Letter in the Jewish Chronicle:
Dear Letters Editor
As Jewish constituents of Jeremy Corbyn for nearly two decades we have met him many times, both through his day-to-day work supporting people in his constituency, and through his wider campaigning work, especially in support of migrants and refugees and against racism, fascism and war.
Those who know him personally cannot take seriously the campaign of smears, wild distortions and innuendo against him, through which newspapers such as the Jewish Chronicle, Daily Mail and Sunday Express are trying to paint him as an antisemite or a friend of antisemites.
Memories are depressingly short. In 2013, the Daily Mail, which regularly publishes lurid scare stories about migrants and refugees, tried to undermine the previous Labour Leader, Ed Miliband, in the minds of anti-immigrant readers, by reminding them that Miliband’s father was an East European refugee. Furthermore, it claimed that Miliband senior was disloyal and insufficiently grateful to Britain. In the late 1930s, when Miliband’s family were desperately trying to escape from Nazism, it was the Sunday Express which complained in an editorial “…just now there is a big influx of foreign Jews into Britain. They are over-running the country.”
Last weekend we stood outside Yarl’s Wood Immigration Detention Centre protesting the inhuman treatment of women detained there. Jeremy Corbyn was the only leadership candidate to send a message of support.
His real crime, of course, in the eyes of the Jewish Chronicle, is that he has been a longstanding supporter of justice for the Palestinians and a negotiated peace based on an end to the occupation.
But as he said in the JW3 hustings recently: “Does questioning the behaviour of the Israeli state towards Palestinians lead to antisemitism? No, it mustn’t and shouldn’t … Whether it’s a synagogue or a mosque under attack we must all come together … as one in confronting it.”
We are proud that our MP has stood for the Labour leadership on a platform of challenging austerity, enhancing democracy, combating racism and giving support and hope to the most vulnerable members of society.

I thought it better to put a Jewish perspective rather than my own non Jewish one to make the point.
Of course it's not the opinion of all Jews, Would be facile to say it was.
Impressive dismissal though. Very well thought out.

I don't want to be accused of badgering you, so will say that this avenue is closed because obviously, Corbyn absolutely does not associate himself with homophobes or racists.

Of course a rival in the leadership race will try and besmirch him. Politics innit.

Most of the slurs against Corbyn have been half truths. One only needs to look at the whole what he said about discussing women only train carriages compared to what was reported.

Tell me, what do you think about him giving a platform to homophobes, misogynists and anti Semites? I know it is about 'fair hearing' but you must be a bit uncomfortable about it.

Corbyn said that what Kendall said was taken out of context.

Can you enlighten us as to which homophones misogynists and anti semites Corbyn gave a platform to so we can gauge the context.

Lovely chap. Nice views. No doubt, what he says is 'taken out of context'.

No doubt you will tell me that his misogyinst, homophobic, anti semitism views are merely 'progressive'. And as a white bread middle class tosser, I don't get it.

Thank you in advance.

From the article...
Mr Jahjah told LBC Radio: "We had, I think, two times lunch or breakfast together so I cannot say that Mr Corbyn is a personal friend but he is absolutely a political friend."

Mr Jahjah said in a blog: "I am like Mr Corbyn a socialist, and we do share similar values. This does not mean that I agree with him on everything and I am sure that he also disagrees with me on some things."

Mr Corbyn has also faced accusations that some of his supporters have been posting anti-Jewish abuse on social media but he described racist views as "beyond appalling".

"I have spent my life opposing racism. Until my dying day I will be opposed to racism in any form," he told BBC Radio 4.

Seems they shared some anti war views but that's about it.

Hardly a ringing endorsement is it. Clutching at straws methinks

Also in the article that Jahjah said: "every dead American, British and Dutch soldier a victory". Corbyn, who JJ describes as a 'friend' invited his chum Jahjah to speak a two separate events in the UK and shared a platform with him - prior to JJ being banned from entering the UK because of his extremist associations.
