JEREMY Corbyn faces fresh anti-Semitism questions today after it emerged he tried to get Eurovision winner Israel banned from the whole contest.

The hard left Labour leader wanted to disqualify the Jewish state from all European sporting and cultural events.

He mounted the controversial bid while a backbench MP, joining forces with a fellow bitter critic of Israel, Lib Dem MP Bob Russell, to sponsor a Commons motion to enforce the move in November 2010, Parliament documents reveal.

The bid would also have seen the Mediterranean country thrown out of European club football competitions such as the Champions League, as well as the European Cup.

Angry MPs last night attacked the proposal and said it suggested a “sinister” attitude toward the Jewish state.

The revelation risks reigniting long running tensions within the Labour Party over Mr Corbyn’s failure to tackle its anti-Semitism scourge.

The Commons bid claimed justification on geographical grounds, as Israel is technically not within the traditional confines of the European continent.

The motion read: “The House considers that since Israel is not in Europe then it is not appropriate that it competes in European sporting and cultural events, and therefore requests the Government to encourage organises of events for European countries to exclude Israel”.

But it failed, only ever winning the support of Mr Corbyn and Mr Russell – who lost his Colchester seat in 2015.

Rounding on Mr Corbyn last night, Jewish Tory MP Andrew Percy dubbed his motion “a further example of his one-sided bias against Israel, which also happens to be the only Jewish state”.

Mr Percy, a vice chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Antisemitism, added: “Why hasn’t Corbyn also called for Australia to be thrown out of Eurovision?

“It is alarming how obsessed he seems to be with the State of Israel.

“Added to his lack of action over anti-Semitism that is rife in the Labour Party, one has to ask if there isn’t something more sinister behind his obsession.”

Israel’s act Netta Barzilai won this year’s Eurovision title on Saturday night after huge support from TV viewers for her #MeToo protest anthem, Toy.

It means the country will host the contest next year.
