Plea From Britain's Jews
This is recorded in several papers, but I like Breitbart's best, because you get a free pic of Jeremy in his Kufiya.

The keffiyeh or kufiya, also known as a ghutrah, shemagh, ḥaṭṭah, mashadah, chafiye, dastmal yazdi or cemedanî, is a traditional Arab headdress, or what is sometimes called a habit, worn in the Middle East with origins from the Fertile Crescent fashioned from a square scarf, usually made of cotton. It is commonly found in arid regions as it provides protection from sunburn, dust and sand. Toward the end of the 1980s, the keffiyeh became a fashion accessory in the United States.
The problem is not that Corbyn himself is racist or anti Semitic (and how ironic this is highlighted by Breitbart of all people).
It’s partly that his history of campaigning politics has landed him with stacks of baggage, often links with dubious organisations and people. And he still runs with many of them. He’s also a weak leader who is unable to take the firm action he needs to.
Fundamentally Corbyn in many ways is just too naive and “nice”!
His parting comment to Tom Watson about his horseradishes was very probably genuine :-)

That is hard to swallow when he talks about, "our friends at Hamas" (you do know what Hamas is don't you?) also his lack of condemnation of an East-end, wildly anti-Semitic mural.
Retro. Friendly advice; leave your Kufiya in the drawer, you are innocently sending out a message when you wear it.

Khandro //All journals put some kind of spin on the news - we all know that, but it's the predictable knee-jerk reaction by one or two on AB trying to virtue signal to anything from Breitbart that I find irksome.//
I think experience has taught us to be distrustful of certain media outlets. Surely my distrust of Breitbart (a self confessed right wing outfit) is more justified than the constant paranoia some ABers meet the merest mention of the BBC with. It's sad that some folk are so blinded by absolute hatred of their political opponents that anything they read or hear that doesn't match their already engrained opinion is seen as biased. (Again, this isn't an attack on you, just my take and both sides are equally guilty).

Khandro my friend. That is advice I will ignore but thanks any way.
The Shemagh was worn by better men than I. Colonel David Stirling ( Founder of the SAS) and the Bearded Pirates (LRDG) recognised and adopted a good bit of kit in the environment they worked in.If the natives wore a Shemagh they realised that it was the kit to copy. It is now the accepted kit for British military in the first,second Gulf Wars and Afghan Wars. Coalition forces wear the Shemagh. I don't care if someone believes I am sending out a message. My Shemagh does not remain in my drawer when needs must and to hell with any one else. . :-)

Corbyn has stated in the past that Hamas are "friends". This is well documented and undeniable.
Hamas have a stated and documented mission to kill all Jews.
Just to add to the delight, they also hate gays and women.
Fortunately I don't know any Corbyn supporters (because my friends have, what they call in the medical profession, A Brain) but I'd love to know how the Corbyn supporters defend his disgusting support of jew hating, homophobic, misogynistic scumbags.
