Jeremy Corbyn was at the centre of another anti-Semitism row today after he was accused of nine acts of anti-Semitism in a shocking leaked report - as a new video emerges showing him embracing a 'blood libel' preacher who was later jailed.

The damning dossier has been compiled by the Jewish Labour Movement, and submitted to the Equality and Human Rights Commission who are currently investigating the party.

The 53-page document claims that 'Mr Corbyn himself has repeatedly associated with, sympathised with and engaged in anti-Semitism'.

It sets out in nine examples of Mr Corbyn's past behaviour which the JLM claimed had acted as 'signals to party members' that 'anti-Semitic views are acceptable'.

This includes, defending Chris Williamson against allegations of anti-Semitism weeks before he was suspended for those allegations.

The damning evidence also claims he attended an event on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2010 where the Israeli government was compared to the Nazis.

It comes as video footage emerged of him embracing an Islamic hate preacher convicted of using the 'blood libel' against Jews.

The now Labour leader is seen shaking hands with Sheikh Raed Salah after a 2012 talk in which he referred to him as an 'honoured citizen' and invited him to tea in the House of Commons.

Salah, a prominent member of the Islamic Movement in Israel, had been excluded from the UK because of concerns over his 'virulent anti-Semitism'.

Mr Corbyn is accused of defending vicar Stephen Sizer after he posted anti-Semitic material online

In 2011, he was able to slip through border control at Heathrow and give a number of speeches before he was arrested on the orders of the then Home Secretary Theresa May.

His deportation was blocked in 2012 but the judge ruled that he had been guilty of a blood libel - a trope which claims that Jews kill children to use their blood for religious rituals.

Salah served two years in prison from 2014 for raising millions of pounds for the Palestinian terror group Hamas.

Mr Corbyn' support for the preacher has long been known but this is the first time they have been seen together on film.

The video, discovered by journalist Iggy Ostanin, came as 70 serving and former Labour officials condemned Jeremy Corbyn's handling of the party's anti-Semitism crisis in a bombshell submission to the UK's equalities watchdog.

The 11 accusations aimed at Corbyn directly are:

Defending vicar Stephen Sizer after he posted anti-Semitic material online

Writing a foreword for a new edition of Imperialism: A Study, which argued that banks and the press were controlled by Jews. He wrote that the tome, written by John Atkinson Hobson in 1902, was 'brilliant'

Supporting Holocaust denier Paul Eisen, a Holocaust denier, and his group Deir Yassin Remembered

Criticising a decision to remove an anti-Semitic mural from a wall in East London. in 2012, which depicted a group of 'hook-nosed' men sitting around a Monopoly board

Attending an event on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2010 where the Israeli government was compared to the Nazis

Attending a wreath laying ceremony in Tunisia for Black September terrorists who murdered Israeli athletes at the 1974 Munich Olympics - and later saying he was 'present but not involved'

Saying 'Zionists...don't understand English irony despite having lived in the country for a long time' at a Labour meeting

Failing to call out anti-Semitic abuse during his time as Labour leader, undermining his anti-racist credentials

Pressuring staff into dealing 'leniently' with cases of anti-Semitism

Resisting calls for the Labour Party to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism.

Defending Chris Williamson against allegations of anti-Semitism weeks before he was suspended for those allegations. Williamson later quit the party.

The Labour Party is under formal investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission over its handling of allegations of anti-Semitism.

Euan Philipps, spokesman for Labour Against Antisemitism, said: 'In August 2015, Mr Corbyn claimed that he had been ''unaware'' of a British court's findings in 2012 that found Raed Salah guilty of blood libel.

'However, footage revealed today shows Jeremy Corbyn embracing Raed Salah in April 2012 – at the end of a meeting in which Mr Corbyn had been discussing the British court judgement which he later claimed to have known nothing about.

'This evidence seems to prove not only that Jeremy Corbyn had close personal links with figures responsible for virulent anti-Jewish racism, but also his apparently willingness to avoid being truthful about these links.'

Chancellor Sajid Javid tweeted last night: 'Devastating evidence... on the 'institutional anti-Semitism' that has taken hold of Labour under Corbyn. When will anti-racist Labour supporters come forward and put an end to this?'

Jewish former Labour MP Luciana Berger, who was forced out of the party and joined the Lib Dems, added: 'Now the truth is there for all to see. We have to fight racism wherever it festers.'

The 70 current and ex-staff have given sworn statements which form part of the Jewish Labour Movement's submission to the EHRC.

The document handed over by the JLM represents a major blow to Mr Corbyn's general election campaign as it contains numerous accusations about him as well as the Labour Party more broadly.

It includes a claim that some prospective Jewish Labour members in one constituency were subjected to 'home visits' before they were allowed to join.

The JLM submission argues: 'The Labour Party is no longer a safe space for Jewish people or for those who stand up against anti-Semitism.

'That is the disturbing but inevitable conclusion from the evidence that JLM has put before the Commission over the course of the past 13 months.'

The 53-page document claims that 'Mr Corbyn himself has repeatedly associated with, sympathised with and engaged in anti-Semitism'.

It sets out in 11 points examples of Mr Corbyn's past behaviour which the JLM claimed had acted as 'signals to party members' that 'anti-Semitic views are acceptable'.

The JLM, which has been affiliated to Labour for decades, alleges that the party has tried to deny it has a problem and claims employees have spread 'conspiracy theories designed to discredit those who speak out against anti-Semitism.'

It also claims that 'high profile and senior members of the Party have repeatedly defended and/or associated with those accused of anti-Semitism'.

The JLM said this had provided 'legitimacy' for people in the lower branches of the party to 'do the same and/or deny that a problem exists'.

Based on the evidence compiled by the JLM it concluded that Labour's internal process for the handling of complaints was 'inherently politicised'.

It alleges that staff were asked to upload details of cases to a USB drive which was then delivered to the Leader of the Opposition's office for staff there to review and make recommendations.

The JLM submission alleges that Jewish Labour members have been 'victimised' at various levels of the party.

The JLM document said the 'Labour Party is no longer a safe space for Jewish people or for those who stand up against anti-Semitism'

For example, it cites evidence submitted by one respondent who claimed an official at a constituency Labour party had 'objected to 25 applications for membership from the ultra-orthodox Jewish community and required home visits to these prospective members' houses'.

'This was not a requirement for other prospective members and appears to have been direct discrimination against Jewish applicants for membership,' the submission states.

It highlights witness statements which revealed Jewish members often no longer feel able to attend Labour meetings 'due to the intensity of animosity towards them'.

One respondent said they had compiled 22 examples of anti-Semitic abuse being directed at them at constituency Labour party meetings.

The EHRC investigation is ongoing and it remains unclear when it will publish its findings.

Israeli foreign minister says he hopes Jeremy Corbyn does not win general election Israel's foreign minister said today he hopes Jeremy Corbyn loses next week's general election, citing allegations of anti-Semitism buffeting the Labour Party leader. With Israel in political disarray of its own after two inconclusive elections, the UK contest has elicited few comments from Israeli leaders despite deep concern among British Jews over Mr Corbyn and media reports that some might opt to emigrate if he wins power. Last week, Foreign Minister Israel Katz said the Israeli government had not discussed the prospect of Mr Corbyn's election or the future of intelligence and security ties with Britain should the veteran pro-Palestinian campaigner become PM. But pressed on the issue in an Israeli Army Radio interview today, Mr Katz was more forthcoming as the December 12 ballot approaches. 'I won't meddle in internal elections but I personally hope that he won't be elected, with this whole wave of anti-Semitism...I hope the other side wins,' he said. Advertisement

The JLM has called for the watchdog to recommend that Labour is forced to make a public statement 'acknowledging the scale and extent of the issue of anti-Semitism in the Party'.

That statement would also apologise for 'promoting a pervasive culture of denialism and obfuscation and diminishing the experience of those who have suffered as a result'.

The JLM is calling for a tougher and more transparent Internal investigations process and for a requirement that all cases must be resolved by Labour within three months.

The group held a press conference in Westminster today with former Labour head of disputes and whistleblower Sam Matthews telling reporters the party's handling of the anti-Semitism crisis was so bad it had prompted him to consider taking his own life.

'During a prolonged period, my team and I were put in the intolerable position of witnessing widespread racism in the party, and not having the support from those above us to tackle the problem effectively,' he said.

'A problem so intolerable that it directly affected the mental health of myself and my team, to the point where, by the end, I considered taking my own life.'

Mr Matthews said whistleblowers who are still Labour staff are 'fearful of retribution from their employer' for speaking out.

The JLM has refused to endorse Mr Corbyn as prime minister having previously passed a motion saying it had no faith in him to lead the country.

The group's submission claimed 'anti-Semitic abuse is now a common experience' for Jewish members attending Labour meetings

The submission to the Equality and Human Rights Commission accused Mr Corbyn of 'signalling' to his supporters that 'anti-Semitic views are acceptable'

Mr Corbyn said this morning that he 'completely' rejects allegations made by the JLM that the party had become a refuge for anti-Semites under his leadership.

Asked about the group's claims during a campaign visit to a school in Peterborough, Mr Corbyn replied: 'I completely reject that. When I became leader of the party there were no processes in place to deal with anti-Semitism.'

He added: 'We introduced an appeals procedure to deal with it and we introduced an education process so that party members understood the hurt that can be caused by anti-Semitic remarks or anti-Semitic behaviour.'

Mr Corbyn said that the 'total number of cases' of anti-Semitism 'as a proportion of party membership is very, very low indeed' but added that 'one case of anti-Semitism is one too many'.

'I do not interfere with cases and as I pointed out it's an independent process,' he said.

A Labour Party spokeswoman said: 'Anti-Semitism is an evil and we are committed to rooting it out of our Party and society. We are fully cooperating with the EHRC.

'The allegation about numbers of outstanding cases is not accurate. And it is categorically untrue that anyone has been instructed to lie.

'The Labour Party is not institutionally anti-Semitic and complaints relate to a small minority of our members.'

In relation to the video of Sheikh Raed Salah, a spokesman added: 'There was widespread criticism of the attempt to deport Raed Salah in Israel and in Britain, including from Jews for Justice for Palestinians and parliamentarians from different political backgrounds, and his appeal against deportation succeeded on all grounds.

'This video isn't new and has been reported before. Raed Salah was convicted in 2014, two years after this event in 2012.

'Blood libel is a despicable antisemitic slur, which Jeremy wholly condemns.'

Relentless abuse, cover-ups, lenient punishments: The leaked Labour anti-Semitism dossier's full sickening charge sheet

by Daniel Martin, Policy Editor for the Daily Mail

The full extent of vicious anti-Jewish racism in Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party was laid bare in a bombshell document last night.

A leaked 50-page submission to Britain's equalities watchdog detailed the extraordinary litany of vile abuse faced by Jewish members at Labour Party meetings.

Shockingly, the dossier – from the Jewish Labour Movement and based on sworn statements by 70 serving and former Labour officials – also accused Mr Corbyn's office of interfering in anti-Semitism cases, with complaints dismissed if they were made against those close to the leadership.

It concluded that the Labour Party was 'no longer a safe space for Jewish people or for those who stand up against anti-Semitism'.

The devastating dossier is the JLM's submission to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which is conducting an inquiry into whether Labour is institutionally anti-Semitic.

It marked a new low for Mr Corbyn and the scandal that has engulfed the party since he became leader. Its shocking revelations included:

VERBAL ABUSE AT MEETINGS

Such abuse is now a 'common experience' for Jews at Labour constituency events – to the extent that some Jewish members no longer feel able to attend.

One member listed 22 examples of abuse at meetings including 'Tory Jew', 'child killer', 'Zio scum', being told that he's 'good with money' and that 'Hitler was right'.

Members defended an individual who repeated an anti-Semitic trope that it's 'the over-representation of Jews in the capitalist ruling class that gives the Israel-Zionist lobby its power'.

One member claimed: 'The only reason we have prostitutes in Seven Sisters [North London} is because of the Jews'.

A Jewish councillor who was deselected was told at a Labour meeting to 'go home and count their money'.

A member shouted at a Jewish member: 'Don't you feel responsible for Israel?' and told him he should be 'ashamed'.

A 16-year-old member of the JLM was called a racist for handing out leaflets saying all forms of discrimination should be prohibited in Labour. He was told the JLM was 'financed and controlled by the Israeli government' and one member tried to grab his phone.

At Labour's conference a Jewish member sat at a table where delegates described Jews as 'subhuman', and said they 'didn't deserve to be allowed to define what constitutes anti-Semitism' and should 'be grateful we don't make them eat bacon for breakfast every day'.

Mr Corbyn supported Paul Eisen, a self-professed Holocaust denier, including attending several events by a group led by him

One former staffer of the leader's office reported that he had been subjected to an 'inquisition' about being Jewish, including his views on Israel.

RELENTLESS ABUSE ONLINE

A Jewish member was told online they were a 'ZioNazi'.

Another member referred to 'cockroaches of the Jew kind', claimed Jews were organising white genocide and said that Zionists ran camps in the Holocaust.

A Jewish member was told that the Jewish community had 'work to do' to rebuild trust with Labour.

One parliamentary candidate was accused of providing 'sexual favours' to the Israeli lobby.

Another Jewish candidate was told: 'You and your Zionist cult are NOT welcome. This is London. Not Tel Aviv.'

Images have been shared online accusing Jews of being Right-wing, controlling the banks and media, being controlled by Israel, being connected to Mossad, the CIA or MI5, and being connected to Islamic State or 9/11.

Others deny the Holocaust, compare the Jews to the Nazis, refer to Jews as traitors or 'bent-nosed manipulative liars' and 'kike' or 'yid'.

Images shared online include yellow stars of David dripping with blood, caricatures of Jewish people with exaggerated hooked noses, and an alien creature tattooed with the Star of David covering the face of the Statue of Liberty.

JEWS REFUSED MEMBERSHIP

The membership secretary in the South Tottenham constituency objected to 25 applications for membership from the ultra-orthodox Jewish community, and required home visits to these prospective members' houses.

Constituency meetings in various places were held on Friday night and Saturdays to stop observant Jews from attending.

This year's party conference pushed through controversial rule changes to its disciplinary procedures on a Saturday.

Vote of no confidence in Jewish MP Louise Ellman was scheduled on the eve of Yom Kippur.

CORBYN BACKS ANTI-SEMITES

Prior to his election as leader, Mr Corbyn defended Stephen Sizer, who posted anti-Semitic material online for which he was disciplined by Church authorities.

He wrote the foreword to a book which argued that banks and the Press were controlled by Jews.

Mr Corbyn supported Paul Eisen, a self-professed Holocaust denier, including attending several events by a group led by him.

Supported the artist Mear One who painted an anti-Semitic mural showing hook-nosed bankers playing Monopoly on the backs of the world's poor.

Mr Corbyn defended MP Chris Williamson over claims of anti-Semitism weeks before he was suspended, saying 'He is not anti-Semitic in any way'

Attended an event in 2010 on Holocaust Memorial Day entitled 'Auschwitz to Gaza: Never Again for Anyone' during which Israel was compared to the Nazis.

In 2014 Mr Corbyn laid a wreath yards from the graves of terrorists linked to the murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics.

He commented that 'Zionists ... don't understand English irony despite having lived in the country for a long time'.

After he became leader, he resisted Labour's adoption of the official definition of anti-Semitism.

Defended MP Chris Williamson over claims of anti-Semitism weeks before he was suspended, saying 'He is not anti-Semitic in any way'.

COVER-UPS BY CORBYN OFFICE

Members of Mr Corbyn's office requested the party revoke the punishment of a member suspended for anti-Semitic posts because he was 'on friendly terms with' the leader.

One staffer said: 'It became increasingly common for those under investigation to email the Leader of the Opposition or a member of the National Executive Committee and, if they were high status enough, the case would disappear.'

Thomas Gardiner, a Corbyn ally, ordered that batches of complaints be uploaded onto USB sticks and delivered to Corbyn staff to 'make recommendations regarding further action'. A staffer reported that she was 'instructed to lie to anyone who asked her where she was going, or what she was doing, when delivering the USB sticks.'

The party refused to publish a report into anti-Semitism at Oxford.

There are no credible figures on the number of cases of anti-Semitism.

LENIENT SENTENCES

It took eight months for the party to suspend Holocaust denier Alan Bull – while the two councillors who had exposed him were driven out of the party.

Activist Vicki Kirby was suspended for posting a series of tweets claiming Adolf Hitler was the 'Zionist God' - but was later hired by Corbyn aide Jennie Formby, in her capacity as a regional secretary for trade union Unite, as a regional officer.

Apsana Begum was appointed a Labour candidate despite sharing posts about 'Zionist masters'.

Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt was selected as a candidate despite having claimed Jewish MP John Bercow had 'Zionist sympathies'.

Jared O'Mara was immediately suspended over misogynistic and homophobic tweets, but it took a year to suspend Chris Williamson over anti-Semitism.

Ken Livingstone was never expelled despite saying 'Hitler supported Zionism before he went mad'. A former Labour official said senior members of Mr Corbyn's team had described calls for Mr Corbyn to be suspended as part of a 'Jewish conspiracy'.
