Corbyn’s leadership campaign was part-funded by pro-Hamas terror supporter

[quote] Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership campaign was part-funded by pro-Hamas terror supporter who has backed the recent wave of stabbings of Jews in Israel

The leadership campaign of Jeremy Corbyn was part-funded by a man closely connected to the EU-designated terror group Hamas, it has been alleged.

Dr Ibrahim Hamami, an outspoken supporter of the Palestinian Islamic group, reportedly gave £2,000 to Mr Corbyn in August.

The GP, who is also a supporter of the current spate of violence in Israel, is one of just three key individuals to have made donations to Mr Corbyn’s campaign.

The Labour leader further misspelled the donor’s surname, failing to reveal his true identity in a declaration to Parliamentary authorities.

Mr Corbyn listed the donation in the Commons register of members’ interests as being from ‘Dr Ibrahim Hamam’, according to TheTelegraph.

Dr Hamami is well known to Mr Corbyn, who has previously described Hamas members as ‘friends’.

But this is not the first time Mr Corbyn has come under fire for his alleged connections with terror groups and extremists.

Just last month, Labour’s candidate for London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, launched a devastating assault on Mr Corbyn, claiming that he risked inciting terrorist and anti-Semitic attacks in London.

When asked to comment on Mr Corbyn’s alleged connections to Hamas and Hezbollah, Mr Khan said Labour had to ditch its ‘anti-Jewish’ image, which was ‘not acceptable’ in Britain.

Mr Corbyn was elsewhere caught on camera declaring his friendship for Ibrahim Hewitt, a highly controversial Muslim figure who branded homosexuality a ‘great sin’ comparable to paedophilia and incest.

Speaking at a pro-Palestinian event in East London in February 2013, Mr Corbyn said: ‘I’ve got to know Ibrahim Hewitt, the Chair, extremely well, and I consider him to be a very good friend, and I think he’s done a fantastic job.’ [/quote]

that a DNC official, speaking anonymously, admitted that DWS and her friends at the top of the DNC were all in the tank for Hillary?

I can't keep straight when we're supposed to believe them and when we're not, it changes so often.

As to Corbyn, he's very strongly pro-Palestine and no friend of Israel. The associations he's made in support of the Palestinian cause are one of the big things used to attack him by his opponents
