Hugh Fitzgerald: I’ve Been Unfair to Jeremy Corbyn

Sep 26, 2018 11:22 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

The other day I posted a piece on Jeremy Corbyn (here and here), in which I wrote of “his refusal to visit Israel.” I was misinformed, and passed on that misinformation to others. I stand abashed and chagrined. To make things right, it is only fair that I give you a full rundown on Jeremy Corbyn’s eye-opening trip to Israel in 2010, where he did his best to become acquainted with, and to understand, the hopes and fears of ordinary Israelis, and to learn of the achievements of the tiny Jewish state.

So here is the detailed list of the people Corbyn saw, and the places he visited, on his trip to Israel. It made a deep impression on me. Perhaps it will on you.

Day One ISRAEL

Umm el-Fahm Municipality meeting with the mayor 7
Dr Jamal Zahalka – Palestinian Knesset member 9
Janan Abdu- Makhoul (the wife of Palestinian political prisoner Ameer Makhoul) in Haifa

Day Two OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM

Silwan – Al-Bustan solidarity tent 12
Tour of Al-Bustan neighbourhood in Silwan (house demolitions) 15
Sheikh Jarrah (house evictions) 17
Jerusalemite Palestinian Legislative Council members -19
International Red Cross compound

Day Three NEGEV DESERT ISRAEL

Talab El-Sana – Palestinian Knesset member 20
Regional Council of Unrecognised Villages (The Bedouin of the Negev Desert) 21f
The unrecognised village of Waadi Naam 22
Bedouin city of Rahat in the Negev (mosque demolition) 25
Demonstration against the destruction of Al-A’raqeeb 27
The unrecognised village Al-A’raqeeb –(multiple destruction) 28

YAFA (JAFFA)

Sami Abu Shahade 28
Dr Mustafa Barghouthi

And that was Jeremy Corbyn’s visit to Israel.

    I’m pretty dumbfounded. Such a lack of curiosity and empathy. After all, 6 million Jews were exterminated 75 years ago. And this man is a few political accidents away from becoming prime minister of the United Kingdom. God help the British people!

    If he is the anointed one by the PTB, good luck getting anyone else elected. The Brits opposed to the current fake diversity madness in the UK need to turn out in such numbers and vote for someone else (as in a UKIP type) that the truth cannot be hidden. Otherwise the usual ploys of finding a box or two of “previously uncounted votes” will make sure this UI is put in there.

    If that happens, count Brexit as history and any remaining (very few and far between) rights to speak up, protest peacefully, and defend yourself from attacks will be gone.

      The problem I’m having is, yes I will vote for any UKIP style party, but I’m vastly out numbered but morons who will vote for the current unelected PoS in May or vote for the terrorist sympathizer PoS in Corbyn. Neither of these turds are welcome but they head the usual 2 parties.
      Trying to convince people in some towns/cities to change who they vote for is all but impossible especially my home city of Stoke. It’s Labour run and has been for decades, you could put a rancid onion out with a red rosette in it and it will still win.
      Brexit has now become a circus side show as we will never be allowed to have it due to Europe wanting to keep their hands on Britains nuclear weapons, of which they don’t pay taxes for I do. This is one part that seems to be completely ignored but has consequences attached.

        Don’t despair, gazza. FOR BRITAIN is already targeting Labour strongholds in the north. Get on board with Anne Marie. It may seem like an impossible task, but don’t forget, the SNP came from nothing and all but destroyed Labour in Scotland.

        You have my deepest sympathy. I see the same thing here where I live in the US. However, again I am more and more convinced that there are vote counting irregularities that the government refuses to investigate, out dated voter registrations, and other problems that allow our voting system to be hijacked and compromised.

        The best solution as I see it now, is that those opposed to the useful idiots need to turn out in such numbers, that the truth cannot be hidden in every precinct and district involved.

    The impending rise of Nazi Europe in the image of Nazi Germany must be recognized. Compare the present collaborators to those in Norway, Holland, Belgium, France, . . . for there fervor and dedication to enslaving the entire community. Hitler and Himmler loved islam and used muslims to advance their control.

    Too bad he didn’t visit the unrecognized Knesset of Israel with its democratically elected body from the unrecognized state of Israel.

    That particular 2010 program is partisan because it was a study visit organized and hosted by “Friends of Al-Aqsa and The Middle East Monitor (MEMO), a UK-based pro-Palestinian lobbying group”. (Corbyn did not declare the gifted visit par the Parliament rules according to this Aug 2018 article.)
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/corbyn-met-terror-leaders-but-not-jews-on-trip-to-israel-in-2010/

    Over his career, Corbyn must have declined study visit invitations from the Israeli side, from the once socialist Israel Labor Party and such.

    If Corbyn becomes PM, what will he make of the custom for leaders of state to exchange brief official visits (with a near obligatory recommended stop at Yad VaShem in Jerusalem). As UK and Israel will continue to have some shared interests, such official visit would be interesting (English irony or not).

    If I am not mistaken, all these names are Arabic names.

      Yep.

    • Ruth says

      Sep 27, 2018 at 3:33 am

      Not only Arabic names but of individuals who lead a bitter hateful Islam- incited submersive campaign against the very existence of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. Under him as PM, the once UK is going to give zero fight against increasing Islamization forces… What a shame!

    Jeremy Corbyn is spearheading the return and rise of Nazism in Europe in the wake of Islamification and the return of widespread anti-Semitism.

    Hugh Fitzgerald: I’ve Been Unfair to Jeremy Corbyn
    …………………..

    Yes–he visited Israel, all right–and visited those who want to destroy her. This is–of course–far worse than simply refusing to visit.

    And kudos to Hugh for his deadpan delivery above.

    He went to Israel but didn’t want to speak to any Israeli Jews. Clearly he doesn’t want a balanced understanding, he’s already made up his mind.

  12. Lawrence says

    Sep 27, 2018 at 4:07 am

    I’m surprised he didn’t meet with Gideon Levy and other self-hating Jews, profs at TUA, ‘Peace Now’ and even a former Israeli Cabinet minister Yuli Tamir (a woman) who thinks Muslim clitoridetomies are just fine. I am not making this up. Well fine for Muslim girls, she’s not one of them.
    Here for the facts if you think I am making it up (from 2007), but of course you cannot satirize or parody the self-loathing Left, because it’s beyond all that.

    Corbie is bought and paid for by Palestinian money from EU and UN funds for the poor. He is stealing from the hungry and needy while spreading hate of the Jews and Christians.
