbollah and inviting them to the HoP and there are plenty of videos of him at anti Israel gatherings and appearing on Press TV but i am yet to see from the pacifist as you call him the same thing with Israelis and at pro Israel gatherings. Why do you think that is?

For the record, I cant find any independent proof that he has met with the Israelis. Do you think he´s lying? Would Corbyn lie?

Jezza99

It's more about your views LGS, not Corbyn's. You're beyond help I'm afraid.

"Mark Regev, Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, braved the hostile chanting protestors outside the Hilton Metropole to address the Labour Friends of Israel reception last night in Brighton. Emily Thornberry told the attendees: “Jeremy’s not attending any receptions this evening because he’s got a big speech tomorrow.” Well Jezza is 68 years old, perhaps it was best he got an early night ahead of the big speech…

Hold on, here’s Jezza at the Mirror’s party.......
Almost like he preferred to boycott Israel and not show solidarity with the Israeli Labour Party. Oh Jeremy…

UPDATE: Corbyn also made it to Unite’s party. Thornberry wasn’t telling the truth.

UPDATE II: Jezza also managed an after midnight appearance at Momentum’s The World Transformed party."

If he i showing pride it is because he knows he is one of the few politicians who has the guts to stick his head over the parapet and state what he believes knowing full well the risks he takes>He has ridden all the flak  he has received remarkably well. He has anti zionist views not anti Israel .He does not agree with their aggressively  expansionist policies and those which treat Palestinians as second class citizens
actually no I don't think he is lying if for no other reason that he is known for his sincerity.Frankly I could comfortably  take his word (that is if one can do that for ANY politician )
I took the youtube clip off because all I get is a grey screen so i assumed it was not working

robel

What do the two terms quoted above mean? and what does that statement mean?

Jezza99

Yep, his commitment to sort out existing and past student's debt was a particular corker.
